About this episode

Dre Alvarez and Jeff May discuss the cultural significance of the film 'Twins' in the final episode of their MYSTERY season.

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff finish their MYSTERY season with a classic comedy whose title is ALSO the answer to our mystery season: Every episode had to do with Twins! There's a lot to unpack about one of cinema's accidentally most important significant films, so let's be fathered by 6 dudes (and Heather Graham?), add a murder thread into our family comedy, and shift how the entirety of Hollywood does business, as we dive into the final episode of our TWINS SEASON. And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!
