Boy Genius: The Sitcom's Obsession With Special Little Boys
Need to get an A on your science project? How about reprogram your toaster? Do you need someone with a photographic memory to perform party tricks at your next mixer? Did you forget a calculator and need to multiply large sums stat? Do you need someone to perform surgery, land a plane, fix your car, and win Jeopardy for Kids? Have no fear, your local boy genius is here!
This week Jessica and Zach dive into the trope of the boy genius. By looking at Smart Guy, Malcolm in the Middle, and Young Sheldon this episode explores the gifts and struggles of living with a mini mega mind. Jessica and Zach review everything from the loneliness of the boy genius to the impact on the family to the socioeconomic elements at play. They also beg the question: Why are there so few girl geniuses?
