Nerd Lunch Episode 25: Celebrating 25 Episodes by Redoing Smallville

Posted in comic books, Superman, TV shows with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, TV shows on February 21, 2012 by Paxton

This is it. We have reached our 25th episode. Thanks to all of the fans that listen who made this happen. So, how do we celebrate our 25th episode? We invited one of the members of the Atomic Geeks, our sister podcast, to join us. In the fourth chair for this rodeo is Michael Digiovanni. And our topic this week? We steal a franchise topic from the Geeks. Yes, this week, we do a Redo.

Smallville

And we are redoing the WB/CW show Smallville. It’s an interesting discussion because three of us are comic book guys and one of us isn’t. Plus, for the most part, we are all divided on how we feel about the show as a whole. So listen to us take apart this show and examine what was done right, what was done wrong and how the four of us would have fixed it and made it better.

Nerd Lunch Episode 24: Giving anime a chance…

Posted in cartoons, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags cartoons, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture on February 15, 2012 by Paxton

We’ve had to move our podcast to a different host server because we keep bumping against our bandwidth caps. You may have noticed since the last few episodes would throw up a “Nerd Lunch is too popular” page when you tried to download. Apparently we are pretty awesome. So I hear. Anyway, we’ve moved to a newer host with higher bandwidth caps, but due to the upload restrictions, we can’t put all of our past episodes up at once. So we’ll be adding several older episodes a month along with our new episode uploads. It’ll take a few months to re-populate the archives, but we are working on it. Thanks for liking us enough to make us have to do this.

Anyway, Nerd Lunch episode 24 is now LIVE for your enjoyment. This week the rotating fourth chair is occupied by a regular guest, Shawn Robare from Branded in the 80s. Shawn is an anime aficionado and since none of the Nerd Lunch hosts have ever really enjoyed anime, we thought Shawn would be the perfect guide as we force ourselves to “Give it a Try”.

And the anime movie Shawn picked for us to talk about is Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. So come join us as Shawn, CT, Jeeg and I dive head first into the strange and often nonsensical world of anime.

Nerd Lunch Episode 23: Time Travel in pop culture

Welcome to Nerd Lunch Episode 23. This week, the three of us fly solo without a fourth chair. And the topic is time travel in pop culture.

Time Travel

And because this is one of my favorite topics, I get to host the show. Now, if you are joining us after listening to our promo on last week’s Atomic Geeks podcast, then you are scratching your head wondering why we aren’t discussing the movie Spirited Away with frequent contributor, Shawn Robare. Well, Shawn had some last minute computer issues so we literally do this episode without any preparation. Combine that with my hosting abilities, and you have one of the most oddly fascinating podcasts we’ve done. Seriously, you won’t ever want me to host again. So, ENJOY!

Nerd Lunch Episode 22: Creating our own team of Expendables

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture on February 1, 2012 by Paxton

This week, the Nerd Lunch crew welcomes Aaron Nix to the fourth chair. In this episode we are all tasked with creating a team of Expendables.

Western Expendables

However, unlike the movie, we aren’t creating a super team of action heroes, we are creating a super team of Western stars and a super team of Romantic Comedy stars. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it’s podcasting gold. Yes, we’ve done it AGAIN.

To your ears: You’re welcome.

Nerd Lunch Episode 21: Comic Book Scenarios

Posted in comic books, podcast with tags comic books, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts on January 25, 2012 by Paxton

Episode 21 has gone LIVE, my friends. This week we are down a man as Jeeg has flown off to Europe to find himself. In the meantime, we invited Vanessa and Erika from Girls Gone Geek to join us for a lively discussion about comic books.

Specifically we are talking about comic book scenarios. What sidekick would we like to have? What would we do if we ever got super powers? What character would we kill and make sure stays dead? These are the nerdy questions we ask ourselves and sometimes answer with very little geeky rambling. Well, some rambling.
