Happy New Year!

It’s not a typical New Year here at Geek Girl Soup. We’re ushering out 2023 with an apocalyptic film, Well, maybe that’s right on the nose for us! Today we’re chatting about Netflix’s “Leave the World Behind.”

This film was executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and directed by Sam Esmail (“Mr Robot”). It stars Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Myha’la, and Ethan Hawke.

We won’t say much here. Though spoilers abound in this episode! We’ll just say that Julia and Ethan are a married couple with two kids who rent a house on Long Island for a weekend. Mahershala is the owner of the house who shows up late at night with his daughter (Myha’la), wanting to stay there. The Internet, phones, and TV are all out. Chaos ensues!

Next week: “Society of the Snow.” Coming out on Netflix January 4.

Happy New Year!!
