Posted in movies, podcast, pop culture, Star Trek with tags , , , , on July 2, 2014 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

For this episode of Nerd Lunch we return to our Drill Downs on the Star Trek movie franchise.  Back in episode 06 we looked at Generations and First Contact.  Then in episode 46 we looked at Insurrection and Nemesis.  Today, we go back to the beginning and watch the very first Star Trek movie, The Motion Picture.

We talk about our first experiences with this movie, we talked about what we liked and didn’t like. We discuss the endless naval gazing, giant sphincters and terrycloth uniforms.  And we ponder the place this movie has in the pantheon of other Star Trek films.  It’s a good discussion on the first movie.  Come join us.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

For episode 134 of Nerd Lunch we invite not one, but TWO guests to join us. Our good friend Jay from The Sexy Armpit and Michael May from Michael May’s Adventureblog join us for a very special topic: Batman. This year is Batman’s 75th anniversary and we are here to look at Batman across all media much like we did with Superman last summer for episode 90.

We talk about our first encounters with Batman, some of our first merchandise and then we delve into the comics followed by lots of movie talk. It’s an info packed episode that ran so long I had to cancel Nerd-to-Dos. But it’s a fun episode with lots of awesome information and a spiffy new Batman-y podcast intro that I think you’ll like.

We discuss Alan Moore’s work, the comics we love, the comics we hate. We talk about his very hypocritical views on adaptations of his work, try to explain his place in the comic book creator “Hall of Fame” and why he seems to be fascinated with rape.

Lots to discuss involving Mr Moore so join us.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

This week we are joined by our good friend Rob Graham. And the topic is pretty great. It’s rare when we get such a perfect pairing of subject and guest.

I know I’ve said this before, but this week’s show is easily in our top 3. Rob really killed it this week…….Hmmm, I just checked the Nerd Lunch page for this week’s show and CT put up a very cryptic message.  Weird.  He was the one who edited the show, so I’m not really sure what’s up.  I guess I’ll have to listen along with you guys.

Posted in cartoons, Knight Rider, music, podcast, pop culture, TV, TV shows with tags , , , , on May 6, 2014 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

This week the nerds and I are joined by our good friend, and pop culture encyclopedia, William Bruce West.  William joins us to discuss a very favorite topic of ours, TV theme songs.

We are given categories; cartoons, action, sitcom, drama and opening narration and we all pick 2 or 3 of our favorites in each. Several of us wind up singing the songs for you. And yes, we do discuss our least favorites. But don’t worry, we leave plenty in reserve for our future SECOND Favorite TV Theme Songs episode.  And this may be our audio clip-iest episode since that board games episode we did with all the commercials.
