I would have guessed "The Honeymooners," with "The Flintstones" as one of the "inspired-by"s. But I KNOW you've seen episodes of The Honeymooners," so that can't be it. George

WW, go ahead, if you want it. George

In one of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" comic strips, captioned "Hell's Video Store", the entire store is stocked with nothing but copies of this film. Larson later apologized, saying "When I drew the above cartoon, I had not actually seen [the movie]. Years later, I saw it on an airplane, and was stunned at what was happening to me: I was actually being entertained. Sure, maybe it's not the greatest film ever made, but my cartoon was way off the mark. There are so many cartoons for which I should probably write an apology, but this is the only one which compels me to do so." Although the film had an overwhelmingly negative reception when released, it underwent three successful screenings with preview audiences. The stars have all defended the film's quality in subsequent years, blaming its bad reputation on reports of production and budgetary problems which had been leaked to the press by studio head David Puttnam, who disliked two of the stars. Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Edgar Wright are fans of the film. Scorsese called it one of his favorite movies. George

Raf's. I'll leave it up to him to hand it off, if he wishes. He hasn't been posting much. George

Yes. Jamie Lee Curtis kickstarted her career with Halloween but has obviously been in many other kinds of roles. At least, back in the day, the "usual" scream queens were Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer (McLellan), Brinke Stevens, and probably Esther Elise. One could also list Linda Blair and pretty much the whole cast of Scream, as well as the starlets of the Troma films. George

Presumably, this test is for WW and Human, since I clearly know. George

That would depend on whether one watched a lot of schlock movies or not. This one's appearance in such a role was in a widely-distributed film (as well as a few of the sequels), so she might be the best known. She wouldn't have been the first to come to (my) mind. George

The title of this short-lived (2015-2016) show was derived from a nickname for a certain type of actor/role. One of the stars (sort of the anti-hero) would reasonably be considered such a star, although she is well-known for many other types of role, as well. The same star would hold a thumbtack in her hand and squeeze it, to keep from laughing while delivering funny lines. The producer of the show had the same star in mind; in fact, he said he wouldn't produce the show without her. She accepted the role without reading a script. The actual lead character often makes references to Nancy Drew. The actress portrayed Drew in a previous series. A "reality" show of the same name ran from 2008 to 2010, where budding actresses competed for a Hollywood role. George

This will be a toughie, but it's oddball enough that this crew might get it. The title of this short-lived (two seasons) show was derived from a nickname for a certain type of actor/role. One of the stars (sort of the anti-hero) would reasonably be considered such a star, although she is well-known for many other types of role, as well. The same star would hold a thumbtack in her hand and squeeze it, to keep from laughing while delivering funny lines. George

I think it was "The Distinguished Gentleman" Eddie Murphy. George -
I don't remember the scene, exactly, but the "collaboration/sequel" hint reminded me of Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games. The Iran/Contra affair was more Clear-and-Present-y. George
