Why We Love Horror Comedies
Oct 1, 202635 minS7
After a little travel talk (someone's going to Europe!), Olivia and Shauna get ready for Spooky Season by talking about the marriage of their two favorite cinematic genres: comedy and horror. They go back to early comedy horror blends like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and other films that poke fun at horror films and their conventions, like Young Frankenstein, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the Scary Movie series, and Shaun of the Dead - to name but a few. The Junkies discuss why they (and we) love these kinds of films so much, and break down the different types of horror comedies, and tell us about their own favorite films showcasing the lighter side of horror.

Episode #195
Remembering Tim Curry
Sep 17, 202634 minS7
We lost some important cultural icons recently: Dolly Parton, Gloria Steinem and the subject of this episode. Shauna and Olivia remember the one and only Tim Curry in an episode that covers his long career as an actor on the stage and on the big and small screens, and his distinguished voice acting career. Then the Junkies look at four of Curry's best roles: Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show, Wadsworth the Butler in Clue, Pennywise the Clown in the TV miniseries version of It, and as the Concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

In PCJ Pops, the Pop Culture Junkies share their recommendations on what to experience in pop culture, today and yesterday. Olivia recently enjoyed the combined hotness of Jessica Alba and the late Paul Walker in Into the Blue from 2005. Directed by John Stockwell, the film follows divers who get more than treasure when they find a sunken plane loaded with coke. The film is available on Amazon Prime.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
