Geeks Who Plex: Serving Up Pop Culture Trivia at Quiz

Look, we know what your weeknights look like. When you aren’t geeking and drinking at your local Geeks Who Drink quiz, desperately trying to remember the name of that one guy who was in that one movie with the explosive bus, you’re on your couch. You’re wrapped in a blanket, staring down one of a dozen streaming menus, trying to figure out what to watch next. You are a curator of your own digital domain, a hoarder of high-definition media, a true connoisseur of pop culture.

In other words, a geek. That’s kinda the whole point of what we do.

That’s why the crack team of writers and eccentric professionals here at Geeks Who Drink are partnering up with the equally passionate professionals at Plex, the ultimate social entertainment app for movie and TV lovers, to put your encyclopedic knowledge to the test.

Starting this month, the pop culture questions in your regular weekly quiz nights will see an extra touch of Plex’s fan-centered philosophy. It’s the same Geeks content you know and love, just with the boosted, magic touch of Plex’s extensive platform and incredible community. 

Whether your team is full of casual movie watchers or data-hoarding tech geeks who spend their weekends organizing server racks, these rounds will have something for everyone. Plex is built around the idea that entertainment is better together. The conversations, debates, recommendations, and hot takes are what make being a fan so much fun. It’s the same energy, different screen.

The Team Up: We’re Fans, Just Like You

If your brain is filled with movie quotes and your closet is filled with fandom merch, you already understand the DNA of this partnership. Geeks Who Drink and Plex are joining forces for one simple, undeniable reason: we are all massive fans, just like you.

At its core, Geeks Who Drink isn’t just about winning a gift card to a local brewery; it’s about the community that forms when people obsess over the things they love. Plex is built on that exact same philosophy. They aren’t a faceless tech conglomerate trying to algorithmically feed you soulless content—they are media nerds who want a better way to watch, organize, and talk about great stories.

“At Plex, we believe entertainment is better when it’s shared — whether that’s arguing about a plot twist with friends or trying to remember the name of that one guy from that one movie,” said Jill Broek, Head of Growth at Plex. “Partnering with Geeks Who Drink was a no-brainer: they’ve built a community of people who love obsessing over the details, whether that’s pop culture, music, or geography. For us, that’s movies and TV, and we’re excited to bring that same energy to this partnership.”

Beyond the Screen: Plex’s New Community Features

For a long time, people knew Plex as the ultimate tool for organizing their personal media with a Plex Media Server. But just like a good pub quiz, entertainment is always better when it’s a social experience. Plex has evolved into a massive, interconnected playground for fandom, rolling out a suite of incredible community features that bridge the gap between the shows and movies you’re watching and your social circle:

• Add Friends & Activity Streams: Ever wonder what your trivia teammates are actually watching when they claim they’re too busy to study? Now you can add your friends on Plex and see what they’re watching, rating, and reviewing in real-time.
• Public Reviews & Star Ratings: Channel your inner film critic. Leave ratings and reviews on the movies and shows you watch and help your fellow nerds find hidden gems (or avoid legendary cinematic disasters).
• Discussions: Got a wild fan theory about the latest sci-fi finale? Plex’s discussion boards give you a dedicated space to argue, dissect, and deep-dive into plot points with a global community of fellow fans.
• Curated Lists: Show off your taste by building custom, curated lists. Whether it’s “Essential 90s Cyberpunk,” “Movies Where the Main Character is a Bad Cook,” or a dedicated “Geeks Who Drink Study Guide” list, you can share your custom collections publicly for others to discover.

Ready to Press Play?

As always, our regular trivia nights are totally free to play, and you’ll be competing for regular bar cash, local brewery prizes, and ultimate bragging rights. Find a venue near you, clear your calendar, and make sure your team is ready. By which we mean, you’ll probably want to explore Plex and brush up on your favorite titles before pub quiz rolls around. 

We’ll see you at the pub, glasses raised, ready to turn all those hours of couch-based media consumption into sweet, sweet victory.
