Welcome To The Neighbourhood definitely avoids the sophomore slump tendency.
Time to get your passports stamped, ’cause this week on Geek Girl Riot we’re traveling all over the geekdom: The Good Place, Doctor Who, and Star Wars.
We’re all about that k-drama and k-pop life here at Geek Girl Riot, and Maurene Goo joins us to share her love of Korean pop culture and also talk about her new YA novel ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’. Sam also gives us her report on ‘Adventure Time’ and Angie drops by for her take on Paula Hawkins’ new psychological thriller ‘Into the Water’.
Hear our Rioters share their feels for Master of None, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and hear some clips from the upcoming YA movie Everything, Everything.
Just in case you haven’t already enrolled as a squad member, we have nine reasons why Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be your new favorite show.
Hear Geek Girl Riot’s Sherin, Angie, Erin, and Meagan get together to discuss their favorite reads old and new, which characters they’re loving or hating right now, and get nerdy about all things wordy.
We’re kicking off our Whachudoin’? segment with comic book writer and creator Jeremy Whitley.
Manchester’s The 1975 aren’t known for common sounds, but on their latest release I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it they take that to another level. Employing a myriad of genres should make for chaos, but their shared dreamy indie-electronic undertones give the album a united front. Maybe it’s a mess, but it’s a well done one.
Every so often, a band comes along with a familiar lyric or guitar riff that forces you to make a comparison to another band you love.
With a perfect blend of punk, rock, and indie mashed together with pop sensibility, Purple’s (409) should come with a guarantee on the front cover: If it doesn’t put you in a party mood you deserve your money back.
