In 2015, the Nerd Lunch crew met up with most of the Atomic Geeks and assorted members of the Fourth Chair Army at C2E2 in Chicago. Ten years later, it's time to get together again with even more friends. The group this time included Carlin Trammel, William Bruce West, Jeeg, Paxton Holley, Jeff Somogyi, Shawn Robare, Michael May, Rob Graham, Christian Nielsen, and Michael DiGiovanni. In this audio diary, we learn about how the trip came together, check in with the attendees at various points of the weekend, and tease a very special podcast episode that we recorded there and will be Coming Soon.

Michael, Rob, and Pax talk about rescuing princesses, refrigerator delivery, Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey, comfort media, Mary and the Birth of Frankenstein by Anne Eekhout, Pax's revisiting early Nerd Lunch, Kill Creek by Scott Thomas, and so much more.

With Rob out of the country, Becky Tyler joins Michael and Pax in the lounge to talk about LiveJournal, The Phantom Menace, Gold Diggers of 1933, Lisa Frankenstein, Abigail, The First Omen, Late Night with the Devil, Immaculate, old Nerd Lunch episodes, the Fast and Furious movies, Jed MacKay's Moon Knight, Remo Williams, God of Fire by Helen Steadman, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, PG Wodehouse's Jeeves stories, and more.

Ever witnessed someone experience sudden agile enlightenment? What was it like? Is there a method to the magic that can be replicated? Ever seen a new idea face resistance against "the way we have always done it"? How did you handle it? Join Chris and Austin as they discuss "Agile Satori, Meatloaf Industrialism, and Ensemble Training" with Jon Fazzaro. First, they discuss flipping the classroom, "Nerd Lunch," and ensemble training in light of "the speed of work as the speed of idea sharing." Second, they dive into Meatloaf Industrialism and our unquestioned cultural habits. Lastly, Jon shares about agile satori vs. slow gradual transformation and they discuss the relation between immersion and the paradox of paradigm shifts.

In a completely original idea - Nerd Lunch definitely did not do this exact same topic on Episode 320 of their show - Michael and Rob welcome Evan Hanson, Paxton Holley, and Michael DiGiovanni to help a few restaurants create special menus inspired by Christmas movies.

In another rerun from the former Sleigh Bell Cinema podcast, Michael talks with Nerd Lunch's Jeeg about the Joe Dante almost-Christmas classic, Gremlins.

Michael, Rob, Evan, and Pax gather in the lounge for another rambling conversation about what they've been listening to and reading. This time, the discussion touches on (among many other things) Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the history of Nerd Lunch, Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury, and Paper Girls by Brian K Vaughan and Cliff Chiang.

(From February 2018)Flash (Ah-Ahhh!) Gordon hit theaters in 1980 to little fanfare, but is most remembered for the awesome soundtrack by rock group, Queen. Outlandish costumes and a wacky performances from cast members like Sam J. Jones, Brian Blessed and Max Von Sydow have made the movie a cult classic among fans of so bad it's good cinema over the years . And despite a comedic return appearance in Seth McFarlane's Ted movies, we still haven't gotten a follow-up film.Only the SequelQuest crew of Adam, Jeff and Jeramy, along with our mighty guest host Carlin Trammel of the Nerd Lunch podcast (http://nerdlunch.net/podcast/) are brave enough to attempt a return to Mongo for an exploration of whether or not, “Gordon's Alive” and where his adventures have taken him.This energetic conversation deals not only in hypothetical plot scenarios, but also the history of Flash Gordon in animation and ideas for fast food tie-in promotions and toys that should have existed in the 80's.

We valiantly tried to complete a quartet of reunions, but alas, there was one that was impossibly elusive—the Under Scoop Fire podcast. Someday we'll have to tell the story of scheduling woes, but that's another podcast. Instead, we present this pseudo-rerun. Back in November of 2015, the USF cast appeared on Nerd Lunch as a part of a crossover. And Nerd Lunch appeared on USF, too. For the first time in this feed, here is episode 147 of the Under Scoop Fire podcast with guests, the Nerd Lunch cast.

Summer Reunions 2017 continues with the last of our full-fledged reunions. The guys who inspired the Nerd Lunch gang to hop on the podcast train...The Atomic Geeks. A year after their final episode, the full crew of DiGio, Downs, Christian and Andrew return for a podcast reunion.

Lots of deep cuts and obscurities mentioned on this one, but not so many that we're out more than $5 total.

As a part of our "Real Life Scenarios" discussions, the Nerd Lunch crew welcomes Mike Westfall on to discuss who we think the real life Vice Presidential Action Rangers are. Based on the premise from Futurama's "Anthology of Interest I" where Al Gore reveals a VP's job is to protect the space-time continuum, we determine the rosters of Sprio Agnew, George Bush, Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden and Mike Pence's Action Rangers. Be assured that the space-time continuum is in good shape for the most part.

Carlin Trammel, Jeff Somogyi and Paxton Holley welcome Michelle Houghton, Disney fan extraordinaire, to dive into Disney.Wikia.com. We learn about movies that are a mix of live action and cartoons, giggle buttons, pin trading and why you never want to watch a movie with Jeff.

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!

This week on Nerd Lunch we are celebrating that most holiest of days, Ninja Day! For this very special episode we are joined by Evan Hanson and first time guest Keith Rainville from VintageNinja.net to discuss the 1962 Japanese ninja classic, Shinobi-no-Mono.  Keith takes us through the movie and we have a pretty deep discussion on the impact of this classic and how it influenced movies for generations to come.

This week Nerd Lunch is celebrating their 250th episode!  To mark this special occasion Shawn Robare and Jaime Hood have invited Pax, CT and Jeeg over to Branded HQ for dinner.  While touring the house, the fellas get trapped in Shawn Robare's Ecto Cooler Cooler and begin reminiscing about all of their favorite episodes of the podcast.

Due to what we thought was an error in recording, we wound up doing a take two on the Rabbit Hole episode. But it turned out we had the original recording. Sooooo...you get the actual last time we're doing Down the Rabbit Hole on Nerd Lunch. Also, this is funnier if you've already listened to episode 244.

In celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Nerd Lunch Podcast, CT and Pax visit Dragon Con in Atlanta.

Star Trek month continues with Sean Kelley from the Improvised Star Trek podcast returning to the show as Fourth Chair. This week the nerds share some of their favorite minutiae from the Star Trek canon.

Michael May completes his four week Nerd Lunch tour of duty and we make his dream of guesting with William Bruce West come true. Then, in the spirit of Fuller House, Girl Meets World and Coach, we get into an exercise of coming up with ideas for TV show revivals, some more deserving than others. We bring back Magnum, PI, Blacke's Magic, Small Wonder, Amen, and Murphy Brown. Nerd To-Dos feature some comic book reading, TV watching and taking a kid to go see that new Star Wars movie.

Nerd To-Do is done! CT, Jeeg and Pax join forces with UnderScoopFire's Corey, eclectik, and Tank to create the greatest crossover since Thomas Magnum met up with Rick and A.J. Simon.
