Charity Twitch streamers have such a positive impact!

| Geek Girl Reviews Money Shot: The Pornhub Story | 10 avr. 2023 | 00:54:01 | |
Money Shot: The Pornhub Story is about, well, porn. But it's also not. It's about sexual exploitation, legal sex work, and the laws that have muddled everything up. With some thoughtful and knowledgeable from our community, we discuss this documentary in-depth, what FOSTA and SESTA mean for the sex work industry, and, above all, condemn the sexual exploitation on Pornhub and so many other pornography sites. Rest assured, we're going to dive into this topic, specifically sex work and ethical pornography, in a future episode. Find Money Shot: The Pornhub Story on Netflix What did you think?

| Geek Interview with Clarkisha Kent: Chatting All Things Fat Off, Fat On | 27 mars 2023 | 01:00:25 | |
Clarkisha Kent joins us to discuss her brand new book, Fat Off, Fat On: A Bit Bitch Manifesto. We had the pleasure of reading this book before its release, and it was really cool getting to chat with her about her writing and creative process. CW for childhood and family trauma, which is a big topic in her memoir. We briefly discuss family dynamics and trauma in this episode, too. Clarkisha shares her writing process, how she came to write her memoir before the western she's dreaming of, and what it's like being a first-time published author. About Clarkisha Kent Clarkisha Kent is a Nigerian-American writer, culture critic, former columnist, and author. Committed to telling inclusive stories via unique viewpoints from nigh-infancy, she is fascinated with using storytelling and cultural criticism not as a way to “overcome” or “transcend” her unique identities (as a fat and queer Black African woman), but as a way to explore them, celebrate them, affirm them, and most importantly, normalize them and make the world safe enough for people who share them to exist.

| Geek Discussion: Our PCOS Stories, or How Medicine Says FU to People With Uteruses | 13 févr. 2023 | 01:02:52 | |
PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a metabolic condition that so, so many women have, including hosts Amanda and Moni. In this episode, we talk about our own experiences with it, how we have coped over the years, and the long, frustrating journey with medical doctors. Let's get into what PCOS is, how it impacts the lives of the folks who have it, why the medical system consistently fails us, and then some shaving tips! We also talk about Dr. Felish Gersh, Amanda's PCOS doctor crush, and recommend checking her out, especially her book! Join us in Discord to chat about your experience with PCOS!

| Geek Discussion: You Do You (aka Why The Patriarchy Can S*ck It) | 06 févr. 2023 | 00:48:19 | |
You're not the same as anyone else, so why would you try to live your life to someone else's standards? We're so tired of the patriarchal society's defined linear path and the shame people feel (and GET) if they're not following along it perfectly. Fuck. That. Noise. You do you, boo. Live life on your own terms. March to the beat of your own drum. Do what makes you happy. Remember, it's okay to change your mind. It's okay to be different. It's okay to do your own thing. We got this thing called life. Join us in Discord to chat about doing what brings YOU joy!

| Geek Discussion: Geeky Ways to Stay Fit | 30 janv. 2023 | 00:52:04 | |
Us geeks love to get fit, too! And we love to have fun while doing it. Virtual Reality, FitBits, Apple Watches, Wii Fit, Ring Fit, accountability groups, and SO MUCH MORE. We think it's safe to say that both Moni and Amanda love Beat Sabre... but that's not the only geeky fitness hack they use. Amanda loves some Just Dance and some good ol' fashioned boxing, and Moni's been keeping up with yoga for over a year! We'd love to hear how you get fit, especially if you use any kind of video game or geeky accountability! Join us in Discord to chat about how you use geeky stuff to get fit!

As we gear down for some muuuuuch needed time off, we thought a good old fashioned Christmas episode was in order! It's tradition, after all. This year, we talk about what we're both doing over the holidays. Amanda's pretty busy and Moni's pretty chill - just standard for them both, really! But then Amanda poses the questions to Moni: What are your 3 top happiest moments this year? So it turned into quite a long episode and we really enjoyed recording it. Let us know your top moments from 2022 on social media or in our Discord! What did you think? Join us in Discord to chat about your thoughts on this MASSIVE topic!

| Geek Discussion: Jennifer Lawrence and The Women of Action Movies | 19 déc. 2022 | 00:37:28 | |
Jennifer Lawrence made some pretty controversial comments about women in action movies. Mainly - that she paved the way since no one had ever cast a woman as the lead in an action movie before. While she's factually incorrect, let's unpack the truth behind her statement! We get super into this, but in essence: while many action stars came before Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games (Sigourney Weaver, Sarah Conner, Charlie's Angels, Angelina Jolie... the list goes on and on), her role started a revolution. The Hunger Games was a masterpiece that started a whole new genre of women in dystopian action films, mainly geared towards a YA audience. So, while we totally acknowledge that her comments were factually inaccurate, they are also kind of true. Also, we just think Jennifer Lawrence is the BEST, please let celebrities make blunders, we don't need to drag everyone. Especially since she clarified her statement in a further interview.

| Geeking Out About Wakanda Forever: Just Incredible. | 05 déc. 2022 | 01:00:45 | |
Wakanda Forever is finally out! And we are getting right into it this super spoilery episode - so please come back to this one if you haven't seen Wakanda Forever and are worried about spoilers! Mild Spoilers Below! We talk about the overarching theme of grief that permeates this film. Shuri, Namor, and Ramonda all embody different expressions of grief. We talk about revenge and anger and how these emotions are also ways that grief can manifest. But this movie isn't all sadness - though you definitely want to bring tissues because man, what a fucking cryfest, seriously!! There is also SO MUCH Black Girl Power in this. Honestly just these women out here absolutely wiping the floor with their excellence, intelligence, and casual badassery. We also love the change the MCU made to Namor/(originally The Submariner) - Did you know he's one of the very first Marvel characters, having been introduced in the comics in 1939?? While they've kept some original aspects - his cute af ankle wings - and took some creative liberties with them (they fucking FLAP, yo), they've changed his origin story to be from Mesoamerica and this change ROCKS. We love the stories told, the history and oppression in this storyline. It's a hard watch, at times, but these stories need to be told how they actually were. No White Saviours! For the rest of our thoughts, definitely tune in to this episode! What did you think? Join us in Discord to chat about your thoughts on this MASSIVE topic!

| Geek Discussion: Morals in Entertainment: When do you walk away? | 21 nov. 2022 | 00:55:26 | |
How do you handle your morals regarding the entertainment you consume? This world is a wild place, full of dodgy people doing questionable things. So how do you navigate that? Some moral decisions are easier to make than others. H*rry P*tter and the TERF Queen? Yeah, walk away. Old Navy and their fatphobia or makeup brands and animal testing - these things maybe don't matter as much to you. Sexual harassment at game studios? Questionable. Fast fashion? Definitely a moral quandary that we can't fit into this episode! This is a big episode. There's a lot to discuss when it comes to this topic and we've really only scratched the surface. Some of our big points:

| Geek Girl Reviews Enola Holmes 2: The Real Game is Afoot! Historical Accuracy, Women Banding Together, and ACAB | 14 nov. 2022 | 00:45:23 | |
We watched Enola Holmes 2! And, in a rare surprise, we don't really agree on our opinion of the movie! Moni's biggest issue (and it's a good one!) is that the film portrays historical events in a not so accurate way. This brings up a discussion on the line between historical accuracy and creative storytelling - how much can you change history to suit a story? Here's what else we talked about:

| Geeking Out About She-Hulk: The Power of Women Supporting Women | 24 oct. 2022 | 00:49:40 | |
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is the most fun we've had watching a Marvel show. Maybe ever. It uses comedy to talk about a huge variety of topical issues super relevant to our society today. Self-acceptance, toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, women supporting women, women dating, looks and appearances, one-night stands, double standards, being fucking awesome at your job, and so much fucking more. We think it's important to be critical even of the shows that we love, so we are quite critical about She-Hulk. But that in no way detracts from how much we fucking LOVE this and everything it stands for. What did you think? Join us in Discord to continue the chat! Check Out Geek Herring!

| Geek Herring & Chill: The Games We're Playing | 05 sept. 2022 | 00:41:10 | |
We wanted to spend some time talking about the amazing games we've been playing lately! Moni has joined a CULT. The Cult of the Lamb, that is! She's been deep diving into this cute, addictive little game that's taken Twitch by storm. Not only is she playing live on Twitch with her community, she has a second save just for her to play offline. Amanda's just completed Lord Winklebottom Investigates, a cute AF point and click mystery adventure starring a gentlemanly giraffe. This game was developed by Charlotte Sutherland of Cave Monsters and was worth the wait. Amanda's also been playing Call of the Sea. While she's not quite finished yet, it's an enjoyable first person mystery adventure around an island in the South Pacific.

Ms Marvel is just about the most fun Marvel has ever had creating their TV shows. #Fact. There is so much to love about this show: the characters, the relatableness, the sincerity, the hilarity, the diversity.

Jasmin is THE Ms Marvel expert, and being both Muslim and Middle Eastern, we were even more excited to get her perspectives on what this show gets right. Which, great news, is a whole bunch!

A whole bunch of Partition history you probably didn't get taught in school. AND SO MUCH MORE LIKE ACTUAL SUPERHERO SHIT. Spoiler Warning There are ZERO spoiler free moments in this episode. If you haven't seen it (stop what you're doing immediately and go watch it), skip this episode and we'll see you next week! Let's get into Ms Marvel!

| Geeking Out About TwitchCon: What We Loved, What Could Have Been Better, and Queer Joy! | 01 août 2022 | 01:05:50 | |
We went to TwitchCon! And this is what we thought about it! TwitchCon Amsterdam, July 16&17. We met up with so many streamers and community members we know from Twitch and it was the best time we've had in a long time. We talk about some of the amazing panels we went to, notably the High Rollers actual play DnD podcast recording, the drag showcase, and the drag panel. We get all mushy about how much we love our Twitch friends. And we talk about some of the things we think could have been improved at Twitch, mainly the LGBTQIA+ panel and accessibility. We also both came home with COVID-19 - sad times! But we would absolutely do it again, maybe with a few modifications, because the mental health piece of TwitchCon and hanging out with our friends far outweighed being ill for a week.

| Geek Girl Reviews Heartstopper: Queer Joy & LGBTQIA+ Rep Done Right | 13 juin 2022 | 01:11:36 | |
Heartstopper just might be the very best show on Netflix right now... or in Moni's opinion, maybe ever! It follows a group of high school students who are all dealing with their queer identities in their own way. It's beautiful, candid, heartbreaking, and wonderful. This is the type of positive LGBTQIA+ representation that all shows need to have - and we WISH this was around when we were kids!! Have you watched it yet?

| Geek Girl Reviews Moon Knight: Dissociative Identity Disorder, Arab Superheroes, and Egyptian Iconography | 30 mai 2022 | 00:59:26 | |
Marvel's Moon Knight (available on Disney+) is over and we're in LOVE. Let's talk about Dissociative Identity Disorder, the Egyptian pantheon, and the introduction of Marvel's first Arab (and female!) superhero! Spoilers Ahead! We introduce just who the heck this relatively unknown superhero is, compliment Oscar Isaac on his incredible performance, and chat about the basic storyline of Moon Knight. We also HAVE to note that we're introduced to the very first Arab superhero, Layla as the Scarlet Scarab, who honestly is such a breath of fresh air. It helps that the director and much of the crew are Egyptian! Finally, and maybe most importantly, we talk about how Marvel Studies and Oscar Isaac have actually done a pretty spectacular job of accuractly portraining a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). We both recommend checking out Moon Knight if you haven't seen it yet! Check Out Geek Herring!

It's no secret that we absolutely adore Ed Nightingale, so if there's one interview you listen to EVER, it's this one. We thought we loved Ed before, but this chat seals the deal. Ed's journalistic integrity is everything we need right now. An absolute breath of fresh air in what is such a toxic, male-dominated industry. Yes, we know Ed's a white man, but he's doing so much to uplift marginalised voices in the games industry. We need more Ed's!

Disney+ has recently released the documentary Hysterical, released in 2021, and we knew we had to watch and review it. We think everyone should take a look at this documentary, that, from IMDb: "is an honest and hilarious backstage pass into the lives of some of stand-up comedy's most boundary-breaking women, exploring the hard-fought journey to become the voices of their generation and their gender."

| Geek Discussion: A.D.I.D.A.B. (All Day I Dream About Boobs) | 07 mars 2022 | 00:40:28 | |
Let's talk about boobs! We love boobs (okay Amanda loves boobs). We're covering the new inclusive Adidas ad, Victoria Secret's disabled models, and the fantastic outcome to the US Women's Soccer Team lawsuit! Have you seen the latest Adidas ad? It's full of boobs - beautiful, bare boobies that celebrate the fact that the beautiful breast comes in all shapes and sizes. Adidas is absolutely owning their inclusive marketing campaign and we are so glad to see them creating bras that support bigger boobs! We mention big boobs, small boobs, and trans boobs - all very important to note!! We also note that while this campaign is AWESOME, it does not have any trans representation in it - and this is something bra companies should definitely be including. Trans boobs need love and support, too! We're also talking about Victoria's Secret's inclusion of disabled models and think this is great. More and more lingerie companies are becoming diverse and inclusive - yay! Finally, we talk about the US Women's Soccer Team's successful lawsuit - we know we were talking about boobs, but this team wears sports bras so it TOTALLY FITS. Read about it here!

| Geek Girl Reviews Shadow and Bone: Into the Grishaverse with Vicky Brewster | 25 juin 2021 | 01:05:55 | |
Shadow and Bone is the latest YA high fantasy show taking Netflix by storm. We're joined by Grishaverse addict Vicky Brewster to talk about what we loved - and didn't so much love - from our first foray into this universe. About Vicky Brewster Vicky Brewster is a freelance editor, founder of Books Outside the Box (a spooky and speculative book subscription service), founder of The Writing Haunt horror writing retreat, and a PhD student. She's wearing lots of fantastical hats and it's awesome! Based on the books by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone season one is out now on Netflix. If you haven't seen Shadow and Bone or read the books and are wary of spoilers: HERE IS YOUR SPOILER WARNING. This episode is NOT spoiler free! We talk about what we love about the show (mainly our love of Jesper and Inej) and what we don't love so much - too much -yawn- lovey dovey stuff! Vicky is our pocket expert into all things Grisha and we're so grateful for her guiding us through this episode and answering all our burning questions. It's great to have an expert on the team! ;) Here's Thom (from Three Extra Lives) take on the whole show - it basically sums it up! I really enjoyed how this show started - the fold and the mystery behind, how it's been used for political gain however we never really get to learn much about it. There feels like a lot of forced romance, (like the witch and the fedyor being an big example) Like how the f are you in love after one episode, and the story overall is very predictable, however I really like the cast and still very much intrigued about the story. I'm at such a dilemma with this show because I don't think I could recommend it to anyone, however at the same time I'll be excited to check out season 2 to see if they get to flesh this world out some more!Thanks, Thom, for putting into words how we feel about this show. WE NEED MORE STORY! Bring on Season 2 for the continuation and all the other awesome stuff. Here's the Apple Podcasts link to the Shadow and Bones Netflix podcast Vicky mentions!

| Geek Discussion: Coming Out, Pride, and Identity | 11 juin 2021 | 00:44:50 | |
HAPPY PRIDE! We are so excited to celebrate Pride this month, not only because it's fucking PRIDE, it's also Moni's first pride as an out and proud asexual person! Welcome to the queer club, Moni! In this episode, we're talking alllll about Moni's coming out story and how she's perceived herself for all of her life. It's really fascinating to hear this from someone who realised their identity at 36 years of age. Congratulations, Moni, on figuring your shit out! We also talk about appearances and genitals, because what kind of episode would it be if we didn't? It's inappropriate and incredible, exactly how we like it. This year has been one of self-discovery for many. We've actually had quite a few people mention that Geek Herring has gotten way gayer over the years we've been doing this -- and also that Geek Herring makes you gay*. *Well, sure. We'll take it! What a weird badge of honour. Celebrating pride for both of us has been really different experiences. Amanda's been celebrating over 17 Prides in some way or another and Moni's never been to a Pride parade in her life. We're both valid for however we celebrate and recognise Pride! Because Pride matters. Pride is an important event in the LGBTQIA2+ community. We've lost so much - from the AIDs crisis, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, murders, and all that horrible stuff of humanity. It's no wonder there are so many people, like Moni, who haven't come out until later in life. We didn't have the role models or the safety to come out like Gen Z does, now. Finally, we want you to know that no matter how old you are, no matter how out you are, and no matter who you are: you matter. You are valid. Your identity is valid. This world just needs a bit more gosh darn love! Check Out Geek Herring!
