The Nerdologues

Calvin and Hobbes, secret lairs, and bawdy parodies of Dick Tracy – all that and more can be heard on the first half of today's new Nerdologuecast. Then, host Chris Geiger and his fellow Nerdologuers get honored with the presence of B minus-list actor Billy Zephyr, star of Dorm Goblins III: Goblin University!

Jimmy Pennington came on the show to talk about novels, and, while we may have strayed away from the topic at times, I truly dug this conversation. We got into some neuroses of our own and how those feelings affect what the Great American Novel must mean to its readers.

Episode 45! Today, to celebrate Clayton's new gig reviewing games for Honestgamers.com, we're talking about game journalism, what we love/hate about it, and what makes a 10. Friend of the show J.T. Butler came back to join us on this journey and add his reasons for hating Alan Wake.

Our second half of exploring 1993 actually gets away from the topic a bit, but that doesn't mean we don't have an excellent collection of stories and music to share with you today!

Oh nooooo! It's Bret Dorman!!! Talking about Godzilla! Look out! Man. What a delight this chat was. We covered a plethora of topics including some discussion on liking the things you like and not knowing or caring how other people feel about them, "bad" films vs. "good" films, and the way already existing content (books, other films, comics, etc) affects the way movies are made and for which type of audience.

Zack "Save the Best for Last" Mast (IO's Sonis) came on and talked about the best sleepover games we grew up with, back when people used to play games in the same room with each other. We talk Goldeneye, Metal Warriors, Wii Sports, all before Zack got blackout drunk. Enjoy!

In this media-saturated episode, host Chris Geiger chats with Nerdologues members Claire Friedman, Michael Jando, and Steve Persch about topics like names, privacy, and the Web.

There's a lot of MBSing firsts in this ep, guys! Two guests! Over one hour of conversation (because there were two guests)! So many bros talking about so much football in this, and I love every second of it.

Episode 43! Today we're talking with Alex Hanpeter (Two Bunnies Eating Flowers, Hijinks) about licensed games and mostly the time we've wasted playing them. Ya know, like the LOST game, the 7UP game and the PRISON BREAK game. Enjoy!

Let's go BACK IN TIME (like the Huey Lewis song) for this month-long celebration(?) of 1993. There's a lot of good stuff here about nostalgia and growing up, and we promise that after listening to this episode you'll feel like you've been teleported to the past (not really).
