Fans Ruin Everything

Joey, Banana, Splash and Hayley the Brave and Strong (aka the Pop Culture Junkies) talk about their nicknames and how they got them. In other news, January is finally over (!) and the Junkies are looking forward to a new month full of new beginnings. It’s Black History Month, and Alex and Hayley discuss the best shows and movies to watch now and all of the time. Nicole starts the Pop Culture Junkie Book Club, and Shauna gives How I Met Your Father a resounding “meh”. Then it’s on to news, including Tom Brady’s retirement, Khloe Kardashian’s chicken hands, and Joe Rogan’s apology after his podcast caused a lot of artists to pull their music off Spotify in protest. Then the Junkies talk about fan service, fan-casting and fan fiction, and who would be the ‘ship in Pop Culture Junkie fanfic.<br /><br />Thank you to Olympus Games, the home of the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast.<br /><br />Links:<br /><br />Apple Podcast:<br /><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-junkie/id1536737728" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-junkie/id1536737728</a><br /><br />Spotify:<br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W" rel="noopener">https://open.spotify.com/show/7k2pUxzNDBXNCHzFM7EL8W</a><br /><br />Website: <a href="http://www.popculturejunkie.com" rel="noopener">www.popculturejunkie.com</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PopCultureJunkiePodcast" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/PopCultureJunkiePodcast</a><br />Twitter: @PopJunkies<br />Instagram: @pop.culturejunkies<br /><br />Email: <a href="mailto:junkies@popculturejunkie.com">junkies@popculturejunkie.com</a><br />Alex on Instagram: @alcasnun<br />Alex on Twitter: @alcasnun<br /><br />Hayley on Instagram: @thirtynerdythriving<br /><br />Nicole on Instagram: @nicole_eldridge<br />Nicole on Twitter: @naeldridge14<br />Nicole on TikTok: @nicole_eldridge<br /><br />Shauna on Twitter: @shaunatrinidad<br />Shauna on Instagram: @shaunatrinidad
