13.36: It Takes a Cult... and a Little Perjury

It's hurricane season, y'all, but we're riding out the storms with a piping hot bowl of Geek Girl Soup! This week, we dive deep into the Netflix docuseries "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult," as well as the twisty true crime saga of Robert Durst in HBO's "The Jinx" season 2.

Susan arranged to see the Reality Gays (podcast), Mattie and Poodle, perform live in Houston. They were totally hilarious, and Kelly is officially a fangirl.

We discuss the invasion of AI in filmmaking. Despite AI being a focus of the writers and actors strike in 2023, Sony Pictures Entertainment is moving quickly ahead to full-on adopt AI features.

We share what new releases we're excited to see this week, including "Under Paris" (Netflix) and "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" (cinema).

Next week: The Bad Boys franchise!
