Nerd Lunch Podcast

Episode 66 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast has stuffed itself down your chimney and is sitting in your stocking. Waiting.

This week we are joined by Mr Michael Digiovanni from The Atomic Geeks for a discussion about Christimas Specials.  Except we aren’t going to actually discuss the specials themselves, we are going to take our favorite characters from our favorite specials and start creating our own Nerd Lunch Christmas special.

We each pick a hero, a villain, some henchman, a narrator and a specific plot device (MacGuffin). Then we all talk about and pick the ones we like best and “Frankenstein” those ideas up into our very own Christmas special.  And it turns out pretty f**king awesome.  Give it a listen and see if you don’t agree.

Nerd Lunch Episode 65: The Trial of Tim Burton

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags , , , , on December 11, 2012 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

This week, we are joined by Mr Matt Ringler of the Schlock Treatment podcast (when he decides to show up). For our topic, we return to do one of our trial episodes which we did previously in episode 15. We put Michael Bay on trial in that episode, this time, we are prosecuting Mr Tim Burton.

Tim Burton

I play the star witness as well as the bailiff, CT is the judge, Matt is the prosecutor and Jeeg is the defender. We talk about Burton’s body of work, we talk about what works, what doesn’t. Essentially we are deciding if Burton should be put away for good for crimes against the movie-going people. Are Batman and Ed Wood enough to keep him out of jail? Are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Planet of the Apes going to drag him down like an anchor around the neck? Tune in to find out.

The podcast will be monthly and feature the three of us talking about weird, obscure cult movies from the 60s, 70s and beyond.  We’ll talk about the stars, the sets, the soundtracks and whether or not the movie deserves the title of “Cult Classic”.  We have a great lineup of movies we can’t wait to watch and talk about with you.

Our very first episode will go live on Wednesday.  If you want to hear what movie we’ll be talking about in that episode, take a listen to tomorrow’s all new, Ninja Day episode of the Nerd Lunch Podcast.

Welcome to Episode 61 of the Nerd Lunch podcast. This week we have Jeremy from Geek Chunks returning to the fourth chair as we all ready for battle in the TAG Super Fight Dome.

TAG versus

In the Super Fight Dome, we are given categories and we each pick a combatant with which to do battle.  Expect the categories of Celebrity Chefs, Sitcom Dads and Giant Robots, plus several others.  It’s a brawl and a free for all, so tune in to see who wins.

Download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner. And I’m no longer really sure, but I think we are still on the Zune Marketplace.

Or, listen to it immediately right here.
