Nerd Lunch Episode 62: More Fan Fic Reviews

Posted in movies, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture on November 20, 2012 by Paxton

Welcome to episode 62 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast. This week we are joined again by Kristin Reily from the Geek Girls Network. This week, we are returning to one of my favorite topics; Fan Fiction.

We all pick a story from the Movies category over at FanFiction.net and we all discuss how awesome our stories are. If you plan on following along, prepare yourself to be overwhelmed. There are an unbelievable amount of properties to choose from. For instance there are greater than 17,000 stories based on High School Musical alone. I know. Star Wars has nearly 30,000 stories. It’s insane. Also, you need to look out for what they call “slash” fiction. Trust me on that one.

Download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner. Not that I actually care anymore, but I think we are still on the Zune Marketplace. If it still exists.

We have finally reached episode 60. And to celebrate, CT, Jeeg and I participate in a “3-way dance”. And what are we doing this week? To celebrate Election Day, we are voting in our favorite fictional characters into the American Government.

So we go through and pick our choices for President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, several Cabinet positions and Supreme Court Justices. Expect to hear the likes of Jack Ryan, RoboCop, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Vincent “Vinny” Gambini. We totally remake the government into a collection of bad ass mo-fos. You simply must check it out.

Nerd Lunch Episode 54: Give it a Chance 2: Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Posted in books, monsters, podcast, TV shows, vampires with tags books, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, TV shows, vampires on September 25, 2012 by Paxton

We have arrived at Episode 54 of the podcast. This week we return to a previous topic called Give It A Chance. We first did this topic back in Episode 24 in which we gave anime a chance and we had Shawn Robare as our guide. This week Jen Usellis (Episode 11) returns to the fourth chair to guide the three of us geeky guys through the world of Sookie Stackhouse. That’s right, the three of us read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, the first Southern Vampire Mystery and the genesis of the TV show True Blood.

Jen guides us through the gothic horror romance genre and teaches us all a thing or two about why this series is so popular. We mostly discuss the book, but there is a part at the end in which we discuss the first few episodes of the TV show starring Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse.

We learn this week that two of the three of us have watched the show and that two of the three of us hate the vampire called “Bubba” in the novel. We also learn that vampire Bill has a stupid name and is a “black hole of charisma”.

Lots to learn, lots to hear in this episode. Download it from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

Nerd Lunch Episode 53: Drilldown on the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy

Posted in Batman, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags Batman, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture on September 18, 2012 by Paxton

Welcome to episode 53. This week we are joined by Christian from the Atomic Geeks podcast. Christian is here to discuss the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy now that it is all done and finished.

(Via itno.co.uk)

Since we are discussing this trilogy, Jeeg had to bow out since he has not seen the last movie. And believe me, that was a wise decision because we spoil the HELL out of this trilogy. So if you haven’t seen any of these movies, don’t listen because we don’t hold back. And Christian makes sure to say SPOILER ALERT after he says his spoiler. So, caveat emptor.
