I Love Lucifer

The Junkies are back on their regular beat this week, bringing you not one but two pop culture stories involving the Prince of Darkness. But first, they break down the emotional Benson-Stabler reunion in the long-running Law and Order SVU, a show that’s almost as old as Nicole. Then it’s on to the ethical questions about Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the questionable dance moves of Baron Zemo. You heard it here first: Nicole declares that Sharon Carter is the Power Broker. But she doesn’t watch the show, so take that with a grain of salt. Shauna and Hayley talk about shows that are overstaying their welcome (Flash!) vs the ones that ended just at the right time (Breaking Bad.) Alex wonders what’s up with the Clockwork Orange Droogs in the new Space Jam trailer (but Pepe Le Pew is too much?)

Pop Conspiracy Junkies

It’s official: pop culture is dead. R.I.P. Over a year of Covid-related cancellations, postponements and Zoom call-themed episodes have put the kibosh on entertainment in 2021. So this week, the Junkies are turning to a subject of endless fascination: conspiracy theories.

Why is the government dispatching so many of our beloved celebs, from Marilyn Monroe to the Notorious B.I.G.? How did a fake Avril Lavigne fool the world for so long? And how did we not all figure out that Nicolas Cage is totally a vampire? Discover all this and so much more on the all-new Pop Conspiracy Junkie Podcast.
