Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss the rare pilot for Revenge of the Nerds from 1991. Nerds join a fraternity to score with chicks with network TV level hijinks.

Taking the standard trope of TV shows spun off movies, this pilot episode retells its feature film inspiration as a single TV episode. Well, actually it's maybe the first half of the original movie. Things are toned down, there's a constant laugh track as was the style of the time (this has major Saved by the Bell vibes), and it drags like snail juice. This is the worst thing I've watched for Sequelcast 2 and Friends since Highlander: The Source. Stars Robbie Rist and Richard Gant of The Brady Bunch and Jason Goes To Hell fame, respectively.
