GGS 12.01 The Leftovers 5th Annual Rewatch

It’s the Geek Girls’ favorite episode of the year… the annual rewatch of HBO’s “The Leftovers”! This is our 5th time doing it—not our 5th time watching, mind you. We’ve lost count of that. This year, we’re focusing on faith and lies, specifically with Keven and Nora.

GGS 11.48: 7 Deadly Sins: Pride

We are finishing off our 7 Deadly Sins theme with one hell of a movie: “The Devil’s Advocate.” For us, this movie represents pride. For Al Pacino’s John Milton/The Devil, it’s vanity. Cort looked it up, and, technically, vanity is an excess of pride. So, we’re cool.

GGS 11.45 One & Done 9: Heathers

You’ve seen the movie. But have you watched the now-canceled series? For this month’s One-and-Done, we’re chatting about “Heathers”—the trying-a-bit-too-hard series that’s based-on, riffed-off-of, an homage-to the Winona Ryder/Christian Slater film from 1988.

GGS 11.44 7 Deadly Sins: Sloth

We are on the penultimate sin of our 7 Deadly Sins theme. (Are there really only seven? Seems like there should be more.) This time we’re talking about sloth with the Pixar movie “Wall-E.” Yes, it works, in a twisty sort of way.

GGS 11.43 Hot Vampire Summer Part 3: What We Do in the Shadows

What do YOU do in the shadows? That’s what we’re discussing this week for part 3 of Hot Vampire Summer: “What We Do in the Shadows” (Hulu). In this fabulous mockumentary series, created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, we follow four vampires who live together with their familiar. Three of the vampires are the “proper” blood-sucking kind, while the fourth is of the energy-sucking kind.

GGS 11.42 Island Soupnado

Months ago, we read a post by Eric Eidelstein on Twitter in which he challenged followers to pick one movie that “encompasses everything there is to know about you—your values, your fantasies, and your fears.” Well, challenge accepted!

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.).

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.
