After Lunch

In this episode of Nerd Lunch, the Lunchers welcome first time guest Nick from On Second Scoop .

TMNT, Lizzie McGuire, Kool-Aid, Twizzlers, and more are all discussed. Nerd To-Dos feature Image Comics, Muppets Most...

This week we welcome Pax's buddy Dr. Mike back to the fourth chair for another Star Trek movie drilldown. Somehow our serious analysis of Star Trek: The Motion Picture devolves to include Billy Zane, Chris Pine's arm hair, giant sphincters, and talking like we're in a wormhole. Just the sort of high critique you can only get from Nerd Lunch and the rest of the Internet. Our Nerd To Dos feature a b...
