Rondal Scott returns to our fourth chair this week to mull over what to do if we actually had time machines. We discuss a variety of self serving time travel activities: which model time machine would we choose, what movie premieres we'd go back to see, what long lost fast food items we'd want to try, classic toys to pick up, changes we'd make in our personal lives, and it wouldn't be a complete episode without talk of killing Hitler. Our Nerd To-Dos feature the Seduction of the Innocent, The Dark Knight Rises, the 1930s version of King Kong, and birthday related plans to see Iron Man 3.

For this episode of the Nerd Lunch podcast we are joined by another member of the Schlock Treatment podcast, Kirk Howle. We are also joined by 4th chair regular Shawn Robare since Jeeg is called away on assignment to do the thing he does best. This week we talk about movie toys. We talk about movie toys that worked and use that knowledge to then talk about movie toys that didn't work. We talk about why these toys worked or didn't work and then we all propose our own movie toy line that should have happened. Some of the movie toys discussed include Star Wars, The Shadow, Dick Tracy and The Lone Ranger. Our Nerd To-Dos feature Masters of the Universe figures, cartoon animation, more Wizard of Oz stuff and Jumpin' Jack Doritos.
We kick off the new year by peering into the future with fourth chair Doug Frye from the Schlock Treatment podcast.

We also start up the Nerd Lunch Dead Pool and predict which celebrities will kick the bucket this year. Our Nerd To-Dos feature Star Wars Angry Birds, Battlestar Galactica, Six Million Dollar Man, and Jack in the Box.

We're joined this week by Claymation Werewolf for a very special episode on 80s sitcoms.

The usual suspects like Cheers, Family Ties, and The Golden Girls are mentioned, but we get to Mama's Family, A Different World, and Major Dad a lot faster than anybody would expect. Our Nerd To-Dos feature real life screenwriting, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, an upcoming gathering of the nerds, and Black Friday shopping plans.
