    INCEPTION 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Inception is a mind-bending science fiction thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who specializes in "extraction," stealing secrets from within a person's subconscious during dreams. Cobb is offered a chance to have his criminal past erased if he can perform the impossible: "inception," planting an idea in someone's mind without them realizing. To achieve this, he assembles a team and navigates multiple layers of dreams within dreams. The movie explores themes of memory, guilt, reality, and the power of the subconscious, blending action with deep philosophical questions about perception and identity. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Christopher Nolan has said that the snow-based third-level dream was inspired by his favorite James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).” 
      
    “Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed all but one of his own stunts during the famous hallway fight scene, which took place in a spinning hallway.” 
      
    “According to cinematographer Wally Pfister, Warner Brothers executives suggested making this movie in 3D, but Christopher Nolan rejected the idea, claiming it would distract from the storytelling.” 
      
    “Leonardo DiCaprio was the only choice for the role of Cobb, according to Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas.” 
      
    “Christopher Nolan first pitched Inception to Warner Brothers after completing his third film, Insomnia (2002), and received approval. However, the movie wasn't written at that time. It took nearly eight years to complete the script.”

    THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, airing on NBC from 1990 to 1996. The series stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia who moves in with his wealthy relatives in Bel-Air. The show humorously explores the clash between Will's working-class background and his relatives' upper-class lifestyle. The sitcom was a top hit for NBC, running for 148 episodes over six seasons, and is considered to be a watershed moment for hip-hop and Black television. The series led to a reunion special and a dramatic reboot titled Bel-Air. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    The show's premise was based on the life of Benny Medina, who grew up poor but then lived with a wealthy family, but the show changed the family to a rich Black family so it could explore black-on-black prejudice and class differences. The series was created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, and they based the cousins on Quincy Jones' daughters.  
      
    Will Smith, who was known as one half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, was in debt due to unpaid taxes when he was offered a role in the show. He met Benny Medina by chance and then auditioned for NBC chief Brandon Tartikoff on the spot, securing a contract that night in a limo.  
      
    The pilot episode was written and taped in about three weeks. The show's theme song, "Yo Home to Bel Air," was written and performed by Will Smith under his stage name, with music composed by Quincy Jones.

    When you think of 'gambling' you might think of Vegas casinos, betting shops and football flutters but the risk of gambling is embedded in numerous corners of popular culture that many of us consume.
    By considering the concept of 'soft gambling', No Dice asks how we could possibly link the Pokémon Trading Card Game with gambling. Can we compare Netflix to a night at the theatre? When does fictional gambling within video games go too far with their infamous loot boxes? Does such risk affect everyone or are socio-economic divides driving further inequality?
    No Dice explores the messy world of gambling and risk that we encounter regularly, from childhood through adulthood, considering if it is worth the risk and if we even know what risks we might be taking.
