Nerd Skool

By: History For Jerks
  • Summary

  • The Nerd Skool Podcast, part of the Queen City Podcast Network, began when nerd-curious Joe Hunsaker of “History for Jerks” realized that he knew more experienced nerds in his life beyond simply his former entertainment writer brother Andy. After witnessing many spirited debates between his co-workers – the Sith-identifying Arthur “ArtStar” Lovely and the “Secret Nerd” Tiffany Bryant-Jackson - he decided he wanted to learn how to become a nerd himself. The three convened the Nerd Skool to educate Joe on nerd culture and nerd media, as well as the benefits of “actually paying attention to movies.” They are soon to begin a course on Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We discuss some confusion about deleted scenes and additional changes George Lucas made to the original trilogy and excitement we all had (or didn't have) about Star Wars growing up. We talk Jabba The Hutt, WTF is Chewbacca, and even hear a little bit from an 11 year old named Sparky. We talked for so long, we had to split this into two episodes. This is part 1.
