Bring your b-cells
Here’s a project I started a few months ago – a Godfather trivia quiz for the diehard fan. This is a work in progress. Someday, I plan to publish an interactive quiz on my website.

I’ve seen the first two Godfather movies many times, but to compile a list of tricky trivia question took some very close scrutiny. I scrutinized the two movies twice over the July 4th weekend in 2020 (while also working on this website, as always). I’ll watch again when time permits to eek out a few more questions. I’m trying to decide if TGFIII is worthy of a few questions.
