Podcast Double Feature: Nerd Lunch Episode 87 and Cult Film Club Episode 7

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture on May 29, 2013 by Paxton

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.

Welcome to episode 85. As in 1985…..I take over the reins as host this week and we invite back our good friend Rondal from Strange Kids Club to talk about time travel. Specifically, I am giving the guys scenarios involving time travel and they have to tell me what they’d do.

We talk about our favorite time machines. We talk about what movies we’d go back to see in the theater. What fast food items that are no longer available we’d go back to eat. Who would we like to meet from the past? And what national tragedy we’d try to avert. And yes, there are numerous references to Back to the Future and Dr Who.

It’s a fun discussion. Come join us.

Nerd Lunch Episode 83: Creating movie themed restaurant menus

Posted in fast food, movies, podcast, pop culture with tags fast food, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, pop culture on April 30, 2013 by Paxton

For this, our 83rd episode, we are joined again by Steve from the Food Junk blog to discuss movies and fast food menus.

Yes, with the release earlier this year of Denny’s Hobbit Menu, we were inspired to take matters into our own hands and imagine what would happen if other restaurants took the same marketing approach and created specialized menus for movies. Imagine Red Lobster creating a menu for a serial killer. What would a Buckaroo Banzai menu look like at a place known mostly for desserts? And would you eat at Olive Garden regardless of the movie it created a menu for?

All these things and more are answered in this week’s Nerd Lunch Podcast.

Btw, I just realized that this is my 700th post.

Cult Film Club Episode 6: Zapped! (1982)

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture with tags Cult Film Club, movies, podcast on April 24, 2013 by Paxton

Welcome to episode 6 of the Cult Film Club. This week Shawn, Jaime and I watch and discuss the teen sex comedy Zapped! starring the future Charles in Charge leads, Scott Baio and Willie Aames. The movie also features the lovely Heather Thomas, Felice Schachter and a slew of other familiar 80s faces like Scatman Crothers, Eddie Deezen and the worst looking Mr Spock you’ve ever seen.

We talk about our history with the movie. We talk about the movie’s origins. We talk about the nature of homage and parody. We also discuss telekinetic rape. Because, well, we haven’t done that in a show yet.
