Savage Entanglements
The Junkies are shooting up a lot of pop culture this week, and it’s all for your benefit. Alex makes the acquaintance of little-known models Cindy Crawford and Gigi Hadid, while Hayley and Nicole celebrate the return of smokin’ hot daddy Chris Meloni (along with the various Laws and Orders) this week. Then the Junkies celebrate the new direction R. Kelly will be taking, try to make sense of the Pinkett-Smith marriage, and fret about what an IATSE strike will mean for fans of pop culture, aka all of us.

Blood, Bombs and Biceps
The Junkies welcome super-special guest Lauren Knight, Stallone Enthusiast (oh, and the Film and Events Programmer for Majestic Theaters, Phoenix) and they use their powers to erase their least favorite films from existence. Sorry, fan(s) of The Love Guru. Lauren tells everyone of the exciting new programs coming to the Majestic Theaters, formerly the Alamo Drafthouse. Then the Junkies start popping the best things to watch this week. Alex clues everyone in to See, the Jason Momoa show no one knows about. Shauna and Lauren bond over Sly’s ridiculous 1993 film Demolition Man, and Hayley reps Only Murders in the Building and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Finally, Nicole is down for that show everyone’s mom loves, Yellowstone, and Lauren hypes Vivo and Reservation Dogs. If love a good killing and you’ve ever wondered how the Kids’ Bop version of WAP would sound, this is the episode for you.

The Junkies also discuss James Gunn’s crazy direction on The Suicide Squad, Sebastian Stan’s lackluster voiceovers on What If…?, The Killers’ transcendent new album and David Spade’s sarcastic take on Bachelor in Paradise. Then it’s the week in pop culture, including a Hollywood ending in the Field of Dreams, immature shenanigans on the set of Titans, casting possibilities for Marvel’s Secret Invasion and the fate of Casa Bonita from South Park. And finally, we tease our upcoming episode devoted to Brendan Fraser and some of the Junkies give out their Venmo handles in case you want to manifest them some cash.
