It's been 20 years since LOST crashed onto our screens, and we're still obsessed. Fellow podcaster Brad Zipprich joins Susan, Kelly, and Cort as we revisit the show that left us all theorizing about polar bears, smoke monsters, and timey-wimey flashbacks. In this special episode, we dig into the legacy of LOST—from our favorite characters to the moments that made us cry, laugh, and scratch our heads.
💥 How did LOST change TV and fandom forever?
💥 Why did some of us binge it, while others... lost their way mid-season?
💥 What were your favorite WTF moments?
If you've ever wondered why a dog named Vincent was the island's true MVP or what the heck that finale really meant, this one's for you! So grab your Dharma jumpsuit, sit back, and relive the chaos with us.

In this week’s episode of Geek Girl Soup, Susan, Kelly, and Cort dive headfirst into the never-ending enigma of time! We’re talking time travel, and it’s about time we got around to it. From classic films like "Timecop" to mind-bending gems like "Happy Death Day", we explore the ever-changing rules of bending space-time.
And speaking of rules, we’ve got the latest on *streaming wars*—Hulu price hikes, bundles that make us cringe (or cheer?), and Netflix stepping into the ad game. Is it worth your hard-earned dollars? We hash it out. Plus, a rundown of the Emmy wins, our take on where shows like "The Bear" belong, and why the rules of time (and genre) need some fixing!

Get ready for some laughs and a few (okay, a lot of) tears as Susan and Amelia dive deep into the series finale of “The Good Place.” In this episode, the Geek Girl Soup duo reflects on the emotional impact of the show’s final season, their favorite moments, and, of course, the ugly crying that came with saying goodbye to Eleanor, Chidi, Janet, and the gang.
But wait! It’s not all tears—there’s plenty of fun talk about “Beetlejuice 2,” “Deadpool,” and some other recent movies and streaming series. Did we mention disco frogs and soul trains?
Major Highlights:
[00:01:00] The magic of “Beetlejuice 2”—why didn’t they make it a full-on musical?
[00:05:00] Deadpool, Wolverine, and movie theater anxiety—why some movies are worth the trip.
[00:06:00] Streaming picks for the week: “The Old Man” on Hulu and “Three Women.”
[00:08:00] Diving into “The Good Place” Season 4—Eleanor’s time as architect and Chidi’s mind wipe.
[00:13:00] Best supporting characters—who doesn’t love Derek, the Doorman, and Maya Rudolph’s Judge?
[00:20:00] That heartbreaking Chidi-Eleanor storyline—grab your tissues.
[00:24:00] Tahani’s ultimate decision—staying behind to help others.

In this episode of Geek Girl Soup, we're taking flight with "The Crow"! Join Susan, Kelly, and Cort as we swoop into a deep discussion about the original 1994 cult classic and the much-anticipated 2024 reboot.
🕊️ What’s the same, what’s changed? We’re comparing Eric Draven’s gothic resurrection in the ’90s to the new-age supernatural twists of the latest adaptation. Is the 2024 version a worthy successor, or does it fall flat? We’ve got some thoughts (and a few feathers to ruffle).
🎬 Behind the Feathers: From Bill Skarsgård’s brooding take on the Crow to FKA Twigs’ mysterious presence, we’re breaking down the performances, the visual style, and whether this new Crow can hold a candle to Brandon Lee’s iconic portrayal.
⚔️ Fight Scenes & Feelings: We’ll also discuss the differences in action, atmosphere, and emotional depth between the two films. Did the 2024 Crow give us chills, or just leave us cold? And what about that ending?
🔮 Geeky Tangents: Of course, we can’t help digressing into the world of TV shows, old favorites, and even a little DNC chat (because, why not?).
Join us as we unpack the crow’s nest and figure out if the 2024 version is a murder or just a murmur.
