Using information from The Movie Database API, create a collaborative game where trivia about a movie (movie name, performers, genre, year produced, etc) is provided as a hint, and the user must guess the correct answer based on a list of possible answers. The user has ‘X’ seconds to answer. Click an answer to confirm your guess. If your guess is correct, then you will be rewarded with a link to play the movie trailer. Additional correct guesses will display a badge with the number of correct guesses. An incorrect guess will clear the badge and reset the game. The game can be played with one or more players at a time in person or using a screen share service like Zoom.
Expected Behavior
The game should play with no game breaking errors
Actual Behavior
Certain movies will break the game with an error
Troubleshooting/Testing Steps Attempted
In madLibsArray.js I only commented out the hard coded questions and left the dynamic questions in. I also added a randomCast check that logs randomCast undefined! as well as the stack trace and the movie in question.
The stack trace also hints that this error occurs before the recursive check solution implemented by #188
Workaround
If we need to prune this bug ticket, reducing the number of movie querys in FetchApi.js line 4 back to 1 or 2 might be the "band-aid" fix

Bug Description Certain movies may have a missing cast, resulting in
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'randomCast1.name')Steps to Reproduce
This bug is a little hard to reproduce since it's by chance. So far I've observed movie id's 886896 and 831827 have no cast data https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/831827-far-from-the-tree https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/886896-save-the-tree
