Is America Experiencing A ‘Revenge Of The Nerds’ Moment?
When I was a kid, I remember watching the 1984 movie “Revenge of the Nerds” and laughing at the ridiculousness of it. I understood it on a kid’s level as a comedy. A few years ago, I re-watched it and understood it on a different & deeper level. I saw understood it as two factions: …
