Nerd Lunch Episode 83: Creating movie themed restaurant menus

Nerd Lunch Podcast

For this, our 83rd episode, we are joined again by Steve from the Food Junk blog to discuss movies and fast food menus.

Yes, with the release earlier this year of Denny’s Hobbit Menu, we were inspired to take matters into our own hands and imagine what would happen if other restaurants took the same marketing approach and created specialized menus for movies. Imagine Red Lobster creating a menu for a serial killer. What would a Buckaroo Banzai menu look like at a place known mostly for desserts? And would you eat at Olive Garden regardless of the movie it created a menu for?

All these things and more are answered in this week’s Nerd Lunch Podcast.

Cult Film Club

Welcome to episode 6 of the Cult Film Club.  This week Shawn, Jaime and I watch and discuss the teen sex comedy Zapped! starring the future Charles in Charge leads, Scott Baio and Willie Aames. The movie also features the lovely Heather Thomas, Felice Schachter and a slew of other familiar 80s faces like Scatman Crothers, Eddie Deezen and the worst looking Mr Spock you’ve ever seen.

We talk about our history with the movie. We talk about the movie’s origins. We talk about the nature of homage and parody. We also discuss telekinetic rape. Because, well, we haven’t done that in a show yet.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

You have arrived at Episode 82 of the Nerd Lunch podcast. Unfortunately, Jeeg went on a bender the other night and is sleeping it off so we are joined by two guests. The first is my co-host from the Cult Film Club podcast, Jaime Hood. Also in the guest seat is the return of our good friend, William Bruce West.

Urkel

This week the four of us discuss sitcoms from the 1990s.  We talk about our favorites, our not so favorites, some of the ones we thought were overrated and some of the ones we thought were canceled too soon.  Surprisingly there are a couple shows that show up on all of those lists.  It’s a fun time talking about TV shows from the 90s, so join us, won’t you?

Jaime, Shawn and I hope you have been enjoying our new podcast.  It’s a lot of fun for us and we really have received a lot of nice feedback concerning the show.  We love all of your comments and movie suggestions.  Thank you so much for your support.

Speaking of support, Shawn has put together some of the artwork he’s done for the show and made stickers out of them. Check ’em out!

CFC stickers

Each sticker pack contains 4 die-cut stickers measuring 2.4″x2.4″ and 3.4″x2.4″, featuring the CFC Logo, Official Membership Badge, our mascot the Phantom Ticket Taker, and the one, the only Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi)!

These sticker packs have been put out there and are ready for you to purchase to help support us, your favorite podcast of all time (alongside Nerd Lunch of course).  It’s our way of honoring Mr Pink’s “no tipping” policy by offering you the chance to not tip us and still support us for bringing you some awesome content.  Plus, you know, STICKERS!!!

FYI, if you decide to order these bad boys, hop on over to Branded in the 80s and let Shawn know you ordered the sticker packs and, if you ask nicely, I’m sure he’ll include that awesome Branded in the 80s sticker you see in the upper right of the first picture.

Again, Jaime, Shawn and I thank you guys for all of your support.
