Packet by Mike Bentley et al.

Theme: All of the answers in this packet will relate to sequels, juniors, or multiple incarnations of something.

TOSSUPS:

1) Montana Tucker won a MySpace contest to appear in this movie, and this Offspring Entertainment film will apparently be followed by a sequel to be shot in 3-D. Its moderately successful soundtrack contained remixes of "Can't Help But Wait" and "Girl You Know", while Wikipedia tells me that Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" is prominently featured in the film's finale. Oh yeah, the plot involves an overacting Will Kemp playing Blake Collins, the director of the Maryland School of the Arts, an institution that recently accepted former "410" member and lover of Tyler, Andie.

Its reverse side features tracks by George Martin, including "Sea of Monsters" and "Pepperland Laid Waste". This album's title track has a spoken word section that proclaims "Action station! Action station!" and "Heaven! Heaven!" but better known lines talk about living a life of ease and were sung by the drummer.

Named the 1936 Minor League Player of the Year by The Sporting News, this pitcher tied Carl Hubbell's record of striking out six All Star Game batters in 1943. Nicknamed the "Dutch Master," he was honored by a resolution passed by a special session of the Ohio Senate calling him "the newly crowned king of the baseball world." He got Leo Durocher to pop out after walking the bases loaded in the ninth inning to give him a victory over Max Butcher, which occurred four days after he no-hit the Boston Bees. FTP, name this Cincinnati Reds pitcher, who in 1938 became the only player in baseball history to pitch two consecutive no-hitters.

ANSWER: Johnny Vander Meer

4) During development it was known as "Project Kansas" and was primarily pushed by marketing executives Sergio Zyman and Brian Dyson. In the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, the company behind it was criticized for the small scale nature of tests done for this product. Both Bill Cosby and Max Headroom were spokesmen for this product, the latter of whom was part of the "Catch the Wave" campaign promoting it. In response to criticism, the acidity in this beverage was decreased, while from the start its less-sweet flavor was touted as an advantage over its main competitor.

ANSWER: The Cat in the Hat Comes Back

6) The eventual loser began a surge in the fifth round of this bout, leading the victor to try an unsuccessful rope-a-dope technique that he had found success with against a different fighter before. Leading up to this bout, one of the participants beat up on a rubber gorilla symbolizing his opponent. Eddie Futch almost stopped it after one of the participant's mouth guards came out, and did indeed stop it before Round 15 after a beating taken by his nearly blind fighter.
