Soundtrack to a Recession

Soundtrack to a Recession

Author: Pop Culture Junkie August 29, 2024 Duration: 55:29
Shauna is obsessed with getting through this journey we call life, and what better way to do that than with a little bit of pop culture? She has controversial takes on the finales of both House of the Dragon and The Bear, and watching the Love Island reunion makes her wonder if she should catch the U.K. episodes. Olivia speaks out in defense of Blake Lively, who got roasted about stuff her hubby didn’t when his new movie came out. And a new documentary about the murder of Laci Peterson has her wondering if the husband really was the killer. Then the Junkies look at how certain music trends seem to accompany hard times economically. Can you use the popularity of Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter to know when it’s time to start hoarding resources? Listen and find out!
