The Batman Spoiler Ep

*THE RAID 2, MR. PEABODY & SHERMAN, JOHNNY CARSON: KING OF LATE NIGHT, discussed"  Chris and Graham welcome first time guest Maz Jobrani into the Nerd HQ.  Chris liked The Raid 2 but thought it was a little long.  Maz and his kids enjoyed Mr. Peabody & Sherman.  Graham and Maz both liked the netflix doc, Johnny Carson: King of Late Night.  This ep is a Trunk Club full of good movie talk!

Ep 211 Maz Jobrani

*Films discussed: THE RAILWAY MAN, NEED FOR SPEED, THE RAID 2, SINGING IN THE RAIN* Chris and Graham welcome comedian Alonzo Bodden into the nerd HQ.  Alonzo talks about his podcast and why Need for Speed needed a script.  Graham thinks The Railway Man is a early oscar contender.  Graham was in agreement with Chris about The Raid 2.  Chris saw the classic, Singing In The Rain on the big screen. Alonzo talks about super hero films.  Not a great week for DVDs or in theaters.  This ep is like a time-traveling train of good times!

Ep 212 Alonzo Bodden

*FILMS DISCUSSED: DRAFT DAY, FILTH, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, AND MANY MORE* Chris and Graham welcome first time guest, Dean Delray.  Dean talks about going on the road with the Rolling Stones.  Graham was entertained by Draft Day.  Chris thought Filth was all over the place.  Dean saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High on the big screen and thought it held up.  And many more films are talked about in this action packed episode! Oh yeah, some boring nonsense on DVDs and Spiderman 2...I guess.

Ep 213 Dean Delray

*FILMS DISCUSSED: INHERENT VICE, TOP 5, WILD, BIG EYES* Chris and Graham welcome Rich Sommer, who played Harry Crane on Mad Men.  Rich talks about what it was like making Mad Men and how Inherent Vice was funny at times but made no sense. Graham liked Wild. Chris was glad Tim Burton made Big Eyes.  Rich thought Top 5 was funny even when the serious acting fell short. Rich talks about why he loves board games and gets bullied into starting a boardgame podcast.  Not great DVDs but Christmas Day is filled with some solid films and Into the Woods. This episode will max out the Chirstolph Waltz accent intensity meter.

Ep 247 Rich Sommer

Graham and Chris welcome Erik Griffin into the Nerd HQ.  Erik talks about his character, Montez Walker, from the show Workaholics on Comedy Central.  Erik and Graham spilt a little on Spider-Man.  Chris was just so-so on Savages.  Graham and Erik both liked Ted.  Chris' was glad to see Brave was better than Cars 2 but not as good as Up.  Graham gives a good recommendation to Safety Not Guaranteed.  A good DVD pick is out and a great weekend to stay home and rest up for Dark Knight Rises.  It will make you want to see Janet Jackson's nipple!

Ep 117 with Erik Griffin

Chris and Graham welcome back nerd writer Mike Schmidt for a special two-part episode!  Part A is a regular episode with a general review of The Dark Knight Rises (Part B is a spoiler alert episode of Dark Knight Rises) where all three loved the film.  Mike and Chris had some minor complaints and Graham thought it was perfect.  Chris finally watches Spider-man and thought it was useless and was mad at Graham for being to easy on Erik Griffin.  Graham liked To Rome With Love, not as much as Midnight in Paris, but still good.  Only two new DVD's and then the film event of the summer STEP UP REVOLUTION!!!

Ep 119a Mike Schmidt

Chris and Graham welcome back Paul F. Tompkins to the nerd HQ.  It's a Step-Up Revolution spoiler alert!!!  Graham was unaware that flash mobs can reverse public policy, who knew?  Chris watched a very good and sad samurai film Hara-Kiri.  Graham really liked The Intouchables despite it's name.  Paul talks about his podcast and David Lean.  One really stupid DVD film and Paul was not as excited about Total Recall as one might expect.  It is a Nerd Revolution so shut up and dance!!

Ep 121 with Howie Nave

Chris and Graham Welcome the director of Mega Shark vs Octopus, Jack Perez, for a fun filled themed episode.  He talks about how he met Allan Havey.  How crazy it was to make a no-budget film about sharks and mollusks.  Plus a great discussion about what it takes to make an indie film like Some Guy Who Kills People, Jack's latest film with John Landis as the producer.  It is a nerd filled round table with a indie filmmaker who has done it all!  This epsiode will make Ace Hanna proud!

Ep 127 Jack Perez

Welcome back!  After a little break so Graham could fly to Kuwait and tell jokes in a sand box, the nerds are here.  Chris and Graham welcome the co-host of Off The Cuff on XM radio, Gary Brightwell.  Gary talks about working with Blue Collar comic Bill Engvall and working in Vegas. Chris was a little let-down by Looper. Gary and Graham want End of Watch to use a tri-pod and just tell a story.  Chris is a fan of the limited release film Solomon Kane.  Graham was creeped out, in a good way, by The Master and thinks you should watch it.  Gary tells why he likes dramas over comedies.  Two so-so DVDs and then a decent slate of films coming out this weekend.  It's a nerd revolution!

Ep 130 Cash Levy

Chris and Graham welcome stand-up comic and movie star Kevin Pollak!  Kevin talks about his new podcast "The Kevin Pollak chat show," and the difference of coming from traditional to new media.  Graham was so-so on Seven Psychopaths.  Chris was about the same for For Ellen.  Then Kevin talks about doing a 2 hour interview on the Chat Show and how becoming an actor hurt him a little as a comic.  Then he gives excerpts from his new book "How I Slept My Way to the Middle".  Crazy funny showbiz stories that will blow your mind.  A couple of ok DVD choices and Cloud Atlas opens this weekend!  It's the A Few Good Men of episodes.

Ep 131 Kevin Pollak

Feel the fun with Dean Haglund!  Dean talks about his interview with Tom Hanks and Halle Berry that is on the CFN youtube page.  And then a nice nerdy discussion about Cloud Atlas.  All three really enjoyed the film and suggest that you see it well-rested.  Then Graham goes into how they should of used the actual story about who discovered Mavericks rather than the Hollywood silliness of Chasing Mavericks.  And the boys are a little hopeful that Disney will bring Star Wars back to its former glory.  Chris, Graham and Dean are all fired up for Skyfall and Lincoln this weeked!  If you like quantum mechanics and surfing then this episode is for you!

Ep 133 Dean Haglund

Welcome back Laura House!  You light up the nerd cave with some hilarious talk about Skyfall.  Graham liked it and Laura did as well but was a little put off by Javier Bardem's hair.  Chris had a good time with his family at Wreck it Ralph.  And Graham liked Flight a little mroe than Laura.  Some Ok DVDs this week.  And of course its Twilight the final part of the epic endiing finale that is the second part of the conclusion.  Also Silver Linings Playbook looks good.  This is some good ol nerdery for your ears!

Some nice talk about the LA Podfest, what working on Phantom Menace was like and then an all out film noir nerd con!  A blistering pace is set for all three nerds, in this themed episode, to talk about how growing up in San Francisco influenced Greg's love affair with noir.  They discuss which ones are classic and should be remade.  Graham asks Greg to defend his dislike of Miller's Crossing and much much more!  This ep is like a dame with a nose for trouble, but her sweet pipes keep you coming back for more until you go down for the dirt nap.

Ep 136 Greg Proops

Chris and Grahm are back with Mike Schmidt!  Graham talks about doing shows Down Under and why Red Dawn was what you think it would be.  Chris goes on a Twilight rampage.  Mike thinks Killing Them Softly is a perfect film.  Graham wants you to see Lincoln but be aready for some long Spielbergy scenes.  Also Graham saw a good doc, Waiting for Surgarman, in Adelaide that is worth your time.  Then more Dark Knight DVD talk and some ok looking films in the theaters this weekend.  This show is better than a vegimite sandwhich.

Ep 137 Mike Schmidt

It's long time friend but first time guest Wayne Federman talking films in the nerd HQ! Wayne tells us what a "Federman and out" is and why he did not like Cloud Atlas.  Graham liked Hitchcock, but didn't love it.  Chris thought A Dark Truth was directed by a 4 year old.  Then Wayne talks about some of the films he's been in like the new Maria Bamford special!  A bunch of DVDs this week and some interesting films in theaters.  It's better than being a dumb married couple at a comedy show!
