Nerd Lunch Podcast

Episode 108 of the Nerd Lunch podcast is now live. Jeeg and I couldn’t make it but Aaron Nix, Michael May and Andrew Bloom show up to put M Night Shamalayan on trial for crimes against moviegoers.

Bloom is the judge, CT is the prosecution, Aaron Nix is the defense and Michael May is the expert witness.  Listen to everyone put M Night on trial.  Hear Bloom fall asleep during the podcast.  Hear CT passionately speak out against M Night’s movies.  Hear Aaron Nix speak lovingly and at great length about this director whom he clearly has a giant man crush on.  It’s a great episode, and honestly, I think the best of the three trials we’ve done.  Give it a shot.

Also, in case you missed it, CT and I were invited to join Jon Cross over at his podcast at The After Movie Diner. Jeeg couldn’t make it due to some rift in the time-space continuum, but CT and I roll up in our modified DMC-12 to discuss the entire Back to the Future trilogy.

Nerd Lunch vs After Movie Diner

It’s not exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a solid hour and a half of three movie geeks talking about their remembrances of one of their favorite movie trilogies of all time.

Nerd Lunch Episode 107: Movie Prequels

Nerd Lunch Podcast

I don’t think I mentioned this last week, but I hosted episode 107 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast which went live LAST Tuesday. I’m still in vacation mode after my month long AWESOME-tober-fest this year.

We were joined by Shawn Robare from Branded in the 80s and we all discussed the idea of movie prequels.

Movie Prequels

We discuss our thoughts on prequels, which prequels we think worked and which didn’t we even pitch ideas for movie prequels we’d like to see someday. Nerd to Dos include Witches of Eastwick, Funko figures, Bond movies and M Night Shamalayan.

Tomorrow’s new episode won’t feature me or Jeeg at all.  We both had to drop out for various reasons, so CT is going it alone with several guest stars.  It should be an interesting one.

Nerd Lunch Episode 106: More Real Life Scenarios

Nerd Lunch Podcast

This week we are joined by Mr Strange Kid himself, Rondal Scott from Strange Kids Club. The topic this week is hosted by Jeeg and he is presenting the encore of Real Life Scenarios which we did first back in Episode 78.

Time Travel

We discuss our thoughts on things like which real life news reporter is actually the son of Krypton, which real life scientist would create a time machine out of a Delorean and which real life astronaut found and married a genie in a bottle.  We all discuss our picks to these questions and several more inciting some interesting conversation.

Cult Film Club Episode 10: Miami Connection (1987)

Posted in 80s, movies, nostalgia, podcast, pop culture with tags , , , , , on September 4, 2013 by Paxton

Cult Film Club

So not only did Nerd Lunch hit triple digits last week, now Cult Film Club is hitting double digits.  Welcome to Episode 10 in which we discuss the independent movie sensation of the year, Miami Connection.

Miami Connection

Released to very little fanfare in Orlando (and Germany?!) back in 1987, the film was found on eBay last year and bought by Drafthouse Films for $50.  Now it’s getting worldwide theater and home video releases with the actors reunited for special fan events like every damn week.  It’s nuts how popular this movie has become.  So, being that we are Cult Film Club, we felt it was our duty to forgo our original movie pick for this month and check out this masterpiece of dramatic biker ninja action.  Do you like feathered hair, white ninjas, aligator earrings and orphans reuniting with their dads?  Then you’ve come to the right place.

Nerd Lunch Episode 100 lands on the Internet and breaks it in half

Nerd_Lunch_100

We’ve done it. We’ve reached triple digits. If you’d asked me back in Sep 2011 if I thought our little podcast would have made 100 episodes I would have laughed. IN YOUR FACE. Now who’s laughing? That’s right. YOU. The people.

And to celebrate this momentous occasion, the guys and I invite Nerd Lunch blog founding member PLee and Nerd Lunch Web Series co-host and podcast voice, Savannah, to join us this week.  This week we pluck all the Fourth Chair Carryover Questions from the last 50 episodes and we give our own answers.  I had forgotten how many awesome questions our guests had asked.  Find out who didn’t get to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons as a child, who dislikes Seth Rogen, who would run a Save the Clock Tower 5K and who has an unhealthy relationship with a cartoon called Foofur.

We had so much fun doing this we would love to do it again in 50 more episodes.  So see you next year on episode 150!!!

Officially, this is the end of what we call “Season 2” of the podcast.  We will be taking a hiatus for the next few weeks.  However, I think there may be some bonus content that will go up in the next week or so and we’ll be back making brand new episodes starting next month.  Thank you guys so much for listening.  We look forward to continuing the climb to episode 200 (assuming I don’t die first).
