Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 05:37

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

Baby, What's Going On with Justin Bieber?

Season 6 · Episode 170

Thursday, July 10, 2025 • Duration 47:16

This week Shauna and Olivia dish some celebrity goss and figure out their weekend plans - they are true multi-taskers! Then it's on to the main topic - What's happening with Justin Bieber? The singer, who became mega-famous at a very early age, recently posted a candid message to Instagram that said "Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?" The Junkies take a look back at the rocky road that Bieber has traveled since becoming a viral sensation in 2009. From his celebrity connections, including Diddy, to finding religion, his marriage to Hailey Baldwin, to his struggles with his health and the paparazzi, Justin has been through a lot. The Junkies then advise the seemingly exhausted Bieber to slow down, take some time out of the spotlight, and for the love of Vanilla Ice, to please not release that rap album he's been talking about.

Get Your Fix: Live at Phoenix Fan Fusion

Season 3 · Episode 85

Thursday, June 2, 2022 • Duration 51:31

This week, Shauna, Hayley and Nicole host the show live from Phoenix Fan Fusion, the comic and pop culture convention that returned this year after a two year hiatus. Hayley and Shauna tell the audience about all the good geeky stuff premiering this week, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stranger Things, then welcome special guests to the stage. First up is Hecate, a cosplayer, model and influencer who talks about her favorite cons and how the design process for her looks. Then David Boyles from Drag Story Hour Arizona tells us about his group’s mission to bring inclusive story times to children and their grown-ups in Arizona, inspiring kids to be themselves (and annoying the occasional bigot). Finally, we are joined by Meghan from the Phoenix chapter of Very Awesome Girls Into Nerdy Activities, a group for geek girls and those who identify as girls. Very Awesome Girls use their nerdy superpowers for good by volunteering at community events and crafting geeking items for fundraisers. Finally, The Junkies talk about their OTPs, because everybody has at least one.

Thank you to Ashleigh Feiring and Phoenix Fan Fusion for inviting us this year!

The Dragons of Melgor with Steve Romanko and Turner Van Ryn

Season 3 · Episode 84

Thursday, May 26, 2022 • Duration 01:01:10

This week, the Junkies welcome special guests Steve Romanko and Turner Van Ryn of 13th Generation Productions, who are producing a new animated TV show called The Dragons of Melgor, which they describe as “an animated science fiction adventure that is grounded in our flesh and blood world.” Steve and Turner talk about getting inspiration for their show from old-school Battlestar Galactica, and talk about the creative process with all its ups and downs. Steve and Turner explain exactly what “in development” means, talk about working at Lucasfilm, wearing the same watch as Robert Redford, and what it feels like to literally run into Leonard Nimoy. This is a good episode: so say we all.

Samuel L. Jackson 101: Snakes on a Plane

Season 3 · Episode 83

Thursday, May 19, 2022 • Duration 49:29

This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into beloved actor Samuel L. Jackson’s most iconic roles by watching the legendarily goofy (but not Sharknado goofy) Snakes on a Plane. Is it a comedy? An action-adventure? A romance? It’s really a combination of the three, with bad special effects and a Cobra Starship video thrown in to boot. The Junkies confess what creatures they’d be afraid to be trapped on a plane with, from geckos to…butterflies(?), and wonder how they would die if they were trapped with those monkey-fighting snakes on that Monday-to-Friday plane. Then they enjoy some 2006 technology (phones that are also cameras?!), discuss the movie’s best kill scenes, and act out the scene where Kenan Thompson’s character saves the day with his Playstation prowess.

You can prepare for the next class by watching Samuel L. Jackson in Coach Carter.

Cocaine in Brazil with Brad Perry (Part 2)

Season 3 · Episode 82

Monday, May 16, 2022 • Duration 43:59

The Junkies are back with part two of their interview with Brad Perry, a legend in the Phoenix, Chicago and San Diego TV markets. Brad dishes on working with a couple actors the Junkies are very familiar with. Alex makes a case for Keanu Reeves’ acting chops, but Brad isn’t having it, and then Brad and Shauna go over the rules of a Samuel L. Jackson drinking game. Hayley gets Brad to divulge more celebrity shenanigans, and he regales us with tales of getting drunk with Dennis Rodman, hitting Las Vegas with Bon Jovi, and deciding whether to get into a helicopter with Bruce Springsteen in Brazil. (And so much more!) Then, Brad takes over to interview The Junkies on the future of pop culture and Nicole makes a case for the short attention span generation’s fascination with Tik-Tok. Are we about to see the end of long-form, serious content? Not as long as this podcast exists!

Deep Dish with Brad Perry (Part 1)

Season 3 · Episode 82

Thursday, May 12, 2022 • Duration 41:37

This week The Junkies interview Brad Perry, a legend in the Phoenix television market (and elsewhere). Though Brad has conquered almost every kind of media, this is his very first podcast appearance. Brad is currently the host of the Arizona Daily Mix on KAZT, but got his start at Second City in Chicago, doubled for Damon Wayans (among other film jobs), and has headlined morning shows in San Diego as well as Phoenix. Nicole gets Brad to name his favorite Chicago-style pizzeria, and Hayley encourages him to name names about his best and worst celebrity experiences.

The Junkies had so much fun talking to Brad that we had to break the conversation into two shows. Look for part two to drop in a few days.

Samuel L. Jackson 101: Shaft

Season 3 · Episode 81

Thursday, May 5, 2022 • Duration 38:24

Who’s the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks? Obviously, it’s Shaft, aka Law and Order SVU: The Movie. The second lesson in Samuel L. Jackson 101 is the beloved actor’s embodiment of the classic detective character originated by Richard Roundree in 1971. The Junkies look at Jackson’s take on the character, from his persona, his charisma and his collection of black leather coats. And they look at the movie’s bad guys, from the charming yet inexplicably Dominican Jeffrey Wright as Peoples, and Christian Bale (basically playing Patrick Bateman again) as the very punchable Walter Wade Jr. Then the Junkies fancast a 2022 Shaft TV series (with roles for themselves!) and rate the movie and Jackson’s performance, comparing both to Pulp Fiction in a way that might surprise you.

You can prepare for the next class by watching Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane.

Say Cheese

Season 3 · Episode 80

Thursday, April 28, 2022 • Duration 58:36

Things get all little cheesy on the show this week, as in love of Mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Bleu cheese (but not Swiss), before the Junkies talk about their latest pop culture obsessions. Shauna is digging Moon Knight and the enduring mystery of Is It Cake?, while Alex is bingeing one of the year’s most lauded new shows, Abbott Elementary, and finally took in The Batman. Nicole talks about an awesome solo adventure at a Billie Eilish concert and a less than awesome White Sox season, and Hayley reports on the latest movies in the Sonic and Fantastic Beasts franchises. Then it’s on to speculation about the upcoming Doctor Strange movie, and then The Junkies must battle each other in a trivia challenge to warm them up for their Pop Culture Jeopardy panel at Phoenix Fan Fusion. Who will be the victors?
