Nerd Lunch Episode 60: Nerd Government

Posted in podcast, pop culture with tags , , , on November 6, 2012 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

We have finally reached episode 60. And to celebrate, CT, Jeeg and I participate in a “3-way dance”.  And what are we doing this week?  To celebrate Election Day, we are voting in our favorite fictional characters into the American Government.

American Government

So we go through and pick our choices for President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, several Cabinet positions and Supreme Court Justices. Expect to hear the likes of Jack Ryan, RoboCop, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Vincent “Vinny” Gambini. We totally remake the government into a collection of bad ass mo-fos. You simply must check it out.

Nerd Lunch Episode 54: Give it a Chance 2: Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Nerd Lunch Podcast

We have arrived at Episode 54 of the podcast. This week we return to a previous topic called Give It A Chance. We first did this topic back in Episode 24 in which we gave anime a chance and we had Shawn Robare as our guide.  This week Jen Usellis (Episode 11) returns to the fourth chair to guide the three of us geeky guys through the world of Sookie Stackhouse.  That’s right, the three of us read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, the first Southern Vampire Mystery and the genesis of the TV show True Blood.

Dead Until Dark Sookie Stackhouse

Jen guides us through the gothic horror romance genre and teaches us all a thing or two about why this series is so popular.  We mostly discuss the book, but there is a part at the end in which we discuss the first few episodes of the TV show starring Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse.

We learn this week that two of the three of us have watched the show and that two of the three of us hate the vampire called “Bubba” in the novel.  We also learn that vampire Bill has a stupid name and is a “black hole of charisma”.

Lots to learn, lots to hear in this episode.  Download it from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

Nerd Lunch Episode 53: Drilldown on the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Welcome to episode 53. This week we are joined by Christian from the Atomic Geeks podcast.  Christian is here to discuss the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy now that it is all done and finished.

Since we are discussing this trilogy, Jeeg had to bow out since he has not seen the last movie.  And believe me, that was a wise decision because we spoil the HELL out of this trilogy.  So if you haven’t seen any of these movies, don’t listen because we don’t hold back.  And Christian makes sure to say SPOILER ALERT after he says his spoiler.  So, caveat emptor.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

This week on the podcast we are joined by William Bruce West, a fellow pop culture blogger.  Our discussion? We finally talk about DC Comics and the current situation they are in with their movies.

We talk about what they’ve done right and what they’ve done wrong. We talk about why we think nearly every one of DC’s major comic character movies suck (besides Batman). We discuss weaknesses and opportunities. We discuss what we want to see out of them moving forward. Essentially we’ve come up with a strategic plan for Warner Bros/DC for moving forward with movie adaptations their comic book franchises. I think we pretty much figured it out.

Nerd Lunch Episode 51: Does it live up to the hype? Part 2

Posted in fast food, movies, podcast, TV shows with tags , , , , , on September 4, 2012 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

AND WE ARE BAAAAAAACK!!! After a few weeks off the Nerd Lunch crew is back kicking holes into your eardrums. This week we are doing a sequel to Episode 7: Does it live up to the hype?

Breaking Bad

In this episode we are joined by Brian from Cool and Collected and show runner for The League of Extraordinary Bloggers.  We each pick something that we haven’t seen or done that has been hyped to us by friends, family and pop culture in general and we watch it.  Or do it.  Or eat at it.  My choice was the TV show Breaking Bad.  Brian picked Star Trek, CT picked Quentin Tarantino movies and Jeeg picked Chik-Fil-A.  Listen up to the discussion to find out if we thought our picks “lived up to the hype”.  Spoiler alert, there are more “NO”s than you would expect.
