In this episode of Binging With Benefits, we start off in the stars—literally—talking about the Artemis mission and the surprisingly emotional story behind a section of the moon being named “Carroll” in honor of a late wife. It’s giving romance, legacy, and space trivia you didn’t know you needed.

Then we spiral (naturally) into the absolutely unhinged movie Robots, starring Shailene Woodley and Jack Whitehall. Is it a rom-com? A sci-fi fever dream? A cautionary tale? We’re still not sure—but we are sure we have thoughts.

To wrap things up, Jess brings a “benefit” that’s all about slowing things down: morning journaling as a way to tap into dopamine fasting. Think less chaos, more clarity… at least until we start talking again.

It’s heartfelt, chaotic, and a little bit cosmic—just how we like it.
