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).
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has been nominated for the Game of the Year at 2024’s Game Awards. Is this an injustice the world has never seen before, or should we just grit our teeth and bear it. Let’s discuss.
Alan Tudyk sits down with Couch Soup's own PJ Haarsma to discuss season 2 of Resident Alien. The discussion quickly goes off the rails as these two friends explore topics that have nothing to do about the show.
Lily K sat down with actor Desmond Chiam (Reef Break, The Shannara Chronicles, Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier) to talk about games, movies, and more.
