Comfort Viewing: What We Watch to Feel Better

Comfort Viewing: What We Watch to Feel Better

Author: Pop Culture Junkie June 6, 2024 Duration: 41:47
The Junkies discuss what they are looking forward to as summer approaches. Shauna is looking forward to having two functional feet again, and also some of her pop culture wishes to come true, like new Marvel content - chiefly, the new Agatha All Along series. The only Agatha that Olivia cares about is Agatha Christie, but she's always thinking about reading. Speaking of books, Nicole is looking forward to the new TJ Newman book, and if you don't know who TJ Newman is, Nicole will tell you all about the Phoenix-based former flight attendant who now writes thrillers set on airplanes. Olivia will be continuing her jet-set lifestyle, both for work and for enjoyment, and is planning divorce parties for all of her friends. Look out, Shauna! Then the Junkies discuss comfort viewing, which could be movies or television, but just whatever you watch when you need something that you know will make you feel good when the world feels so bad. You'd be surprised how much feel-good content involves, cooking, BFFs and vampires.
