  • Title: Toxic Moms, Murderous In-Laws, and Sharon Horgan’s New Hit

    Title: Toxic Moms, Murderous In-Laws, and Sharon Horgan’s New Hit
    Sep 29 2026
    Welcome back to Binge or Cringe! This week, Jamie Joffe and Suzi Lazarus are diving deep into the latest TV hits, misses, and the straight-up baffling. We start with a look at the 60 Minutes interview with Patrick Clancy—was it a hard-hitting investigative piece or just a total puff piece? (Spoiler: we have thoughts). Then, we’re back in the world of the Real Housewives! We dish on the RHONY reboot, including why Carol Radziwill is back, Jessel’s mean-girl vibes, and Sai’s secrets. We also touch on the heartbreaking season premiere of RHOSLC and how the women are supporting Mary. In our binge-worthy thriller segment, Jamie breaks down the Dutch series The Perfect Lie on Netflix—think mom groups, Molly, and murder. Plus, we look at the wild true-crime story of Dan Markel in Hulu’s Welcome to the Family. Finally, we talk Sharon Horgan’s brilliant new comedy Youth, the cringe-worthy adult acting in Crew Girl, and why Jamie is (and Suzi is not) excited for the return of the creepy clown in American Horror Story Season 13.

  • Joffe Family Takeover: Sibling Secrets, Scary Movies, and Who’s Burying the Body?

    Joffe Family Takeover: Sibling Secrets, Scary Movies, and Who’s Burying the Body?
    Sep 24 2026
    Suzi is off on a well-deserved vacation, so I’ve officially hijacked the pod! Since I couldn't find anyone better (just kidding… mostly), I brought in the Joffe A-Team: my siblings! I’m joined by my sister Lauren, a high-flying editor for Reuters; my brother Douglas, a top-tier sports agent; and David, our resident screenwriter and investor. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of Joffe family dynamics. We talk about the movies that absolutely traumatized us as kids (thanks for scaring us into submission with The Fly, Dad!), why Lauren used to chase me around the house yelling "Fuzz," and which one of us is most likely to turn a regular outing into a full-blown performance. We also dive into our current binges—everything from The Bear and Ted Lasso to Midnight Diner and The Night Manager. Douglas reveals his unexpected expertise on Disney Princesses, David talks Bloomberg and the Sopranos, and we play a high-stakes round of "Who would you draft to help you bury a body?" (Spoiler: David is great with a shovel). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Cakes, Twins, and Financial Wins with Neil Canell

    Cakes, Twins, and Financial Wins with Neil Canell
    Sep 16 2026
    Welcome back to Binge or Cringe! This week, Suzi and Jamie are joined by a very special guest—private wealth financial advisor and managing director, Neil Canell. With over 30 years in the business, Neil isn't just a pro at managing money; he's a hardcore TV fan and a "Binge or Cringe" community legend. We dive into Neil’s life as a twin working alongside his brother, the hilarious (and slightly messy) tradition of his office’s annual cake-eating contest, and his very specific rules for TV viewing—from his reliance on subtitles to his "no-eating-in-bed" policy. Plus, Neil shares his top gritty drama recommendations like Lioness, Fauda, and Mobland, and explains why he always watches the trailer before committing to a show. Whether you're here for the financial talk or the cake-eating tips, this is one episode you won't want to skip! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Deep Diving into Love Is Blind UK and Housewives Drama! (Plus Special Guest Jill S!)

    Deep Diving into Love Is Blind UK and Housewives Drama! (Plus Special Guest Jill S!)
    Sep 3 2026
    This week on Binge or Cringe, Suzi and Jamie are joined by a very special guest and long-time member, Jill! The ladies are pulling no punches as they recap the most talked-about reality TV of the summer. First, we head across the pond for a full breakdown of Love Is Blind UK. We’re talking about the couples that made us swoon (hello, Sophie and Taylor!) and the ones that made us reach for the wine. From Shev’s "pushy" pod tactics to the "ADHD superpower" of Jack, and the heartbreaking reality of Yasmine and Jordan’s connection—we’re dissecting the reunion and asking: is the UK version officially superior to the US? Then, the tea gets even hotter as we pivot to the Real Housewives. We’re discussing: RHUGT (Ultimate Girls Trip): The "roaring" 20th anniversary, the iconic return of Nene Leakes (give her a peach back already!), and why the Salt Lake City girls are rubbing Suzi the wrong way. RHOC (Orange County): Shannon Beador’s financial struggles, Heather’s "Regina George" era, and the marriage dynamic between Emily and Shane that has us all cringing. We wrap things up with a hilarious game of "Reality Would You Rather." Would you rather be trapped in an elevator with a sick Ramona Singer or have your nastiest texts read aloud by Andy Cohen? Grab a drink and get comfortable—it's time to decide: is it a Binge or a Cringe? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Studio 54 Dreams & Reality TV Screams: The Ultimate Watchlist!

    Studio 54 Dreams & Reality TV Screams: The Ultimate Watchlist!
    Aug 28 2026
    Hey everyone, it’s Jamie and Suzi! We’re back and, let’s be honest, we haven’t stopped talking since our last episode. This week, we’re diving deep into everything that’s kept us glued to our screens (and off the Philly streets). First up, Jamie finally achieved her life dream at Studio 54! We’re talking original cast members from Rent, 80s vibes, and a disco queen moment that was 1,000% worth the trip. But don’t worry, we get right back into the grit with the wild true crime story Around the World with 30 Kilos—because nothing says "luxury cruise" like a side of cocaine smuggling, right? We’re also breaking down: Rider or Die: Suzi’s latest obsession featuring assassins and the ultimate BFF goals. Ingrid Goes West: A throwback to 2017 that is too real for anyone who’s ever been a little too obsessed with an Instagram influencer. Trying: Our favorite British comfort watch. It’s warm, it’s smart, and we’re officially rooting for Nikki and Jason. Love is Blind UK: Is the UK version actually better than the US? (The accents definitely help!) We’re checking in on all the pod drama before the big reunion. Someone Knows Something: A haunting cold case investigation that has us both completely mesmerized. Whether it’s a total binge or a major cringe, we’ve got the tea. Grab your popcorn and let’s dive in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • 4th Wall Fails, Reptile Kings, and the ‘Stud’ of the Sea

    4th Wall Fails, Reptile Kings, and the ‘Stud’ of the Sea
    Aug 20 2026
    Go Birds! (And go Knicks, we guess?) Jamie and Suzi are back and things are getting heated—and we’re not just talking about Jamie’s August Eagles hat. This week, we’re checking into the House of Stassi, but the vibes are definitely not “Next Level Basic.” Suzi is calling out the constant 4th-wall breaking and Stassi’s “thirsty” producer energy. Is it a binge? Or is Stassi just making us cringe? Then, we dive into the deep end with Netflix’s The Last House. It’s a survival thriller that felt a little too much like it was written by AI. We’ve got thoughts on the sea monsters, the "boat to nowhere," and why you should never, ever use your dog for bait. Plus, things get scaly with HBO’s Monster of God. From Philly reptile dealers to Jamie’s old secretary who shared a bed with a Komodo Dragon (yes, really), we’re obsessed with these “sick b—tches” and their underground snake trades. Finally, we’re hitting the high seas with Below Deck Med. We’re talking about the grossest bunk situation in Bravo history (wash the sheets, people!) and Suzi puts Jamie to the test with a game of “Is it the Stud of the Sea or is it Me?” See if you can tell the difference between a real Captain Lee-ism and Suzi’s 2:00 AM brain.

Sterling Point: A deep dive into the secrets, lies, and family drama on a private Canadian island in this Prime Video hit about a New York teen discovering her past.

  • Subtitles, Streaming Secrets, and the "Socializer": A Deep Dive with David L. Freidberg

    Subtitles, Streaming Secrets, and the "Socializer": A Deep Dive with David L. Freidberg
    Aug 13 2026
    What happens when a high-powered attorney becomes a "househusband" by day and a professional binger by night? On this episode of Binge or Cringe, hosts Suzi Lazarus and Jamie Joffe welcome their first-ever community guest: the infamous (or famous, depending on who you ask) David L. Freidberg. Known in the Facebook group as the "Socializer," David brings his sharp wit, legal mind, and unfiltered opinions to the table to discuss the state of modern television. David opens up about his transition from a voracious reader to a TV addict, explaining how he balances courtroom appearances on Zoom with his domestic duties—like "towel day"—all while powering through entire seasons in a single day. The trio dives into the "Subtitles vs. Dubbing" war, with David explaining why he’d rather read his TV than listen to a poorly dubbed version of hits like Money Heist. The discussion gets heated as David sounds off on his distaste for Network TV and anything Shonda Rhimes touches, while Jamie and Suzi grill him on his secret membership in the exclusive "Netflix Premiere Club." From the gritty streets of Gangs of London to the Turkish charm of The Tailor, David shares his secrets for finding the best international gems. Suzi and Jamie also get David’s take on the latest hits, including the "money grab" of Big Little Lies Season 2 and why Matthew Rhys can do no wrong. Plus, they look ahead to the return of Ted Lasso, the upcoming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, and the highly anticipated second season of The Gentleman on Netflix. Is David’s high-speed binging a total binge or a major cringe? And will Jamie ever forgive him for not inviting her to a Netflix premiere?
