Geeks were once the butt of the joke on screen. Today, they’re often the heroes who save the day. How did so much change? Join us for the fifth episode of our series "How Geek Culture Became Pop culture", where we're looking at how geeks on screen went from zeroes to heroes! It's been an uphill battle for geeks, but we show how classic films like "Ghostbusters", "The Breakfast Club", and "Revenge of the Nerds", TV shows like "Freaks and Geeks", and the rise of tech giants like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, changed how they were portrayed and perceived. Heck, even Disney has been leaning towards adorkable characters. Who's YOUR favorite nerd hero from the big or small screen? Share in the comments!
