We Remember We Love 2010 and 2011

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/10/20

The 2010s were so fire, so lit, and so cringe, we just had to revisit our five-part series looking at the decade. In the 2010s, we had good times, probably, and bad times too, and pop culture was there to get us through it all. The Pop Culture Junkie Podcast is again bringing you the most memorable moments of the years 2010 through 2019 with our series We Love the 2010s. This week, Alex, Hayley, Nicole and Shauna give their hot takes on the years 2010 and 2011.2010 was the year of Inception, iPads

Winona Ryder 101: Destination Wedding

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/10/13

The Junkies wrap up the Winona Ryder 101 lessons with 2018’s Destination Wedding, which may or may not be an actual movie. Winona teams up with Keanu Reeves (who may or may not be her actual husband) for the fourth time in this awkward and talky film oddity. While not the worst Winona movie they’ve had to watch (that would be Autumn in New York), Destination Wedding was still challenging for Nicole, who needed a break from the constant chatter, and Hayley, who felt the sex scene in this movie went

Thirty, Nerdy, & Thriving: Remember 'Ed?' with...

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/10/06

Well, shave my poodle! Pop Culture Junkie Hayley hosts Thirty, Nerdy, & Thriving, now part of the Pop Culture Entertainment Network. This episode is a love letter to the wonderfully weird world of Stuckeyville, and her favorite comedy drama of all time, NBC’s Ed. Ed ran from 2000-2004 and chronicled the life of Edward J. Stevens, a New York City lawyer who moves back to his hometown, buys the local bowling alley, and tries to win the heart of his high school crush. It starred Tom Cavanagh, Julie

Winona Ryder 101: Autumn in New York

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/09/29

Autumn in New York may be the movie that broke The Junkies. Hayley, Shauna and Nicole are not here for any of this movie’s nonsense: not the cringe factor of the age difference between Winona and her love interest Richard Gere, not the utterly unrealistic sex scenes, not for yet another Manic Pixie Dream Winona, and they are definitely not loving that the movie’s main theme is that a woman dying to make a man be better is somehow romantic. Oh, and all that poetry "Winona Dickinson" spouts is super

That Movie Is Fine with Lauren Knight

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/09/22

This week we revisit a special episode with Lauren Knight, co-host of the new podcast That Movie Is Fine, part of the Pop Culture Entertainment Network. The Junkies and Lauren use their powers to erase their least favorite films from existence. Sorry, fan(s) of The Love Guru. Then Alex clues everyone in to See, the Jason Momoa show no one knows about. Shauna and Lauren bond over Sly’s ridiculous 1993 film Demolition Man, and Hayley reps Only Murders in the Building and Shang-Chi and the Legend of

Keeping It 100

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/09/15

Shauna and Hayley celebrate the 100th episode of Pop Culture Junkie by keeping it old school. The Junkies talk about their favorite PCJ moments, like interviewing Brad Perry, hosting panels at Phoenix Fan Fusion, getting recognized at strip clubs, and engaging with dedicated fans. The Junkies talk about the best and worst of what’s happening now in pop culture now, like The Resort, Sandman, House of the Dragon, and The Black Phone. Then they dive into Marvel’s misogyny problem, try to figure out

Winona Ryder 101: Girl, Interrupted

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/09/08

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into one of beloved actor Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles by watching Girl, Interrupted, a passion project for Ryder, who bought the rights to the book and worked for seven years to get the film made. Winona plays Susanna, a troubled young woman who may or may not be mentally ill and who gets sent to a facility. This is the movie that officially turned all The Junkies bisexual…but it’s hard to blame them when you see Winona’s pixie cut and

Adorkable: Rachel Herrick

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/09/01

This week, the Junkies are excited to welcome Rachel Herrick, aka Adorkable Rachel, a Sesame Workshop-trained puppeteer who has lent her puppeteering skills to shows like The Afterparty and Crank Yankers. Rachel is also a voice actor, singer, writer, YouTuber, and a Marie Kondo-wannabe. Hayley is excited to talk all things Muppets with Rachel, while Nicole asks Rachel about her YouTube channel. Shauna is interested in the mechanics of puppeteering, and Alex wants to know the difference between

Winona Ryder 101: Reality Bites

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/08/25

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into one of beloved actor Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles by watching Reality Bites, the generation-defining (?) look at the whiny slackers of Gen X. Featuring Winona at her most appealing (and Ethan Hawke at his most annoying), the movie sets up a love triangle between the aimless Lainey (Ryder), the jobless Troy (Hawke) and director Ben Stiller’s character Michael, who has everything going for him but mysteriously wants to enter Winona’s den of

Winona Ryder 101: Heathers

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/08/11

This week the Junkies take an in-depth look into one of beloved actor Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles by watching Heathers, a dark satire on high school cliques, bullying, teenage suicide, and scrunchies. It’s Mean Girls, with murder! In this movie, Winona is the ultimate in chic adolescent cool by daring to be a Veronica in a sea of Heathers, and this movie has a ton of quotable lines, which The Junkies are happy to perform. Here in the time of high school lockdowns and active shooter drills in

A Degree in Pop Culture with Dr. Jeffrey Brown

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/08/04

What if you could get a degree in pop culture? You can! This week The Junkies consider going back in time to change their majors after talking to special guest Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Chair of the Department of Pop Culture at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. For the past 50 years, BGSU is the only university in the nation to have a Deparment of Popular Culture, and Dr. Brown easily convinces Alex, Shauna, Hayley and Nicole that getting an undergrad or Master’s Degree at BGSU

Winona Ryder 101: Beetlejuice

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/07/28

This week, The Junkies take another in-depth look into one of beloved actor Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles by watching Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, which is one of Ryder’s first big roles, and started her on the path to be cinema’s iconic goth chick. While Hayley and Shauna were already big fans of the movie, this was Nicole’s first watch, and spoiler: she loved the combination of horror and comedy. But what’s not to like, when you have the surprisingly likeable Alec Baldwin, sweet Geena Davis, the

Stranger Things Happen with Grant Goodman

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/07/21

This week The Junkies welcome an incredibly special guest; Grant Goodman, aka ‘Freak’ from Stranger Things. Grant welcomes Shauna, Hayley and Alex into the Hellfire Club, and talks about his time on the hit show’s fourth season, covering topics like telling the Duffer Brothers apart with their masks on, working around Covid lockdowns, how he was the master of the reaction shot, and the rise of Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn. Grant has been working since he was a kid, where he may or may not

Samuel L. Jackson 101: Glass

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/07/14

This week, The Junkies take the last of their in-depth looks into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson’s most iconic roles by watching Glass, the final in M. Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy that began with Unbreakable and continued with Split. This movie reunites Jackson with Bruce Willis, the hero of Unbreakable, and serves as Mr. Glass’s origin story (James McAvoy rounds out the cast.) The Junkies compare these superhero tales to the Marvel and DC canon, as well as discussing the entire Shyamalan

Stephanie has studied costume design and film production, and she practices and shares her passions at shows, on Instagram and Twitch. Alex wants to know more about what it means to be a creative dreamer, and Nicole asks about choosing and creating costumes. Shauna and Hayley,

Samuel L. Jackson 101: Captain Marvel

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/06/30

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson’s most iconic roles by watching Captain Marvel, arguably the Marvel movie that has the highest concentration of Nick Fury by volume. Though this movie is ostensibly about Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel/Vers, played to smirking perfection by Brie Larson, it is also the origin story for Nick Fury, the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Thanks to a deft de-aging effect, we see baby-faced Fury and Phil Coulson (Clark

The Terror Trader with Jason Swarr

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/06/23

This week the Junkies welcome special guest Jason Swarr, owner of Terror Trader, Arizona’s only year-round horror marketplace, home to everything from a robust VHS movie selection to a German torture boot to a three hundred-year-old human torso. In other words, it’s the coolest place around. Jason is a horror-movie fanatic and, unsurprisingly, the Junkies are too! Jason talks about how his obsession with horror began (growing up in Mothman country helped!), asks Alex, Shauna, Nicole and Hayley about

Samuel L. Jackson 101: Coach Carter

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/06/16

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson’s most iconic roles by watching Coach Carter, the feel-good, based-on-a-true-story of a basketball coach who demanded more of his players than they were willing to give…at first. This movie is big on heart but has shockingly few F-bombs, and marks the first on-screen appearances of Channing Tatum and Ashanti, along with Octavia Spencer and that guy from Cousin Skeeter. This is one of the movies that inspired

Crude with David Lucarelli

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2022/06/09

This week, Hayley, Shauna and Nicole welcome writer, sound engineer, graphic novelist and podcaster David Lucarelli to the show. David is the writer and director of Crude: A Completely Unauthorized Play, which is based (in an unauthorized way) on the band Mötley Crüe. The show, currently playing in the Hollywood Fringe Fest, is a funny, loving and moving tribute to the band and especially Nikki Sixx. David also talks about his work as an ADR recorder for numerous movies and television shows, like
