It’s time to bid farewell to Superman, the Fantastic Four, Lilo and Stitch, and Ne Zha. We’re moving into fall and the holidays, a time cinema reserves for awards bait, spooky Halloween fare, and also more big budget IP designed to take your money.

Never change, Hollywood.



But in all seriousness, this Autumn’s calendar is filled with a ton of silver screen releases that you’re going to love.

Let’s see who’s getting a head start on awards season!

POP CULTURE Q1. Conjuring Catholicism: Released last week, the most recent entry in “The Conjuring” series may not be the end for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, despite having what subtitle invoking a set of Catholic prayers and reassurances for dying folks?



MISCELLANEOUS Q2. Peerage Patriarchs : Dirty Money Establishes Victoria’s Brood is a handy mnemonic for remembering the descending order of the ranks in Britain’s nobility peerage, from duke to baron. “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” promises to wrap up the Crawley story, with Hugh Bonneville returning as a patriarch with what E-rank repped by “Establishes”?



POP CULTURE Q3. Springsteen States: Jeremy Allen White brings his broody “The Bear” energy as The Boss in “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.” Popcorn is essential, since it’s about Bruce’s recording of an album named for what very corny unicameral state about 1,300 miles west of his native New Jersey?



POP CULTURE Q4. Thanksgiving Titles: When looking for a title for the second installment of Wicked coming this Thanksgiving, Jon M. Chu stole from the most famous song in the second act. Fill in the blank with the oxymoronic word – “Wicked: For _______.”



POP CULTURE Q5. Magic Monikers: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher all return as heist-pulling magicians in “Now You See Me: Now You Don't.” Yet another thing that quartet stole is their own name, pilfered from what other famous foursome found in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation?



POP CULTURE Q6. Olympic Oscars: Timothée Chalamet gets to try out new facial hair this Christmas. As the titular character in “Marty Supreme,” he’s seeking worldwide fame by competing in what China-dominated Olympic sport that helped Tom Hanks smash a second consecutive Best Actor Oscar in the early ‘90s?



POP CULTURE Q7. Acclaimed Adaptations: “The Long Walk” and a remake of “The Running Man” might soon join "Carrie" (94%), "Stand By Me" (92%), "1922" (92%), "Gerald’s Game" (91%), and "Misery" (91%) among the highest ranked adaptations on Rotten Tomatoes by what author?



MISCELLANEOUS Q8. Mediterranean Myths: In “Bugonia,” Jesse Plemons is a conspiracy-minded apiarist who kidnaps a CEO (Emma Stone) he thinks is an alien. The title comes from an old Mediterranean belief that the bodies of dead oxen spontaneously generate what insects that an apiarist, uh, keeps?



POP CULTURE Q9. Cinema Crossovers: “Predator: Badlands” takes us to the home planet of the extreme huntsman Predator species. Elle Fanning stars not as a Predator but as a synthetic human manufactured by Weyland-Yutani, yet another crossover with what sci-fi horror franchise that just dropped its own “Earth” series on FX?



POP CULTURE Q10. Couple Covers: “Song Sung Blue” stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as a real-life couple covering the music of what “Cherry Cherry” and “Cracklin’ Rosie” singer who almost chose Ice Charry as his stage name?



TIEBREAKER Rock Roles: Dwayne Johnson plays real life UFC legend Mark Kerr in “The Smashing Machine.” Tracing Kerr’s mixed martial arts ascent, the film will surely cover his heavyweight victory by - ow! - chin to eye submission at UFC 14 in what year?
