Funny You Ask
“Oh, this is a quizshow?!” exclaims Mindy Kaling, not so much maligning actor and gameshow champ Ike Barinholtz’s (pictured) new podcast as misunderstanding it. She’s soon up to speed with his mix of trivia questions and meandering chat (which in Kaling’s case touches on everything from Chevy Chase to New Jersey Italian food).

They begin with 1979’s The Amityville Horror (“a very fly-heavy movie”), before exploring increasingly sideways spin-offs such as Amityville 3-D (1983). HJD
