It’s our 9th Annual rewatch of The Leftovers. We’re still here. Joining us to discuss Departure Day is Poodle from the Reality Gays podcast. We discuss upcoming films and our recommendations for the week. Poodle breaks down his thoughts on our favorite Mapleton/Miracle residents. Which reality show environment do you think Nora and Patti thrive in? Could you see Tommy as a Love Island bombshell? Kelly pulls a Laurie and digs deep into the psyche of each of our main characters. Apologies, we did have a few audio issues during the recording. Almost like we were transmitting to wherever Nora went to see her departed loved ones. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

A quick note before the Sudden Departure....

Susan & Cort are holding down the podcast while Kelly is away, which means there are more squirrels than usual and they are running the show. They take a trip back to 2006 to revisit movies they loved, movies they struggled to finish, and what might deserve a rewatch. Along the way, they discuss the latest entertainment news, upcoming releases, and the ongoing chaos of Beyond the Gates. What was the best movie year, 1999 or 2006? We really want to know!! Geek on & feed the squirrels. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com
