Real Hot Nerd Shit

About Real Hot Nerd Shit

Real Hot Nerd Shit is a pop culture podcast dedicated to reclaiming the word “nerd” and expanding the definition to include all of us. A nerd is simply a person that’s as knowledgeable as they are passionate about a certain topic that is sometimes considered weird, uncool, or unpopular. Each episode we’ll dissect some of our favorite nerd content in a specific theme from our own lenses as queer and trans people, with help from special guests along the way. So basically, it’s real hot nerds talking about real nerd shit.

   26: Eternals with Katie

   This is episode is more "review" than "recap" because it's a long ass movie that is kinda inconsequential? At least for now. But we have a great bonus Hot Nerd, Katie, to help us talk through the ups and downs of this Phase 4 installment.
