12 SEP 2024 · Olivia and Shauna start talking about bangs – the kind that you choose deliberately, not trauma bangs, and then…plot twist! No, that’s this week’s show topic: twist endings – the epic and the awful. While they do happen on television (usually ruining several years of storytelling), the most memorable twist endings are in movies. But why do filmmakers (including the patron saint of twists, M. Night Shyamalan) use them? What makes a good twist as opposed to a maddening one? The Junkies list their own favorite twist endings and call out some of the worst ones, too. There will be spoilers in this episode, of course, especially when Shauna reveals the incredible secret parents keep from their kids about Santa Claus and the “Tooth Bunny.” Consider yourself warned! Then, the Junkies recommend what you should – or should not – pop this week.

5 SEP 2024 · Olivia and Shauna face an inconvenient truth: no family gets more airtime on Pop Culture Junkie than the Kardashians. And that’s odd, especially since Shauna could at one time claim to never have seen an episode. But she can’t be an anti-Kardashian pick-me any more, because ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ is the subject of this episode. The Junkies look at the family’s entry into the zeitgeist and how the so-called reality show (and its many spinoffs) that made the whole family famous turned into Kris Jenner’s propaganda machine. Is ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ an annoyance or is it more problematic than that? And is anyone still watching this show? Also, the Junkies recommend what you should – or should not – pop this week.

29 AUG 2024 · Shauna is obsessed with getting through this journey we call life, and what better way to do that than with a little bit of pop culture? She has controversial takes on the finales of both House of the Dragon and The Bear, and watching the Love Island reunion makes her wonder if she should catch the U.K. episodes. Olivia speaks out in defense of Blake Lively, who got roasted about stuff her hubby didn’t when his new movie came out. And a new documentary about the murder of Laci Peterson has her wondering if the husband really was the killer. Then the Junkies look at how certain music trends seem to accompany hard times economically. Can you use the popularity of Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter to know when it’s time to start hoarding resources? Listen and find out!

8 AUG 2024 · Olivia complains about how Shauna "Elle Woodsed" her at her recent pool party, but Shauna tells her that her costume was perfection, even if she was the only one who showed up in one. Olivia's on a documentary kick right now, so if you want some amazing true crime reccs, she's got you. Shauna is still giddy from Deadpool & Wolverine, but manages to not spoil any of it for you (or Olivia.) She's also watching Love Island, which leaves her less than giddy, which makes her think of a recent documentary about the most-hated bands of all time, which leads the Junkies to talk about the phenomenon of Hate Watching. Why spend what little free time you have watching something that does not spark joy? There are reasons why spending time with Real Housewives, Emily in Paris, Hoarders, or the cast of Riverdale can benefit you, believe it or not. Listen to this episode with love and find out more!

1 AUG 2024 · Shauna and Olivia try to come to grips with the most jaw-dropping announcement from last week's San Diego Comic Con event: Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU, but not as Tony Stark. No, he's going to play Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom, the MCU's new Big Bad.

25 JUL 2024 · Shauna fills Olivia in on what she's been doing lately - as if they both didn't just spend the week on a girls trip in Mexico. Shauna tells us how she was detained by TSA upon re-entering the USA, (it's not as bad as it sounds!) and both she and Olivia agree there was a lot of sad pop culture news to take in upon their return. To get out of that funk, the Junkies talk about the lighthearted family comedy/snuff film their producers made them watch: Roar, also called "The Most Dangerous Movie Ever Made." While Shauna and Olivia weren't impressed with the whisper-thin plot and so-so acting (even though it stars Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith), they couldn't help but be awed by the choices made by producer Noel Marshall and his family, and not in a good way. Between 70-120 members of the cast and crew were mauled, maimed, scalped, bitten and broken during production - but the Junkies have all the reasons you need to see this movie anyway, like using it as the basis of a life-threatening drinking game. (Disclaimer: no animals or humans were injured in the making of this podcast. The same cannot be said for Roar.)

18 JUL 2024 · Olivia is deep in her obsession with all things Game of Thrones, going down rabbit holes about the lore and boning up on her knowledge for a GoT trivia night! Shauna's appreciation of the acting skills of Fabien Frankel (House of the Dragon's Ser Crispy Creme) because he is an awesome villain leads her to want to play a villain - if she wins an Emmy, being hated would be worth it! And both Junkies agree that having this podcast is a wonderful outlet for all the pop culture thoughts that fill their heads on a daily basis. Then, Shauna is out to make Olivia a fan of anime - or at least like it a little. She fills her (and us!) in on the history and different types of anime, then gets Olivia's honest review of three shows: Attack on Titan, My Dress-Up Darling, and that quintessential series, Dragon Ball Z.

11 JUL 2024 · Shauna is almost done watching season three of Bridgerton and its weirdly-paced main romance, but is more excited about The Fourth Wing, a new book by author Rebecca Yaros – and so is Olivia who has been encouraging her to read this book about horny humans and dragons. (The humans are horny, not the dragons… probably). Olivia is still watching a lot of airline content, somehow managing to binge all of the Kristen Wiig murder mystery series Palm Royale. Since she really wants a second season, she's asking everyone to finally get Apple TV+ and watch it. After a spoiler for the next episode of PCJ, Shauna and Olivia talk about the show everyone is (or should be) watching, The Bear. The Junkies discuss whether the show is a comedy or a drama, how accurate it is in its portrayal of restaurant work, the themes of generational trauma and family dysfunction, and how watching the show both makes you hungry and introduces the phrase "Yes, Chef" (in a Chicago accent!) into your everyday vocabulary.

4 JUL 2024 · Shauna and Olivia have been busy lately: Shauna had a sober (*wink*) housewarming party and Olivia took a trip to San Francisco where she drank Martinis in the Castro. But did they make time to binge on pop culture? Of course - they're Junkies! Shauna wants to talk about JoJo Siwa's predilection for poppers and Colin from Bridgerton's lip flip. She also declares her love for the Ghost concert movie - a must-see, if you like Ghost. Olivia is ready to spoil the most recent (at the time of recording) episode of House of the Dragon, which was like a more murdery version of The Parent Trap. Then, The Junkies talk about the thing that makes good movies great and bad movies bearable: the soundtrack! Olivia and Shauna each choose the soundtracks, scores and songs that kept their toes tapping as they watched the film (or the TV show.)

27 JUN 2024 · It is seriously hot outside now, so the Junkies are indulging in all their streaming obsessions now. For Shauna, that means The Boys, which returned with a scene that even made Shauna clutch her pearls. Then Olivia tries to talk about Bridgerton without too many spoilers, in case you, like Shauna, aren’t as far into the episode list as she is. House of the Dragon has also recently returned, and that prompts Olivia to look into the history, magic and lore behind not only HotD, but also Game of Thrones. The Junkies try to count all the Aegons in the Targaryen family tree (impossible), discuss if we need any more prequels and why, and wonder if George R.R. Martin will finish the next book in the series before Winter is finally Here.
