Returning to a classic Nerd Lunch topic, Michael, Rob, Becky Tyler, and Ben Graham each pick a single element from a movie or TV show that we want the rights to. And we of course explain what we would do if we had those rights.

Michael and Jess talk about horrific things they've been watching and reading, including the comedically bloody Grizzlyshark comics and the vampire Western graphic novel West of Sundown.

Michael, Rob, and Pax grab their gas guns and hop back into the buzzing car to watch The Green Hornet Strikes Again. Even though it was released in the same year as the serial it's a sequel to, there's a new actor playing Green Hornet (Warren Hull this time, instead of Gordon Jones). But Keye Luke is back as Kato, Anne Nagel as the awesome Case, and perhaps less excitingly, Wade Boteler as the bumbling stereotype Michael Axford. We didn't all love the first Green Hornet serial, so let's see how this one compares.

Jacob, Michael, Rob, and Pax talk about the TV movie Sherlock, aka Sherlock: Case of Evil starring James D'Arcy as the sexiest Holmes at the beginning of his detective career. Vincent D'Onofrio plays Moriarty, Richard E Grant is Mycroft, and Gabrielle Anwar shows up with some crucial information.

Michael, Pax, and Rob finish this 50th Lounge episode talking about celebrities who represent us, Interior Chinatown, X-Men/Star Trek crossovers, Jurassic World Rebirth, the Beastie Boys Book audiobook, and Stinker Lets Loose! by Mike Sacks (aka James Taylor Johnson).

On this 50th Lounge episode, Michael, Pax, Rob - and introducing PJ Holley! - talk about history podcasts, unproduced Superman movies, Sharks Of The Corn, Indiana Jones, The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, and how to invade an ensemble TV show.

Carlin Trammel brings a special episode presenting a recent panel he moderated at Infinity Con Tallahassee, talking with monster makers Christopher Burdett and Mark Maddox about their approaches to crafting compelling creatures in art.

Michael, Rob, and Pax start a new series of episodes in which we'll sporadically visit all of the Predator and Alien movies. In chronological order. So first up is Dan Trachtenberg's Prey, starring Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, and Coco as Sarii the Wonder Dog.

Michael and Jess talk about some horror movies they've been watching, then a classic collection of Charles Addams comics and Junji Ito's Gyo, Volume 1.

Returning to the classic Nerd Lunch topic, Michael and Rob are joined by guests Dan Taylor (Catacombs & Comedians) and Ron Ankeny to talk about actors we'd like to see in something again. First we play casting agents, each bringing an actor who hasn't had enough work lately for our tastes. We discuss each one and the kinds of roles they play, or that we would like to see them play. Then we enter the Writers Room and create an idea for a movie to showcase them all. It's a great time and we created (we think) a great movie.
