382 | The Green Hornet Strikes Again (1940)
After Lunch
Michael, Rob, and Pax grab their gas guns and hop back into the buzzing car to watch The Green Hornet Strikes Again. Even though it was released in the same year as the serial it's a sequel to, there's a new actor playing Green Hornet (Warren Hull this time, instead of Gordon Jones). But Keye Luke is back as Kato, Anne Nagel as the awesome Case, and perhaps less excitingly, Wade Boteler as the bumbling stereotype Michael Axford. We didn't all love the first Green Hornet serial, so let's see how this one compares.

375 | Give That Person Some Work
After Lunch
Returning to the classic Nerd Lunch topic, Michael and Rob are joined by guests Dan Taylor () and Ron Ankeny to talk about actors we'd like to see in something again. First we play casting agents, each bringing an actor who hasn't had enough work lately for our tastes. We discuss each one and the kinds of roles they play, or that we would like to see them play. Then we enter the Writers Room and create an idea for a movie to showcase them all. It's a great time and we created (we think) a great movie.

374 | The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939)
After Lunch
Our Sherlock Holmes panel Pax, Jacob, Michael, and Rob talk about Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce's second outing as Holmes and Watson. They'd appeared together in The Hound of the Baskervilles earlier that same year, but this one's an original story (loosely based on a play by William Gillette). It's still a Victorian adventure before the series changed studios and went modern with the next film. It also stars Ida Lupino as Holmes' client and George Zucco as Moriarty.
info_outlineIn the first half of this month's Lounge, Michael, Pax, and Rob are visited by Noel Thingvall. Topics include pets, death, Kraven the Hunter comics, Sherlock Holmes stories, Kamen Rider, X-Men comics, old Nerd Lunch episodes, Peter Dinklage as Hercule Poirot, and Ruth Ware's One Perfect Couple.
