Use an INNER JOIN to join the 'movies' and 'genres' tables together only selecting the movie 'title' first and the genre 'name' second. 

SELECT movies.title,genres.name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres;

Error: Bummer! You're not retrieving the movie 'title' first and the genre 'name' second. Use an INNER JOIN.

This worked for me:

SELECT movies.title, genres.name FROM movies inner JOIN genres ON movies.genre_id = genres.id;

It selects the movies title first and the genres name second using an inner join.

Why does this work though? I get the first part where you select movies.title, genres.name first/second. I realize that this is almost verbatim to the content in the video before but it's kinda unclear that you're joining genres on movies.genre_id = genres.id
