Nerd Lunch Episode 50 EXTRAVAGANZA!!: Ask Us Anything

We are finally here. Episode #50. We have reached the 1 yr anniversary of doing this podcast (well, close enough) and the end of what can be considered “Season 1” of the Nerd Lunch Podcast. Yay!

Episode 50

It has been so much fun. We took this week to answer some questions that were submitted by our listeners. Probing questions. Stuff they wanted to know about the three of us that we haven’t already covered in one of our previous 49 episodes. Most disappointing movie? We discuss. Favorite Starfleet captain? Oh yes, we discuss. The first thing we think about when we think of Australia? Yep. It’s all in there. We lay ourselves bare for you, our listeners. So download and enjoy.

After this momentous occasion, the three of us are going to take two weeks off to chillax and get our heads back in the game. We’ll be back in two weeks with our next chaotic, out of control run to 100. See you then.

Nerd Lunch Episode 49: Guilty Pleasures

Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, TV shows on August 8, 2012 by Paxton

Here we are, 1 episode before the big 5-0. This week we are joined again by Rondal from Strange Kid’s Club and we are doing a somewhat “sequel” to a subject from w-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-y back in Episode 4. That subject was guilty displeasures. However, this week, we are flipping the script and talking about guilty pleasures.

(Via Pretty Random Things)

Yes, guilty pleasures. Those things you do that you are ashamed you do. Watch a terrible TV show, enjoy a bad movie. Maybe you don’t feel guilty about it but everyone else you know gives you crap about it. That’s what we are discussing. And yes, reality television is mentioned more than once. So strap on your listening devices and join us.

Nerd Lunch and Atomic Geek crossover episodes!

Posted in nostalgia, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, The Atomic Geeks, TV shows on July 31, 2012 by Paxton

This is week #2 of the HUGE Nerd Lunch/Atomic Geeks Summer Crossover series. This week, the casts of both shows get all mixed up and swap members.

First up is Nerd Lunch Episode 48. Digio and Downs join CT and Kristen from the Geek Girls Network for an in-depth, expletive-laden discussion of Doctor Who.

Since Jeeg and I weren’t on this episode, I literally have no idea what they talked about…well, other than Dr Who. And maybe the Tardis. And Daleks. But that is the sum total of my Dr Who knowledge.

While Nerd Lunch yells at each other about the “easy fix button” that is the Sonic Screwdriver (I guess I knew that term, too) Jeeg and I traveled over to the Atomic Geeks for Episode 172 in which we discuss “Mash Ups” with Christian and Bloom.

I can tell you we talked about mashing up such things as board games and 80s-90s sitcoms, Super heroes and the AFI 100 greatest movies list and Pac-Man and horror movies. It’s all mixed up and confusing, much like this Summer Crossover series, but it’s a lot of fun.

Nerd Lunch Episode 47: Pop Culture Expanded Universes

Posted in books, comic books, movies, podcast, pop culture, TV shows with tags books, comic books, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, TV shows on July 24, 2012 by Paxton

Welcome to Episode 47. This week I am hosting the show and Jeeg has gone off on a solo adventure. We replace Jeeg with Shawn from Branded in the 80s and our rotating guest chair goes unfilled. But we actually have a guest. Unfortunately the guest doesn’t use chairs, so that’s why the rotating chair is unfilled. This week we are also joined by regular Atomic Geeks guest, Mark Dury. Our topic this week is Pop Culture Expanded Universes.

You know, the novels, TV shows, comics and cartoons based on already popular pop culture properties that “expand” the “universe” of that property. We discuss the granddaddys of Expanded Universes with Star Wars and Star Trek. However we also cover The Matrix, ET, Farscape, Highlander and even Alf. It’s a lively discussion you should have a lot of fun with. I know I had a lot of fun hosting.

Download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

Or, you can listen to the episode online right here.

This is the first week of the huge Atomic Geeks/Nerd Lunch cross over series. The new Atomic Geeks episode this week will also be about Expanded Universes. As you saw yesterday, I’m also on Classic Film Jerks this week talking about Casablanca.

Next week, Jeeg and I go over to the Atomic Geeks to talk about mash ups. Digio and Downs from the Atomic Geeks join CT for a discussion about Doctor Who. It’s getting all mixed up and incestuous here in the Atomic Geeks Podcasting Network. Should be a lot of fun.

I talk about Casablanca on Classic Film Jerks Episode #8

Posted in movies, nostalgia, podcast, pop culture with tags Casablanca, Classic Film Jerks, movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcast, podcasts, pop culture, The Atomic Geeks on July 23, 2012 by Paxton

For the next two weeks, The Atomic Geeks and Nerd Lunch podcasts are having a summer crossover extravaganza. To start things off, I am the first guest ever on the podcast Classic Film Jerks. I am brought in by Digio and Bloom for Episode #8 in which we watch and discuss the Bergman/Bogart classic, Casablanca.

The three of us talk about the movie, if there was anything we liked/disliked about it or if anything stood out as being anachronistic or “out of date”. We also recast the movie if it had been made today. At the end during our recast, I blow the other guys’ minds by mentioning that there was a TV show based on this movie in 1983 starring one of the guys from Starsky and Hutch. It’s a pretty fun show.

You can listen to this podcast on iTunes or check it out on the Classic Film Jerks website.
