Nerd Lunch Episode 106: More Real Life Scenarios

Posted in podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture on November 5, 2013 by Paxton

This week we are joined by Mr Strange Kid himself, Rondal Scott from Strange Kids Club. The topic this week is hosted by Jeeg and he is presenting the encore of Real Life Scenarios which we did first back in Episode 78.

We discuss our thoughts on things like which real life news reporter is actually the son of Krypton, which real life scientist would create a time machine out of a Delorean and which real life astronaut found and married a genie in a bottle. We all discuss our picks to these questions and several more inciting some interesting conversation.

Nerd Lunch Episode 100 lands on the Internet and breaks it in half

Posted in podcast, pop culture with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture on August 27, 2013 by Paxton

We’ve done it. We’ve reached triple digits. If you’d asked me back in Sep 2011 if I thought our little podcast would have made 100 episodes I would have laughed. IN YOUR FACE. Now who’s laughing? That’s right. YOU. The people.

And to celebrate this momentous occasion, the guys and I invite Nerd Lunch blog founding member PLee and Nerd Lunch Web Series co-host and podcast voice, Savannah, to join us this week. This week we pluck all the Fourth Chair Carryover Questions from the last 50 episodes and we give our own answers. I had forgotten how many awesome questions our guests had asked. Find out who didn’t get to watch Saturday Morning Cartoons as a child, who dislikes Seth Rogen, who would run a Save the Clock Tower 5K and who has an unhealthy relationship with a cartoon called Foofur.

We had so much fun doing this we would love to do it again in 50 more episodes. So see you next year on episode 150!!!

Officially, this is the end of what we call “Season 2” of the podcast. We will be taking a hiatus for the next few weeks. However, I think there may be some bonus content that will go up in the next week or so and we’ll be back making brand new episodes starting next month. Thank you guys so much for listening. We look forward to continuing the climb to episode 200 (assuming I don’t die first).

Cult Film Club vs Classic Film Jerks podcasts in the TAG Summer Crossover series

Posted in movies, podcast with tags Classic Film Jerks, Cult Film Club, movies, podcast on July 31, 2013 by Paxton

To finish out the TAG Podcasting Network Summer Crossover Series, the Cult Film Club and Classic Film Jerks podcasts teamed up like the Justice League of Podcasting to discuss some classic-y, cult-y films.

First, Jaime, Shawn and I traveled over to those Jerks’ house to discuss the Humphrey Bogart noir classic, The Maltese Falcon (1941).

None of us had seen it so we discuss the actors, the settings, the great character names and of course, we determine if we think this movie deserves it’s “classic film” status. Listen to the show on iTunes, Stitcher or grab it right here.

Next up, the Classic Film Jerk crew came over to the Clubhouse with us for Cult Film Club Episode 9 where we discuss the cult detective comedy, Zero Effect (1998).

Starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller, this quirky comedy is a modern indie take on the Sherlock Holmes dynamic and considered neo-noir which would allow us to bookend this nice discussion of noir films. We have a lot of fun and I think you’re going to like these shows.

Check out Episode 9 of The Cult Film Club podcast on iTunes, Stitcher or listen to it online right here.

First off we have episode 87 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast in which we are again joined by our friend Jeremy from Geek Chunks to discuss Ultimate Movie Trilogies.

Jeeg gives us a few categories like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alien Invasion and “Wild Card”. We then all have to come up with our own Ultimate Movie Trilogy for that category. It’s a lot of fun and I think you’ll be surprised by some of the movies that get selected.

Next up we have Episode 7 of the Cult Film Club podcast. This month Jaime, Shawn and I talk about the mid-90s video game to movie adaptation Mortal Kombat.

We talk about our history with the game, some of our favorite characters and whether all of the early 90s CGI holds up in this 18 years later. It’s a fun discussion, come join us.
