This week’s Geek Girl Riot is so packed with the good stuff—the wrap up on Zack Snyder’s Justice League, plus The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, AND Irresistible—that our recording systems actually overheated. So there are a few technical hiccups…but our Rioters, as always, are here to get you fired up.
Oh boy, I was so excited to chat with the founder and CEO of Music Benefactors, Matt Lutz. Music Benefactors is “brand new company, taking a whole new approach to SEC registered crowdfunding with a sole focus on the music industry”—HOW COOL IS THAT!? Matt explained how he got his idea off the ground, what surprised him about the music industry, and recalled the last time he was able to hear live music before the pandemic.
Music Benefactors officially launched their first artist partnership with The Latin Dead and you can learn more about their mission here.

She actually may have a film or two coming soon. Tune in for plenty of laughs, maybe some tears, and find out if Wesam is a 5 or not. Enjoy! Marshalls….I would die for you. ~~~~~ YouTube► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIEy_lTyI57a4pJMB3RvD9w Instagram ► http://instagram.com/WesamsWorld Twitter ► https://twitter.com/Wesams_World Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Wesamsworld TikTok ► https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJDDXYLf/
WandaVision, Wa-WandaVision! The latest Geek Girl Riot gets into the Disney+ series for a spoiler-filled celebration. It might’ve been Agatha All Along, but GGR is really doing the most.
If you’ve been listening to the show for a while you know I love an honest account for how difficult it can be to be in the music industry. Well, this week YaSi completely delivered as she told her story and how she’s found herself where she is today. I won’t spoil it for you, but rejecting is something she had to cope with along the way. YaSi’s latest single “guilty” showcases her incredible vocals, and as you’ll learn, provided a pivotal spark in the writing process.
Take a listen to her latest single, “guilty”, streaming now.

This week we chinwag about Jess searching for her new apartment in LA. Afterward we chat with Valerie Morehouse, vocal coach for artists such as Sia, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, 5SOS, Brendon Urie, our very own Bowie Jane, and more.
Valerie’s journey started about twenty years ago, when she was diagnosed with debilitating nodules on her vocal cords. Having sung all her life, the idea of not being able to sing again was not an option. She devoted herself to finding out what causes nodules and how to get rid of and prevent them. Along the way, she worked with top laryngologists and speech therapists and found a passion for helping others overcome or prevent similar setbacks. She also prepares actors’ voices for stage, television, and film, including Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Tom Ellis (Lucifer), the cast of Nashville (ABC & CMT), and FOX sportscaster Joe Buck. Valerie also has her own podcast, LipRoll, which features conversations with her clients giving us an inside look at the industry.
This week on Geek Girl Riot we get into the mess of this year’s Golden Globes, before turning up the love for Raya and the Last Dragon, Us Again, and Boogie.
