Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 This week, Susan and Cort celebrate Black freedom and storytelling by diving into the cultural feast that is Sinners, the latest masterpiece from Ryan Coogler. With vampires, music, history, and a whole lot of swag, Sinners is a film that refuses to be defined by a single genre—and the Geek Girl Soup crew is here for it.

  • Latest Love Island USA drama (Ace & Chelley are a mess, y’all)
  • Summer TV recommendations: Revival, Materialist, How to Train Your Dragon 2025, and more
  • Beyond the Gates soap recap: fake pregnancies, secret exes, and THAT slideshow
