'''''Shout About Movies''''', a game by ODVD, is a [[Film|movie]] [[trivia]] [[DVD game]] played entirely on a [[television]]. Designed to be played with four or more players, a [[DVD player]] and a television is all that is needed. Players split up into two teams, shout out answers, and use the remote to keep score. Whichever player shouts the answer correctly, their team gets the point. The game has eight rounds, and all of them revolve around movies, with a healthy dose of general trivia mixed in. Similar to ''[[You Don't Know Jack]]'' and ''[[Trivial Pursuit]]'' in tone, it is distinguished by the DVD player keeping track of the score. Each DVD has three games, and each game has eight rounds.
