Nuke the Stars

Nuke and Jeannie once again try to analyze dreams while flying wildly off the rails. This episode includes a minute of dream analysis, Susan Saradon, Betty White, Running Into Boxes With The Stars, the return of Kermit Bane and other goofy voices. The opinions expressed by the hosts do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Sears or its affiliates.

Finally, rain and gaming nostalgia in one neat package! A trip down memory lane features a bunch of bands covering songs from important Nintendo games of Nuke's youth while Nuke discusses boyish wonder, root beer spews and boobs.

After senselessly demolishing time and space and crashing on an uncharted planet with abundant flora and something that sounds like fauna, Nuke fights boredom while awaiting rescue. The season premiere includes the buoyant Jeannie, dream interpretation, enough derailed conversations to provide a good foundation for a drinking game, dog attacks, social anxiety talk and Dr. Herbert West.

Nuke tells a delirious bedtime story.

Nuke says goodbye to a nerdy, fantastic workplace with this job-centric episode. Months of secret inner turmoil revealed! An exhaustive job search explored! Buttons on action figures pressed! And at the end of it all, the (possibly) final Newsroom Nerdery segment puts a cap on an era with an embarrassing bro hug.

Music music music music music... also, music. The gentle live notes of a MIDI-controller guide the listener through the host's electronic music past and all of its triumphs and failures. This episode includes in-depth discussion about composing, the trickiness of percussion, music's polarizing effect, concertinas, the listenin' revival and magical newsroom nerdery.

A special director's cut thingy includes intrepid pilot Nuke recapping more than a decade of dating follies, red beards, the joys of social anxiety, a look back at The Wolf Among Us, a review of The Walking Dead Game: Season 2: Episode 4, a look back at The Wire, a look forward to historic comet fun, and a double shot of newsroom nerdery.

Things take a turn for the literary in this audio adventure tale story. Nuke spruces up the joint before discussing Stephen King books, explaining why "The Wire" is cool, and serving up a double dollop of Newsroom Nerdery that completely ruins "Game of Thrones" for everyone. This episode is brought to you by the Pizza Hut Book It! program. Not really.

A woe-packed Episode 2 recaps weeks of natural and man-made forces conspiring to kill the host of this podcast. How does one defeat dangerous icy snowfalls, precipitous descents, bone-chilling temperatures, and a poisoned water supply? Find out in this week's exciting episode of "Nuke vs. the Polar Vortex Aquapocalypse."

REBOOT! Nuke decides to honor the thousands who died unnecessarily on Mar Sara with another goofy, self-indulgent podcast episode. Topics to start out this season are a close-to-home Jerry Seinfeld show, fat comedians, classic movie dissection of The King of Comedy, The Godfather, and The Godfather: Part II, jerky heroes, and special holiday-themed newsroom nerdery.

To cap off a year of directionless podcasting, Nuke goes full DJ to explore the world of video game music. Hence the musictacular. Songs are discussed, game music theory is mulled, and the definition of "crying" is debated. Featured game music includes tunes from Alan Wake, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Kart, the Deus Ex series, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Mirror's Edge, among many others.

Things take a personal turn as Nuke attempts to compare himself to a serial killer and still be liked by the audience. This episode includes more ziplining adventures, Dexter, killer teddy bears, DS game indecision, and exercising nerdery.

A harrowing newsroom tale based on a true story.
