  • Tyra Banks Gets an 'Americas Next Top Model' Reality Check

    Tyra Banks Gets an 'Americas Next Top Model' Reality Check
    Mar 5 2026
    Like so many millennials, Shauna and Olivia binged the reality competition show America's Next Top Model at an impressionable age, taking in some decidedly mixed messages along with the makeover montages and lessons in walking a runway. The Junkies discuss what they learned from Netflix's docuseries Reality Check, which took a hard look at the show, and discuss the show's legacy, and how a show about training aspiring models became better known for its human rights violations, asking who, if anyone, is holding themselves accountable for that.

  • What Happened to Nicki Minaj?

    What Happened to Nicki Minaj?
    Feb 19 2026
    Shauna and Olivia are back from an extended holiday (and mental) break and they are ready to dish. In this episode, the Junkies look at Nicki Minaj and trace her trajectory from the modern-day Queen of Rap, who was an LGBTQ+ ally and had only mild beefs with other female performers, to someone who is now on the outs with a lot of former supporters due to her alliance with conservatives and anti-vaxxers. Why did she turn her back on the community that embraced her? What's up with her family? Can her image be rehabilitated, and how? The Junkies answer all these burning questions and more.

  • PCJ Classic - Stranger Things Happen with Grant Goodman

    PCJ Classic - Stranger Things Happen with Grant Goodman
    Nov 27 2025
    To celebrate Stranger Things premiering the first episode of its final season this week, we are replaying this very special edition of Pop Culture Junkie featuring Shauna, along with Junkies emeriti Alex and Hayley the Brave and special guest Grant Goodman, who appeared in Season 4. We hope you enjoy this look back at that season before you binge the new episodes.
    __________________________________________

    This week The Junkies welcome an incredibly special guest; Grant Goodman, aka 'Freak' from Stranger Things. Grant welcomes Shauna, Hayley and Alex into the Hellfire Club, and talks about his time on the hit show's fourth season, covering topics like telling the Duffer Brothers apart with their masks on, working around Covid lockdowns, how he was the master of the reaction shot, and the rise of Eddie Munson, played by Joseph Quinn. Grant has been working since he was a kid, where he may or may not have been peed on playing the younger version of Rainn Wilson's character in the James Gunn movie Super, and will be appearing in the new Netflix comedy Mo, coming from A24. The Junkies ask Grant what he's watching and listening to now, and Grant tells us how his newfound fame means fan encounters everywhere, even in the restroom.

    Follow Grant on Instagram and Twitter.

    In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday.

    Though Halloween is over, it’s always the right time to enjoy a good horror flick. Shauna recommends you watch the demonically good The Omen from 1976, starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, and Olivia counters with the goofy Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which stars Benjamin Walker, Anthony Mackie and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

  • Jason Forever: Looking at the Friday the 13th Series

    Jason Forever: Looking at the Friday the 13th Series
    Nov 13 2025
    The Friday the 13th movie series is one of the top slasher movie franchises of the 1980s and beyond, so this week the Junkies take a look at Jason Voorhees, the unkillable movie monster with the staggeringly high body count who has been to camp, to hell, to outer space and has battled Freddy Krueger. The Junkies look at all 12 (not 13?) movies in the series so far, compare Jason to the other unstoppable slashers who made it big in the 1980s, Halloween's Michael Myers and Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy, and figure out which of the three they could fend off if they ever found themselves having to choose one. Then the Junkies look to the future with Jason, and the newly-formed Jason Universe that could bring us that elusive 13th movie in the series - and more.
