I talk The Cabin in the Woods with the Atomic Geeks!

Posted in movies, podcast with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, reviews on May 24, 2012 by Paxton

I was asked by Christian Nielsen and Digio from The Atomic Geeks podcast to sit in on a discussion about Drew Goddard/Joss Whedon’s horror film, The Cabin in the Woods. That’s right, I’m on an Atomic Geeks Podcast Supplemental episode!

It’s really hard to have a conversation about this movie without spoiling the s**t out of it, so make sure you’ve seen the movie before listening to this podcast. You’ve been warned.

Listen to Digio, Christian and I spew gobs and gobs of hot, geeky love all over this movie. Yes, it’s amazing, but listen to the podcast to hear WHY it’s amazing.

Nerd Lunch Episode 38: TV Crossovers

Posted in podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, TV shows on May 22, 2012 by Paxton

This week we are joined by the awesome Thom from poobala.com. One of the truly great time wasting websites of all time. Poobala.com is the one-stop shop for TV crossovers. Thom has indexed ALL of them. Or it feels like all of them. Anyway, Thom joins us this week to talk about his bread and butter, TV crossovers.

We talk about all of our favorite crossovers, we talk about crossovers we’d like to see, we talk about crossovers we wish we had never seen. It’s a very ripe topic that could be discussed again. And we hopefully will do this again.

Behind the Scenes of the Nerd Lunch Podcast Avengers Extravaganza

Posted in podcast with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, The Avengers on May 18, 2012 by Paxton

In episode 36 of the Nerd Lunch podcast, CT traveled to Jacksonville to see the movie with me, then we recorded our part of the podcast in my dining room. Here are some behind the scenes shots of us recording the episode.

Showing our enthusiasm for The Avengers.

Dissecting the finer points of the movie, like Black Widow’s ass and Hulk smashing.

Laughing at the pathetic souls on the Internet that didn’t like The Avengers.

This is CT demonstrating what he’s going to do to anyone that tries to tell him The Avengers sucked.

That’s essentially a “peek behind the curtain” of the machine that is the Nerd Lunch Podcast.

Nerd Lunch Episode 37: Moving Right Along with the Muppet movies

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Muppets, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture on May 15, 2012 by Paxton

Episode 37 has gone live. This is the episode that was supposed to air last week. Everyone is back in their respective cities and we are happy to bring back Shawn Robare from Branded in the 80s. This week’s topic? MUPPETS.

(Via Ariel S Winter)

More specifically, we are talking about the first three Muppet movies; The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and Muppets Take Manhattan. We discuss our earliest memories of the Muppets, what nostalgia we have for these movies and we rank which ones are our favorites. We even talk briefly about how we feel about the non-Henson Muppet movies that would come after.

So move yourself right along to iTunes and download this most excellent episode. I promise you, it’s Boffo, Lenny. SOCKO, Lenny!!!

Nerd Lunch Episode 36: Marvel’s The Avengers Extravaganza

Posted in comic books, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags comic books, Marvel Comics, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, The Avengers on May 8, 2012 by Paxton

Episode 36 has gone live in what is probably the fastest turn around we’ve ever accomplished between recording, editing and posting. Much luv to CT for that. *pats chest with two fingers gangsta-style*

So anyway, I’m pretty sure we teased our Muppet episode this week, but with the smash success of The Avengers, we felt it was more appropriate to air this episode instead and air the Muppet episode with Shawn Robare next week. Sorry to bump you, Shawn, but…Avengers…am I right?

Avengers Forever by John Byrne (Via Comic Vine)

This is a very special “roadtrip” episode of Nerd Lunch. CT travels to Jacksonville to see The Avengers with me and Jeeg travels to southern Illinois to visit the mysterious “third” Nerd Lunch-er, PLee. CT and I record live in the Cavalcade headquarters and Jeeg and PLee record live on their end and the episode cuts back and forth between our conversations as we talk about our reactions to the movie and our thoughts on the entire Marvel movie franchise.

Did the movie live up to our VERY high expectations? Did the fact that Banner was Ruffalo instead of Norton bother us? Will we ever be the same? Download the episode and find out.
