Before gaming was mainstream, before superheroes dominated Hollywood, before anime was everywhere and being a nerd became a badge of honor... we were already here. Slim, Black, and Chris take a trip back to what it was like growing up loving video games, comics, movies, TV, toys, sci-fi, and all things geeky when being a geek wasn't exactly considered cool. We talk about the teasing, the stereotypes, the experience of being Black and geeky, and the moments when geek culture finally went from the sidelines to center stage. But did society really embrace geeks, or did somebody just realize we had money to spend? It's nostalgia, culture, comedy, and a little generational side-eye from three guys who were geeks before the world decided it was cool.
