GGS 11.41 Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath!
Bob Odenkirk: Action hero? You bet your butt! And, boy, is he full of wrath, which just happens to be our topic here this week with our 7 Deadly Sins theme. We’re chatting about the 2021 film “Nobody.”
GGS 11.40 One & Done 8: Firefly
This week, the Geek Girls (and Chris) take a ride with Captain Tightpants and the crew of the Serenity for an extra special One and Done episode. That’s right. This week we marathoned all fourteen episodes of prematurely canceled Fox series, “Firefly” and the follow-up movie, “Serenity”.
GGS 11.39 Hot Vampire Summer 2: Bon Temps Boogaloo
This week at Geek Girl Soup, it’s back to more hot vampires with… “The Northman”! What, you say? That’s not a vampire flick! Well, it all depends on how you look at it. Just ask Alexander Skarsgard (aka “True Blood’s” Vampire Eric Northman—NORTHMAN, ahem). He’ll tell you that this is essentially Eric’s backstory. So, yes, vampire flick!
GGS 11.38 Christmas in July
Merry Christmas in July! We’ve got a treat for you this year. No standard Christmas fare. Oh, no. We went in a different direction. We gifted (ugh, not too keen on that verb!) ourselves a super-fun non-Christmas film (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) and a sort-of Christmas flick that was so junky as to be uproarious fun (“Christmas Twister”).
GGS 11.37 Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony
This week we’re officially back on our theme of the 7 Deadly Sins with gluttony: “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”! Artificial intelligence. The environment. Climate. Disaster. Nerds. Daddy issues. Science, bitches. And, yes, pure gluttony. Kinda the perfect movie for Geek Girl Soup!
GGS 11.36 Justice Is Served
Geek Girl Soup is not just a bit disappointed with the recent SCOTUS rulings on all the things. So, for Kelly’s birthday, she chose the theme of Justice is Served. We watched three films and one documentary series in which justice is, yes, served—to our approval: The Innocence Files, My Cousin Vinny, The Rainmaker, and And Justice for All.
GGS 11.35 One & Done 7: Mad Dogs
This week, the Geek Girls (and guy) take a trip to Belize… but not that kind! (Yes, Saul Goodman returns on July 11th, but that’s another podcast!) We’re back on our monthly One-and-Done theme with Amazon Prime’s “Mad Dog’s” (U.S.).
GGS 11.34 Hot Vampire Summer: True Blood
It’s a Hot Vampire Summer—part 1—here at Geek Girl Soup! This week, we rewatched as much of HBO’s “True Blood” as we could fit in. Well, we watched most of seasons 1 through 5 and the series finale.
GGS 11.33 Tribeca at Home
This week we “attended” the 2022 Tribeca at Home film festival. We watched as many shorts, features, documentaries, and narrative films as we could bear.
GGS 11.32 Seven Deadly Sins: Envy
This week at Geek Girl Soup, we’re continuing with our 7 Deadly Sins theme. This time, we’re talking envy with “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (SHO).
GGS 11.31 Guilty Pleasures
Grab your popcorn and settle in as Geek Girl Soup gets extra messy with a deep dive into our favorite guilty pleasures. One person’s trash tv is certainly another’s treasure trove of good times. Amelia and Susan breakdown the list of shows they’ve been watching.
GGS 11.30 One & Done 6: Terriers
What happens when you pair up an alcoholic ex-cop and his best friend who also happens to be a former criminal? You get “Terriers” (Hulu), this month’s entry into Geek Girl Soup’s One and Done series. Airing just 13 episodes in 2010 before being canceled, “Terriers” follows Hank Dolworth (Donal Logue) and Britt Pollack (Michael Raymond-James) as two unlicensed private investigators who take rather extreme license in doing things their way—which is not always exactly the legal way.
GGS 11.29 May of Thrones 2: Dracarys Boogaloo
It’s May of Thrones, Part 2: Dracarys Boogaloo! This week we focus on Daenerys and her “sudden turn” in “The Bells.” We also spend some time discussing Jon and Sansa’s relationship in “Battle of the Bastards.” (Zig, Rickon, zig!)
GGS 11.28 May of Thrones
It’s May of Thrones, Part 1! Yeah, we could talk Thrones all month long. But we’re doing it in two parts. In this first episode, we discuss highlights from what got us hooked on the series (hint: “The things I do….”), s1 e9 “Baelor,” Arya’s journey, expectations of book readers, HBO Max’s excellent listing of “the best of” by character (sorry, Bran!), s7 e1 “The Spoils of War,” some of our favorite quotes, and some other random favorite moments from the entire series.
GGS 11.27 Seven Deadly Sins: LUST
This week at Geek Girl Soup, we’re back to the Seven Deadly Sins with Lust. We watched “Lust Stories” and “The Principles of Pleasure,” both on Netflix and both centered on women… which led to an entire discussion on the current anti-woman movement happening in this country. Yes, that’s exactly what it is, an anti-woman movement.
GGS 11.26 One & Done 5: Profit
This week at Geek Girl Soup, we’re back to our monthly One-and-Done series with Fox’s 1996 drama “Profit.” Raised in a Gracen & Gracen cardboard box (yes, you read that right), Jim Profit gets a job at G&G after a senior vice president has a “heart attack” and dies. Profit wants to run the whole company and will do anything he can to assume power, including framing his boss for murder.
GGS 11.25 TWD…WTF?!
What happens when you haven’t watched “The Walking Dead” since three minutes into episode 7.2 in October 2016 and you jump back in with episode 11.9 in February 2022? You get a lot of sighing! That’s what happened this week when Kelly joined the usual Zombie Gang of Susan, Cort, and Erik to discuss The Walking Dead Universe.
GGS 11.24 The Heist
This week we’ve gathered a team of podcasters, each with a very specific set of skills. Can they pull off the job? It’s a Geek Girl Soup heist episode with a discussion of a few episodes of “The Magicians,” “Leverage,” ant the movie “Heat.”
GGS 11.23 Easter Special: Midnight Mass
This week on Geek Girl Soup, we’re “celebrating” Easter with Netflix’s “Midnight Mass.” Spoilers abound in the episode as we discuss what happens to a sleepy island community when a mysterious, charismatic young priest takes over the church when the beloved much-older monsignor takes a sick leave.
Bonus: Severance
In this bonus episode of the Geek Girl Soup Podcast, we’re talking about the most excellent Apple TV+ series “Severance.” If you haven’t seen it, please drop everything and go watch it! If you don’t have Apple TV+, why not???
