Welcome to episode 89. This week we are again joined by Claymation Werewolf. Last time with CW we talked about 80s sitcoms (Episode 63). This week we are talking about Saturday Morning Cartoons.

(Thanks, Shawn)

We talk about any Saturday morning rituals, we talk about some of our favorite shows and some of our least favorite shows. And yes, I bring up the Teen Wolf cartoon because I haven’t talked about it enough.

Nerd Lunch Episode 88: Listbuster 2.0 (Part 3, whatever)

Posted in movies, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcasts, pop culture on June 4, 2013 by Paxton

The Listbuster topic is a topic that is beloved amongst the Nerd Lunch hosts. However, we never seem to be able to make it work. The first time we did it in Episode 17 it was a little unwieldy as we chose to do a list of 25. The second time we did Listbuster we paired it down to a smaller list, however none of us were happy with the outcome and we haven’t posted it yet. So, needless to say, while we love the idea of the Listbuster, we haven’t actually made it work yet.

Enter Listbuster 2.0. We changed the format a little bit. We chose a list that has 25 items, but we are only doing the top 10. And this will be the first time we actually do this with a guest. Jon Cross from the After Movie Diner and the Dr Action and the Kick Ass Kid podcasts joins us for the second time this week.

Listbusters

This week’s list is from the top 10 spots on IGN’s list of top 25 action movies of all time. We first have the discussion about what we feel is an action movie and what isn’t. Then we discuss the top 10 spots and we each decide whether the movies should be on the list or off and offer other suggestions if we remove any. Then we all discuss our own personal top 10 action movies. These are personal lists so we get a very eclectic selection of movies. You’re gonna like it.

Welcome to episode 85. As in 1985…..I take over the reins as host this week and we invite back our good friend Rondal from Strange Kids Club to talk about time travel. Specifically, I am giving the guys scenarios involving time travel and they have to tell me what they’d do.

We talk about our favorite time machines. We talk about what movies we’d go back to see in the theater. What fast food items that are no longer available we’d go back to eat. Who would we like to meet from the past? And what national tragedy we’d try to avert. And yes, there are numerous references to Back to the Future and Dr Who.

It’s a fun discussion. Come join us.
