Retroist Revenge of the Nerds Podcast
Step into the Retroist Revenge of the Nerds Podcast, where the spotlight shines on the classic film that captured the hearts of many – Revenge of the Nerds. Join me as we journey through the world of nerds, misfits, and underdogs, exploring the impact of this film and its lasting legacy.
Now, picture this – a world where the term "nerd" isn't just a label, but a badge of honor. On this week's show, we dive deep into the phenomenon that is Revenge of the Nerds, unraveling its layers, discussing its cultural significance, and exploring why a reboot might not capture the same magic in today's world.
But before we get into the heart of the film, let's talk about a universal theme – finding your place in various groups as you navigate through life. It's like a journey of self-discovery, often leading us to unexpected places. I'll share my own experience in high school, where I chose the realm of trivia and academics over the track team, finding my true tribe in the process.
Now, let's dive into the film itself – the cast, the plot, and the sequels that followed. I'll guide you through the characters that brought this story to life, the humor that still tickles our funny bones, and the twists and turns that kept us on the edge of our seats. It's like revisiting an old friend and discovering new facets that make the connection even stronger.
But what's a podcast without music? Peachy's melodies provide the soundtrack to our journey, infusing each moment with the right notes of nostalgia and excitement.
And here's the thing – Revenge of the Nerds isn't just a film; it's a snapshot of an era, a testament to the power of unity and the spirit of the underdog. As we explore the film's impact and legacy, let's remember that sometimes, the most unexpected stories become the ones that resonate the loudest.

Production Notes
I recorded this show one other time before editing and releasing this version. A lot of great oral history articles online, so it is very easy to find information on this movie. This is also a film with a DVD commentary track, which is a fun way to get more info and immerse yourself before a show.
In the end, I probably editing out about 22 minutes of “other” stuff that slowed things down. I might have wanted to knock another 4 or 5 minutes off this, but my fandom for the film makes that a bit difficult.
Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
