Shudder Buddies

Line jump! We're sinking our teeth into Saccharine (2026), a movie about weight loss, GLP-1s, and eating human ashes! Cyrus and Katie both liked a lot about this one, but also discuss a few of the elements that undermined the idea of body-positivity and looped right back around to fatphobia. That being said, this movie was still a real feast for the eyes.

Conversation includes our car-buying woes, the merits of just Winnie-the-Pooh-ing, and how long is too long for a jerking off scene. Support the show
