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.
