A Slightly Geekier Direction
We are one Junkie short this week, so as Alex, Hayley and Shauna soldier on without Nicole, they decide to do a deep dive into Marvel content past and yet to come in the year 2021. After speculating on Nicole’s whereabouts, we learn Shauna finally got into Invincible, Alex is digging superhero comedy The Neighbor (El Vecino), and Hayley is all over the Lost spoof Wrecked this week. Speaking of shipwrecks, the Junkies salute the 22 year-long sexless voyage of Benson and Stabler before settling in to talk all things Marvel. the Junkies look back at the emotional journeys of WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Solder, and ahead to Loki (and everyone’s guilty pleasure Owen Wilson,) the Venom sequel, and getting drunk on the energy of seeing the next Marvel Phase 4 movies in the theater. Never fear, Nicole is back with the Junkies next week!

Which Junkie sat at the emo kids’ table in high school? Which one ate with the teachers? And which one got to skip class to go to Red Sox games? This episode reveals all. The Junkies give a shout out to the fans who are making us Big in Egypt (hey!), and propose their own musical version of The Breakfast Club. And an OnlyFans swimsuit edition. Nicole (and her dad) are digging Law and Order: Organized Crime and pretty much everyone is a fan of Stabler’s perfect peach. Alex drops the first (and maybe last) of his Haiku Movie Reviews. Sorry, Thunder Force; you’re getting dissed in 5-7-5. Shauna and Hayley take a spoilery look at Falcon and the Winter Soldier and agree that Sam needs to be the next Captain America, Bucky needs to get laid, and that Steve Rogers would never, ever do that.
