Nerd Lunch

Leading up to a brand new Hip Hop Show tomorrow, we are reposting the second Hip Hop Show today where we talked all about N.W.A, Eazy-E and the whole Ruthless posse with guests Tim Lybarger and Eclectik.

Leading up to a new Hip Hop episode on Wednesday, we are reposting the very first Nerd Lunch Hip Hop Show where we did a drill down on Run-DMC with guests Tim Lybarger and Matt Ringler.

Christian Nielsen and Kay join Michael May to talk about a phenomenon that's plagued nerds since the beginning of time (or at least, nerd time). Why do we latch on to some series or characters so hard that we feel compelled to watch or read even iterations that don't look that appealing to us? Looking at specific examples like The Addams Family, Batman, Robin Hood, and Star Wars, the panel attempts to figure this out.

Earlier this week we had our good friend Doug Frye on the podcast. Doug was one of the four guys who used to appear on the now defunct Schlock Treatment Podcast. They recorded that show in person and about four years ago I was in New York City for a work trip and had the chance to break away from that and join them for the evening. It was a great time and I wish I could have recorded the whole evening because after we did the show, all of us went to dinner together and I got to have my very own private Schlock Treatment podcast in how I was just able to listen and watch them all interact. I’ll always cherish this chance to meet these guys. And now we present it to you as a bonus episode of Nerd Lunch.

Earlier this year, I (CT) produced a video showcasing Infinity Con Tallahassee. It was a fun video and I got a chance to meet and talk with David Herringer as a part of that. Well, David has been connecting a lot of different individuals and creative outlets in the state of Florida and connected me with the folks at Cosmic Times Comics with operates out of Florida. Martin Pierro is the publisher of Cosmic Times Comics and I had the opportunity to chat with him about the history of comics, including his stint running a fanzine, and we talk about where things are heading in the industry. Cosmic Times is currently running a Kickstarter. Check out CosmicTimes.net for more information about that and everything else they have going on.

Four topics, one drilldown. What could possibly go wrong? Join Doug Frye, Jeeg, Pax, and CT in the Nerd Lunch Labs for yet another experiment in podcasting.

Jeeg, CT, Brad Sammut, Adam Pope, Josh Monken, and the unseen hand of Pax conduct a tournament to crown the best third movie of a series.

Jeeg and Pax are joined by Jay and Robert Zerbe to create our own Halloween themed restaurants.  

For the spoooky 13th episode of the Fourth Chair Army Invasion, Chad Young, Evan Hanson, and Rob Graham join Michael May to assemble a super team of iconic horror movie actors. Who stars in this all-star screamfest? Who appears in cameos? What characters are they playing, what are they doing, and who directs this amazing piece of cinema history.

Talk to me, Johnny! Adam from SequelQuest and William Bruce West join Michael May to rap about Lt. John J Rambo's adventures in Washington, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and maybe even a little with the Force of Freedom. What are the high and low points of the series? Does it deserve the attention it's received? And what expectations does it create for the upcoming Rambo: Last Blood?
