Olivia has been globe-trotting (nation-trotting?) nearly as much as Nicole these days, but she has had time to binge season 3 of Regency-era sex-sation Bridgerton (and do her laundry). Nicole is still on a thriller book-kick, devouring Nerves of Steel about pilot Tammie Jo Shults and her daring emergency landing, and she and Shauna both consumed some Glen Powell content recently. Somehow that leads to a vote on which anthropormorphic rodent is the hottest, and sorry to say, but Glen came in last place. Then it’s on to the heart of this episode: celebrating Pride Month while looking back at the highs and lows of how pop culture has represented members of the LGBTQ community. From the ground-breaking 1968 movie The Queen to the 1990s and the increasing acceptance of gay characters on television to recent high profile movies like Moonlight, the Junkies talk about how much representation has increased – and how there is still so much room for improvement.
