Goodbye, Dumpster Fire Year

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

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.
