My Year in Mensa Trailer
Gather your SAT scores and your rawest ego: My Year in Mensa follows comedian Jamie Loftus's year-long journey with the high-IQ organization, from taking the test as a joke to getting sucked into the Mensa deep web after writing a column called "Good News, They Let Dumb Sluts Into Mensa" (it's about her, promise), to three days in Phoenix at the Mensa Annual Gathering in the dead of July with two thousand angry Mensans. It'll be a look at her experience, the history of Mensa and whether there's any point in using the IQ test at all. All four episodes drop soon!
