Animated Thirst Traps

Animated Thirst Traps

Author: Pop Culture Junkie July 20, 2023 Duration: 48:29
Nicole is addicted to Hot Ones – the show where celebrities try to engage in conversation while consuming ever more deadly hot wings, and Shauna has succumbed to the lure of the second season of And Just Like That. Speaking of needing an intervention, Olivia’s friends stage one to help her with her true crime addiction. Olivia then enlists Shauna and Nicole to help her get The Weeknd removed from any future episodes of The Idol. Then The Junkies confess which animated characters, well, awakened something in them as a young person. Who would choose Gaston over The Beast and Belle? Who thinks Max Goof is all that? And who began a lifelong addiction to skinny nerdy dudes because of Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire? You’ll have to listen to find out.
