Nerd Lunch Episode 20: Movie Sequels

Posted in movies, podcast, sequels with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture, sequels on January 19, 2012 by Paxton

Episode 20 is now available to the legions of Nerd Lunchketeers. This week we are joined again by a fellow Jacksonvillian Robert Zerbe of To The Escape Hatch. This week we discuss the always relevant topic of movie sequels.

I’ve discussed the subject of movie sequels before, but this is a more in depth investigation. A drill down, if you will.

We talk about sequels we feel work, sequels we feel don’t work, sequels we wish had never existed and we even discuss movies that never got sequels but we wish had. It’s a lively discussion that I think you’ll enjoy. So join us, won’t you?

Episode 19 is out for those following along. This week we are again joined by Shawn Robare from Branded in the 80s. this week the guys and I discuss a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Soda.

New Coke Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper

Pepsi Ice Cucumber

As you know, I talk about soda A LOT on this blog. I’m a big soda enthusiast so this is a fun episode for me. We don’t touch on the big topics like New Coke or Crystal Pepsi in any type of depth, but we do mention them. Honestly, discussing those two soda disasters could take an entire episode on its own. But we discuss many other sodas. We talk about our personal favorites, some favorites that have been cancelled as well as a nice discussion on the availability of Coke and Pepsi (or non-availability) in restaurants.

Nerd Lunch Episodes 17 & 18: Busting a list and reading some fan fiction

Posted in 24, Jack Bauer, movies, podcast, TV shows with tags jack bauer, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, television, TV shows on January 3, 2012 by Paxton

So, I was taking a break over the holidays, but the podcast doesn’t. So while I was out, we had two episodes go live.

Listbusters

Episode 17 went live the week of Christmas. In that episode the three of us fly without a fourth chair and decide to bust a top 25 list from IGN featuring the Top 25 Sci-Fi movies of all time. The list is pretty good, but the top 2 spots are shocking. And this episode is an extra LOOOONG version as it clocks in around 1.5 hours due to the number of movies we begin discussing. Come see what Sci-Fi classics the three of us can’t stand.

Torchwood LA

Going live this week is Episode 18. In that episode we are joined again by Jay from SexyArmpit.com. In this episode we all point our browsers towards FanFiction.net to feast our hungry eyeballs on the awesome buffet that can be found there. We all pick a fan fiction story about a favorite TV property, read it, and review it for the rest of the group. It’s a lot of fun. Check it out to see who wears the pants in the Horde and if Jack Bauer accepts an invitation to join Torchwood.

Posted in podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture, TV shows on December 14, 2011 by Paxton

Our newest podcast is live. Actually, this episode went live yesterday, but apparently we are so damn popular that we broke the Internet.

Check it out:

Nerd Lunch is too damn popular

Pretty awesome, right? That it is. Our bandwidth should be reset by now and the podcast again ready for download.

Anyway, this week’s episode is called Brilliant but Cancelled. We are again joined by Fitz who previously joined us for Episode 8: Nerd Decor. We are discussing TV shows we loved that were cancelled too early. A lot of good TV is mentioned, many of which you can catch on Netflix streaming. Come join us.

Download it from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner. We are also in the Zune Marketplace.

Nerd Lunch Episode 13: Cartoon Crushes

Posted in cartoons, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags cartoon, cartoons, comic books, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, TV shows, video games on November 28, 2011 by Paxton

Unlucky episode 13. This will probably end up being “creepy” episode 13. Our topic this week is to discuss our cartoon crushes. Yes we talk about cartoon people that we find attractive. And to up the creepiness factor, we categorize them into categories like “Dream Date”, “The One That Got Away”, “Bad Girl”, etc etc. So not only do we actually have to think about our crushes and put a label on them, most of the cartoon crushes we talk about are supposed to be, well, a little younger than us. So yeah, we toe the line of being awesome and getting a visit from Chris Hansen.

In a move designed to make this episode seem less creepy and lecherous, we are joined by Kristin from the Geek Girls Network. You are going to love her, she’s hilarious. And yes, we actually talk about half human half turtle babies. We go there. And Kristin is the one to bring it up. I am so in love with this episode.

Anyway, download this episode from iTunes, Zune Marketplace or listen to it on Feedburner.

Again, this is a very visual topic (like the Nerd Decor episode) so I thought I’d give you guys a visual reference to some of my cartoon crushes. These are in no particular order, listen to the podcast to see what category in which I put these lovely ladies.
