Premise

Jakob Stegelmann reviews nerdy things, together with his team of nerds, consisting of Troels Møller, Ida Rud, Regitze Heiberg, Christopher Leo, and Benjamin Stegelmann. Formerly Jacob Ege Hinchely was a member, but he moved on with his career.

Reception

The series have been widely positive acclaimed for its contributions to pop culture in Denmark, and for being the first Danish critic entertainment program.

In 2006 Stegelmann received a new prize called the Nordic Game Prize, and was promised that the prize should be named after him from that day on, because of his "contribution to the coverage of computer games on Danish national television and his understanding of the relevance of the phenomenon of games to the entertainment culture", referring to Troldspejlet, the film magazine Planet X, and his many books about films, video games, and comics.
