After Lunch

Star Trek Month begins! The Nerd Lunch crew kick off a four week long celebration of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. They welcome William Bruce West and postulate on the future of Star Trek. What will the new series be like? Where does Star Trek need to go in order to survive another 25 years? Great nerdy discussion!

We begin a new series of movie drill down, this time, we dig deep into the Indiana Jones series. Starting with the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, we are joined by Kay and Todd to find out what we liked about the pulp serial-inspired film. And as a bonus, here lots of real and fake facts from Todd!

DiGio from The Atomic Geeks drops by to keep the Fourth Chair warm. The podcasters, inspired by the "Original Ghost Busters" from the 1970s decide to concoct other things that were the "original" versions of popular pop culture properties. Hear about the "original" Veronica Mars, the "original" Transformers, the "original" Preacher, and the "original" Knight Rider. Also, find out how long the crew can go without using the TAG googling music.

While the finished Nerd Lunch Podcast always sounds like a well oiled machine, we occasionally run into technical difficulties. Like this bit before we recorded Episode 235.

Join the nerds and Fourth Chair guest Evan Hanson as they discuss the third movie of the Ip Man series starring Donnie Yen and, of all people, Mike Tyson. The conversation heads in all kinds of directions from Bruce Lee to cliché British stereotypes to the importance of umbrellas in kung fu. This week's show also features the not-so-awaited return of Nerd To Dos including Harry Potter, Hanna-Barbera comics, vintage arcade gaming, the Pod James Pod podcast (whatever that is), and DragonCon.
