This week on Geek Girl, we’re talking 1950s Creature Features—plus one from the 1980s, for folks who don’t have Hulu Live: “Rodan” (1956), The Blob” (1958), The Fly” (1958), and “The Fly” (1986).

This week we celebrated Hanksgiving by watching lots of Tom Hanks movies/shows/creations. Official homework is “Cast Away” and “Finch.”

Happy Soupiversary, part 2! In this Very Special Anniversary Podcast, we have chats with Cort, Scot, and Erik about their time on Geek Girl Soup—going back eight years!

Happy Soupiversary! It’s Geek Girl Soup’s 10th Anniversary, and the original quartet is here in part 1 of our celebration. (Welcome back, Amelia and Chris!)

This week on Geek Girl Soup, it’s Susan’s choice with a diametrically opposed movie and TV show: “Riders of Justice” and “Wrecked.”

This week on Geek Girl Soup, our theme is Musicians Who Movie. (Yes, we’re verbing nouns again.) That is, musicians who got into acting. We picked two movies showcasing four musicians: “Palmer” with Justin Timberlake and “Training Day” with Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre.

In this bonus podcast, Pat (@patman23) jumped into the Geeky soup to have a spoilery chat about Dune (the 2021 and 1984 films and the book).

Happy Halloween! As far as Cort is concerned, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Not that she doesn’t watch horror films all… year… long!

This week we discuss “actors who music”—that is, actors who are also musicians. There are lots out there, so we sampled three: Awkwafina, Oscar Isaac, and Jada Pinkett Smith. We watched one episode from one show and listened to at least one song from each actor/musician.

It’s Teacher Appreciation Day (appreciate teachers every day, you). So, we watched some comedy, action, & drama centered around teachers. Thanks for all you do: AP Bio, The Substitute, Stand & Deliver, The Principal, Lean on Me, Dangerous Minds, Akeelah & the Bee.

This week we’re talking about films & shows with Regina King.

This week we didn’t watch The View. Ok, maybe a little to see what Whoopi’s doing now. We caught up on some of her movies/shows we hadn’t seen before or wanted to revisit.

We discuss La Casa de Papel/Money Heist S5 part 1 (Netflix). The series will conclude in December.

It’s Idris Elba’s birthday, so we watched a few shows/movies (good and “bad”) other than The Wire & Luther, which are excellent.

This week we’re going to Norway (on the screen only). We practiced our language skills just a little bit & we’d love to practice with anyone who’s willing. Here are just a few of the shows on our watchlist.

On this week’s podcast, we talked about disaster films (#thanks2020): Hours, The Tower, Pandora, Aftershock: Earthquake in New York.

This week we’re watching some of Susan’s mother’s favorite films in honor of her Memorial/birthday weekend on August 15th.

This week we discuss movies on Gaslighting, but start with a recap of Olympics events of the week and other things we watched.

On this week’s podcast we’re watching more sports: Ted Lasso Season 2 episode 1 Olympics-related films, & more Olympic events.

We prepared for The Olympics this week by discussing what events we will watch, a biopic, and several documentaries about Olympic athletes.
