Raiders of the Lost Ark – Dude, that one part in Raiders where the tentacle crawled through the human skull with saber-tooth fangs totally terrified me when I was a kid. Remember that? No? Was that just me?

Nerd Lunch Episode 134: Batman 75 Retrospective

Posted in Batman, comic books, movies, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags Batman, comic books, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcasts, pop culture, TV shows on June 4, 2014 by Paxton

For episode 134 of Nerd Lunch we invite not one, but TWO guests to join us. Our good friend Jay from The Sexy Armpit and Michael May from Michael May’s Adventureblog join us for a very special topic: Batman. This year is Batman’s 75th anniversary and we are here to look at Batman across all media much like we did with Superman last summer for episode 90.

We talk about our first encounters with Batman, some of our first merchandise and then we delve into the comics followed by lots of movie talk. It’s an info packed episode that ran so long I had to cancel Nerd-to-Dos. But it’s a fun episode with lots of awesome information and a spiffy new Batman-y podcast intro that I think you’ll like.

Cult Film Club Episode 15: The Shadow (1994)

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags Cult Film Club, movies, podcast, pop culture, The Shadow on May 27, 2014 by Paxton

This month’s movie is what the Cult Film Club was founded on. When I was first talking with Shawn and Jaime about doing the podcast, this movie was first and foremost in my mind. I knew that eventually, we would get to talk about this movie. And that movie is Russell Mulcahy’s The Shadow starring Alec Baldwin, John Lone, Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Curry and Ian McKellan.

The three of us dive into our first experiences with the movie (2 of the 3 of us saw it in the theater), we talk about our relationship to the movie and what we now think of it as time has passed. Lots of talk about the origins of the movie, the Shadow character as well as some talk of the movie toys.

Posted in cartoons, Knight Rider, music, podcast, pop culture, TV, TV shows with tags movies, music, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcasts, pop culture on May 6, 2014 by Paxton

This week the nerds and I are joined by our good friend, and pop culture encyclopedia, William Bruce West. William joins us to discuss a very favorite topic of ours, TV theme songs.

We are given categories; cartoons, action, sitcom, drama and opening narration and we all pick 2 or 3 of our favorites in each. Several of us wind up singing the songs for you. And yes, we do discuss our least favorites. But don’t worry, we leave plenty in reserve for our future SECOND Favorite TV Theme Songs episode. And this may be our audio clip-iest episode since that board games episode we did with all the commercials.
