    In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday.  Shauna is popping the 2016 book My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. The tongue-in-cheek story set in the Satanic Panic era of the 1980s tells the tale of a lifelong friendship put to the test when one of the BFFs gets demonically possessed.  We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!

    Going 'Behind the Mirror' with 'TheSwan'

    Shauna debriefs Olivia (and us) on the details of her European Vacation, and Olivia reveals a surprise visit of her own. Then the Junkies take a deep dive into the Hulu documentary called The Swan: Behind the Mirror, which looks at the 2004 reality show The Swan. The show had a jaw-dropping premise: take "ugly ducklings" - women who are unsatisfied with their appearance - and put them through 3 months of makeovers, including plastic surgeries, dental work, dieting, exercise, therapy and sessions with a "life coach" to make them the beautiful women they always wanted to be. The documentary features some of the contestants, producers and one of the show's two smarmy surgeons who tell us how they really felt before, during and after becoming Swans. The Swan was truly car-crash TV, and Shauna and Olivia look at the surprising (and unsurprising) revelations from the documentary and ask were any lessons learned? And could another show like this be made today?  We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers! Be the first to hear new and uncensored content, if you dare!

Olivia continues to manifest a wedding and so watched the 2001 film The Wedding Planner, starring a luminous Jennifer Lopez and the most handsome iteration of Matthew McConaughey, in a twisted tale in which you find yourself rooting for the cheaters. You can find it on Netflix.

    Why We Love Horror Comedies

    After a little travel talk (someone's going to Europe!), Olivia and Shauna get ready for Spooky Season by talking about the marriage of their two favorite cinematic genres: comedy and horror. They go back to early comedy horror blends like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and other films that poke fun at horror films and their conventions, like Young Frankenstein, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the Scary Movie series, and Shaun of the Dead - to name but a few. The Junkies discuss why they (and we) love these kinds of films so much, and break down the different types of horror comedies, and tell us about their own favorite films showcasing the lighter side of horror.  We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!

    Remembering Tim Curry

    We lost some important cultural icons recently: Dolly Parton, Gloria Steinem and the subject of this episode. Shauna and Olivia remember the one and only Tim Curry in an episode that covers his long career as an actor on the stage and on the big and small screens, and his distinguished voice acting career. Then the Junkies look at four of Curry's best roles: Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show, Wadsworth the Butler in Clue, Pennywise the Clown in the TV miniseries version of It, and as the Concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.  We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!
