Binge it Babe! with Candace Estelle

Hey babes, this episode is different—raw, intimate, and deeply personal. I’m introducing you to Sola, the memoir I wrote, a story that’s as dark as it is honest. In this episode, I read the In Memoriam, the dedication, and the first chapter, Let Me Puke Little Horrors. It’s vulnerable, emotional, and maybe a little haunting—but this book is a piece of me, and I’m ready to share it with you.

Hey babes, we’re back! Season Two of Binge It Babe kicks off with a storm—literally. We’re diving into The Day After Tomorrow, the early 2000s disaster flick that made climate change look terrifyingly dramatic (and somehow still relevant today). In this silly, chaotic, and slightly existential episode, we break down the science, the action, and why Hollywood just loves watching cities freeze over. Is this movie ridiculous? Yes. Could we actually be heading toward an apocalypse like this? Also yes?? Let’s talk extreme weather, bad science, and why I won't be doing any rom-coms during this romantic time.

Hey babes, it’s a bittersweet moment as we wrap up Season 1 of Binge It Babe! For this special bonus episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Buddy Gott (check out his work at BuddyGottWrites.com) to dive into the holiday classic Love Actually. While Buddy adores this film, I have some thoughts about its problematic storylines. We’ll discuss weight shaming, cheating, lust, love, and the beauty of interconnectedness in this star-studded movie. Join us for an adorable, impactful, and fun conversation to close out an amazing first season of the podcast!

Hey babes, welcome back to Binge It Babe! This week, I’m joined once again by the fantastic Buddy Gott—and of course, my trusty candy cigarettes—as we dive into the holiday mischief of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We’ll discuss Jim Carrey’s unforgettable performance as the Grinch, my love for his wild comedic style, and some of the unexpected, slightly steamy thrills of 4DX movies. Join us for a festive, laugh-filled episode with a little extra spice, as we uncover what makes this Christmas classic so uniquely Grinchy and fun!

Hey babes, it’s time for another festive episode on Binge It Babe! This week, I’m joined by my wonderful guest, Buddy Gott, for a deep dive into the romantic holiday classic, The Holiday. Together, we’ll explore the film’s touching themes of love, self-discovery, and the wisdom that comes with age. We talk about the power of elderly stories, growing older, and the beautiful poignancy of life’s twists and turns. This episode is dedicated to Buddy’s wife, Lisa, making it extra special and heartfelt. Join us for an unforgettable conversation filled with warmth, laughter, and love.

Hey babes, this special bonus episode is for all you high school students out there! Join me as I dive into why literature, reading, and writing are so vital—not just for academic success, but for personal growth too. As a proud Latina, I share my own experiences and talk about the importance of diverse voices in storytelling. We’ll explore how books can open up new worlds, why writing is a powerful tool for self-expression, and why embracing your cultural identity matters in everything you do. Let’s celebrate the magic of words together!

It’s the grand finale of Spooky Season with Cabin in the Woods! This film’s meta-horror twist makes it the perfect ending, but we take some time to get personal. Today’s off-track discussion dives into the importance of supporting your creative friends and my own pain and heartache from feeling unsupported along the way. Join me for a mix of chills, real talk, and a heartfelt close to the Halloween lineup.

It’s Day 30 of Spooky Season, and we’re diving into the Hotel Transylvania series for a little monster family fun. These movies may be for kids, but they’ve got enough charm to make them a Halloween staple. Naturally, we go off-topic and end up talking about getting married too young—because what’s Halloween without a few life lessons, right? Tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and a lighthearted break from the usual horror in today’s episode!

It’s Day 29 of Spooky Season, and today we’re tackling World War Z, the zombie thriller that has us rethinking our escape plans. But, of course, we wander off-topic and spend a good chunk of time on my own zombie apocalypse strategies—yes, I’m totally prepared—and even dive into my thoughts on cosmetic surgery. It's a blend of horror analysis, survival talk, and a few tangents that somehow work. Join in for scares and some laughs!
