  THE GODFATHER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Godfather is a 1972 American crime drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel. The film follows the powerful Corleone family, led by patriarch Vito Corleone, a Mafia don in post-World War II New York. As Vito’s youngest son, Michael, reluctantly becomes involved in the family's criminal empire, the story explores themes of power, loyalty, revenge, and the complexities of family dynamics. The film delves into the moral struggles faced by its characters as they navigate the dangerous world of organized crime, blending crime thriller with deep emotional and ethical conflicts. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Marlon Brando used a mouthpiece made by a dentist to create the distinct look of Don Vito Corleone. He had originally stuffed his cheeks with cotton for his audition to achieve the "bulldog" look.” 
    
  “The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found on the Paramount lot. It wasn't in the script, and the cat’s purring muffled Brando’s dialogue, so most of his lines had to be re-recorded.” 
    
  “There was significant tension between Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount Pictures, with the studio often trying to replace Coppola due to delays, overspending, and casting issues. However, Coppola finished the film ahead of schedule and under budget.” 
    
  “Marlon Brando improvised the smack that Don Vito gives Johnny Fontane in the movie, and Al Martino's confused reaction was genuine. James Caan later said that Martino didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”

  Radical Cartography - How...

  A thought-provoking exploration of how maps shape our understanding of the world 
  Cartographer and historian William Rankin argues that it's time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. Maps are not neutral visualizations of facts. They are innately political, defining how the world is divided, what becomes visible and what stays hidden, and whose voices are heard. What matters isn't just the topics or the data, but how maps make arguments about how the world works. And the consequences are enormous. A map's visual argument can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind. Maps don't just show us information—they help construct our world.Brimming with vibrant maps, including many "radical" maps created by Rankin himself and by other cutting-edge mapmakers, Radical Cartography exposes the consequences of how maps represent boundaries, layers, people, projections, color, scale, and time. Challenging the map as a tool of the status quo, Rankin empowers listeners to embrace three unexpected values for the future of cartography: uncertainty, multiplicity, and subjectivity. Changing the tools—changing the maps—can change the questions we ask, the answers we accept, and the world we build.

  A lively collection of essays that re-examines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever
  		 
  Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
  		 
  “A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read.” — Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara 
  		 
  In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
  		 
  With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.
