Binge or Cringe

About Binge or Cringe

TV is our therapy! Binge or Cringe is the podcast and video series for anyone who has ever opened a streaming app and realized that choosing what to watch has become its own full-time job. Jamie Joffe and Suzi Lazarus are here every week to discuss what is worth your time, what is getting more attention than it deserves, and what should be skipped without guilt. Because TV is not just TV anymore. It’s a commitment.. It is therapy. It is escape. It is the thing we turn on when we want to feel something, avoid something or understand why everyone is suddenly talking about the same British detective. On Binge or Cringe, we break down the shows, movies, documentaries, reality TV moments, Bravo drama, guilty pleasures, streaming obsessions and pop culture conversations taking over the group chat. We ask the only question that really matters: Is it a binge, or is it a cringe? Expect honest reviews, strong opinions, inappropriate laughter and TV conversations that go slightly off course in the most necessary way. Whether you are looking for what to watch this weekend, what to skip or what everyone will be talking about by Monday, we’ve got you. Binge or Cringe. We know you like to watch.

Railroad Daddies, Red Flags, and Kim K’s Courtroom: Binging the Best (and Worst) of TV

Published 4 Nov 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] All right. On November 4th, Prime Video is The Greatest. The Greatest focuses on Cassius Clay, who you might know as Muhammad Ali. It's a scripted drama that was produced by his wife, which is interesting, to follow not only... the fights and the fame, but also talk about his family life and his convictions. If you remember, I believe it was the army that he got drafted and it was a whole entire thing. And it's, it's going to be more of a portrait of him and his life behind the fights. Interesting. I know that it's eight episodes, right? It's eight episodes. Eight episodes. And. That seems like a lot, but he had a huge life. […]
