2023/01/25

Christian Bale (“I’m Batman”)! Harry Melling (yes, cousin Dudley)! Toby Jones (character actor in, like, everything)! Timothy Spall (yes, Wormtail)! We had great expectations for this film. It is a good mystery, and two of us enjoyed it. It just didn’t get all the stars we had hoped to give it.“The Pale Blue Eye” follows Bale’s Augustus Landor as he investigates a gruesome murder at West Point. He is assisted by cadet Edgar Allan Poe. Yes, “quoth the Raven, ‘nevermore’” Poe.The film is

November 8th was a momentous day this year. That’s right; Geek Girl Soup’s favorite cable station/streaming service turned 50!We told y’all last week that we’d be doing a monthly One-and-Done episode today. But it turns out that we all hated “The Tick” (9-episode, live-action version). So, we talk about that for about three seconds then move on to discuss about some of the best TV shows and limited series ever made.

GGS 12.04: Cort’s Spooktacular Picks

The Geek Girl Soup Podcast ·

2022/11/02

For her birthday, Cort got to pick this week’s homework. Given her love of all-things-spooky, you can’t be surprised that we got a horror film (“Barbarian” on HBO Max) and a supernatural series (“The Girl in the Mirror” on Netflix).This episode is spoilerific! Like, blow-by-blow, slash-by-slash. So, if you want to know the stories of this film and show and don’t want to get spooked, then listening to this episode might be a good idea!Next week, it’s another One and Done with “The Tick” (9 episodes,

GGS 12.03 One and Done: Now and Again

The Geek Girl Soup Podcast ·

2022/10/28

Why would a show with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score get canceled? Because then-CBS-head Les Moonves wanted a bionic-man, spy-style, police-procedural drama. And what he got was a synthetic man with existential issues and family drama, a singing mentor/jailer, some sci-fi plots, and HBO-style overarching themes that were not-ready-for-network-TV.That’s what happened with CBS’s “Now and Again.” Add on that Moonves didn’t want to pay what it cost to shoot in Midtown Manhattan for a concept that he just

If a movie mom is “scary,” does that count as a monster flick? In the case of “Lou,” with Allison Janney and Jurnee Smollett, it does not. But that’s what we watched, along with “Beast” and “Werewolf at Night.”We mention applying for federal student loan forgiveness.

The Geek Girl Soup Podcast ·

2022/10/05

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.In this episode, you’ll hear us:• Plan a limited series “remake” of “The Devil’s Advocate” for Apple TV+ (Yo, writer friends! We’re looking at y’all!)• Wonder if God will forgive Keanu/Kevin• Discuss the time loop—and how that would make
