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

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.'

New On Netflix, Disney+, And More: 6 Streaming Shows And Movies To Watch This Week (August 11 - 17)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I hope you like animation. It's rare to see a week of streaming releases that seems to have a coherent theme across platforms, but somehow we're getting exactly that this week. Nearly every major streaming release from the major providers is animated this time around. Although the one non-animated series this week may be the most hotly anticipated. Alien: Earth - August 12 (Hulu) In the era of streaming, we have seen numerous theatrical franchises debut with high-profile TV series. This week, Alien brings its first series to everybody with a Hulu subscription. Alien: Earth, as the title implies, will see the Xenomorph wreaking havoc at home rather than in space. Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant star in the new show from Noah Hawley. Marvel's Iron Man And His Awesome Friends - August 12 (Disney+) If you have young kids and a Disney+ subscription, then I'm going to guess that you, like me, have watched more than your share of Spidey and His Amazing Friends. The good news, if you've watched every episode 100 times, is that a new production in the same vein as Marvel's Iron Man and His Awesome Friends will make its Disney+ debut this week. Fixed - August 13 (Netflix) Coming off the incredible success of Kpop Demon Hunters, as well as other notable animated successes like Ultraman: Rising, and the films of Aardman Animations, animation fans should have a Netflix subscription. Netflix may have its next big animated movie in Fixed, the story of a dog who wants to have one last adventure before being neutered. It comes from the great Genndy Tartakovsky. This one looks to be more mature than Dexter's Laboratory, but no less hilarious. Sausage Party: Foodtopia, S2 - August 13 (Prime Video) It's entirely possible that there was once a raunchy adult animated movie about food called Sausage Party, and even if you remembered that, you probably forgot the film got a spinoff TV series, Sausage Party: Foodtopia. However, if you have a Prime Video subscription, you'll discover that a second season of the show is arriving this week. Limitless: Live Better Now - August 15 (Disney+) It's going to be a while before we get to see Chris Hemsworth as Thor again, but the man is certainly keeping himself busy ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. His NatGeo series Limitless returns this week with a new season that promises to reveal secrets to help people live better lives. I can't imagine a better reason to watch a TV show. Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical - August 15 (Apple TV+) Peanuts has been one of the few franchises that you can watch with an Apple TV+ subscription, and in addition to the classic holiday specials, we've seen a steady increase of new animated productions starring Charlie Brown and the gang. The latest is the thing that every major series gets to eventually, the musical episode. Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical will see everybody going to camp and putting on a show. If this week doesn't have anything that excites you, don't worry. The rest of August will still have shows and movies worth checking out, including he new season of Peacemaker, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, and more. Solve the daily Crossword
