Got Beef?

from Pop Culture Junkie® · host Pop Culture Junkie

Celebrities are not like us: when they bicker amongst themselves, it's all over the news, and maybe even the Super Bowl half-time show. Shauna and Olivia break down why celebrities feud publicly - and why we like it so much. Olivia thinks maybe it's a way to satisfy our deep-seated need for interpersonal conflict in ways we mere mortals can't achieve in our petty office spats, while Shauna thinks we just really enjoy laughing at the rich, famous, and ridiculous. And both agree, these beefs can be great publicity tools. Then the Junkies look at some of the more notable rivalries, going back to Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor, and each lay out their favorite among the feuds. And who would they start beef with? The answers may surprise you. (Or not, if you have been listening to this podcast a while.) You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!
