Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2021/06/24

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

How to play the Pop Culture Junkie™ Drinking Game: drink every time Shauna has to censor herself, Hayley talks about Law and Order, Nicole mentions Billie Eilish, or Alex references Kanye West. Not to be played while driving. We’ve got all the bodily fluid news you want (and then some) this week. You’re welcome. The Junkies dish on Batman as a selfish lover, giant Lamar Odom, YouTubers vs TikTokers, and Kanye unfollowing Kim. They also give you the Pop it or Drop It reviews of Loki, The

The Junkies met in real life for Friends trivia night at the Alamo Drafthouse (thanks, Alamo Drafthouse!) How did they do? Find out by listening! Speaking of friends, the Junkies welcome their new friend, John Pyka, The Prophet of Pop Culture and host of the Back of the Cereal Box podcast, who does a mean Kermit impression. (Links below!) This week, the Junkies (who may or may not be naked from the waist down) and John have a LOT of pop culture hot takes this week. After marveling at the days of

2021/06/03

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. Nicole’s has a country flair, Hayley’s is a little bit rock and roll, Shauna’s has those Vegas vibes and Alex’s brings the finesse and the funk. Whether you’re a

The One with the 'Friends' Trivia

2021/05/27

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

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 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

A Slightly Geekier Direction

2021/05/13

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

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

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

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2021/04/29

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

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2021/04/22

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

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

The Junkies are back on their regular beat this week, bringing you not one but two pop culture stories involving the Prince of Darkness. But first, they break down the emotional Benson-Stabler reunion in the long-running Law and Order SVU, a show that’s almost as old as Nicole. Then it’s on to the ethical questions about Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the questionable dance moves of Baron Zemo. You heard it here first: Nicole declares that Sharon Carter is the Power Broker. But she doesn’t watch

Pop Conspiracy Junkies

2021/04/01

It’s official: pop culture is dead. R.I.P. Over a year of Covid-related cancellations, postponements and Zoom call-themed episodes have put the kibosh on entertainment in 2021. So this week, the Junkies are turning to a subject of endless fascination: conspiracy theories. Where is Naked Celebrity Island, and which Elvis (hot movie star Elvis or chubby Vegas edition) greets every new resident? Why is the government dispatching so many of our beloved celebs, from Marilyn Monroe to the Notorious

Nicole confesses her love of those adorable porkers (and bacon) and Shauna discloses her past as a hip hop diva. Hayley dives into the Justice League Snyder Cut, separating the good from the unnecessary exposition, and Alex gives Tom Holland’s latest non-Spider-Man role a fair shake.

Thimble, Shoe, Dog, Racecar… the Junkies disclose which Monopoly piece best represents them, and who is willing to flip the board when the game isn’t going their way. Shauna the Sebastian Stan stan talks about prepping for Falcon and the Winter Soldier with a massive Marvel rewatch. Alex and Hayley voice concerns about a CW version of the Powerpuff Girls, and imagine if the network made other reboots of childhood favorites, such as a dark version of Barney or the Rugrats on meth.

First we meet our two brand spanking new Junkies, Hayley the Brave and Alexander Castillo-Nuñez. Hayley was a guest Junkie on our Cobra Kai episode, and Alex is making his ‘kind of surreal’ debut on the show.

Shauna and Nicole welcome actor Sam Primack, a Broadway and touring company actor, who has appeared in Dear Evan Hansen and The Addams Family to talk singing, dancing, and barbecue. After settling the crucial issue of whether pineapple belongs on pizza (to be eaten only under duress, apparently,) the Junkies move on to who was canceled this week and how much they deserved it.

It’s Galentine’s Day, so there are no boys allowed in the Pop Culture Junkie clubhouse this week. Shauna and Nicole debate whether to give stealth Valentine cards to their neighbors and discuss which celeb couples will have a happy V-Day and which will not. (Sorry, J-Lo.) The Golden Globe nominations are out, but so are the Junkies’ Choice Award noms, which is just as important. Then Nicole and Shauna dish on rom-coms, chick-flicks and plain Janes as the gals discuss love, American movie-style
