Opinion | Ani Bundel: 'Floor is Lava' on Netflix is an absurd summer obstacle course. And more are coming. - NBCNewsTHINK
” mazes. Netflix, which still aims to be an everything channel, would need to make a splash, as it were, in debuting an obstacle course game show of its own. Apparently that splash is lava.that the contestants would be competing on a course that was “flooded with lava … yes, really,” the floor is not actually lava in “Floor Is Lava.” Instead, the floor is bubbling water, dyed red and, one assumes, of some vaguely warm temperature. It is also deep enough in places for contestants toin it.
In a nod to the childhood origins of the game, the different levels are all rooms in a house. Every room the teams must cross together are festooned with themed props created by a candy-colored workshop. Also, to help the adults playing a child’s game feel at home, some of the furniture is oversized .
By making sure those at home understand the thought process behind the rooms, viewers can feel superior to the contestants struggling on TV.the series notably walks the audience through the various obstacle course routes at the top of each episode, clearly highlighting the necessary teamwork the designers had in mind to conquer the level. By making sure those at home understand the thought process behind the rooms, viewers can feel superior to the contestants struggling on TV.
“Floor Is Lava” may be the biggest-budget bonkers concept this summer, but it’s far from the only one.

Man Hates How Hot Dog-Eating Contests Reduce Art Of Eating Hot Dogs To A CompetitionBATON ROUGE, LA—Defending the deeply personal pursuit of choking down as many ballpark franks as you can cram into your mouth, local man Tim Aveline told reporters Friday he hated how hot-dog-eating contests have reduced the art of eating hot dogs to mere competition. “It’s really gross how these events where they hand out big prizes have exploited our passion for gorging on handful after handful of hot dogs and buns that have been dunked in water to speed their way down our throats,” said Aveline, explaining that a lot of the best hot-dog eaters were not even included in such competitive showcases because they worked outside of mainstream channels or simply did not know the right people. “The crass practice of pitting one person against another in competition strips away everything that makes the craft of eating 60 or 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes such a delicate, highly individual process. There is a unique beauty in the way each practitioner suppresses their gag reflex in order to swallow processed meat as efficiently as possible, and the poignancy of these genuine aesthetic achievements are trivialized when we make it all about winning and losing. Eating so many hot dogs that it makes you violently ill should be a reward unto itself.” Aveline went on to suggest that competitors like world champion eater Joey Chestnut were really more about sex appeal than artistry.

I Love This Hot Bitch: Underworld's Enduring, Leather-Bound Vampire FashionI don’t know why I put on Underworld, the 2003 Danny McBride action flick about an ancient war between immortal werewolf and vampire clans. Well, at least that’s what I think it’s about. Truthfully, I hadn’t seen it since I was probably 10 when it would air as re-runs on cable. Besides, I was only really paying attention to Kate Beckinsale’s catsuit.\n
