MC Paul Barman is not the ultimate in geek rap — far from it in fact. Check out the upcoming documentary Nerdcore Rising about the Nerdcore scene and it’s frontman, MC Frontalot. With cameos from the likes of Weird Al and Brian Poshen this could get geeky.

Those of you watching Top Chef are probably annoyed, as I am, with contestant Marcel Vigneron. In the most recent episode this snotty “chef” paraded his exclusive dinner club where he and his friends use molecular gastronomy to create “food”.
