A POX on these jumping screens-- they made me get an easy question wrong!
Jack Mercer voiced Popeye The Sailor for 49 years, from 1935 until his death on December 4, 1984, so it should be "almost half a century," not "nearly half a century." Who writes this stuff over there at MeTV?!? 🙄😣😡
He died around the time of my birthday..(Crying).
19 of 20 missed breakfast cereal question
I messed up on the video game question! The other "wrong" answer was because the screen jumped! Is there a trick to this?
I remember mad magazine spiff on Popeye. Olyve swallowed an olive and doctor says congrats to Popeye.
15 out of 20. Needs me spinach to score better!

Not bad!
20 out of 20. I guessed on #19.
Hello
If Popeye could make his fully cameo appearance in Makoto Shinkai's next film, I called it "Rumor's Delight", it's like Anchors Aweigh but his version,
A story about a Tokyo schoolgirl named Rui Yamane with her love interest (or friend) named Bill Seethers embarks a journey to save Tokyo from a spreading of Covid-a-teen (a villain that spreads covid-19 from space) to get the Marvelous Feast.
Guest stars Popeye (Voiced by Eric Bauza) dancing with Rui in his segment (just like Jerry dancing with Gene kelly)
Cameos is weathering with you stars: Hodaka Morishima was seen at the Tokyo park, and Hina Amano working at Joyful Burger
Shinkai give Joshua Moshier their new music for the film while RADWIMPS will not reprise their music for the film
Production company by CoMix Wave films and Distributed by Paramount Pictures and Toho family Entertainment
