    Altar Disasters, "Sore Losers," and Red Flags: The Love is Blind Wedding Recap with Jill Florin
    Nov 6 2026
    The weddings have finally arrived, and the results are... well, exactly what we expected. This week, Jamie and Suzi are joined by long-time moderator and reality TV superfan, Jill, to perform a post-mortem on the absolute train wreck that was Love is Blind Season 11 (Boston edition). We’re holding nothing back as we discuss Blake’s "sore loser" exit, the baffling (and slightly terrifying) dynamic between Anaeha and Cam, and why Wilney and Wilson’s relationship was doomed from the first arm-hair pluck. Plus, we dive into the Sarah and John saga—from their complete lack of political and moral alignment to the "alleged" post-show cheating scandals involving an escort. Was this the worst-cast season in the show's history? (Spoiler: yes). But it’s not all altar-side drama! Jill raves about the dark and "unmissable" Apple TV series Nocturn, Jamie shares her progress on the "psychic" thriller Phony, and we look forward to the return of everyone's favorite gentleman thief in Lupin. Finally, we wrap up with Jamie’s ongoing battle with Mahjong and the ladies’ essential "whacked" drinking game for every time a red flag pops up on screen. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Welcome back to Binge or Cringe! This week, Jamie and Suzi are joined by our longest-running moderator and reality TV expert, Jill, to break down a massive week of television. We’re kicking things off in 1880s New York with Season 2 of The Gilded Age on HBO. We discuss "Railroad Daddy" George Russell, Bertha’s relentless social climbing, and why this show is the perfect weekly watch. Then, we dive into the absolute chaos of Love is Blind Season 11 (Boston edition). From Rob’s "what a woman" energy to Michaela’s therapeutic composure, and the confusing chemistry between Wilson and Wilney, we dissect every red flag and "what the f***" moment in the pods. The trio also tackles the casting controversy of Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair—how does Kim Kardashian end up center-stage over legends like Glenn Close and Naomi Watts? Plus, we take a look at the heavy-hitting documentaries Taken: Natalie Hollowayand the occult-centered Swipe Right on the Devil. Finally, we catch up on the RHOC Reunion, the return of Black Doves with Keira Knightley, and Jamie’s ongoing (and losing) battle with the game of Mahjong. Learn more about your ad choices.

    This week on Binge or Cringe, Jamie Joffe and Suzi Lazarus are joined by a true community legend: their long-time moderator, Vikki Sloviter. Known for her signature letter-grade reviews, Vikki dives into her high-speed TV consumption habits, including her ability to juggle five shows at once—a stark contrast to Suzi’s struggle to get her husband, Rick, through a single episode.

The trio also dishes on the "alleged" scandals of the Today Show kitchen, the undeniable appeal of a dancing Tom Hiddleston, and why Vikki would choose binging with David L. Friedberg over Neil Canell. Plus, Vikki shares her top picks for the fall, including Florence Pugh’s East of Eden and high-stakes mountaineering documentaries on Apple and Netflix.

    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.

    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
