Nerd Lunch Episode 12: NerdHF

Episode 12 of the Nerd Lunch podcast has come on the air. This week it is only us, the three musketeers; CT, Jeeg and me without the safety net of a more interesting guest. Yes, you get to listen to just the three of us discuss owning our own television station. Imagine 24 hours of non-stop cartoons, game shows and Buffy/Angel reruns. My personal TV station is called CavalcadeTV. Jeeg suggested the mascot below. I came up with the slogan.

Not surprisingly all of us at some point decide to broadcast at least one Star Trek episode during our broadcast day. Most of the time, on multiple days. And yes, the Teen Wolf cartoon makes it into my lineup.

Plus, this episode, we introduce a new closer for the show. Say goodbye to the closing mono-blog, this week we start the “Nerd To-Do List”.

Download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner. And yes, we are still on the Zune Marketplace.

Nerd Lunch Episode 11: A Klingon Christmas Carol

Episode 11 of the Nerd Lunch podcast has entered the Hall of Heroes. This week we are joined by Jen Usellis Mackay, a cast member of the Klingon Christmas Carol theater production currently running in Chicago. It’s essentially a reworking of Dickens’ classic but making it more Klingon-y (and AWESOME). Oh yeah, it’s also spoken entirely in Klingon.

(Via startrekpapercraft.blogspot.com)

We spend the first part of the podcast talking with Jen about performing the show entirely in Klingon. We learn a bit about the preparations for learning the language and she gives us a little lesson. We then talk about all our favorite Klingon things like characters, weapons, Star Trek episodes, etc. It’s a Klingon good time. So check it out.

And we also finally made it onto the Zune Marketplace (Glory to Kahless!).

Nerd Lunch Episode 10: By the Power of Grayskull…

Posted in nostalgia, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture, toys, TV shows on November 8, 2011 by Paxton

Episode 10 of the Nerd Lunch podcast is live, my friends. This week we not only celebrate our foray into double digits, we welcome our first returning guest. Shawn Robare from Branded in the 80s joins us again to wax nostalgic. And what are we waxing nostalgic about? This week we are talking about vintage He-Man toys.

We talk about our favorite figures, what we thought were some of the worst figures, the figures we owned and the figures we wish we had owned. We talk about the effectiveness of “battle damaged” armor, the inexplicable origins of Zodac and learn one of us won a break dancing contest at a Showbiz Pizza (it ties in, sort of). Hope you are ready for an 80s good time.

Nerd Lunch Episode #9: The Replicators are Broken

Posted in Back to the Future, movies, podcast, pop culture, Star Trek, Star Wars with tags Back to the Future, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, Star Wars on November 1, 2011 by Paxton

There is a new episode of the Nerd Lunch podcast available for your immense enjoyment. You’re welcome, Internet.

This week we are joined by Jay from The Sexy Armpit the awesome pop culture blog about all things New Jersey.

Our subject? We are all traveling into space in Jay’s spaceship. We are sucked into a wormhole and when we come out the other side, we are trapped in an unknown part of space, and all of our equipment is broken. Jeeg is able to fix the food replicators but he can only get it to replicate 10 food/drink items. Amongst the four of us, we have to agree on those 10 food and drink items that we want the replicator to reproduce.

It’s a whirlwind of filibustering to get all of our favorite items in there. At one point we find out the same guy that doesn’t like Halloween also hates Cheetos. And I have to wonder what kind of childhood did this person have that led to a dislike of Halloween and Cheetos? And how is this person not a serial killer. Am I right?

Anyway, come check out the craziness of Episode 9 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast. Download it from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

UPDATE:

We actually talked about my Skype profile pic in this episode. For those listening, this is what it looks like.

Like I said, this picture is a normal Saturday for me.

Well, Episode 5 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast is up! This week we are joined by a good friend of this blog, Rondal Scott from Strange Kids Club.

Hope you come prepared with IMDB in hand because I guarantee you will need it when listening to this episode.
