1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,580
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:10,060
Welcome to this little episode of PCJ Pop

3
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:14,360
where your gals, Shauna and Olivia chat about what they're into.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,520
Just a little like a little snippet

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,460
of Pop Culture Junkie to get you through the week.

6
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:21,160
You know, just a little bit to soothe

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,640
your pain of the horrors.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,360
So what are you reading, listening to,

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,440
watching, dreaming about?

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,020
- So all I have been able to think about as of late

11
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:34,560
is the last of us.

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760
So episode two.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,160
- Oh that's what I was gonna talk about too.

14
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,440
- Yeah, episode two of the last of us.

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,620
When this comes out, you'll have at least have like a week

16
00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:48,440
time to have caught up if you aren't in.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280
- We're gonna spoil episode two.

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,360
And if you play the video game,

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,720
this isn't gonna be a spoiler.

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,720
So there you go.

21
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,560
- Literally.

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,400
- Did you know?

23
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,400
- No, I just didn't know. - I just came to Olivia.

24
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800
So I'm so glad that you didn't find out.

25
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,680
'Cause I knew.

26
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,520
- Yes.

27
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,720
- Andrew played the games.

28
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,560
- Okay.

29
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,760
- So I watched it like,

30
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,360
oh God, when's it happening?

31
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,200
When's it happening?

32
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,040
And then it kind of, she pulled out that golf club

33
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,480
and I went, oh, it's happening.

34
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,800
- Oh, it's right now.

35
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,520
Oh, it's gonna be right now.

36
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,360
- Episode two.

37
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,200
- We're doing this already.

38
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,040
- We're doing this.

39
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,880
- It was so funny.

40
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,360
It was right before the episode started.

41
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,080
I saw that Pedro Pascale was in four things this year.

42
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,840
And I was like, how the hell is this man in the last of us

43
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,120
in three freaking movies?

44
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:31,960
And then I had--

45
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,040
- I was booked and busy.

46
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800
- And then I answered the question for myself.

47
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,560
I hate that they murdered him.

48
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,400
- Yeah.

49
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,960
- 'Cause I wanna see my dill every single week.

50
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,920
- He will be in flashbacks.

51
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Because I think that they, I read an interview

52
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200
where they said that he is in other episodes.

53
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,240
That's not the last we're gonna see if him.

54
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,280
And I watched a preview for the show,

55
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,760
for the season ahead.

56
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,280
And they do have that confrontation

57
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,760
where she finds out that he killed all the fireflies.

58
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,080
So I think we're gonna have that in throwback scenes of,

59
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,240
because when we start this season,

60
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,720
him and Ellie are not in a good place.

61
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,800
Something happened to drive a wedge between them.

62
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,280
And I think it's her finding out

63
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,760
that he murdered all of those people for her.

64
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040
And that reminds me of, yes.

65
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,640
And this reminds me of our recent episode

66
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,560
about sunrise on the reeping,

67
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,560
where we talked about sacrificing the mini for the few.

68
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,200
It's morally gray, like you get why.

69
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,920
- Are you allowed to do one bad thing

70
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,280
to benefit the greater good and things like that?

71
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Yeah, absolutely.

72
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480
- Yeah, and he fucks over the greater good

73
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,080
for one person that matters to him, right?

74
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,920
- Yeah.

75
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,320
- And I'm sure that Ellie wouldn't want that.

76
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,560
- Yes, she didn't really get to consent.

77
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,440
- I was looking and the interwebs were saying

78
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,960
that the doctor that Joel kills at the end of season one,

79
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,960
wasn't actually, he wasn't even a doctor.

80
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,720
He was just a biologist, like a bachelor in biology.

81
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,560
(laughing)

82
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600
So even like funnier in the video game,

83
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,160
he's like even less qualified to be making all that.

84
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,280
Like even if you were just a surgeon,

85
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,200
like you're not gonna be making like the world's vaccine.

86
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560
- So it is very interesting to just look at it,

87
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,600
but honestly, a crazy amount of TV.

88
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,120
I loved the fight scene, like it was probably

89
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400
one of the best zombie fight scenes I've ever seen.

90
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
- Yeah, I agree, you felt it.

91
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160
And when that bloater is fighting his brother,

92
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
and it's for a minute, I was like, is he gonna die too?

93
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,440
We can't lose both of them in the same episode.

94
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,760
- He can still tell me too.

95
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,600
- Yeah.

96
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
- You can tell Tommy and Joel, okay, yeah, that he's fine.

97
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,040
And I know, this whole fucking thing is a spoiler.

98
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,360
Tommy's in the video games too,

99
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,600
and he's fine for a little bit as far as I know.

100
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600
I don't have any other spoilers beyond.

101
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600
I knew that Joel was gonna die.

102
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,120
So I'm glad that I don't know too much more going forward.

103
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320
'Cause I wanna be surprised too.

104
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,280
- I was sitting there like, what?

105
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240
- Oh, I cried, I definitely cried.

106
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,560
I also cried, okay, Andrew and I recently finished

107
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,800
Cobra Kai.

108
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,040
It finally ended.

109
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640
- Yeah, listen, listen.

110
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440
I, Cobra Kai, till you die, baby.

111
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,600
I loved the way they show ended, I cried.

112
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,200
It's goofy as hell, but it knows it's goofy as hell.

113
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,520
It knows it is.

114
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,200
And in the moment's work, almost takes itself too seriously,

115
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,680
and you go, oh, come on.

116
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,440
Then it immediately, you're like, okay, they get it.

117
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760
They know that's stupid.

118
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,360
There's a crowd fight at the water park

119
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,160
and these old men are fighting on a yacht.

120
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Okay, they know it's stupid.

121
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,000
But I loved the way that it ended

122
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,280
and for those who did watch it, the fact that it brought it

123
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,760
all back to Cobra Kai in the end.

124
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Johnny gets Cobra Kai back, right?

125
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920
I'll spoil this, it came out months ago, right?

126
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,120
Johnny gets Cobra Kai back

127
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,120
and Miguel ends up winning the championship.

128
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
It's like, it's everything that you wanted to see

129
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,000
in the finale.

130
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400
And I cried when Johnny and his old,

131
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Szympi, Szynsay.

132
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Not his Szympi, those are two very different things

133
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,000
in Japanese culture.

134
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Not really teacher, anyway.

135
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,760
I cried, I graced.

136
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,600
Yeah.

137
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,480
Him and his Szynsay made up and hugged and I cried.

138
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960
And yeah, so I've been crying in a lot of television

139
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,200
this week.

140
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,560
Gonna start your period for sure.

141
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,480
It's the other thing that I would pop to watch

142
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,320
her consume is this new Netflix documentary.

143
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000
It's called Bad Influence.

144
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,200
And it's about this woman, this mom, I think it is Ashley,

145
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,880
but it's about the kid influencer, Piper Raquel

146
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,040
and how her mother is very much exploiting her.

147
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,520
And she's about to turn 18 and it's getting really

148
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
freaking creepy and weird.

149
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,200
And she's like saying she's going to start an only fans

150
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,160
for her which is 18.

151
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,040
And she's been doing this since she was 10 years old.

152
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,440
I'm making it more and more aggressive and sexual content.

153
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,160
They talk about it.

154
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,520
And they have, it's a multi episode, "Dockey" series.

155
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880
It's really, really interesting.

156
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880
I talked about the Ruby Frankie one.

157
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,920
I think there are some really, really interesting

158
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
documentaries coming out about kid influencing,

159
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,520
family vlogs.

160
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,480
There's also one on HBO called an update on our family,

161
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
which is about this in this YouTube couple

162
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,680
who adopted a kid and then gave it away.

163
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Oh, yeah.

164
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Oh, absolutely.

165
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,040
OK, one last time before we wrap this up,

166
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520
tell me the name of that one that you started with again.

167
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,520
Bad influence.

168
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,280
Bad influence.

169
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:02,800
Yep.

170
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,160
And then an update on our family.

171
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,640
So we recommend that you check out the last of us,

172
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,880
which is currently on HBO Max and season two.

173
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880
Check out "Cobra Kai" if you've been watching it this whole time.

174
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Go ahead and see how it ends.

175
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,200
And then check out "Bad Influence,"

176
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,640
which you can find on Netflix.

177
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,320
