We’ll be honest: 2018 was full of trainwrecks and heartache. But there were some wonderful moments too, including all the #content that made our geeky little hearts sing. Hear our TV, film, books, and comics faves of 2018 throughout this week’s Geek Girl Riot as we dive into the moments that stood out—for better or for worse.

Your Fave Is Problematic
2018 was here to serve the tea and callout some of entertainment’s biggest names. Sherin, Alex, Kat, and Soma discuss where to draw the line, some of the worst cases, and the opportunity for growth and understanding of what is appropriate.

Women Took the Lead in 2018
In spite of everything, 2018 was an amazing year for women—our crew shoutout just a few of the leading ladies who inspired them.

How the State of the World Affects Your Health and Outlook
With headlines reading more and more like a dystopian satire with each passing day, it was hard to stay positive last year—not just mentally and emotionally but physically too. Our Rioters talk about self care and how the scary state of current society is affecting their wellbeing.

Positive Wrap Up Time!
Don’t panic, y’all, we wouldn’t leave you in a pit of despair—our ladies are ending the show on a high note, by sharing what they’re looking forward to most in 2019. Happy new year, Rioters, let’s make it a good one!
