Host Brian Rawlins kicks off April Fool's Day with trivia from all three Austin Powers movies.

This episode of Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia is structured into three distinct rounds, each dedicated to one film in the Austin Powers trilogy. Host Brian Rawlins introduces the episode on April Fool's Day, framing Austin Powers as a fitting topic. The Dorky Round covers Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, with questions about the full title, cast members like Mike Myers and Elizabeth Hurley, and behind-the-scenes details such as Dr. Evil's voice being based on Lorne Michaels. It reveals Mike Myers originally wanted Jim Carrey for Dr. Evil, but scheduling conflicts with Liar Liar prevented it. The Geeky Round focuses on Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, asking about new cast additions like Heather Graham and Michael York, characters like Fat Bastard and Mini-Me, and plot points including time travel to 1969 and the theft of Austin's mojo. It notes this film received an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup. The Nerdy Round deals with Austin Powers in Goldmember, covering Beyoncé's role as Foxy Cleopatra, time travel to 1975, and character revelations such as Austin and Dr. Evil being brothers. It includes trivia about Goldmember's Dutch nationality and the film-within-a-film cameo by Tom Cruise. The episode format is straightforward quiz-style, with the host reading questions and providing answers. Recurring themes include Mike Myers' multiple roles, time travel elements across films, and spoofs of Bond villains. Key moments include the explanation of Dr. Evil's inspirations, the Oscar nomination detail, and the brother revelation. The host concludes by teasing next week's geography trivia about the three largest U.S. cities and soliciting suggestions for future film trilogies, followed by promotional content for the podcast and an audiobook ad.
