Hi Chris,

The WHERE clause needs to go after all the joining takes place. It should look something like:

SELECT * FROM Media 
JOIN Media_Genres ON Media.media_id = Media_Genres.media_id 
JOIN Genres ON Genres.genre_id = Media_Genres.genre_id
WHERE Media_Genres.media_id = Media.media_id

Thank you, Marc!
