Description


Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. The 134th episode of NERD! has Dre and Jeff beginning their season on Cinematic Child Neglect (fun!) with Searching for Bobby Fischer, the mid-90's, mid-budget film about the furious life of...a competitive chess prodigy, sprinkled with facts about one of the world's most famous living anti-semites. Yikes. There's a lot to unpack about this weirdly star-studded look analysis of childhood pressure, so let's slap those alarm clock looking thingies, maybe finally learn what "Castling" is, and become overbearing parental nightmares, as we dive deep into Searching for Bobby Fischer, celebrating chess (and numbers) nerd Dre's Birthday entering our second year of the show!
