    Binge or Cringe: Breaking Down the 78th Annual Emmy Award Nominations
    2026/07/13
    What happens when you mix a legendary Law & Order icon making history as a host, a hospital drama leading the pack with 25 nominations, and a heated debate over whether The Bear is actually a comedy? On this episode of Binge or Cringe, hosts Suzi Lazarus and Jamie Joffe dive into the star-studded nominations for the 78th Annual Emmy Awards. They break down the heavy hitters, starting with the surprising choice of Mariska Hargitay as the first non-comedy host and the massive nomination counts for The Pit and Hacks. Suzi and Jamie tackle the Outstanding Drama category, debating if Noah Wyle’s performance in The Pit can beat out favorites like The Diplomat and The Gilded Age. They also get into the "nitty-gritty" of the Comedy categories, questioning the genre-bending placement of The Bear while rooting for underdogs like Shrinking and Margo’s Got Money Troubles. The discussion heats up as they move through the lead acting categories, from Rhea Seehorn’s standout work in Pluribus to the sheer likability of Jason Segel. Plus, they explore the Limited Series field, pitting the psychological intensity of The Beast in Me against the nostalgia of Love Story: JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. To wrap things up, the hosts sound off on the biggest snubs of the year—including the shocking exclusion of John Hamm from the Drama Actor category—and place their bets on whether The Traitors can topple Survivor in Reality TV. Will Jean Smart sweep the board for the final season of Hacks? And can Jamie forgive the Academy for the John Hamm snub?

    2026/07/10
    What happens when you mix a "smizing" supermodel’s judging return, a Denise Richards wilderness survival nightmare, and the ultimate tennis rivalry-turned-friendship? On this episode of Binge or Cringe, hosts Suzi Lazarus and Jamie Joffe serve up a post-holiday gossip feast, starting with Tyra Banks joining the judging panel for the new season of Project Runway. The ladies dive into Tyra’s high-stakes defamation lawsuit against Netflix and why they’re desperately praying she brings her iconic “We were rooting for you!” energy to the runway. Jamie breaks down her theater trip to see Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, debating whether Emily Blunt’s performance is Oscar-worthy enough to make up for some seriously “1982-style” CGI. Meanwhile, Suzi is still pulling everyone “for a chat” as she navigates her full-time job of watching Love Island UK and USA simultaneously. But the real madness starts with Hunting Housewives—a Lifetime-turned-Netflix fever dream that Jamie describes as “Yellowjackets meets The Real Housewives.” Between Denise Richards orchestrating a plane crash and a bow-and-arrow-wielding psycho in the woods, is this show a campy masterpiece or a total cringe-fest? Plus, the ladies get emotional over the Netflix documentary Chris & Martina: The Final Set, revealing the surprising origin of the "tennis bracelet" and how two of the world’s biggest rivals are now fighting the same battle off the court. Will the Legally Blonde prequel Elle live up to the original? And can Jamie survive Suzi’s high-stakes trivia game, “What, Like It’s Hard?” Grab your headphones and tune in to the full episode of Binge or Cringe to find out which shows are worth the holiday binge and which ones are the ultimate cringes.
