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.

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?

Nerd Lunch Episode 81: Replace Me

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Episode 81 of the Nerd Lunch podcast features the return of one of my favorite guests, Kristin Rielly of Reilly Geek fame. She joins us to discuss replacements for ourselves.

Replace Me

Carlin gives us several social situations and we are supposed to choose a real person, a fictional person or a Muppet to replace us. What Muppets will show up at an office Christmas party? What deceased former Presidents will attend family reunions and/or a 5 year old’s birthday party? And yes, we have to deal with the repercussions of our decisions. Nerd To Dos involve Superman IV, Downton Abbey and selling off comics.

Nerd Lunch Episode 79: Drilldown on Firefly

Posted in Firefly, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags , , , , on April 2, 2013 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Only 21 episodes to go before we hit the big 100. This week we are joined again by the always awesome Mark Dury, the unofficial fifth Atomic Geek.  We brought Mark in to finally discuss a subject that I am frankly shocked we haven’t really discussed yet.  We get nerdy and drill down on one of the Geek Sci-Fi Holy Grails, Joss Whedon’s Firefly.

Firefly blueprint

We talk about our own experiences with the show. We see if any of us saw the very short Fox run or if we saw the movie. We even discuss if we would like to see Firefly return in some form or another. It’s all pretty geeky. Come check it out.
