This week, Shauna tells the Junkies about the series , and that she’s been to Japan twice, not that she’s bragging. Olivia gives us all the horrifying details from the Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider expose series (and here’s a trigger warning because it includes sexual violence against children), and Nicole goes up to bat with a review of , a baseball movie starring Dennis Quaid. Then it’s time to dish on each Junkie’s pick for the most chaotic celebrity breakup in recent memory. Shauna chose the on-again/off-again setside romance of Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and she’s Team Bella all the way. Nicole reaches way back to the early days of to tell of the Kris and Caitlyn Jenner divorce, which leads to a game of ‘Who is Khloe’s Dad?’ Finally, Olivia pulls at the red strings of her conspiracy board to connect the players involved in the messy end of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship.

The Junkies briefly ponder the Unsolved Mystery of “What Happened to Kate Middleton?”, but out of respect to PCJ superfan King Charles III, the topic swerves to the umpteenth season of Survivor, and addictive reality shows in general. Then Shauna endeavors to explain the universe to Nicole and Olivia, but how do you adequately explain Spice? Then the Junkies plan a sleepover to watch and the perfect companion movies, and , and emphasize that this will be a drug-free triple feature,just in case you were wondering. Then on to this week’s topic, which isn’t the Roman Empire but also it’s not NOT the Roman Empire. The Junkies each confess what they think about at least once a day, and the answers may or may not surprise you. Make the PCJ podcast your daily obsession and listen now!

This week, the Junkies catch up and find that Nicole is still a Ride-or-Die for , even though the romance between Stabler and Benson hasn’t moved any closer to Smoochtown; Olivia binged a 55 part-TikTok series about a pathological liar, then tries to make Shauna think she doesn’t know who Gordon Ramsey is; and Shauna humblebrags that she has layers, like an onion, or an ogre, which will come as no surprise to any government agency that’s monitoring her Google searches. Then the Junkies explore the ‘Good for Her!’ Cinematic Universe, a genre that has at one end the body horror flick , and at the other, the far less gory , with being somewhere in the middle. It’s a genre whose mascot is a Lucille Bluth meme and often involves some very specific kinds of revenge. And although some of the protagonists in these ‘Good for Her!’ movies might not be able to convince a court of law that the bad guy had it coming, we in the audience are all silently agreeing: “Good for her.” Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-junkie/id1536737728 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W?si=6d2845539f0843c9 https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W?si=6d2845539f0843c9 Website: www.popculturejunkie.com http://www.popculturejunkie.com/ Facebook: PopCultureJunkiePodcast https://www.facebook.com/PopCultureJunkiePodcast Twitter: @PopJunkies http://twitter.com/popjunkies Instagram: @pop.culturejunkies http://instagram.com/pop.culturejunkies Threads: @pop.culturejunkies https://www.threads.net/@pop.culturejunkies Email: junkies@popculturejunkie.com https://popculturejunkie.com Shauna on Instagram: @shaunatrinidad https://www.instagram.com/shaunatrinidad/ Shauna on TikTok: @shaunatrinidad https://www.tiktok.com/@shaunatrinidad Shauna on Threads: @shaunatrinidad https://www.threads.net/@shaunatrinidad Nicole on Instagram: @nicole_eldridge https://www.instagram.com/nicole_eldridge/ Nicole on TikTok: @nicole_eldridge https://www.tiktok.com/@nicole_eldridge Olivia on Instagram: @livimariez https://www.instagram.com/livimariez/ Olivia on TikTok: @livyolife420 https://www.tiktok.com/@livyolife420
The Pop Culture Junkies are back and better than ever! The post-holiday break is over, and the Junkies tell each other what they’ve been up to since last they met. Find out how Nicole has a conduit directly to heaven, why Shauna is the Promise Ring Queen, and the details behind Olivia’s emotional breakdown over a fantasy book series. So relatable. Then the Junkies dive into the magic that is TikTok: an app that gives you a hit of dopamine that turns off the part of your brain that tells you no, don’t buy that. Nicole talks about experimenting with snail mucin (whatever that is), while Olivia was buying trendy water bottles long before Stanley cups were a thing, and Shauna was influenced to buy her husband a shirt with pictures of their cat which went wrong in the most hilarious way.

Shauna may be obsessed with the end of the world (movies, that is), but Olivia is not giving up until she gets the other Junkies hooked on her new fave book series involving the Fey (look for it on our next PCJ book club episode), and Nicole skipped the book and went straight to the movie based on the ‘Hunger Games’ prequel. Then the talk turned to Christmas movies, but not the kind where a big-city gal falls for a sweater-wearing down-home hunk. No, this episode is all about killer Santas, killer snowmen, and killer killers. Which seasonal slashers do the Junkies think really sleigh? Whether you’re on the naughty list or the nice list, you’ll have yourself a scary little Christmas if you unwrap this episode.

Olivia, Shauna and Nicole began reviewing the Britney Spears memoir in our last episode, but there was so much to say that we made it a two-parter. This time The Junkies talk about Britney’s fight against mental illness, tabloid journalism and the paparazzi, and her troubled marriage to Kevin Federline, which was bad enough – but things were about to get worse. The Junkies cover everything like the notorious head-shaving incident, the “Free Britney” movement, and of course her conservatorship, which pitted Britney against her father and her sister. Make sure you listen to the first part of our special Britney book coverage – it’s not that much “Work, Bitch.” Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-junkie/id1536737728 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W?si=6d2845539f0843c9 https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W?si=6d2845539f0843c9 Website: www.popculturejunkie.com http://www.popculturejunkie.com/ Facebook: PopCultureJunkiePodcast https://www.facebook.com/PopCultureJunkiePodcast Twitter: @PopJunkies http://twitter.com/popjunkies Instagram: @pop.culturejunkies http://instagram.com/pop.culturejunkies Threads: @pop.culturejunkies https://www.threads.net/@pop.culturejunkies Email: junkies@popculturejunkie.com https://popculturejunkie.com Shauna on Instagram: @shaunatrinidad https://www.instagram.com/shaunatrinidad/ Shauna on TikTok: @shaunatrinidad https://www.tiktok.com/@shaunatrinidad Shauna on Threads: @shaunatrinidad https://www.threads.net/@shaunatrinidad Nicole on Instagram: @nicole_eldridge https://www.instagram.com/nicole_eldridge/ Nicole on TikTok: @nicole_eldridge https://www.tiktok.com/@nicole_eldridge Olivia on Instagram: @livimariez https://www.instagram.com/livimariez/ Olivia on TikTok: @livyolife420 https://www.tiktok.com/@livyolife420
The inaugural episode of the features (what else?) Britney Spears’ memoir . Olivia, Shauna and Nicole read the eye-opening true story of The Princess of Pop, and they have a lot to say about Britney’s revelations – so much so that this is the first of two episodes covering the book. In this episode, we start with Spears’ humble origins in Kentwood, LA, to her entrance into pop culture via and , to her meteoric rise to megastardom as her music career takes off. And with every career high came personal lows, from her family’s generational trauma being impossible to escape (CW: suicide, mental illness), to her fraught relationship with Justin Timberlake, to being objectified on the news, to her headline-making brief Las Vegas nuptials with Jason Alexander (no, not the guy). There will be a lot more in the next episode of Pop Culture Junkie, so hit us baby, one more time.

It's nearly Halloween, and while Shauna and Olivia have thought out their costumes - sexy Freddy Krueger and Sexy Ghostface - but Nicole still needs some ideas. The Junkies vow to each try on a bald cap, a la Dr. Evil, but to share the same one, a la The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bald Cap. Somehow they make it make sense. On a more serious note, the Junkies then talk about the Final Girl and Scream Queen horror tropes, the symbolic and cultural influence of these horror heroes, and list some of the more iconic examples from horror film history. Finally, Nicole, Olivia and Shauna all put themselves in the cinematic universe of a horror franchise and describe their plans to be the last girl standing to deliver a killer last line at the end of the film.

The Junkies set the menu for their final meals should they ever end up on death row – which would never happen, of course – and they are all elaborate combinations of fine dining and fast food. Then, the discussion turns to (where else) true crime, and Nicole, Shauna and Olivia talk about the best documentaries and movies about real-life murders. They also discuss the phenomenon of serial killer groupies, the obvious disparity in which victims get media coverage, and the ethics of presenting these devastating events for our entertainment.

Hi Barbies! This episode, The Junkies talk about the Barbenheimer phenomenon, even though only one of them managed to make it happen (so far). Shauna remembers her Weird Barbie doll, and her propensity to leave them in compromising positions, while Nicole confesses she was more of a Polly Pocket fan. Also, Olivia has some American Girl dolls for sale, so if you’re interested, send a message, but don’t even try to get Shauna to give up her Beanie Babies. Next, The Junkies talk about the Barbie movie as a cultural phenomenon, and all the positive and negative reactions to a pretty great movie about a pretty great doll.

Nicole and Olivia both recently traveled (although not together) and they both indulged in documentaries while they were away. Olivia binged docs about weird religous cults and Nicole watched a show about road rage, and that should tell you everything you need to know about them. Shauna, meanwhile, is still a Marvel stan, and finally watched . Then she and the other Junkies try to rank the Scream movies, but they discover they are kind of the same movie over and over again. This week’s topic is child stars, and The Junkies note the tragedies (many) and the triumphs (far too few) of kids who have grown up in an industry that uses their cuteness and tosses them away when they’re grown.

The Junkies return to Phoenix Fan Fusion! This year, Nicole and Shauna hosted a panel about streaming or network television shows that were canceled too soon (looking at you, !) and discuss the shows they - and the audience - miss the most, and whether it's even worth it to get invested in new programs any more. Find out if any of your beloved but prematurely canceled shows made our list! We have a Patreon!

The Junkies welcome Olivia Rodi to the Pop Culture Junkie podcast, and Nicole and Shauna get to know her faves and fandoms. As she is a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Taylor Swift, Josie and the Pussycats, horror movies, true crime and celebrity gossip and conspiracy therories, it’s obvious she’s going to fit right in. After discussing whether Tupac is alive, Katy Perry is really Jon-Benet Ramsey and other hot takes, The Junkies take the conversation in a spicier direction, commenting on the hotness of Bill Hader (really!) and why Lucifer became unmissable after it moved from network TV to Netflix. Then Olivia, Nicole and Shauna discuss the impact of the ongoing WGA Strike, expressing solidarity with the cause while at the same time lamenting the shutdown of some of their favorite shows. Even so, we all stand with the writers here and hope they receive the compensation they deserve. We have a Patreon!

Nicole and Shauna had the dubious honor of attending a 20th Anniversary Screening of with Greg Sestero, and that led to a discussion of cult classics like , , The Cornetto Trilogy and more. Then Shauna remembers her favorite midnight movie experiences, and invites Nicole to lose her virginity with her soon. Moving from so-bad-they're-good movies to just plain bad movies, the Junkies then determine the worst movies they've ever seen. Spoiler alert: the name Adam Sandler is mentioned. We have a Patreon!

Hayley, Nicole and Shauna gather together for a bittersweet episode: Hayley the Brave is saying goodbye to the podcast to start a new and exciting chapter in her life. But first, Shauna reviews the and sequels in theaters now, Nicole reviews the docuseries , which is a Netflix show about golfers and not sexy spouse-swappers, in case you were wondering. Then Hayley explains why is superior to , if you must watch a Tarantino flick. Then, for her final episode, Hayley has challenged the Junkies to watch the first episode of one of her favorite shows: . Shauna and Nicole rate the show’s potential, discuss whether there’s a spark between Mulder and Scully from the get-go, and decide if they will now commit to watching all 11 seasons of the series.

On this extra-special edition of Pop Culture Junkie, Shauna is up extra early to talk to London-based singer, actor and activist Kate Nash. After bonding over Buffy the Vampire Slayer and how it empowered and validated teenage girls, Shauna and Kate discuss “f*** the patriarchy” music, the abysmal treatment of women by the media, and Kate’s time on the Netflix show GLOW. Kate also talks about her new comedy movie Coffee Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfM7oszztI0, where she stars as independent coffee shop owner Jo, who attempts to save her struggling business by entering the World Barista Championship, proving that it is possible to make a delicious – and winning – vegan latte.

The Junkies don't have much in the way of good goss this week, but they do have the sports report and Nicole sparks a conversation about women's basketball and the fashion-forward coach of Lousiana State University, Kim Mulkey. Shauna describes the bummer experience of watching The Whale, while Hayley describes how wasted three long hours of her life. Also this week, Hayley, Shauna and Nicole present their spring movie preview, looking at the trailers from , , , , , and . Is two Chris Pratt movies in one season too much?

The Junkies review , and recall how fun it was to see it together. Shauna enjoyed rooting for the bear, Nicole lauded Elizabeth Banks and her directorial skills, and Hayley enjoyed the reunion of cast members from her favorite show, . In other viewing news, Both Hayley and Shauna are on a Pedro Pascal binge while Nicole is finally, finally, a fan of . Speaking of Selena Gomez, The Junkies break down the Hailey Bieber/Kylie Jenner/Selena feud that was/is choking our social media feeds, and everyone is grateful they haven’t (yet!) reached the level of fame that makes people say hateful things in DMs and comment sections.

Hayley is using her sick time wisely by binging shows like with the still-ripped Joel McHale, and Shauna and Nicole have a friendly debate about whether should be popped or dropped, but everyone still loves Jennifer Coolidge, regardless. Then after discussing the new movie, The Junkies debate the validity (and pronunciation) of Tomatometers, and whether online criticism should play a part in the decision to see a movie, or if everyone should just listen to this podcast to know what to see. Then everyone confesses their cinematic guilty pleasures, though why anyone should feel guilty about loving is beyond us.

This week, Nicole is binging NASCAR content (go Chase Elliott!), Shauna renders a verdict on , and Hayley will make you believe that Nickelback is cool again. Then, after debating the merits of , The Junkies take a stroll through the uncanny valley for a look at just how creative artificial technology can be. In a world where there are apps that can generate art and literature, will we ever get to the point where robots will be able to entertain us? Intentionally, that is. Listen to The Junkies perform some Chatbot-generated scripts featuring Beyonce, Pete Davidson, and Cards Against Humanity, and decide for yourself if you’re ready for a world without human creativity.

The Junkies are back! Shauna has her life back after a tough month on the job, Nicole has returned from a working vacation (where working means binging ) and Hayley is no longer mesmerized by online sports betting. Speaking of sports, look for at least two of the Junkies to bare their shoulders – if not more! – at ‘Gronk Beach’, one of the many festivities planned in Phoenix as we prepare for the ‘Big Game.’ In other news, Nicole introduces us to the job description “giving pleasure for money,” Shauna can’t stop thinking about THAT episode of and Hayley wants very badly to ruin the latest episode of for Nicole. Next we talk about our girl Britney Spears, who is the subject of some very weird fan-generated conspiracy theories, visits from the police, and the unwanted attention of Perez Hilton (ew.)

The Junkies talk about how we came close to losing Hot Guy over the holidays, and then chat about the shows that they recently binged. Shauna started watching , Hayley is trying to make it through all of , even the remixed versions, and Nicole indulged in . (That IS a show, right?) Then The Junkies talk about concert tickets, and how much more affordable they used to be. Though Swiftgate brought home how dysfunctional the whole system has become, with dynamic pricing and bots ordering most of the seats, concert-goers have been frustrated with the Ticketmaster monopoly for decades. The Junkies talk about their personal experiences with the service, and discuss what artists (and buyers) ought to do to make things fair for us live music junkies.

Hayley, Nicole and Shauna are back and trading holiday tales of getting barfed on, playing matchmaker, and having a great time at the North Pole of Arizona. Who did what? You’ll have to listen to find out. Then The Junkies ring in 2023 with the obligatory look at the best of 2022, and by obligatory, we mean “really, really fun.” 2022 may have been sparkling and bitter, like a negroni sbagliato with prosecco, but 2023 is going to be a great year for pop culture, and we can’t wait to share it all with you.

Hayley, Nicole and Shauna reunite to celebrate the holidays Pop Culture Junkie-style: by talking about their favorite holiday movies. Shauna’s is Jingle All the Way, and she challenges everyone to do their best Schwarzenegger accent. Hayley stans Muppet Christmas Carol which begins a debate about which Muppet is the sexiest (the answer may surprise you!) And finally, Nicole’s favorite is Home Alone 2 (despite a cameo appearance by you-know-who) and maintains it’s better than the original. Which of the three movies is objectively the best? Also, the Junkies list other underrated holiday movie go-tos, and challenge popular opinion by dissing some beloved Christmas classics. Grab a mug of egg nog and park yourself under the mistletoe for this new holiday classic.

The 2010s were so fire, so lit, and so cringe, we just had to revisit our five-part series looking at the decade. In the 2010s, we had good times, probably, and bad times too, and pop culture was there to get us through it all. The Pop Culture Junkie Podcast is again bringing you the most memorable moments of the years 2010 through 2019 with our series We Love the 2010s. This week, Alex, Hayley, Nicole and Shauna give their hot takes on the years 2018 and 2019. In 2018, when we weren’t eating Tide Pods, we were arguing whether we heard “Yanny” or “Laurel”. It was the year of Childish Gambino, Cobra Kai and Crazy Rich Asians, We said “Thank U, Next” to Drake memes, changing Stephen Crowder’s mind and self-driving cars, but we loved The Haunting of Hill House, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and saying “Wakanda Forever!” 2019 was the (merciful) end of the decade, and in the final year of the 2010s, we learned that “Midsommar” could be a verb, Cats could have boobs (and buttholes!), Aunt Becky from Full House would do anything to get her kids into a good school, and Sonic the Hedgehog had human teeth. Shudder. Other things sparked joy, like a Real Housewife arguing with a cat, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian. And before you could say “Ok, Boomer,” the decade was over. 2018 Soundbites Bohemian Rhapsody | 20th Century Fox Cobra Kai | Netflix “Experts Warn of Tide Pod Challenge” – CBS News “The Hidden Meanings Behind Childish Gambino’s ‘This Is America’ Video” – Inside Edition Crazy Rich Asians | Warner Bros.

This week, Alex, Hayley, Nicole and Shauna give their hot takes on the years 2016 and 2017. 2016 was all about Stranger Things, like Baby Shark and Becky with the Good Hair, Pokémon Go and Girl Ghostbusters, clown sightings and perhaps stangest of all, the Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series. We went to La La Land and Couldn’t Stop the Feeling, and one movie tried to make us decide between batman and Superman (and we chose neither). And Finally, it was the year that we all said RIP to Harambe… and an unreal number of beloved celebrities. 2017 brought us te tragic (for bilionaires) Fyre Festival, gender reveal fires, and fidget spinners; Wonder Woman made us cheer on the big screen (finally) while The Handmaid’s Tale on the small screen had us panicking; we devoured TikTok, learned Spanish to sing “Despacito’, and while TV show revivals were all the rage, the film Get Out was as original as it was terrifying.
