Nerd Lunch

CT and Jeeg welcome Rob Graham and Pax's notes for the final time they will do their movie menus topic. Predator, Three Amigos, and more get discussed!

Hear the entire panel CT was on at Infinity Con Tallahassee in podcast form. Along with Jon Reddick and George Sumpter from GenXGrownup and Shagg from Fire and Water, the podcasters have "classic geek debates." Also, be sure to check out the Nerd Lunch Visits video available at nerdlunch.net!

On this episode of Nerd Lunch we are joined again by the Batman 75 rhyme team of Jay and Michael May to discuss the two Tim Burton Batman movies for the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Batman.

Are they excellent scifi comedies, disposable popcorn flicks, or a threat to all life on this planet? Annaliese Trammel, Chris Bailey (aka Charlton Hero), and Michael May drill deep into the first three Men in Black movies as well as the comics (thanks to Chris!). They talk about what works, what doesn't, and what it all could mean for Men in Black: International.

Join Jeeg, CT, Pax, and Michael May for some predictions about everyone's favorite Cajun superhero, Gambit, and his standalone movie that will never be made.

The nerds reminisce about their experiences with the Internet in the 90s. Dial-up, AOL discs, USENET groups, MUDs, and crappy search engines made for a special time indeed. WARNING: Do not take a drink every time Netscape is mentioned in this episode.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ENDGAME OR WATCH GAME OF THRONES, do not listen to this episode!   This month, Corey welcomes long time friend and professor (!) Matt Dunn to the show to discuss the final chapter of the Avengers saga, Endgame. They then take a deep dive into Season 8 of Game of Thrones. They discuss plot twists, character arcs, and the shows legacy. Their discussion is spoiler filled, so be warned!

It's the 20th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I, so Pax talks to several members of the Fourth Chair Army to get their own remembrances of experiencing Episode I back when it was released in 1999.

It's the final time the Nerd Lunch crew visits the 50 Cent Bin! We thought last time would be it, but Adam from SequelQuest Pod pitched a new ideas so it's ONE MORE TIME for the bin. This time, the podcasters (including additional guest William Bruce West) have to take two 50 Cent Bin comic book characters and combine them into one. Creativity abounds in this 50 Cent Bin finale!

For this episode we are joined by first time Fourth Chair Retromash as well as Fourth Chair vets Christian Nielsen and Shawn Robare to draft ourselves a heist team.  We are each given 9 positions to fill and we pop culture fantasy draft ourselves a team to steal the Classic Film Jerks Golden Microphone.

Inspired by the upcoming Godzilla movie, Michael May invites Chad Young, Jeff Somogyi, and Evan Hanson to recast giant monsters and giant robots in other genres. The conversation occasionally runs off-topic like a giant lizard in downtown Tokyo, rampaging through eBay, stadium seating, summer camp counseling, and Blue Apron chase variants, but ultimately our fearless team is able to create a kaiju musical, film noir, roller coaster, and a season of Real Housewives: Terror Tooth.

CT, Jeeg and Pax talk about Avengers Endgame.

The original Star Wars Celebration in Denver, CO turned 20 years old on April 30, 2019.  Pax is joined by his friend Jason Collier to talk about their trip out to Denver back in 1999 and their memories of the historic event.

It's tournament time on this fifth Tuesday as Jeeg convenes a panel to crown the best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Joining the crew for a fun stroll down IMDB lane are Shawn Robare, Peter Kuebeck, and the Awesome Grace Jones.

Tank returns for a 2019 Summer Movie Preview!

CT, Pax, and Mike Westfall play America's favorite game show, "Name That Fourth Chair Army Member", with host Jeeg McJeegerson. How good are they are identifying Fourth Chair guests from their first tweets or Instagram photos? You might be surprised, unless you've listened to one of our Nerdstradamus episodes.

With the new Shazam! movie fresh in theaters, Michael May, Evan Hanson, and Paxton Holley go back to 1941 to talk about the Big Red Cheese's first movie appearance. It's a deep dive into the classic movie serial as well as discussions of comics, the '70s TV show, and expectations for the new film.

It's a postscript to March as The Chap Report's March episode finds itself in the beginning of April. Corey welcomes back Carlin Trammel of "Nerd Lunch Prime." The two talk A LOT about planes which includes a metaphor for Carlin's post-Nerd Lunch Podcast career, LOST and what it's like to fly on planes. Also, Carlin makes an impassioned plea to not quickly move on to the next national story. Remember the massive amount of devastation that has hit our country over the past couple years. Lots of people still need help. You can read just a few of the stories about Mexico Beach at NeverForgottenCoast.com as just one example.

As an addendum to our Star Trek VI drilldown in episode 327, Pax does a special episode of I Read Movies where he discusses the Star Trek VI novelization by JM Dillard.

Evan Hanson joins us to finally complete our series of Star Trek movie drill downs. We dive into The Undiscovered Country by quoting lots of Shakespeare and uncovering a Shakespeare conspiracy theory. What did the Nerd Lunchers like, what did they not like and are they glad this is the last film with the full original cast.
