Have you ever wondered what teachers discuss in the breakroom when they’re not reading through stacks of student essays and tests? Besides the usual topics of grades or lessons, Mitch and Christina often digress into conversations about movies, music and tv. We’re two English teachers who harbor secret hopes of one day becoming famous entertainment world critics. We know we’re a little obsessed, but we’ve accepted it, even embraced it. We’ve created this blog to invite you to join our conversation.

Welcome to The Breakroom.

A little baseball trivia

I just read that Randy Johnson's retiring right before he would have played in his fourth decade. How many major leaguers are about to begin their 4th decade right now? I can only think of three right now although I'm sure I'm missing a few more. I'm not going to look on the internet for this one. How many players can you come up with? If you're participating in trying to answer this wonderful question just post the number of players you were able to come up with and then on Friday you can post the actual names you came up with.

Movie Trivia!

I'll make a full post soon about interesting facts regarding Best Picture winners, but here are some trivia questions to think about.

1) Name the only actor or actress to play a significant role in multiple Best Picture winners this decade.

2) Name the only actor or actress to play a significant role in multiple 1990s Best Picture winners.

3) Beginning with the 1950s, there have been only two actors or actresses to star in Best Picture winners for three consecutive decades. Who are they?
