Answer our 2026 Audience Census!

"This game is all about movies with titles that sound dirty but aren't."

David goes to Spanktown every day. You might ask Why, or wonder if he's ever going to Hell. It all does feel a bit Peculiar and Boring. No, we haven't suddenly gone off the deep end, but rather, we're exploring some quirky and unusual town names. Zach Sherwin is the creator of The Crossword Show, and a veteran of the iconic YouTube channel Epic Rap Battles of History. He joins us today to talk about his show and tackle some puzzles.

Today's game is called Down and Dirty, where every answer is a movie with a title that sounds dirty, but isn't. If you want to learn more about Zach Sherwin and The Crossword Show, check out our interview with him on Reality Escape Pod S10E10. He'll also be performing live at the Reality Escape Convention this August 2026.
