Hey fellow nerds! Before you dive back into that gaming session or start your next binge-watch, here’s the deal with Couch Soup: we’re a completely independent pop culture site run by genuine fans who get just as hyped as you do about the latest games, comics, movies, and TV shows. No corporate overlords, no AI-generated content, just real people who know their Metroid from their Mass Effect.
Unlike the big corporate sites, we don’t chase clicks or stir up drama. Sure, we might have some hot takes (looking at you, controversial season finale), but they come from a place of genuine passion and respect for the creators and fandoms we cover.
Want to support what we do and join what we think is the coolest community of pop culture enthusiasts on the internet? Check out our supporter tiers – each packed with perks that’ll level up your fandom experience. Every contribution helps keep us independent and lets us keep nerding out with you!
Thanks for being part of our quest – now, back to our regularly scheduled geekery!
Founder of Redbear Films, the company behind Retro Replay. He is the author of the popular Softwire series and Executive Producer of the TV show, Con Man starring Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion. When he’s not making content with Drew, he’s building brands for Fortune 500 companies (again with Drew).
Until Dawn is the latest video game adaptation on the block. Has PlayStation done the game justice, or should they have not even bothered? Iain has some thoughts on the matter.
After a series of mixed results, where can DC go for fresh superhero story material without another reboot? The answer may be in the C-list characters from a little known but well-written comic series.
To defeat the Locust Horde we will need strength, courage, and...tissues? Come join the Gear-father Jake Brown as he takes us through his top emotional moments in the Gears Of War franchise.
