37 The State of Geek Culture (w/Reb Brown and Jim Martin)

Last week, we attended our local comic convention, Rhode Island Comic Con, with the goal of interviewing some of the cons amazing guest lineup for Hey You Geeks. Turns out, the con was a case-study on how not to run a convention. The geeks came in force, but the con just wasn’t equipped to handle the masses. This got us to thinking about the state of geek culture. As experiences have shown, geek culture is booming, but we wonder; Is this the peak? In the long shadow of geekdom, a sub-culture built from outcasts and niche obsessions, what does it mean to be a geek today? After pondering these questions, we end the show with the two fun interviews we did manage to grab at RI Comic Con, one with Reb Brown, the first Captain America, and the other with Sesame Street and Great Space Coaster puppeteer, Jim Martin.

39 The Force Awakens Trailer, Jared Leto’s Joker and more

This week on Hey You Geeks, we’re talking about the awesomeness that is the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. We’re doing a bit of speculating, a lot of geeking out and touching on some of the criticisms of the trailer, many of which are completely preposterous and disconcerting. This leads us to talk about the new Terminator film and sequels in Hollywood today, using film marketing as the basis for a debate on what we see as a lack of originality in and imminent implosion of movies as we know them. We’re also discussing the casting announcement of the Suicide Squad movie, with a debate on the pros and cons of Jared Leto in the role of Joker. Finally, we share some thoughts on news of Mark Hamill’s return to The Flash, Ryan Reynolds return as Deadpool, and more.
