14.39: Catching Up with The Last of Us
Manage episode 483264416 series 3449158
We’re back from the wilds of real life and diving straight into the post-apocalyptic drama of The Last of Us! In this episode, the Geek Girl Soup crew gets emotional, philosophical, and maybe a little fungal as we dissect Season 2 up through Episode 5 (“Feel Her Love”). SPOILERS!!!
From Joel’s gut-punch of an exit to the rise of the WLF and those chilling airborne cordyceps, we’ve got thoughts—and plenty of them. We talk revenge quests, moral ambiguity, Jeffrey Wright’s glorious entrance, and what it means to survive in a world where every decision echoes like a gunshot in a subway tunnel.
We also catch up on what we’ve been watching (👋 Conan O’Brien, 👀 Forever), mourn a few cancellations (RIP Found), and celebrate some good news (Beyond the Gates lives on!).
