Nerd Lunch Podcast: Real Life Scenarios

In this new Nerd Lunch podcast, I sat in as a guest once again as we picked random characters from pop culture and tried to cast the real life counterpart. Which President do you think would fly a fighter jet toward an alien spacecraft to save humanity? Which real life mascot would you want to turn into a giant monster and terrorize the streets of New York?  These are just a couple of the questions we all know you’ve asked yourself a million times.

Guilty Pleasures

This week’s topic on the League of Extraordinary Bloggers is “Guilty Pleasures.” I know that I have quirks when it comes to movies, but nothing I’m really ashamed of. Or  at least,nothing that I wouldn’t openly tell people. I tend to like most styles and genres of movies. So when asking what a guilty pleasure would be for me, I ended up harkening back to my 8 year old self.

The Master

 

(2012 – Director: Paul Thomas Anderson   Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams)

The Master is a profoundly ambitious movie that shows us why sometimes taking huge risks can repel a large percentage of movie-goers, but in this case, results in a work of art that will undoubtedly season well with age.

Wreck-it Ralph

 

(2012 – Director: Rich Moore   Cast: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman)

Wreck-it Ralph is fun, energetic, and has a good heart. It makes for an alright film, but would have been better served as a children’s TV series.
