Best and Worst: Pop Culture Witches

This week, Shauna and Olivia get a little witchy and expose the history of witches in pop culture. Going back as far as Shakespeare's trio of witchy prognosticators in Macbeth through the domesticated witches of the mid 1900s, today's heroic and/or villainous Marvel witches, the Junkies talk about how witches can be representative of themes like female identity, adolescence, autonomy, sexuality and power. Then they dish on their favorite witches, the worst witches, and what powers they'd love to possess if they were magical.  You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Preview

Olivia and Shauna gird their loins for the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a 20-years-in-the-making follow-up to the iconic Meryl Streep/Anne Hathaway film about a naive wannabe journalist working for the toughest editor in fashion journalism. The Junkies discuss watching the movie for the first time some 20 years ago and how their perspective the film has changed over time. Was Miranda really such a bad person? Would the position of her assistant really be that hard? And who really is the film's villain? The discussion does contain some mild spoilers to the original, so be warned. But nothing is spoiled when they predict what's going to happen in the sequel - check back here once you've seen it and see how close they came to being correct.  We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!
