    Smizing, Spielberg, and a Side of Survival: Our July 4th Binge List!
    Jul 10 2026
    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.
