Pop Culture Junkie®

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!

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!
