Ladies, gentleman and gentle-monsters, this week we are joined again by show favorite Jon Cross from the After Movie Diner podcast. And this week Jon is here to help us pitch a new monster movie to the Syfy Channel.

Monstergeddon WI

We all start crowd sourcing ideas for monsters, locations and C-List celebrity cast for our monster movie and what we come up with by the end is one of the most amazing monster movies ever conceived of by man. 400 years from now bands will sing songs about our pitch. It’s that good. So hop on the blue steampunk Harley named Babe and check out the latest episode of Nerd Lunch. You’ll be glad that you did.

Nerd Lunch Episode 161 – Expendables of Other Genres 3

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, pop culture on December 30, 2014 by Paxton

This is the last episode of Nerd Lunch for 2014. So enjoy this, bitches. We have no guest, it’s a three way dance in which CT, Jeeg and I discuss teacher movies.

More specifically, we form a super team of actors who have portrayed teachers in movies. Expect typical mentions of stuff like Stand & Deliver, Dangerous Minds and a few other surprises.

After we milk the teacher movie genre for every last drop of awesome, we then turn our gazes towards forming a team of actors that have portrayed sports players. Of course Kevin Costner gets mentioned but listen in to see who else we pull out of our asses to add to our super team of sports players.

Nerd Lunch Episodes featuring Muppets and Comic Book Shops

Posted in comic books, podcast, pop culture with tags Cavalcade Comics, comic books, Nerd Lunch Podcast, pop culture on December 16, 2014 by Paxton

I’ve been lax in my Nerd Lunch promoting duties. Sorry about that. So, here’s a two-fer for you. The last two episodes of the Nerd Lunch Podcast were pretty great.

In Episode 158 we were joined by Geeky Kay and we talked about Muppet Christmas specials.

More specifically we discuss one of Jim Henson’s last specials, Muppet Family Christmas, and the very first post-Henson project, Muppet Christmas Carol. Lots of great Muppet discussion.

This week, on the very brand new, Mylar bagged and boarded episode 159 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast we are joined by Shawn Robare and Evan Hanson to talk about our comic book shop memories.

Spider-Man 1 Platinum Edition

All of us grew up frequenting the dirty, grungy comic book shops of the 80s and 90s. We discuss our own local comic shops and our memories of the clientele, the bargain bins and the over priced retailer exclusive comics stored in the glass cases (looking at you Spider-Man #1 Platinum Edition). So download both of these fun episodes of the podcast and then sell them back to a dealer for half what you paid. Then you’ll know what it was like to have shopped for comics in the 80s.

Nerd Lunch Halloween Extra Helping: KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978)

Posted in 80s, movies, music, nostalgia, podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast on October 31, 2014 by Paxton

I have an extra special Halloween treat for you. Jeeg and I recorded a Special Helping of Nerd Lunch for this spooky day and we recruited Jay, a Lieutenant in the KISS Army to talk about the legendary 1978 KISS movie, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (aka Attack of the Phantoms).

We spend time talking about our history with this movie as well as some of the awesome 70s-ness of the clothes and dialogue and how incredibly stupid-awesome KISS comes across in the movie. There are like 5 or 6 musical interludes and some awesomely crazy-weird concert footage featuring Peter Criss playing air guitar on carnival rides and Paul Stanley walking on laser beams. And expect to see KISS vs Frankenstein at one point. Seriously. This movie is BONKERS.
