Why is this not accepted as a solution?
SELECT title, name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres ON genre_id = id;
It seems to work without the need to specify them in MySQL, since there is no overlap on column names in both tables. The above, however did not pass the challenge.

You could omit things when actually using MySQL, but it's generally better to be a bit more explicit and clear about what you're doing, if only so you can better understand the code when looking at it later.
