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?

Naughty vs. Nice

PCJ

The Junkies talk side hustles and celebrity freebies, and let us know who made their Naughty and Nice lists this year. Mediocre dudes and the Worst Chris? Naughty, of course, but Guy Fieri and Lady Gaga make the Nice list. And Ariana Grande? You’ll have to listen to find out where she landed. In other news, Disney may soon be acquiring Nicole (among other things,) the Junkies plan a Vegas road trip to watch Logan Paul fight, and Ellen was just cringey. We’ve got mondo Mando spoilers, Shauna and Nicole discover they are nap buddies, and Montae breaks some good/bad Bachelorette news. And finally, go the the Pop Culture Junkie support group on Facebook and let us know who to nominate for the first annual Junkie’s Choice Awards.

“Magnum Pie”

PCJ

The Junkies assemble for a Thanksgiving feast consisting of a hard-boiled egg dipped in mayonnaise, hella-cheesy mac and cheese, and a TikTok snail, with Magnum Pie for dessert. Montae asks you to imagine getting a calm a**-whoopin’ from Denzel Washington, and the gang discusses the Sexiest Mustache Alive. Nicole and Shauna are diagnosed with Jungle Fever and Montae updates everyone on his quest to woo the next Bachelorette. On a more serious note, the Junkies pay tribute to the creator of the Ice Bucket Challenge and actor Kirby Morrow, as well as the late, great James Avery (Uncle Phil in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.) After some spoilers for The Masked Singer, the Junkies tell us what they are thankful for in the world of Pop Culture.

Do They Poop on TV?

PCJ

After a weather update, the Junkies band together to solve the mystery of who Megan Fox is boinking. Montae can’t wait to spill his really big news to the rest of the gang, and everyone shares in some “Oopsy Updates” Montae isn’t sure about makeup, but he’s definitely not wearing a dress. Shauna gives her best Keanu Reeves impression and Nicole ranks the cast of Friends. It should surprise no one that Ross is at the bottom.

    Olivia recently spent some time in San Francisco, giving her time to think about her proximity to the Zodiac Killer's turf (and to binge watch both Princess Diaries movies.) Shauna continues to brush up against the cool and the famous in her quest to save Arizona from itself by getting out the vote. Speaking of […]
