Geekscape 517: Hot Newz 64's Steve Sobel Touches Our Hearts!

from Geekscape · host Geekscape

Steve Sobel may not be a household name to many Geekscapists... but I think he should be! In the late 90s, Steve was the host of Hot Newz 64, a VERY short-lived Nintendo 64 promotional video that has since made a name for itself on the internet for being cringeworthy. But where is Steve now... and how does he deal with the internet bringing back his first paying gig in Hollywood? Does he have regrets about hosting the video? How does he deal with internet trolls? Is he even a gamer? We talk about all of this, get nostalgic for the 90s, discuss Steve's role in the next season of Westworld on HBO, how growing up in Miami in the 80s was exactly what you thought it would be and so much more! Enjoy! Check out Steve's original Hot Newz 64 video in all it's 90s glory! Subscribe to Geekscape on iTunes! Follow Jonathan on Twitter and Instagram! Join the Geekscape Forever Facebook Group!
