Geek Girl Soup

It’s a tidal wave of geekery this episode!! This week, Susan, Kelly, & Cort discuss World Tsunami Awareness Day with a look at some memorable disaster films and remembrances of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Some of the documentaries and movies on our lists: The Impossible, The Wave, Deep Impact, and The Day After Tomorrow. We also watched a few disaster films (so you don’t have to) that were actual disasters. We also pay tribute to two beloved Star Trek actors, share recommendations and what’s coming up, and celebrate Beyond the Gates’s Emmy victories. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to [email protected]

This episode is all about Cort! To celebrate Cort’s birthday, she quizzes on some of her favorite things. How well do we actually know this Geek Girl? We do a Marry, Kiss, Dump game, followed up by Poorly Explained Movies: Holiday Edition. (We discover quite a few Christmas movies we never knew existed.) Susan and Cort conclude with updates on Beyond the Gates. Happy Birthday, Cort! ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to [email protected]

It’s our 9th Annual rewatch of The Leftovers. We’re still here. Joining us to discuss Departure Day is Poodle from the Reality Gays podcast. We discuss upcoming films and our recommendations for the week. Poodle breaks down his thoughts on our favorite Mapleton/Miracle residents. Which reality show environment do you think Nora and Patti thrive in? Could you see Tommy as a Love Island bombshell? Kelly pulls a Laurie and digs deep into the psyche of each of our main characters. Apologies, we did have a few audio issues during the recording. Almost like we were transmitting to wherever Nora went to see her departed loved ones. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to [email protected]

A quick note before the Sudden Departure....

Susan & Cort are holding down the podcast while Kelly is away, which means there are more squirrels than usual and they are running the show. They take a trip back to 2006 to revisit movies they loved, movies they struggled to finish, and what might deserve a rewatch. Along the way, they discuss the latest entertainment news, upcoming releases, and the ongoing chaos of Beyond the Gates. What was the best movie year, 1999 or 2006? We really want to know!! Geek on & feed the squirrels. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to [email protected]

Awards season is in full effect! The girls discuss the 78th Primetime Emmys and the Creative Emmy Awards. We had high hopes for Widow’s Bay and somehow the night went even better than we thought it could. The horror-comedy series took home 14 awards! There were several other wins and moments that left us excited. Was the ceremony totally perfect…of course not. We dig into that as well. Our other big discussion? Practical Magic! Our beloved Owens Family is back and we definitely want more.
