Sex, Drugs and Mistakes

2021/09/02

The conversation is so good in this episode that the Junkies consider starting a podcast. They start by talking about TV shows with banging theme songs, which of course leads to a discussion of twerking to the Law and Order: SVU opening music. After that, things get weird. James Corden-humping-cars weird. Alex recommends Vacation Friends with benefits, Shauna is still catching up on classic vampire flicks like the ridiculously homoerotic Interview with the Vampire, and Hayley counters with another

A Very Nerdy Proposal

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2021/08/26

The Junkies pop, drop and roll their way through the week in pop culture. Reminiscence puts Hayley to sleep, while the Paw Patrol Movie is on point. Nicole is drawn into Rampage, not so much for The Rock as for her beloved Chicago. Alex pops Lin-Manuel Miranda’s music in Vivo, a new animated musical that is very Coco-meets-Soul, and Shauna is iffy on The White Lotus, and not just because of the genitals. Then the Junkies break down that Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer we’ve been dying to see. Doctor

Nicole offers to manifest good things for all the Junkies, because that how she rolls. Shauna’s getting back her $200, Hayley will get to see Benson and Stabler (finally) make out, and Alex will always have dry pants. The Junkies also discuss James Gunn’s crazy direction on The Suicide Squad, Sebastian Stan’s lackluster voiceovers on What If…?, The Killers’ transcendent new album and David Spade’s sarcastic take on Bachelor in Paradise. Then it’s the week in pop culture, including a Hollywood ending

The OG Junkies are on the air! Shauna and Nicole man the show this week as Alex celebrates two birthdays and Hayley is off campaigning to make the Nathan Fillion Civilian Pavillion a thing. She aims to misbehave! This episode has a lot of Jennifer Aniston, from the rumors she’s boinking David Schwimmer, to her starring role on The Morning Show to her stance on anti-vaxxers. Also this week, the Junkies rewrite their favorite shows minus their least favorite characters; so adios, Ross Gellar and those

Junkies Are People Too

2021/08/05

It’s unanimous: 3 out of 3 Junkies prefer bagels to doughnuts. This week, Nicole is back, but Shauna is MIA so this episode has a no-swears guarantee. This week Alex reps Ted Lasso, Nicole is all about Billie Eilish’s new, non-whispery album, and Hayley digs Tig Notaro’s animated adventures. Then the Junkies turn to sports, with stories from the Olympics and the men’s roller derby team from Cleveland. And finally, they take a deep dive into the epic battle of Disney’s evil empire vs. our favorite

The Junkies make a new friend this week when Preston Statzer, owner of Olympus Games, sits in for Nicole. Hayley recalls asking a psychic if she was going to marry David Duchovny, which came half true, and Alex tries to teach the others how to have swag. Preston debates anime dubs vs subs and manages to out-Shauna Shauna. This episode has everything: the corrupting influence of Harry Potter, rom-coms, true crime, the Olympics, Pokemon, and Megan Fox’s toe thumbs. Don’t miss it!Thank you to Olympus

On this week’s episode, Alex is iffy on Space Jam but digging Monsters at Work, Hayley stans any and all mockumentaries out of New Zealand, Shauna enjoyed the Crime Scene Kitchen finale when she wasn’t getting sunburnt, and Nicole is digging The Bachelorette final four but isn’t looking forward to the sandy sexcapades on Bachelor in Paradise. Then the Junkies get into the Loki finale, TikTokkers fueled by White Claw, Britney Spears firing back at her skeevy family, and Jeff Bezos’s space phallus. We

Reunited, and it feels so good, as the song goes. After months of Zooming, the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast now records live at Olympus Games in Mesa. Even better: Alex, Hayley, Shauna and Nicole all got together to see Black Widow, and you know they have a lot to say about the first Marvel movie in theaters in two years. Also this week, the Junkies dish on Loki, the big reveal in Sex/Life, billionaire space races, and the newest Marvel hero, Hot Guy.Thank you to Olympus Games, the new home of the Pop

All Pop Culture Dogs Go To Heaven

The Junkies reveal their pop culture nemeses, and decide that some of them just need to be tripped. (Watch where you walk, Scott Baio.) Nicole is enjoying how The Bachelorette is not taking any BS from her dudes, Alex discovers Manifest almost too late (#SaveManifest!) and Shauna wishes Venom had been just a little more violent. In pop culture news, the Junkies discuss the incredibly unfair conservatorship of Britney Spears and how weird it is that so many people in her family are named Jamie

It’s officially summer, even though here in Arizona it has been scorching hot for months. This week the Junkies celebrate the solstice by talking about terrible vacations, terrific summer binge-watching and of course, sports. Nicole and Alex each promote their favorite Sox, while Shauna reps the hometown favorite, the Phoenix Suns, who are burning up the NBA. The Junkies discuss Victoria’s Secret ditching their Angels and how that affects Tyra Banks. Speaking of cancellation, it’s time to discuss

Which Junkie has the moves? They all do, unless you count tap dancing. It’s metaphorically hot as Hell here in Phoenix, so we are all about the summer music playlist this week. Each Junkie discloses their summer soundtracks, 2021-style, and we’re posting them below so you can rock out at your poolside barbecue or on your vacay road trip.

Another Junkie is MIA! This time it is Hayley, who was somehow misplaced by the other Junkies. They pledge to find her by next week. This week, however, is all about Friends. Could we BE any more excited? No. The Junkies discuss the landmark sitcom, which will be celebrated with a reunion show on HBO Max on the same day this episode drops. Nicole and Shauna talk about their favorite characters and cast members while also looking at the ways the show was flawed. Then Alex is the game show host with

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.

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

Super-Deep Nonsense

2021/05/06

For an episode dropping close to Mother’s Day, there are so many mentions of, um, Daddies, this week. Alex talks about growing up sheltered from pop music, but not from lewd WWE gestures, and Shauna recounts re-enacting naughty Spice Girls videos as a youngster. Nicole remembers the drive to save horses by riding cowboys while young Hayley unknowingly channeled Christina Aguilera in a less-than-wholesome way. Alex and Hayley detail the glorious gore of Invincible and the impenetrable plot of Shadow

That '90s Show

Embrace the nostalgia as the Junkies look back on the ’90s on this week’s episode. Remember the Spice Girls, Beanie Babies, high-waisted jeans and…lava lamps? Anyway, the Junkies reminisce about the decade that brought us chat rooms and All That and Law & Order (even Nicole, who wasn’t born until the decade was nearly over.) Alex compares the new Mortal Kombat to the classic ’95 version, and Hayley takes a look at how The Mighty Ducks became mighty d*cks and reflects on the surreal life of The Two

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
