The Mysterious Appeal of Pete Davidson

2021/11/04

Saturday Night Live’s squirrely Pete Davidson is not only captivating Kardashians; one of the Junkies finds him oddly alluring too. After debating the ubiquity of Christmas music before Halloween is even over, Alex dishes on Facebook’s new Metaverse, which could send you back in time via a picture you were tagged in circa 2010. Shauna and Hayley are tentatively popping Ghosts (it’s not as weird as it sounds) and Nicole has all the Dutch Slut news. All that, plus the best in movies, television, music

The Pop Culture Junkies recorded this episode live at the Be My Secret Cars and Anime Con on October 9th at Rawhide Events Center in Chandler.

Prepare to be scandalized as The Junkies confess their childhood transgressions: Hayley’s deception, Alex’s trespassing, and Shauna’s illicit snogging absolutely pale in comparison to the lengths Nicole went to for a first grade birthday party. The Junkies break down the Emmy Awards (not the ceremony, which no one watches anymore), but the entertaining moments from Conan, Seth Rogan, Michaela Coel and more.

Shauna does her best to not spoil Shang-Chi for Alex, and he returns the favor by not ruining the start of Lucifer‘s final season for her. Hayley is pumped for Hawkeye, Christmas and a year’s worth of Marvel content (#blessed) and Nicole sells us all on The Morning Show – and Apple TV+. We hope she’s
