Nerd Lunch

This week we are joined by our good lawyery friend Evan Hansen and we return to the topic We Meet Again and talk about actors that have appeared together in multiple projects over the years.  We discuss ones we liked, ones we disliked and ones we'd love to see happen in the future.

The nerds reunite Nosh Show originals Dubba and Eric for a tournament to crown the best pizza topping. Along the way, pizza preferences are laid bare, the merits of Hawaiian pizza are discussed, and more things are revealed that Dubba won't eat. Cheer on your favorites in the big dance and listen for the one greasy moment that makes every Sweet Sixteen special.

To celebrate the madness that is March, the regular Rabbit Holes talk about that one special hole...the basketball goal. They visit basketball.wikia.com which turns out to be one of the worst officiated wikis we've run across. Due to the fast-paced nature of basketball, we try to hit all the pages we brought. Is it a slam dunk or are we denied?!

Jeeg, Michael May, William Bruce West, and Liz Twachtman break down Marvel's latest home run, Black Panther. Spoiler alert: we reveal things about the plot. Spoiler alert: we like this movie A LOT.

This week we are joined by Mike Westfall to draft a basketball team filled with players from movies, TV shows and cartoons.  We all create our own semi-professional teams, including names/mascots, and we start a snake draft picking players to play on our teams.

Our friend Liz Twachtman from NerdintheCity.com joins the cast for Hole Time this month and we dive into the Star Wars wiki to talk about Sarlaccs, Midicholorians and Luke Skywalker. Plus, this episode features the return of Paxton Holley AND, we are without Jeff this episode in a Rabbit Hole first. Thankfully Jonathan DeMuth was still in our studio from last time so he force jumped in like Yoda.

Our plans to talk about the 18 Coy and Vance episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard have yet again crashed into the ravine. Instead, find out what happens...during the show.

Jay from The Sexy Armpit and The Purple Stuff Podcast returns and the podcasters come up with ideas for shows that have the word "new" in them.

The Nerds take a quiet moment before the big 'Triple C' arrives to answer questions from friends and Fourth Chair Army members. Lots of transparency and fun discussions. Plus, hear our friend Eddie Jimmy Olmos again.

John Vanover returns to the Fourth Chair for our annual Nerdstradamus predictions show. After revisiting our amazing soothsaying performance from last year and crowning the 2017 Nerdstradamus champion, we prognosticate about 2018 and play overs and unders for Avengers: Infinity War. Prepare to be amazed!

This week the Nerd Lunch Star Wars panel reconvenes to discuss the latest in the Skywalker saga, Star Wars The Last Jedi.  There are a wide range of opinions on this divisive entry in the franchise, so buckle up for a wild ride!  And by wild ride I mean "a pretty low key, rational discussion of the movie".

Jonathan DeMuth returns to Down the Rabbit Hole and there's a new twist this episode. Jeff and Jonathan each have to follow their own separate tracks to see who can get to the page for "tricorn" first! Lots of questions are asked and then immediately answered with nonsensical questions in this episode!

Welcome to 2018! It's a brand new year and a brand new world. One wear Disney owns everything. The Nerd Lunch crew welcome Robert Zerbe and eclectik back to the show to discuss the Disney acquisition of FOX. What are the pros and cons? What will change? What will stay the same? And in traditional Nerd Lunch fashion, we decide to come up with a few Disney/FOX mergers of our own!

Jeeg, CT, and Michael May discuss the first season of Seth MacFarlane's sci-fi love letter, The Orville. The nerds discuss what drew them to the show, their favorite characters, episode highlights, and what they're hoping to see in season 2. 

Andrew Bloom from the Classic Film Jerks podcast joins Carlin and Jeff for a Christmas-themed episode of our show. Hilarity ensues as we see if we can get from the "Scrooged" page on Wikipedia to "Bethlehem, PA." 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year as we once again welcome Michael DiGiovanni to the Fourth Chair for the Nerd Lunch Christmas spectacular. This year we create Christmas specials for characters and celebrities that never had them but should have. First on the docket are pitches for an idea we joked about last year: The Doof Warrior Christmas Special. After you’ve enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out DiGio’s previous Christmas appearances dating back to 2012.

This week is the annual Nerd Lunch Ninja Day Special.  We are again joined by Keith Rainville from VintageNinja.net and this time we discuss the bananas on bananas ninja vs kaiju movie, Magic Serpent from 1966.

Back in 1996, CT and a friend from college, Carl, worked as grips on an episode of the syndicated show Sightings. In this extra helping, CT and Carl reminisce about their weekend working on this show. Additionally, CT tracked down the director of the episode, Patrick Taulère, and talked to him about some of what happened behind-the-scenes of Sightings (including how Happy Days' Henry Winkler was involved). Get your incense ready and take a listen to this special episode!

The nerds welcome Tim Lybarger back to the Fourth Chair to talk about things they completely missed the boat on. That acclaimed movie that everyone loves? Never saw it. The hot gadget that changed everyone's life? Never got one. That popular show everyone talked about it in the office? Never watched an episode. If you want to find out how out of touch the guys are, don't miss the boat on this episode.

Jeeg from "Nerd Lunch Prime" makes his Rabbit Hole debut and we boldly go into new territory with a three-man crew for the first time. We explore the Star Trek Wikia and try to get from Mintakan Leader Nuria to Data's evil brother Lore in less than seven pages. We also play some dom-jot along the way.
