Podcast: Geek Heaven

Geek Heaven - Your own brand of Paradise.

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:

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:
Joseph: See you on the airwaves.
- 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 Dangit To Heck: They try not to swear so much. Some Damns and Hells get through, though.
Gratuitous Japanese: The Observer uses honorifics when talking about Japanese artists.
Metaphorgotten:
The Observer: Don’t just judge a book by its Pilot.
Needs More Love: The second episode had a segment devoted to this.
One of Us: Joseph is obviously a Troper.
Podcast
Sarcasm Mode: Usually explicitly stated.
Schedule Slip: A fairly massive one around November 2010, but as of January 2011 they seem to be back. We hope.
Shout Out: The Observer likes name-checking some of his favorite Science Fiction television shows. The Stargate series gets a lot of attention.
- The Observer is also apparently a big fan of Law & Order.
Special Guest: They occasionally feature guests, though Dukemon has been the only one to recur.
Visual Pun: They like this kind of gag.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Invoked by The Observer.
The Observer: You told me to watch Romeo X Juliet. I take this as evidence that you don’t like me very much.
Wicked Cultured: The Observer seems to be cultivating this image in his text reviews, which constantly reference other media.
