Should We Regulate Binge-Watching?
Can a TV show actually mess with your mental health? And if so… should streaming platforms step in to stop us from binging?In this thought-provoking and emotionally charged episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives deep into the psychological toll of binge-watching heavy, emotionally intense shows. It all starts when Krystina “Little Baby Cornbread” Ray shares how watching The Handmaid’s Tale non-stop left her feeling drained, anxious, and emotionally wrecked—until she skipped a night and suddenly felt like herself again.This sparks a fascinating conversation between Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina about the darker side of streaming culture. Should shows like The Handmaid’s Tale come with a binge warning? Should platforms limit how many episodes you can watch in a row? Or is it all just a matter of personal willpower?Key Themes & Moments:
- 📺 The emotional impact of dark, dystopian shows like The Handmaid’s Tale
- 🧠 Mental health and media consumption—how much is too much?
- 🛑 Should streaming services offer “binge blockers” or emotional content warnings?
- 😂 Comic relief with I Think You Should Leave and “corn cob TV” as the ultimate emotional chaser
- 🎭 The fine line between entertainment and emotional overload
