  Welcome to this little episode of PCJ Pop
• 0:10
  where your gals, Shauna and Olivia chat about what they're into.
• 0:14
  Just a little like a little snippet
• 0:16
  of Pop Culture Junkie to get you through the week.
• 0:18
  You know, just a little bit to soothe
• 0:21
  your pain of the horrors.
• 0:23
  So what are you reading, listening to,
• 0:26
  watching, dreaming about?
• 0:28
  - So all I have been able to think about as of late
• 0:33
  is the last of us.
• 0:34
  So episode two.
• 0:36
  - Oh that's what I was gonna talk about too.
• 0:38
  - Yeah, episode two of the last of us.
• 0:41
  When this comes out, you'll have at least have like a week
• 0:45
  time to have caught up if you aren't in.
• 0:48
  - We're gonna spoil episode two.
• 0:50
  And if you play the video game,
• 0:51
  this isn't gonna be a spoiler.
• 0:52
  So there you go.
• 0:53
  - Literally.
• 0:54
  - Did you know?
• 0:55
  - No, I just didn't know. - I just came to Olivia.
• 0:56
  So I'm so glad that you didn't find out.
• 0:58
  'Cause I knew.
• 0:59
  - Yes.
• 1:00
  - Andrew played the games.
• 1:01
  - Okay.
• 1:02
  - So I watched it like,
• 1:05
  oh God, when's it happening?
• 1:07
  When's it happening?
• 1:08
  And then it kind of, she pulled out that golf club
• 1:11
  and I went, oh, it's happening.
• 1:12
  - Oh, it's right now.
• 1:13
  Oh, it's gonna be right now.
• 1:15
  - Episode two.
• 1:16
  - We're doing this already.
• 1:17
  - We're doing this.
• 1:18
  - It was so funny.
• 1:18
  It was right before the episode started.
• 1:21
  I saw that Pedro Pascale was in four things this year.
• 1:25
  And I was like, how the hell is this man in the last of us
• 1:28
  in three freaking movies?
• 1:31
  And then I had--
• 1:31
  - I was booked and busy.
• 1:33
  - And then I answered the question for myself.
• 1:35
  I hate that they murdered him.
• 1:40
  - Yeah.
• 1:41
  - 'Cause I wanna see my dill every single week.
• 1:44
  - He will be in flashbacks.
• 1:46
  Because I think that they, I read an interview
• 1:49
  where they said that he is in other episodes.
• 1:52
  That's not the last we're gonna see if him.
• 1:54
  And I watched a preview for the show,
• 1:57
  for the season ahead.
• 1:58
  And they do have that confrontation
• 2:01
  where she finds out that he killed all the fireflies.
• 2:04
  So I think we're gonna have that in throwback scenes of,
• 2:09
  because when we start this season,
• 2:11
  him and Ellie are not in a good place.
• 2:13
  Something happened to drive a wedge between them.
• 2:16
  And I think it's her finding out
• 2:18
  that he murdered all of those people for her.
• 2:21
  And that reminds me of, yes.
• 2:24
  And this reminds me of our recent episode
• 2:26
  about sunrise on the reeping,
• 2:28
  where we talked about sacrificing the mini for the few.
• 2:33
  It's morally gray, like you get why.
• 2:39
  - Are you allowed to do one bad thing
• 2:40
  to benefit the greater good and things like that?
• 2:44
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:45
  - Yeah, and he fucks over the greater good
• 2:47
  for one person that matters to him, right?
• 2:50
  - Yeah.
• 2:50
  - And I'm sure that Ellie wouldn't want that.
• 2:53
  - Yes, she didn't really get to consent.
• 2:55
  - I was looking and the interwebs were saying
• 2:59
  that the doctor that Joel kills at the end of season one,
• 3:03
  wasn't actually, he wasn't even a doctor.
• 3:06
  He was just a biologist, like a bachelor in biology.
• 3:10
  (laughing)
• 3:11
  So even like funnier in the video game,
• 3:13
  he's like even less qualified to be making all that.
• 3:17
  Like even if you were just a surgeon,
• 3:19
  like you're not gonna be making like the world's vaccine.
• 3:23
  - So it is very interesting to just look at it,
• 3:26
  but honestly, a crazy amount of TV.
• 3:30
  I loved the fight scene, like it was probably
• 3:34
  one of the best zombie fight scenes I've ever seen.
• 3:37
  - Yeah, I agree, you felt it.
• 3:39
  And when that bloater is fighting his brother,
• 3:42
  and it's for a minute, I was like, is he gonna die too?
• 3:44
  We can't lose both of them in the same episode.
• 3:46
  - He can still tell me too.
• 3:47
  - Yeah.
• 3:48
  - You can tell Tommy and Joel, okay, yeah, that he's fine.
• 3:51
  And I know, this whole fucking thing is a spoiler.
• 3:55
  Tommy's in the video games too,
• 3:56
  and he's fine for a little bit as far as I know.
• 3:58
  I don't have any other spoilers beyond.
• 4:01
  I knew that Joel was gonna die.
• 4:03
  So I'm glad that I don't know too much more going forward.
• 4:07
  'Cause I wanna be surprised too.
• 4:09
  - I was sitting there like, what?
• 4:11
  - Oh, I cried, I definitely cried.
• 4:14
  I also cried, okay, Andrew and I recently finished
• 4:17
  Cobra Kai.
• 4:18
  It finally ended.
• 4:21
  - Yeah, listen, listen.
• 4:23
  I, Cobra Kai, till you die, baby.
• 4:27
  I loved the way they show ended, I cried.
• 4:30
  It's goofy as hell, but it knows it's goofy as hell.
• 4:35
  It knows it is.
• 4:36
  And in the moment's work, almost takes itself too seriously,
• 4:39
  and you go, oh, come on.
• 4:40
  Then it immediately, you're like, okay, they get it.
• 4:43
  They know that's stupid.
• 4:45
  There's a crowd fight at the water park
• 4:47
  and these old men are fighting on a yacht.
• 4:49
  Okay, they know it's stupid.
• 4:51
  But I loved the way that it ended
• 4:53
  and for those who did watch it, the fact that it brought it
• 4:56
  all back to Cobra Kai in the end.
• 4:58
  Johnny gets Cobra Kai back, right?
• 5:00
  I'll spoil this, it came out months ago, right?
• 5:03
  Johnny gets Cobra Kai back
• 5:06
  and Miguel ends up winning the championship.
• 5:09
  It's like, it's everything that you wanted to see
• 5:11
  in the finale.
• 5:13
  And I cried when Johnny and his old,
• 5:16
  Szympi, Szynsay.
• 5:20
  Not his Szympi, those are two very different things
• 5:22
  in Japanese culture.
• 5:24
  Not really teacher, anyway.
• 5:28
  I cried, I graced.
• 5:28
  Yeah.
• 5:29
  Him and his Szynsay made up and hugged and I cried.
• 5:33
  And yeah, so I've been crying in a lot of television
• 5:35
  this week.
• 5:37
  Gonna start your period for sure.
• 5:39
  It's the other thing that I would pop to watch
• 5:44
  her consume is this new Netflix documentary.
• 5:49
  It's called Bad Influence.
• 5:52
  And it's about this woman, this mom, I think it is Ashley,
• 5:57
  but it's about the kid influencer, Piper Raquel
• 6:00
  and how her mother is very much exploiting her.
• 6:06
  And she's about to turn 18 and it's getting really
• 6:09
  freaking creepy and weird.
• 6:11
  And she's like saying she's going to start an only fans
• 6:16
  for her which is 18.
• 6:18
  And she's been doing this since she was 10 years old.
• 6:22
  I'm making it more and more aggressive and sexual content.
• 6:26
  They talk about it.
• 6:27
  And they have, it's a multi episode, "Dockey" series.
• 6:31
  It's really, really interesting.
• 6:33
  I talked about the Ruby Frankie one.
• 6:35
  I think there are some really, really interesting
• 6:37
  documentaries coming out about kid influencing,
• 6:40
  family vlogs.
• 6:42
  There's also one on HBO called an update on our family,
• 6:46
  which is about this in this YouTube couple
• 6:49
  who adopted a kid and then gave it away.
• 6:53
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:54
  Oh, absolutely.
• 6:55
  OK, one last time before we wrap this up,
• 6:58
  tell me the name of that one that you started with again.
• 7:00
  Bad influence.
• 7:01
  Bad influence.
• 7:02
  Yep.
• 7:02
  And then an update on our family.
• 7:05
  So we recommend that you check out the last of us,
• 7:07
  which is currently on HBO Max and season two.
