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.

Olivia and Shauna discuss their summer plans: Olivia's seeing as much live music as possible, and Shauna's just trying to beat the punishing Phoenix heat...at an emo/anime dance party? The Junkies then discuss how to celebrate our nation's birthday in these...challenging times, and they decide there's no better way than to watch Independence Day from 1996. Why not flash back to the time when we all felt good about our country, and also about Will Smith? The Junkies get nostalgic about their first time watching the film, and about having a hot president who spoke in complete sentences. Having recently rewatched the movie, they debate whether the film still stands up after nearly 30 years, and take a look at the 2016 sequel that practically no one saw. The Junkies wonder what the next Independence Day sequel could be about...if there were another alien invasion, would it not be an improvement on the current state of affairs?

In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday. This week, Shauna is all about Dexter: Original Sin as she awaits the next entry in the Dexter-verse, and Olivia recommends the AI-gone-wrong thriller Companion.

Shauna shares her upcoming cosplay plans, while Olivia shares her musical revenge against a petty neighbor, and they both wonder if the podcast is becoming a little too murder-y (or is it just murder-y enough?) Then it's time to preview the films that will be keeping them both indoors during the heat (or fog) this summer. Olivia's looking forward to the film that may just revive the romcom, while Shauna has her eyes on some high-profile superhero reboots, and both plan to take in at least one of the summer's inevitable sequels.

In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday. This week, Olivia wants you to watch Overcompensating on Prime starring TikTok-er Benito Skinner so she gets a second season, and Shauna has only good things to say about the books Bonfire and Retreat, by Krysten Ritter (yes, THAT Krysten Ritter.)

The Junkies compare vacations: Shauna stayed in a hostel and didn’t get murdered (yay!) and Olivia enjoyed the Big Little Lies vibes at an oyster farm north of San Francisco. Then it’s time to talk zombies: specifically the scary-fast ones featured in the 28 Days Later movie series. They both can’t wait for the premiere of the third movie, 28 Years Later, and go back to relive the events leading up to it. (Warning, spoilers for 23- and 18-year-old movies within.) Shauna loves a good end of the world story, Olivia loves the 28 Weeks Later more than the original, and both of them love Cillian Murphy, even when he’s not nude. Find a bunker and join us for the end of the world, and what comes after that.

This week, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday. Shauna recs Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Olivia pushes everyone to see Speak No Evil with James McAvoy.

This week, Shauna and Olivia are finally face to face and back in the studio after Olivia temporarily cures her Seasonal Affect Disorder with a trip to the sunny desert from gloomy San Francisco. After a brief celebration, the Junkies turn to one of today's most serious problems: Katy Perry. Once a teenage dream, now a middle-aged nightmare, Katy only seems to make headlines for ill-advised and tone-deaf actions. Shauna and Olivia remember Katy's golden years when she was a "Firework" dancing with Left Shark and break down how that led to insincere feminism, being weird in space and getting trolled by Wendy's.
