The Season 1 Championship of the 1015 Challenge is here! Undefeated champ MJ Acosta-Ruiz (who swept through Tyler and Kev On Stage to get here) faces off against #1 seed Joy Taylor, who's coming in fresh off a bye round — for the ultimate title of Film & TV trivia champion. 👑 15 questions, steals, and two of the most competitive women in sports media going head-to-head over Braveheart, Gladiator, Pulp Fiction, 300, Independence Day, The Devil Wears Prada, The Lion King, Remember the Titans, The Equalizer, and Dirty Dancing. It's so close it ends up TIED 3-3, forcing a dramatic tiebreaker — first a buzzer round, then a winner-take-all "best of three" plot showdown with zero multiple choice to hide behind. 😱 Who takes home the Season 1 crown?
