Geek Heaven



"Joseph: Some shows you watch more for the fun of it, then you do for anything else."

"The Observer: Leave my city alone, Hollywood, please!"

Geek Heaven is a new, weekly, animated Podcast, hosted by a couple of guys with some unusual views. Joseph is a guy from California who likes taking a positive tack. The Observer is a gruff New Yorker and science fiction nut. Together, They Fight Crime they talk about movies, video games, TV, and geeky stuff.

Check out the series here. The site’s a bit bare-bones for now. That should change as they do more.

This series features examples of:

"Joseph: See you on the airwaves."
 * Accentuate the Negative: The Observer tries not to do this, but he falls into it.
 * Aerith and Bob: Joseph and The Observer
 * And Now for Something Completely Different: Their Tokusatsu segments, and when they talk about the law.
 * Berserk Button: The Observer hates Michael Bay’s Transformers movies.
 * Big Applesauce: The Observer gushes about New York City quite often.
 * Catch Phrase:

"The Observer: Don’t just judge a book by its Pilot."
 * The Observer has "Back in a flash," and "Sarcasm, people!"
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The first episode featured a tribute to Satoshi Kon.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The guys make use of some cool video game tracks, and their credits sequences come from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
 * Gosh Dang It to Heck: They try not to swear so much. Some Damns and Hells get through, though.
