After Lunch

This week the Nerds return to their annual topic where they make up stuff about the coming year that won't come true. That's right, it's Nerdstradamus 2017. After a recap of the pathetic showing for 2016, the show welcomes Tim Lybarger to make predictions with them about TV, fast/junk food, and a wild card category. Then, they delve into an exercise of guessing which songs will show up on the second Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. Plus: Nerd To-Dos return!

This week we are joined by Engineernerd John Vanover to create some toys! Each podcaster was assigned a movie or TV show and is tasked to come up with a full line of toys to support our assignment. The assignments are split with two TV shows and two movies. Who got what? Listen to find out!

Listen to CT, Jeeg and Pax give gifts!

Nerd Lunch presents Down the Rabbit Hole. Carlin Trammel and Jeff Somogyi welcome guests Evan Hanson and Michael DiGiovanni (Classic Film Jerks Podcast) to dive into Wikipedia. This time, Jeff, Evan and Michael each came with a mystery link. Can any of them work the conversation from Wikipedia's "nutmeg" page to their link? Only one way to find out! Listen now!

Nerd Lunch's holiday celebration begins this week as Michael DiGiovanni returns to the Fourth Chair to continue our Christmas tradition. This year we pay homage to holiday themed TV episodes. Rather than recounting our favorites, we create Christmas crossover events that we wish existed for specific TV lineups of years gone by. If you ever wanted to know how the shows of the 1985-86 NBC primetime lineup might spend the holidays together (and who didn't?), this is the episode for you. It's a fun discussion that wanders into the room full of crazy more than once along the way. Happy Holidays from all of us at Nerd Lunch!

In this extra helping continued from our Ninja Day episode, we all start discussing the 80s ninja boom in America including such classic films like Revenge of the Ninja, American Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination.
