Episode 36 has gone live in what is probably the fastest turn around we’ve ever accomplished between recording, editing and posting. Much luv to CT for that. *pats chest with two fingers gangsta-style*

So anyway, I’m pretty sure we teased our Muppet episode this week, but with the smash success of The Avengers, we felt it was more appropriate to air this episode instead and air the Muppet episode with Shawn Robare next week. Sorry to bump you, Shawn, but…Avengers…am I right?


Avengers Forever by John Byrne (Via Comic Vine)

This is a very special “roadtrip” episode of Nerd Lunch. CT travels to Jacksonville to see The Avengers with me and Jeeg travels to southern Illinois to visit the mysterious “third” Nerd Lunch-er, PLee. CT and I record live in the Cavalcade headquarters and Jeeg and PLee record live on their end and the episode cuts back and forth between our conversations as we talk about our reactions to the movie and our thoughts on the entire Marvel movie franchise.

Did the movie live up to our VERY high expectations? Did the fact that Banner was Ruffalo instead of Norton bother us? Will we ever be the same?  Download the episode and find out.

We talk about actor meltdowns like Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin.  We also discuss movie trailers and movie promotions and if studios put too much information out there for big tent pole movies like The Avengers as well as some of our worst experiences in a theater due to disrespectful jack-holes.  It’s a lot of info plus CT’s return from his spirit walk.

Nerd Lunch Episode 32: Nerd Heritage

Nerd Lunch Podcast

We had a completely different show all ready to go this week, but the guest had to bow out at the last minute, so our friend Fitz fills in last second to help us out. The topic? Nerd Heritage.

Within the walls of this podcast we all discuss how we became nerds. We also talk about how we want to pass on our nerd legacies to our children (by ignoring wifely protests). It’s a fun topic that was sort of “gently inspired” by a topic the Atomic Geeks did for their episode 148 called Geek Dads.
