Episode 97 - Mount Rushmore of NERDS

If the Nerd Best Friends had their own mountain… who would be carved into it forever?

In this episode, the Nerd Best Friends take on the ultimate nerd debate: our personal Mount Rushmore of Nerds. We’re talking about the creators, storytellers, and visionaries who shaped the fandoms we love—the people whose ideas launched universes, defined genres, and gave nerd culture some of its most iconic moments.

From legendary filmmakers and comic book masterminds to authors and world-builders, we each choose the four nerd icons we believe deserve a permanent place on the mountain of nerd greatness. But as you might expect… the debates get passionate, the picks get personal, and the definition of what makes someone a “true nerd legend” gets tested.

Along the way we talk about:

The creators who built the fandoms we grew up in

The storytellers whose ideas changed pop culture forever

The writers and artists who shaped entire nerd generations

And the tough choices when only four faces can make the mountain

Plus, we want to hear from YOU, Nerd Herd — who would be on your Mount Rushmore of Nerds?

So grab your chisel, carve your picks in stone, and join us for one of the nerdiest debates yet.
