Susan and Cort dive into the Law & Order universe, connecting actors, episodes, and the wild web of Hollywood projects through their own version of Six Degrees of Separation. From surprise guest stars and missed casting opportunities to Netflix’s odd release models, and upcoming spinoffs, the Soup crew stir up plenty of TV and movie talk. Plus: recommendations you won’t want to miss, a little Beyond the Gates soapiness, and even some nostalgia for Melrose Place. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

This week, Susan, Cort, and Chris dive deep into the outrageous and brilliant return of South Park. From behind-the-scenes gossip to eye-popping sight gags, the gang breaks down the season 27 jaw-dropping premiere and why the show feels sharper than ever. They reminisce about their own history with South Park (including near run-ins with the creators), the lightning-fast six-day episode production cycle, and the unexpected revival of cultural relevancy that’s got millions tuning back in. It’s not all about South Park, though. We wander into other TV universes—Foundation, Smoke, Wednesday, the latest War of the Worlds, and even the questionable charm of sequels like Happy Gilmore 2 and Old Guard 2. Plus, a nostalgic detour into The Bionic Woman’s strangely dark finale. ___________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

Geek Girl Susan was in Los Angeles last week and finally got two of the Geek Guys together. So, this week, we present you with a Very Special carcast from LA! Susan and Chris visited the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and the La Brea Tar Pits. They joined Erik to help out with the 2024 Rose Parade float. Then they recorded this little episode for you from a bit of a noisy restaurant then from the car. We apologize for not delivering on our promised programming for this week, our Hanukkah episode. With Susan out of town and Kelly being sick, things went off the rails. But we’re sure you’ll be thrilled with this carcast! And Happy Hanukkah! Next week: Christmas with “Home for Christmas” (“Hjem til Jul”) and “I Hate Christmas” (“Odio il Natale”). Throw in “A Storm for Christmas” and “Over Christmas,” if you feel like it—all on Netflix. _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

God jul! Buon Natalie! Whether you’re going home for Christmas or you hate Christmas, we’ve got you covered. Or Netflix certainly does. In our first official Christmas episode of the season, we’re talking “Hjem til Jul” (“Home for Christmas”) and “Odio il Natale” (“I Hate Christmas”). It’s an annual event that we rewatch “Hjem til Jul,” this fabulous Norwegian rom com by Per-Olav Sørensen. He also created “A Storm for Christmas,” featuring some of the same actors from “Hjem til Jul.” “Hjem til Jul” is about a 30yo nurse who has 24 days to find a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas Eve dinner with her family. This show is absolutely adorable and full of laughs and joy. “Odio il Natale” is essentially an Italian remake of “Hjem til Jul” that takes place in Venice. Season two just came out last week. It’s also sweet and cheerful. Check them both out and make them part of your holiday tradition! Next week: More Christmas cheer with “Elf” (20th anniversary!) and “Die Hard” (35th anniversary!). _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

Can you believe it’s the 20th anniversary of “Elf” and the 35th anniversary of “Die Hard”?? This week, we’re talking about those Christmas movies (the official homework), plus not just a few others. You know, viewer’s choice! We all know and 100% agree that “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. Duh. But we learned this year that it is also a Hanukkah movie! You can read an article on that here. Two short gems that we watched this year are a couple of super-short pre-“South Park” bits made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone called “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs Frosty” and “The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs Santa.” Oh, my lord, amazing!! You can watch them here: “Jesus vs Frosty”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLk_NCc-j9c “Jesus vs Santa”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olMsAy8HTUo Next week: We celebrate Kwanzaa!

It’s really difficult to be surprised when you’re watching a biopic or historical drama. People tend to feel free to share “spoilers” since the thinking goes, “You can’t spoil something that already happened in real life.” True, but…. We’ve discovered that not quite everyone realized that “Society of the Snow” is based on a true story. And even fewer people—young people—have even heard of the story on which the film is based. We do “spoil” the film/story in this podcast episode. But the writer of these show notes, at least, is not spoiling anything when discussing the film in person. “Society of the Snow” is a new telling of the story of the 1972 plane that was carrying the Uruguayan men’s rugby team to Chile. For those of us of a certain age, that’s all we need to know to trigger our knowledge of the rest of the story. This writer discovered that her adult children knew nothing. So, she told them nothing—except to avoid reading anything about the film. Just go watch it. In this podcast episode, we discuss our thoughts and feelings about the film and what we learned from articles we read about the film. We go into a few “related” tangents about how the airline industry certainly has progressed since 1972… and what it may look like in the future. Next week: We discuss the AppleTV+ series “Monarch: The Legacy of Monsters.” The season-one finale is this Friday, January 12th! _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

This was an exhilarating first season of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” on AppleTV. This show locates us somewhere among all the recent Godzilla/Kong movies. No need to (re)watch everything right now. But we’re planning on doing so before season 2! We’ve got Godzilla and other titans, Lee Shaw played by two Russell men (Kurt and son Wyatt!), the wonderful Kiersey Clemons (do check out “Sweetheart”), and “Bradley Jackson’s” brother in “The Morning Show”! This episode is all spoilerific, of course. And I really don’t want to hint at any spoilers here because this show is tons of fun. So, give it a watch, and give us a listen! _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

A man has a code. And his code is foiled by, I don’t know, is it love and joy or Bisquik? Or is it the combination of all three? Does it have to be Bisquik? What if you use another brand of biscuits? (Bite your tongue!) All three of us Geek Girls agree that season 5 of “Fargo” is up there as a favorite. If you haven’t watched it, please do note that you do not need to watch any prior seasons to acquire love and joy from this season. This is an anthology series. Each season stands alone. And, slight spoiler, this season is a true standalone in that, unlike the other seasons, it really is unrelated to the others. At the beginning of this episode, we discuss our own code of “look, don’t touch!” This code is particularly useful when it comes to not contributing to the further destruction of coral reefs, not getting into trouble with mummified hands, and not causing future pandemics. For example, the zombie virus that will inevitably kill us all when it spills from our cocktails after melting out of the glacial ice it’s been locked in for the past thousands of years. This is no joke. Yes, there really is a company that is selling glacial ice to bars to put in cocktails. Why, you ask. Because you’re buying it. Duh. Then, quite timely really, The Guardian has a nice article on Jan 21, 2024, called “Arctic zombie viruses in Siberia could spark terrifying new pandemic, scientists warn.” I love their alternate term for said zombie viruses: Methuselah microbes, referring to the Biblical patriarch who lived to be 989. Still not as old as a zombie virus. But there you go. Alien egg? Single-cell organism in your spaceship? Ancient Egyptian scroll? A button next to a sign that reads, “Push to open the seventh level of Hell”? Remember the Geek Girl Soup code: Look, don’t touch! _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

It’s that time of the year again.  With the Film Independent Spirit Awards quickly approaching Susan, Cort, and Erik have some recommendations for you to check out. Which actor tops your list for “Best Lead Performance”?  Will American Fiction take top honors for “Best Feature” or will another 2023 film take the prize? Erik encourages everyone to check out The Zone of Interest as soon as it becomes available. He also shares his own personal thoughts on AppleTV+ show, Monarch and The Color Purple(2023). Spoiler Alert: this will be his last roundtable with the girls. Kidding! We love Erik! What are your thoughts on the practice of choosing to have all actors nominated in the “Best Lead Performance” category rather than breaking it down into separate categories for best male actor and best female actor? _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

Welcome to a re-cap of the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards! We here are Geek Girl Soup are members of Film Independent, so we get screeners and vote every year. Always so much fun! Happening more and more each year, we are seeing some Spirit Award nominees also nominated for an Oscar (and other awards). This year we’ve got overlap with “American Fiction,” “Past Lives,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” and “The Zone of Interest.” What makes the Spirit Awards so different from the usual suspects in the film and TV awards arena is that Film Independent focuses smaller, lower-budget films that highlight “uniqueness of vision, original[ity], and provocative subject matter.” Spirit Award films represent a diversity of people, cultures, and ideas, the likes of which you just don’t find in the other major awards shows. We always find some amazing gems amongst the nominees. Listen in to hear our reactions to and opinions of this year’s winners. SPOILER ALERT for “True Detective: Night Country.” Toward the end of this episode, we discuss season of “True Detective,” that just recently ended. We do share spoilers. Next week: “Spaceman” on Netflix. Directed by Johan Renck (director of “Chernobyl.” Starring Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan.

Then we discuss Tae-hwa Eom’s “Concrete Utopia” without spoilers since Susan and Cort hadn’t seen it yet. Listen in to hear what we like about each film, why they are hidden gems, and what kind of impact the films had on us. Next week: Apple TV+’s “STEVE! (martin).” Please do go watch!

The Smothers Brothers, Johnny Carson, Saturday Night Live, “The Jerk,” “All of Me,” “Only Murders in the Building.” Steve Martin has had a wild and crazy career. This week, te Geek Girls watched the stellar “STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces” on Apple TV+. We laughed and laughed while learning things about Steve Martin we never knew before. The first piece (labeled “then”) is all about Steve’s start in entertainment through the beginning  his acting career. The second piece (labeled “now”) covers Steve’s movie/TV career and other current events in Steve’s life. We highly recommend this show/these two films. If you don’t have Apple TV+, use this an opportunity to test it out for a months, and enjoy Apple’s other fabulous original programming. NOTE: We spoil some parts of the documentary, but we barely skim the surface. Next week: “The Good Place” season 1! _________________________ Original music by Garrett Thompson Follow us on social media: @GeekGirlSoup Email your questions and comments to GeekGirlSoup@gmail.com

We are so excited to have Geek Girl Amelia back with us for this episode on season 1 of “The Good Place”! We’re doing a rewatch of this beautiful four-season show. It’s just 50 episodes, if you’ve never watched and want to now! “The Good Place” ran from 2016 to 2020. It features Kristen Bell, Jameela Jamil, Ted Danson, Manny Jacinto, William Jackson Harper, and D’Arcy Carden. We follow four people who have ended up in the “good place” in the afterlife and how they get along with each, with the other residents of their neighborhood, and with Architect Michael and “not a robot” Janet. Deep philosophical lessons (literally) ensue when one of our gang discovers that their presence in the good place was a mistake! **Opening song prompted by Susan and generated by suno.ai.

The Geek Girl Soup crew dives into the mind-bending 2023 Japanese film “River,” the latest from director Junta Yamaguchi who also made the trippy time travel movie Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. In River, the guests and staff at a historic Kyoto hotel find themselves trapped in a recurring two-minute time loop. Susan, Kelly and Cort analyze the creative ways the characters deal with being stuck, from trying to solve the paradox to embracing the infinite redo for their personal agendas. They discuss how River both follows and deviates from typical time loop tropes established in films like “Groundhog Day.” The gang also gets philosophical about alternate timelines, parallel universes, and time paradoxes. Strap in for a fun, insightful conversation unpacking all the twists and turns of this unique sci-fi drama. Plus, hear about our recent concert experience seeing 1980s legends Adam Ant and The English Beat!
