Correct response: What are “Rosebud” and “Plastics”?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
“Rosebud” is famous from 1941’s Citizen Kane, as they are the last words of the title character. “Plastics” comes from 1967’s The Graduate; on its surface, it was a well-meaning piece of investment advice from Mr. McGuire, but it has been analyzed into more.
One other note: With Thanksgiving coming up, the show does still have episodes scheduled to air the remainder of this week (And, every weekday of the 46-week season.)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Alex said he thought that the Final Jeopardy! clue was “brutal”. Agree or disagree?

I thought Streetcar was 1951 for the movie and 1947 for the play……
I’m confused as to what prompted this comment; please explain.
Probably our discussion of “Stella!” above, which was also in Beth’s response. I said MarkO’s guess was good, but not great…the year was off, as Anthony correctly points out. 🙂
Call it nit-picking, but “Plastics” was meant as career advice in “The Graduate,” not investment advice. Not too many college graduates have a stash of cash available for investing.
The “Streetcar” comment refers to the new champ’s response of “Stella.” “Stella” didn’t originate from either 1941 or 1967.
BTW, I had them both within seconds . . . “Rosebud” first, and then “Plastics.” And I remembered the latter was plural.
Agree. “Rosebud” came to me after a few seconds, but I don’t think I would have come up with “Plastics” if you gave me all day.
