Send us a text This week we sat down with the joystick general himself — Kevin Fair, founder of I Play Games! — a Chi-town visionary who turned childhood couch gaming sessions into a nationwide movement. Since 2009, Kevin’s built more than just tournaments; he’s cultivated community, sparked travel, supported media platforms, and kept the controller in the hands of the people. We talk origin stories, the business of gaming, cultural ownership in digital spaces, and how Chicago breeds the next...

We’re decoding the early look at James Gunn’s Superman and the MCU’s Fantastic Four lineup straight from the 818 Universe.

S3 Ep 11 - Accountability and Integrity

Fly Nerd Group ·

2025/07/07

Send us a text After the ruthless smear campaign against Chicago’s own RiRi Williams, Fly Nerd Group is officially on the offensive. We’ve declared war on every racist podcaster, streamer, and algorithm chaser weaponizing their platforms to tear down Black brilliance. That’s the only battle. On the other frontline, after the senseless (and possibly conspiratory nature of the) gun violence over the past weekend, we raise the Fly Nerd banner in the name of accountability, integrity, and y...

Send us a text This episode, we tag in with steel chairs of truth — breaking down the ties between wrestling, hip-hop, and Chicago’s unshakable stance in a world full of frontin’ and forgetfulness. Too many folks out here not reppin’ the Go ILL brand right, or worse, ignoring the culture that birthed ‘em. But Fly Nerd Group is the Vanguard, and we stand ten toes down. No gimmicks. No co-signs. Just raw thought, ring talk, and real city pride. Tune in — we got smoke for the nonsense. We don’t ...

Fly Nerd Group ·

2025/06/09

Send us a text In this episode, we build on a simple truth: we need new myths. From yet another Ghostbusters reboot in NYC to the endless parade of space idiots fighting aliens, Hollywood keeps hitting copy-paste on the same templates. We dig into the power and necessity of original storytelling — not just remixed nostalgia, but fresh worlds, new heroes, and bold perspectives rooted in our creativity. Time to break the loop and write what’s never been written. WFNG - Where the Culture is Free

2025/05/26

Send us a text In Episode 8, the Fly Nerds pull up on two major releases: Final Destination: Bloodlines and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning. We dig into why Bloodlines feels like another recycled jump scare in the graveyard of horror reboots, and contrast it with the high-octane precision of Dead Reckoning, which might just be the crown jewel of the Mission franchise. From lazy frights to cinematic flight, we talk stakes, stunts, and why not all legacies are created equal. WFNG - Where t...

We break down the signals the world’s been sending loud and clear — from the deadly storms in St. Louis to Chicago’s first-ever dust storm warning, all the way to a powerful solar flare erupting from the sun. Each event is a warning shot: climate breakdown, environmental neglect, and cosmic disruption converging on a planet that’s out of balance. We deco...

Send us a text Spring lagged like a slow download, but it’s finally booted up — and Chicago’s running hot. This weekend, Fly Nerd Group hit the city on a vinyl hunt for Record Store Day, spinning through dusty crates and sonic treasures. Then we dipped over to C2E2, where comics, anime dreams, cosplay flexes, and toy hustles painted the scene crazy.

We compile joy from curiosity, stack overflow with passion, and debug reality with questions most folks are afraid to ask. Our brains stay in developer mode, customizing life with every new function we learn. We don’t just follow the code—we rewrite it. And sometimes, we data dump. WFNG - Where the Culture is Free
