Model Behavior

Nicole is back! The Junkies welcome her return with a big discussion of Law and Order: SVU, and whether she really was auditioning to play a cadaver. Hayley describes her solo snowboarding honeymoon in Purgatory and the junky (not Junkie!) beaches in California, but everyone still wants to vacation there anyway. Shauna delves into Jupiter’s Legacy and how it ranks next to The Boys and Invincible. Alex reviews Those Who Wish Me Dead and Together Together, and rates them by how much action the main characters get, and Alex explores the viral story of WingStop getting naughty on Twitter, while Shauna learns of the spicy texts between Olivia Munn and Chris Pine. This may be our horniest episode ever (excluding Benson and Stabler, who took 22 years to get to first base.) Then Hayley and Nicole discuss the Queens of Mean, salty Ellen DeGeneres and bully Chrissy Teigen, whose name we are not going to pronounce correctly anymore.

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!

Spoiling The Matrix

This episode was recorded on 4.20. Just saying. Shauna does a bollocks Posh Spice impersonation, but Nicole rocks her Chicago accent. Hayley and Alex dish on everything good from Falcon and the Winter Soldier (and that special guest – spoilers!) and speaking of spoilers, Shauna brings you the mind-blowing truth about The Matrix (1999.) Nicole can’t place Mark McGrath from The Masked Singer but she does bring you the best in baseball from this week. Speaking of sports, Jake Paul had another fight and the best part of it was Pete Davidson mocking everyone. Hayley is all about the feel-good comedy of Tom Papa, and Alex brings you a pop culture antidote for all of the bad news we’ve been dealing with this week (and every week). Link to Hype Man in show notes.
