  • What a Twist!

    What a Twist!
    Sep 12 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.

  • Keeping Up with Keeping Up with the Kardashians

    Keeping Up with Keeping Up with the Kardashians
    Sep 5 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.

  • Soundtrack to a Recession

    Soundtrack to a Recession
    Aug 29 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!
