) told me the rule of thumb is to use whichever one that would sound right if you removed the '<other> and' from the sentence. So... "so far it's just me/I" ... "me" wins.
It's not something people hear about.

That doesn't make any sense, though.
If he says "Him and I are going" you get "I are going"; if he says "Him and me are going" you get "Me are going." Neither makes any sense.
That said, it is always "him and I" if you want to be correct about things.

Furthermore, I have had english teachers say that "Me and Chuck" is informal use and not suitable for presentations or reports.

the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, so it's gonna be "I".
"him" and "me" are used when they are the object of the sentence.
Ergo, "She is talking to me and him" but also "It is only he and I that are going."
