Little Sweet, Little Salty

PCJ

Shauna and Nicole welcome actor Sam Primack, a Broadway and touring company actor, who has appeared in Dear Evan Hansen and The Addams Family to talk singing, dancing, and barbecue. After settling the crucial issue of whether pineapple belongs on pizza (to be eaten only under duress, apparently,) the Junkies move on to who was canceled this week and how much they deserved it. Shauna approves of Aaron Rodgers’ mustache getting engaged and Nicole enjoys having a fan of The Bachelor to dish with. Sam talks about growing up on the road, moving to New York, and how he is ready to betray anyone with a kiss, if the role of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar is casting.

Deadpool Is a Douche

PCJ

This week’s episode has everything! The Junkies talk cereal and we discover how much influence The Flintstones had on Montae’s childhood, Nicole salutes Captain Crunch and Shauna speaks in defense of the Trix Rabbit and it’s all part of this complete breakfast. Staying on the topic of food, the Junkies talk leftovers: the good, the bad and the stiff biscuits. There’s a mono alert on The Bachelor (not really) and the Junkies figure out which Sex and the City character they are (no one is a Charlotte,) and what they are going to be like when they are as old as Betty White. The Junkies debate which of the Avengers will hate Deadpool the most and call out America’s Smartass, Chris Evans. Whether you’re drinking a toast to The Rock (or drinking your sorrows) you’ll love this week’s episode.

Goodbye, Dumpster Fire Year

PCJ

Time to bid adieu to the Worst. Year. Ever. The Junkies do the year-end thing, from discussing their New Year’s Eve plans (with or without tequila) to lamenting everything that didn’t happen thanks to the pandemic, like college graduation, trips to Vegas and Pussy Riot. But 2020 had a few upsides: Nicole remembers the time she got to touch Faith Hill’s hand, Montae was a really good friend by sacrificing floor seats at a Kanye concert, and Shauna recalls the time she rocked a concert solo. Then the Junkies disclose their Pop Culture resolutions for the year: Nicole vows to be more of a dork, Shauna pledges to read more, Montae promises to bone up on Gray’s Anatomy and everyone puts Joe Rogan on notice. The Junkies declare what (and who) we should leave behind with the dregs of 2020 and what (and who) we will bring into 2021. Hint: we’re keeping masks (and you can buy one at Popculturejunkie.com!) And finally, we say goodbye to the celebs we lost this year. RIP Chadwick Boseman and Alex Trebek, et al

Waiting for Gadot: Wonder Woman 1984 Special

PCJ

Wonder Woman 1984 opens on December 25th, so the Junkies bring you the history of the Amazonian BDSM heroine. Nicole and Montae plan crime sprees in order to be saved by their favorite superheroes, which is extremely logical. The Junkies look back at Wonder Woman costumes through the ages, and rate them on attractiveness and the danger of accidental nip slips. Shauna plans her perfect superhero outfit, which has pockets big enough for a…taco? Find out how the portrayal of Wonder Women has changed over time, from the 1967 version whose mom nags her to get married, to the bada$$ warrior she is today.

“You Go, Chris!!”

PCJ

Mandalorian spoilers in 3…2…1…Pedro Pascale has an incredible mustache! You’ll hear it here first. Shauna asks should adults even have a favorite number? Nicole says yes, and the debate rages on. The Junkies dream-cast Star-Lord’s next polyamorous relationship and find out what happens when the men tell all. (It’s not pretty.) On the topic of not pretty, Shia LaBoeuf gets a shout-out, and obviously not the good kind. The Cleveland Indians’ imminent name change is celebrated, but the Cleveland Yankovics seems a dubious replacement. The Junkies sort through the massive quantity of new Disney-Marvel-Star Wars show announcements and Montae implores Marvel to not mess up the Blade reboot. Finally, the Junkies debate the design of the Junkies’ Choice Award – will it be shaped like a Bloody Mary or Mt. Rushmore?

  • A Wicked Holiday Romance December 19, 2024
    Olivia and Shauna find themselves on the Naughty List (again) this holiday season, so this episode is all about those holiday romance movies - the kind where big-city girls visit their hometowns and fall for a hunky carpenter/baker/farmer (or whatever) and learn the true meaning of Christmas. These movies are often associated with the Hallmark […]
