Episodes

  • Nicole gets the Junkies thinking about traveling, and while Olivia plans to escape the oppressive Arizona temps this summer, Shauna will enjoy the hot hot heat poolside. As for Nicole, she'll soon be sailing to the other side of the International Date Line, where her today will be our tomorrow. Then the talk turns to movies, specifically movie sets. With an imaginary time (and place) machine, Shauna wills herself to the set of Blade (1998), where she participates in the Goth nightclub scene that culminated in a blood orgy. Fun! Olivia's choice is Eyes Wide Shut from 1999, so she can see for herself if there was any "Illuminati shit" was going down that would explain the death of director Stanley Kubrick shortly before the film's release - and the 40 minutes excised from the Director's cut. As for Nicole, she wants to join Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler on the set of 50 First Dates, mainly so she can cross visiting South Africa's Lost City Resort off her bucket list. Hey, it's got a crocodile pool!

  • Shauna goes solo this week to interview award-winning indie writer/director/producer Ansel Faraj, whose film The Great Nick D is now on the festival circuit. Ansel tells Shauna about his pop culture heritage, and how it inspired his body of work. Though he’s based in Los Angeles, he’s no nepo baby – but even without connections he’s been able to fulfill his dream of making films. Ansel and Shauna talk about his last movie, Todd Tarantula (which Shauna loved!) now streaming on Tubi, as well as his future projects, which might include a horror musical!

    Ansel Faraj’s Hollisworth Productions website has links to his Facebook and YouTube pages, as well as information on how to stream or buy his films. His IMDb page is here and he’s on Instagram.

  • The Junkies reveal their latest obsessions, which for Nicole is March Madness, for Olivia is reading the first book in a fantasy series and then waiting impatiently for the next book to be written, and for Shauna it is reliving the glorious return to classic animation that is X-Men ’97. There is also some NSFW discussion about “knotting” so consider yourself warned. Then the Junkies detail the highs of Jennifer Lopez’s career in contrast to where it sits now, after she released This Is Me
Now, the documentary and the This is Me Now: A Love Story which isn’t a documentary, not that anyone really knows what it is. What is clear is that JLo spent a lot of money just to face a backlash for being so over-the-top that even Ben Affleck was embarassed for her. Then Nicole, Shauna and Olivia each say how they would manage her image rehab. JLo, if you’re listening, DM us!

  • This week, Shauna tells the Junkies about the series Shogun, and that she’s been to Japan twice, not that she’s bragging. Olivia gives us all the horrifying details from the Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider expose series Quiet on the Set (and here’s a trigger warning because it includes sexual violence against children), and Nicole goes up to bat with a review of The Hill, a baseball movie starring Dennis Quaid. Then it’s time to dish on each Junkie’s pick for the most chaotic celebrity breakup in recent memory. Shauna chose the on-again/off-again setside romance of Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and she’s Team Bella all the way. Nicole reaches way back to the early days of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to tell of the Kris and Caitlyn Jenner divorce, which leads to a game of ‘Who is Khloe’s Dad?’ Finally, Olivia pulls at the red strings of her conspiracy board to connect the players involved in the messy end of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship.

  • The Junkies briefly ponder the Unsolved Mystery of “What Happened to Kate Middleton?”, but out of respect to PCJ superfan King Charles III, the topic swerves to the umpteenth season of Survivor, and addictive reality shows in general. Then Shauna endeavors to explain the Dune universe to Nicole and Olivia, but how do you adequately explain Spice? Then the Junkies plan a sleepover to watch Dune and the perfect companion movies, American Mary and High School Musical, and emphasize that this will be a drug-free triple feature,just in case you were wondering. Then on to this week’s topic, which isn’t the Roman Empire but also it’s not NOT the Roman Empire. The Junkies each confess what they think about at least once a day, and the answers may or may not surprise you. Make the PCJ podcast your daily obsession and listen now!

  • This week, the Junkies catch up and find that Nicole is still a Ride-or-Die for Law and Order: SVU, even though the romance between Stabler and Benson hasn’t moved any closer to Smoochtown; Olivia binged a 55 part-TikTok series about a pathological liar, then tries to make Shauna think she doesn’t know who Gordon Ramsey is; and Shauna humblebrags that she has layers, like an onion, or an ogre, which will come as no surprise to any government agency that’s monitoring her Google searches. Then the Junkies explore the ‘Good for Her!’ Cinematic Universe, a genre that has at one end the body horror flick American Mary, and at the other, the far less gory Legally Blonde, with Gone Girl being somewhere in the middle. It’s a genre whose mascot is a Lucille Bluth meme and often involves some very specific kinds of revenge. And although some of the protagonists in these ‘Good for Her!’ movies might not be able to convince a court of law that the bad guy had it coming, we in the audience are all silently agreeing: “Good for her.”

  • The Pop Culture Junkies are back and better than ever! The post-holiday break is over, and the Junkies tell each other what they’ve been up to since last they met. Find out how Nicole has a conduit directly to heaven, why Shauna is the Promise Ring Queen, and the details behind Olivia’s emotional breakdown over a fantasy book series. So relatable. Then the Junkies dive into the magic that is TikTok: an app that gives you a hit of dopamine that turns off the part of your brain that tells you no, don’t buy that. Nicole talks about experimenting with snail mucin (whatever that is), while Olivia was buying trendy water bottles long before Stanley cups were a thing, and Shauna was influenced to buy her husband a shirt with pictures of their cat which went wrong in the most hilarious way. What will this episode make you buy? Grab a major credit card and find out!

  • Shauna may be obsessed with the end of the world (movies, that is), but Olivia is not giving up until she gets the other Junkies hooked on her new fave book series involving the Fey (look for it on our next PCJ book club episode), and Nicole skipped the book and went straight to the movie based on the ‘Hunger Games’ prequel. Then the talk turned to Christmas movies, but not the kind where a big-city gal falls for a sweater-wearing down-home hunk. No, this episode is all about killer Santas, killer snowmen, and killer killers. Which seasonal slashers do the Junkies think really sleigh? Whether you’re on the naughty list or the nice list, you’ll have yourself a scary little Christmas if you unwrap this episode.

  • Olivia, Shauna and Nicole began reviewing the Britney Spears memoir The Woman in Me in our last episode, but there was so much to say that we made it a two-parter. This time The Junkies talk about Britney’s fight against mental illness, tabloid journalism and the paparazzi, and her troubled marriage to Kevin Federline, which was bad enough – but things were about to get worse. The Junkies cover everything like the notorious head-shaving incident, the “Free Britney” movement, and of course her conservatorship, which pitted Britney against her father and her sister. Make sure you listen to the first part of our special Britney book coverage – it’s not that much “Work, Bitch.”

  • The inaugural episode of the Pop Culture Junkie Book Club features (what else?) Britney Spears’ memoir The Woman in Me. Olivia, Shauna and Nicole read the eye-opening true story of The Princess of Pop, and they have a lot to say about Britney’s revelations – so much so that this is the first of two episodes covering the book. In this episode, we start with Spears’ humble origins in Kentwood, LA, to her entrance into pop culture via The Mickey Mouse Club and Star Search, to her meteoric rise to megastardom as her music career takes off. And with every career high came personal lows, from her family’s generational trauma being impossible to escape (CW: suicide, mental illness), to her fraught relationship with Justin Timberlake, to being objectified on the news, to her headline-making brief Las Vegas nuptials with Jason Alexander (no, not the Seinfeld guy). There will be a lot more in the next episode of Pop Culture Junkie, so hit us baby, one more time.

  • It's nearly Halloween, and while Shauna and Olivia have thought out their costumes - sexy Freddy Krueger and Sexy Ghostface - but Nicole still needs some ideas. The Junkies vow to each try on a bald cap, a la Dr. Evil, but to share the same one, a la The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bald Cap. Somehow they make it make sense. On a more serious note, the Junkies then talk about the Final Girl and Scream Queen horror tropes, the symbolic and cultural influence of these horror heroes, and list some of the more iconic examples from horror film history. Finally, Nicole, Olivia and Shauna all put themselves in the cinematic universe of a horror franchise and describe their plans to be the last girl standing to deliver a killer last line at the end of the film.

  • The Junkies have been very busy lately, what with new day jobs, trips to Miami and event planning, but they still have time to bing pop culture. Nicole is still enjoying Only Murders in the Building, as is Shauna, so Olivia decides to give in to peer pressure and vows to catch up on the hit show. Shauna is still down with And Just Like That, with all its flaws, and is loving The Bear, which is flawless, and Olivia is back on the Twilight train. Speaking of trains...well, travel, the Junkies imagine taking their favorite celebs on a day trip to their hometown, so if you'd like to know the itinerary when Shauna brings Lady Gaga to Phoenix, or Nicole shows Billie Eilish the sights of Chicago, or Olivia explores her adopted hometown of Austin, Texas with Taylor Swift, then listen in. You might not be planning to party with a celebrity, but the Junkies will give you some outstanding travel planning ideas.

  • After detailing their very busy schedules, (including an impromptu trip to see a Taylor Swift concert) and a look at what’s up with Lizzo, and Ariana Grande, Olivia, Nicole and Shauna keep it musical by paying homage to their favorite under-the-radar bands. If you’ve never heard of ASTON, Troye Sivan, Haru Nemuri, Ktlyn, Maggie Rogers, Drake Milligan, INJI, Lil Mariko, Caroline Polachek, Zach Bryan, Twin Temple, Lainey Wilson, Marlon Craft, CIL, or Rico Nasty, well, now you have. And you’re welcome!

  • The Junkies set the menu for their final meals should they ever end up on death row – which would never happen, of course – and they are all elaborate combinations of fine dining and fast food. Then, the discussion turns to (where else) true crime, and Nicole, Shauna and Olivia talk about the best documentaries and movies about real-life murders. They also discuss the phenomenon of serial killer groupies, the obvious disparity in which victims get media coverage, and the ethics of presenting these devastating events for our entertainment.

  • Hi Barbies! This episode, The Junkies talk about the Barbenheimer phenomenon, even though only one of them managed to make it happen (so far). Shauna remembers her Weird Barbie doll, and her propensity to leave them in compromising positions, while Nicole confesses she was more of a Polly Pocket fan. Also, Olivia has some American Girl dolls for sale, so if you’re interested, send a message, but don’t even try to get Shauna to give up her Beanie Babies. Next, The Junkies talk about the Barbie movie as a cultural phenomenon, and all the positive and negative reactions to a pretty great movie about a pretty great doll.

  • Nicole is addicted to Hot Ones – the show where celebrities try to engage in conversation while consuming ever more deadly hot wings, and Shauna has succumbed to the lure of the second season of And Just Like That. Speaking of needing an intervention, Olivia’s friends stage one to help her with her true crime addiction. Olivia then enlists Shauna and Nicole to help her get The Weeknd removed from any future episodes of The Idol. Then The Junkies confess which animated characters, well, awakened something in them as a young person. Who would choose Gaston over The Beast and Belle? Who thinks Max Goof is all that? And who began a lifelong addiction to skinny nerdy dudes because of Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire? You’ll have to listen to find out.

  • 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. Then Nicole catches us all up on the various Vanderpump Rules scandals and instructs Shauna on how to become a Real Housewife. And speaking of Lily-Rose Depp, because we were, Olivia declares it’s time to play a game: Nepo-Baby Apocalypse Car. Imagine it’s the end of the world, and you are packing a vehicle with everything you need to survive
which celebrity offsprings would you take with you for that final ride? The Junkies’ answers may surprise you.

  • 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. This week’s topic is child stars, and The Junkies note the tragedies (many) and the triumphs (far too few) of kids who have grown up in an industry that uses their cuteness and tosses them away when they’re grown. Join us as we discuss what perils young actors face now, and what we can do about it.

  • The Junkies return to Phoenix Fan Fusion! This year, Nicole and Shauna hosted a panel about streaming or network television shows that were canceled too soon (looking at you, Jessica Jones!) and discuss the shows they - and the audience - miss the most, and whether it's even worth it to get invested in new programs any more. Find out if any of your beloved but prematurely canceled shows made our list!

  • The Junkies welcome Olivia Rodi to the Pop Culture Junkie podcast, and Nicole and Shauna get to know her faves and fandoms. As she is a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Taylor Swift, Josie and the Pussycats, horror movies, true crime and celebrity gossip and conspiracy therories, it’s obvious she’s going to fit right in. After discussing whether Tupac is alive, Katy Perry is really Jon-Benet Ramsey and other hot takes, The Junkies take the conversation in a spicier direction, commenting on the hotness of Bill Hader (really!) and why Lucifer became unmissable after it moved from network TV to Netflix. Then Olivia, Nicole and Shauna discuss the impact of the ongoing WGA Strike, expressing solidarity with the cause while at the same time lamenting the shutdown of some of their favorite shows. Even so, we all stand with the writers here and hope they receive the compensation they deserve.
