Ep8 Chess Doesn't Make You Smart

from The Shit Cast · host Rick and Gray

Gray is taking the lead on this episode, and we're talking about the depictions of chess in cinema and fiction. And how it's almost portrayed incorrectly. Being good at chess only says one thing about someone, that they're good at chess. But time and again, writers and directors strive to use a game they depict incorrectly as a signifier for intelligence or strategic acumen, and we've had enough.
