For this episode of Nerd Lunch CT and I are still missing our comrade-in-arms Jeeg as he moves all of his junk North for a new job. To replace Jeeg, we brought back Rob Graham and we take this opportunity to talk about one of the more maligned Star Trek franchises, Voyager.

We start with a ground level reconstruction of the concept of the show and we talk about the things in the show that worked, and the many plethora of things that did not work. We recast many of the roles and play around with the concept of Star Trek: Lost in Space. I honestly think we made it better.

This week we are joined by Kirk Howle from Schlock Treatment who follows his podcast colleague Doug from last week. Unfortunately, Jeeg was not able to join us so we called in 4th chair regular Shawn Robare to fill in. The topic this week is failed movie toy lines.

We talk about a few movie toy lines that work and why we think they work. We then parlay that into some movie toy lines that failed and why we think they failed. Movie toys we discuss involve Star Wars, The Lone Ranger, The Shadow, Dick Tracy and several more you probably didn’t even realize existed.

Get your fix for both movie and toy nostalgia with this week’s episode and download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

Nerd Lunch Episode 67: Nerdstradamus 2013

Posted in podcast, pop culture with tags fast food, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, Nerdstradamus, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, soda, television on January 8, 2013 by Paxton

I predict that you will listen to the 67th episode of the Nerd Lunch podcast and nearly crap yourself when you hear us talk about pop culture predictions. That’s right, in this episode, for the new year, we are making predictions. Predictions about movies, TV shows, fast food and soda. We even try to predict who’s going to die.

Nostradamus

To help us with these predictions we are joined again by Doug Frye from the Schlock Treatment podcast. So download the episode to your listening device and hear us make completely unfounded predictions about pop culture. And fully expect that at the end of 2013, we will revisit this topic to see how we did. Right now, I can tell you that one of my predictions is already untrue. That’s just how this whole game is played.
