Simon Pegg and his pals Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are not only fabulous and hilarious filmmakers: they represent the ethos of the geek, and are therefore tremendously important cultural figures. In 2004, these Brits half-stumbled-half-exploded onto the film scene with their zombie parody Shaun of the Dead and it was met with nearly universal praise. Since then, Pegg has made several more genre parodies: Hot Fuzz, Paul, and The World’s End (he even played Scotty in the recent Star Trek reboot), giving him perhaps the strongest claim to the throne of the geek kingdom.
