Description

<p>The once-were-Geeks-in-High-School-but-now-proudly-identify-as-Freaks are back with another episode breakdown: this time of the seminal (hey, we used that word right!) series Freaks and Geeks. We went right to the start with the first episode, creatively titled &quot;Pilot&quot;.<br/><br/>What were you in school? A nerdy geek? A burnout freak? A bully jock? A... Hufflepuff? Well, regardless that the title breaks kids down into only clique, what we really learn in the Pilot and through this series is that we&apos;re more than the labels we&apos;re given.  In fact, it&apos;s somewhat ironic that this show can make us nostalgic for what was most definitely NOT the greatest years of our lives.<br/><br/>Not only do we love this show for the complexity of these characters; but the show was a veritable well spring for talent.  Oddly enough, we&apos;ve seen that most of these people somehow ended up in a Spider-man movie, since all roads lead to Spider-man.<br/><br/>Some other strange connections we&apos;ve learned or only just remembered was that Linda Cardellini was in Legally Blonde getting her hair permed, and it&apos;s possibly that Tina Fey stole the entire idea for Mean Girls from Freaks and Geeks.  <br/><br/>Just make sure you listen for any more hot takes!<br/><br/>Follow Sam on IG: @sam_thistle<br/>Follow Gus&apos; other podcast on IG: @primos_primeros<br/>Follow Matt&apos;s dog on IG: @itsindythedoodle<br/><br/>Follow the show on IG: @comedynightpodcastedright<br/>Follow the show on Twitter: @comedynightpod1<br/>Follow the show on Reddit: reddit.com/r/comedynightpodright<br/>E-mail us and get it read on air: [email protected]</p>
