Welcome to Geek Girl Soup! This week, Susan, Kelly, and Cort take a deep dive into award season, a nostalgic yet cringeworthy revisit of the Rush Hour franchise, and our latest TV obsessions (Severance and Paradise).

🏆 Award Season Rundown

We break down the winners from the DGA, PGA, and Critics Choice Awards—shouting out our faves (Shogun! Ripley! Baby Reindeer! Hacks!) and side-eyeing some snubs.

🎬 Rush Hour Rewatch

In a fit of nostalgia, we revisited the Rush Hour trilogy, and… oof. We discuss what holds up, what really doesn’t, and whether a Rush Hour 4 can (or should) happen. Spoiler: we have thoughts.

📺 Severance & Paradise

In this week’s TV corner:

Severance Season 2, Episode 4: “Woe’s Hollow” – Betrayals, campfire revelations, and consent issues that made us all say, “Wait… what?”

Paradise Season 1, Episode 4 – Halfway through the season, and we are obsessed. Is there another underground city? Who can we trust? And how much do we love Billy? (Answer: A lot.)
