Amazon show that mentally scarred our TV editor returns and you can binge it now

Metro2 days ago
An animated series that left our TV editor mentally scarred and questioning why she does her job has returned for a second season on Amazon Prime Video.
Sausage Party: Foodtopia, created by Seth Rogen, is a spin-off of the 2016 film Sausage Party, which was developed by Rogen alongside Evan Goldberg and Jonah Hill.
It followed the life of an anthropomorphic sausage named Frank Frankfurter (played by Rogen) who lives in a supermarket with other living foods.
The original film was a major success at the global box office, earning back more than seven times its budget, and eight years later, Foodtopia premiered on Amazon Prime Video.
Despite being an animated film, Sausage Party was slapped with a 15 certificate by the British Board of Film Classification for very strong language and very strong sex references.
Foodtopia picks up after the events of the film, with Frank and his friends having established the titular safe haven away from the human world.

However, when a flood destroys their newfound home, Frank and his foody friends have to team up with humans to ensure the long-term survival of their race.
Despite the high stakes, Foodtopia continues with the adult themes – one scene in particular depicts a human being having sex with an actual sausage.
The series returned for a second season on Wednesday, August 13, with all eight episodes currently available to stream in one go on Amazon Prime Video.
As well as starring Rogen as Frankfurter, the series cast also includes Kristen Wiig as Brenda Bunson (a hot dog bun), Michael Cera as Barry (a deformed sausage), and Edward Norton as Sam Bagel Jr. (a bagel).
Joining the show in season two are such names as Jillian Bell who plays Trish (a walnut), Martin Starr as Sherman (a cake), Marion Cotillard as Dojin (mustard), and Patti Harrison as Jill (a human girl).
The scene in question that scarred our TV editor was featured during the sixth episode of the first season – it was described as 'surreal' and 'grotesque'.
[The sex scene in Sausage Party: Foodtopia] is just as surreal and grotesque as you could possibly imagine.
(For the purposes of this article, we reluctantly watched the scene so you don't have to. You're welcome).
At the end of the trailer for the series, a human called Jack (Will Forte) announces: 'You hear that world? I'm in love with a hot dog!'
So maybe it shouldn't have come as too much of a shock when in episode six, Jack and Frank share an extremely graphic sex scene that will now – devastatingly – be seared onto our brains forever.
In short – there's snogging, licking, rubbing, penetration and an ejaculation. Everything that we did not need in a scene between a sausage and a human.
It's clear from several people who've watched the show just how revolted they feel after watching that scene play out.
'Episode 6 of the new Sausage Party Show has genuinely one of the most f***ed up scenes I've ever watched in a cartoon. Only the most sick and twisted minds could've came up with something like that,' @OfficialBigAnt7 wrote on X.
'Bro what the f***?' added @O14dimeji, while @ephhhh_ stated: 'Was going to say the new sausage party show's been pretty fun then I watch episode 6 😨.'
The original Sausage Party film finished with a giant food orgy, featuring all of the film's characters, that lasted for more than three minutes, so any sex scenes in the TV show weren't exactly a surprise.
On YouTube, @CiDK said, 'Wow – someone had to animate this,' while Bryce added, 'Two old ladies walked out during this scene when I saw it.'
Speaking about season two on X, @CheeseFhfif said they were going to 'burn their eyes', while @MeMyselfFan53995 joked: 'Can't wait to watch the spin-off series to the most vile movie ever.' More Trending
The original film was received positively by critics, who gave it an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – but audiences were less keen, with the audience rating sitting at 50%.
Things didn't improve much on that front for Foodtopia, which was slapped with a 48% 'rotten' rating on Rotten Tomatoes – audiences weren't keen either, giving a 44% score.
The critical consensus read: 'Foodtopia has plenty of rancid gags to tide over fans of Seth Rogen's sense of humour, but this follow-up can't help but feel like stale leftovers.'

High Wycombe cat gets job helping to train hearing dogs

A Siamese cat has been recruited to help train hearing who lives in High Wycombe with owner Julie Shute, spends time with dogs to see how they react to him, and assess if the trainee could live with a cat Broadley, dog training instructor at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People's Buckinghamshire training hub, said: "Frank is proving to be a great addition to our training team. "It's not a job that would suit every cat, but as a confident boy who loves dogs, he is already best friends with trainee puppy Kasper." The charity trains dogs across the country to recognise sounds such as smoke alarms, doorbells and baby dogs are slowly introduced to Frank, who is first seen behind a transparent glass Frank will rest on his owner's lap in reach of the dog to see how they Shute said: "When a dog comes up to Frank, I can tell by his body language if he's comfortable around them."Throughout the whole interaction, he's always free to jump out of the way or leave the room. But if he's comfortable, his muscles will relax, and the dog can then come closer to sniff him."Dogs that bark, seem overinterested or back away from Frank may not be appropriate to live with a cat owner. At the end of each training session, Frank is awarded with his favourite snack: roast chicken owner continued: "Frank got involved purely by accident when I decided to volunteer as a puppy trainer and was given our first puppy, a Cockapoo called Gizmo."They ate, slept and played together. My trainer at the time observed this and asked if it would be possible for other hearing dog puppies to visit Frank to see if they could be matched with a deaf partner who already had a pet cat."Frank started taking his role with Hearing Dogs very seriously and soon earned his title of 'chief cat tester'."

Amanda Holden suffers blow as controversial Netflix show axed despite success

Despite a very successful first season, Amanda Holden's Netflix show has landed on the scrap heap. In April, Cheat: Unfinished Business arrived on the streaming platform, with Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda, 54, and Celebs Go Dating expert Paul Brunson, 50, as hosts. The format raised eyebrows before the first episode had even landed, as many were sceptical upon learning participants would be reunited with their cheating exes. Filmed in Majorca, Spain, eight former couples, who broke up because one was unfaithful, visited a luxury retreat to see if it was possible to work through their differences. Cheat proved extremely popular with streamers, finding itself in Netflix's top 10 most-watched shows in 22 countries, including the UK and the US.

Alas, it seems those stats weren't enough to convince commissioners that a second season was viable. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A source told The Sun that the reality series won't be back, explaining: 'Despite Cheat being popular with audiences, Netflix has decided to pursue new show formats.' A Netflix spokesperson also confirmed: 'Cheat: Unfinished Business won't be returning.' However, this might not be the last we see of Amanda on the service. 'Bosses love Amanda and are in talks with her on three different show ideas, so it's likely fans will see a lot more of her on the platform in the future,' added the insider. 'Amanda is still very much one of the hardest-working women in showbiz and is booked and busy for the foreseeable future.' Indeed, there's no shortage of work for the TV personality, who co-hosts Heart FM's breakfast show each weekday morning, alongside Jamie Theakston. Listening figures for the show have soared in recent months, seeing Heart overtake BBC Radio 2 to become the biggest commercial breakfast show in the UK with 4.2million weekly listeners. On top of that, Amanda is due back for BGT auditions filming in October, as well as a fourth series of her renovation show with comedian Alan Carr, having been shooting in Greece this summer. And as if all of that isn't enough, Amanda's quiz show, The Inner Circle, launches on BBC One in October, with a cash prize on the line for players to take home after testing their general knowledge and strategic thinking. Relationships expert Paul has also seen a spike in popularity this year, thanks to his We Need To Talk podcast, which has featured celebrity guests such as Tulisa, Maura Higgins, Katie Price, and Cher Lloyd. Before Cheat launched this spring, the Washington-born star expressed his excitement to be working alongside Amanda so they could dive into 'all the grey areas of infidelity' together. 'To work with Amanda Holden has been a dream of mine, so with her on board, there was no way I could say no,' he praised. Amanda was also 100% in, having hailed Cheat as her 'dream' job, most likely making its cancellation all the more gutting. More Trending She told the Daily Mail: 'It is my dream job; if I could have manifested a job… this would have been it. It is the job I have wanted my whole life, and it's finally happening. 'A series about second chances and unfinished business. I can't wait, along with Paul, to meet and help these couples work out whether they can forgive and forget. I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of it.' Season 1 of Cheat: Unfinished Business is available to stream on Netflix. Got a story?

X Factor childhood sweethearts marry in gorgeous ceremony 9 years on from show

Prepare for a sweet dose of weekend wedding wholesomeness, because two X Factor sweethearts have tied the knot. Emily Middlemas, now 26, first auditioned for Simon Cowell's ITV singing show in 2014, but didn't make it to live shows. However, everything happens for a reason, and she returned two years later to reach the semi-final. Not only that, but her boyfriend, Ryan Lawrie, now 29, was also a contestant that same year. Teenagers at the time, they had started dating in 2015 and made no secret of their romance, leaving Emily in tears when Ryan was eliminated against controversial rapper Honey G. Fast forward to 2025, though, and both are thriving in their respective music careers and now have another thing to celebrate after becoming husband and wife.

Lots of love ❤️' The wedding between the two Scottish performers looked a real hoot, as videos captured a lively dancefloor complete with glowsticks and drummers. Keeping with tradition, Ryan wore a kilt, while Emily stunned in a strapless white gown and pearl jewellery, completing her bridal ensemble with a pastel bouquet. Of course, they were joined by their adorable pooch, Bowie, for the occasion. The newlyweds were soon flooded with congratulatory messages after announcing their nuptials, as fellow 2016 X Factor star Gifty Louise commented: 'Congratulations guysssssssss 😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️' Oritse Williams of JLS, for whom Ryan has written songs, commented: 'Congrats brotha 🤎' 'Congratulations! Crying you guys are the CUTEST EVER🤍🥹', added @chloeforddddd. 'you look like a princess emily 🥹✨ congratulations mr and mrs lawrie ❤️❤️', wrote @errinmorrison_. Emily and Ryan announced their engagement in June 2022 after he popped the question while on holiday at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Sharing a selfie to capture their joy as Emily flaunted her dazzling ring, Ryan declared in his caption: 'SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!💍' Since their talent show days, they have bought their first home together and continued sharing a glimpse inside their romance via social media. As far as music is concerned, Emily became an independent artist in 2019, adopting her stage name and dropping her debut EP, Changes. She's since performed at various festivals around the country and released a number of singles, such as Breath, Time Goes By, Tongue Tied, and Gelato. Earlier this year, she was a co-writer on Switzerland's Eurovision Song Contest entry Voyage, which was performed by Zoë Më and finished in 10th place.
