We’re back from the wilds of real life and diving straight into the post-apocalyptic drama of The Last of Us ! In this episode, the Geek Girl Soup crew gets emotional, philosophical, and maybe a little fungal as we dissect Season 2 up through Episode 5 (“Feel Her Love”). SPOILERS!!! From Joel’s gut-punch of an exit to the rise of the WLF and those chilling airborne cordyceps, we’ve got thoughts—and plenty of them. We talk revenge quests, moral ambiguity, Jeffrey Wright’s glorious entrance, and what it means to survive in a world where every decision echoes like a gunshot in a subway tunnel. We also catch up on what we’ve been watching (👋 Conan O’Brien, 👀 Forever), mourn a few cancellations (RIP Found ), and celebrate some good news ( Beyond the Gates lives on!). Timestamps: 0:00 – Welcome back and catching up 5:00 – Entertainment news and random recs 28:55 – Cort’s Corner: Beyond the Gates drama 38:00 – The Last of Us deep dive (through S2E5) 1:04:00 – Spores, Scars, and Survivors 1:10:00 – Next week: Movies to celebrate Africa Liberation Day - Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us: Instagram @GeekGirlSoup BlueSky @GeekGirlSoup Continue the conversation on Facebook Listen to Cort's podcast with Brad at PureFandom.com Check out Susan’s movie stats on Letterboxd Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com Geek on!…

It’s a two-host ride with Susan and Cort this week while Kelly is on assignment. With no adult supervision, things get a little chaotic (in the best way). From cultural commentary and media clapbacks to in-depth TV talk and soap obsession, we’ve got it all. Come for the rants, stay for the joy—and a healthy dose of fun bullshit. Here’s what’s cookin’: News & Commentary [00:00:00] – We get real about American international travel vibes, selfish individualism vs. the collective “we”, and the importance of joy in dark times. Plus, Cort drops wisdom about emotional survival online. Recommendations [00:05:00] – Mike White’s spicy White Lotus quotes, Coffee Mate conspiracy, and Reality Gays explain edging (we’ll let them handle that one). Plus, a shoutout to the genius White POTUS SNL sketch. Main Topic: Soaps & Storylines [00:28:00] – Soap Corner takes center stage as Cort and Susan go deep into Beyond the Gates . We’re talking unhinged villains, legacy casting, wild wig reveals, and shady secrets. Danny’s redemption, Ted’s downfall, and May Sweeps predictions? It’s all here. Plus, a side of General Hospital nostalgia and a dash of Midnight Mass appreciation. Coming Next Week [01:02:00] – Maybe we’ll (finally) get into Midnight Mass when Kelly’s back. Expect more resurrection, repentance, and maybe a haunted White Lotus pitch? - Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us: Instagram @GeekGirlSoup BlueSky @GeekGirlSoup Continue the conversation on Facebook Listen to Cort's podcast with Brad at PureFandom.com Check out Susan’s movie stats on Letterboxd Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com Geek on!…

14.33: The Serial Killer You’ve Never Heard Of — And the Family that Refused to Stay Silent 1:12:35

8 weeks yang lalu1:12:35

1:12:35

—> After listening to this episode, Maria has this say: “I was just thinking about the irony of my podcast interview and how much of what I said is so relevant to mom passing away as we release the film (joy and pain!). And I had no idea mom was going to die.” <— In this unforgettable episode, we sit down with Maria Semander Crawford to discuss The Empty Chair , a short film that tells the story of her sister Elena’s murder by little-known serial killer Coral Eugene Watts—and the decades-long fight for justice that followed. This isn’t your typical true crime tale. It’s a deeply personal, emotional journey about grief, advocacy, and how one family refused to be silenced by a broken system. Maria opens up about the day her sister was murdered, the years of legal hurdles her family faced, and the extraordinary activism of their mother, Harriett Semander. Sadly Harriett passed away just before the film became available to buy. She did see it, though. As much as this story is about Elena, it's more so about Harriett. May she rest in peace. Along the way, we also discuss: Marvel’s mega-livestream casting chaos The cartoon apocalypse trend (seriously, what are they doing to Mickey Mouse?) TV picks including Happy Face , The Pitt , and more A Looney Tunes movie that surprisingly hits the apocalypse vibes 😆 Timestamps 00:00 — MCU overload, coming soon, and our recommendations 14:10 — Cort’s Corner ( Beyond the Gates ) 22:36 — Interview with Maria Semander Crawford begins 24:12 — The day Elena was murdered 31:04 — Who was Coral Eugene Watts? 44:29 — Why no one’s heard of him—and how close he came to being released 50:52 — Turning grief into activism 1:00:00 — Casting The Empty Chair and the film’s future 1:10:25 — Final thoughts and how you can help 🎬 Watch The Empty Chair Apple TV+ Prime Video Google Play 📝 Subscribe to the newsletter to stay updated on the campaign to turn this into a limited series. theemptychairmovie.com - Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us: Instagram @GeekGirlSoup BlueSky @GeekGirlSoup Continue the conversation on Facebook Listen to Cort's podcast with Brad at PureFandom.com Check out Susan’s movie stats on Letterboxd Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com Geek on!…

1:23:40

The theme this week is, obviously, Severance (season 2). But… we spend the first 39 minutes discussing other stuff. -> Ted Sarandos (Netflix) being a dick about Apple TV+. Two dudes on BlueSky being the best fans ever (after us) about Apple TV+. (We said what they said five years ago.) -> A few recommendations: Dope Thief (Apple for the win). Adolescence (Netflix, yes, we still like you.) -> Cort’s Corner, which has now taken over two corners! -> Then all the spoilers all the time about Severance s2. If you haven’t finished watching all of s2, you can listen to the first part of our episode. All the laughs. For us anyway. The title of this episode? If you know us at all, you’ll recognize a nod to The Leftovers , specifically s2. (Ooh, s2 of Severance and s2 of The Leftovers . What does it mean?!?) We’re not sure what that means. But we chat about all the mysteries, the answers, and the remaining questions about Severance . And guess what. We’re getting season 3, baby! (Hopefully it won’t take three years this time.) TIMESTAMPS 00:01:00 — Entertainment News & Apple Love 00:10:00 — Recommendations 00:19:00 — Coming Soon 00:20:00 — Fuck a fucking duck 00:24:30 — Dissecting Tyler Perry 00:30:00 — Cort’s Corner (Soap Talk — mostly Beyond the Gates ) 00:38:30 — Comment on how we've been recording for 55 minutes. I can't tell time. 00:39:00 — Severance Season 2 – Deep Dive [SPOILERS start here!] Helly R. and Helena, Mark S. and Mark Scout (and their complicated love triangle with Gemma and Ms. Casey) Cold Harbor and the meaning of reintegration Can Ms Cobel be trusted?

Love is in the air… or at least on our screens! (But really?) This week, we take a deep dive into the world of Turkish dramas, where romance meets melodrama in the most extravagant way possible. But before we get there, we’re serving up our usual mix of news, recommendations, and pop culture chatter. (See not just a few of our recommendations below.) From Sundance film discoveries to Beyoncé making Grammy history, there’s plenty to discuss. And, of course, we had to dissect Lovers Anonymous —and why it didn’t quite steal our hearts. Plus, we close out with a recap of Severance Season 2, Episode 3, and a sneak peek at next week’s episode. (Not the next episode of Severance . The next episode of Geek Girl Soup !) So grab some Turkish delight (or maybe just a strong cup of coffee) and settle in for another fun episode of Geek Girl Soup ! Timestamps & Segment Breakdown [00:00:00] Intro – We kick things off with our usual silliness and joke that you won’t get unless you’ve seen Severance s2 e3. (Actually, the only one of us who got it was the one who told the “joke”! By the way, no Severance spoilers until the very end.) [00:02:00] News & Pop Culture – Covering everything from political protests to Sundance’s best documentaries, the Grammys’ big wins, and upcoming releases like Beyond the Gates . (Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Doechii!) [00:18:30] Recommendations – From must-watch Sundance films to Mo Season 2, Black Snow , and Paradise , we’ve got your watchlist covered. (Oh, the list is soooo long! Just like this episode!) [00:36:00] Turkish Film/TV Discussion – The main event! We explore the structure of Turkish dramas, their rise in global popularity, and how they differ from American soaps. (They are just a bit like telenovelas, however!) [00:52:00] Lovers Anonymous Review – Why this Netflix rom-com didn’t quite hit the mark for us. (We do love Turkish film/tv in general, though!) [00:55:30] Turkish Recommendations from Cort – If Lovers Anonymous didn’t do it for you, here are some better options! (Again, the list is looooong. Cort does know her Turkish tv!) [01:10:00] Next Week Preview – Next week is Rush Hour 1, 2, and 3, all on Netflix. (Apparently, this movie franchise has had massive viewership recently. So, we’re jumping on the bandwagon!) [01:15:00] Severance Season 2, Episode 3 Recap – We break down the latest developments in the mind-bending Apple TV+ series. (Y’all know that we share SPOILERS!) Here are just a few of our recommendations for this week. (I wrote them down so you don’t have to. You’ve got a cat on your lap right now, don’t you?!) FROM SUNDANCE (Since these were just at Sundance, you probably won’t see them for a while. So, be on the lookout!) Andre is an Idiot Prime Minister How to Build a Library Seeds Atropia Didn’t Die OTHERS Ladies and Gentlemen: 50 Years of SNL Music Companion Paradise (We cannot recommend this Hulu enough.
