Shauna spoils the end of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (you’re welcome), then practices her “Ah-nold” accent for us all (you’re welcome again). Olivia is still pressuring the other Junkies to join her in the tortuous task of watching The Idol, to no avail, and eases us into the triggering documentary about the triggering Duggar clan.

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2023/06/22

Nicole and Olivia both recently traveled (although not together) and they both indulged in documentaries while they were away. Olivia binged docs about weird religous cults and Nicole watched a show about road rage, and that should tell you everything you need to know about them. Shauna, meanwhile, is still a Marvel stan, and finally watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Then she and the other Junkies try to rank the Scream movies, but they discover they are kind of the same movie over and over again

There's No Escaping 'The Room'

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2023/05/11

Then Shauna remembers her favorite midnight movie experiences, and invites Nicole to lose her Rocky Horror Picture Show virginity with her soon. Moving from so-bad-they're-good movies to just plain bad movies, the Junkies then determine the worst movies they've ever seen. Spoiler

Rotten Tomatometers

Pop Culture Junkie® ·

2023/03/02

Then after discussing the new Ant-Man movie, The Junkies debate the validity (and pronunciation) of Tomatometers, and whether online criticism should play a part in the decision to see a movie, or if everyone should just listen to this

Then, after debating the merits of Cars 3, The Junkies take a stroll through the uncanny valley for a look at just how creative artificial technology can be. In a world where there are apps that can generate art and literature, will we ever get to the point where robots will be able to entertain us? Intentionally, that is. Listen to

Hayley, Nicole and Shauna are back and trading holiday tales of getting barfed on, playing matchmaker, and having a great time at the North Pole of Arizona. Who did what? You’ll have to listen to find out. Then The Junkies ring in 2023 with the obligatory look at the best of 2022, and by obligatory, we mean “really, really fun.” 2022 may have been sparkling and bitter, like a negroni sbagliato with prosecco, but 2023 is going to be a great year for pop culture, and we can’t wait to share it all with
