This review of Hulu’s 11.22.63 was originally recorded on April 26,2016. This was before Nerds from the Crypt was even a thought. My friend Jake Lionhart was hosting a weekly show called, Saturday Morning Nerds and told me his friend Nick was a fan of the show and listening to my weekly episode reviews.

I invited Nick to join me for the series review and we realized we liked the same type of series and movies. This was where the initial seeds of what would become the Nerds from the Crypt Podcast. This is our origin, our episode 0. The episode was lost when we originally moved podcast host to separate it from my other podcast. However, with the passing of Nick, I wanted to re-upload the lost episodes so we can all hear his voice a little bit more.

Jake Epping (James Franco), a recently divorced English teacher from Maine, is presented with the chance to travel back in time to Dallas, Texas, in 1960 by his longtime friend Al Templeton (Chris Cooper). He is convinced into going and attempts to prevent the assassination of JFK in November 1963. However, he becomes attached to the life he makes in the past and this could be his mission’s undoing.
