Whether or not it’s one thing within the air, or simply the top of a sizzling summer time having an impact on streaming audiences, issues have been heating up on the 
STARZ film chart as (largely unhealthy) erotic movies have been steaming up streaming, together with one of the vital well-known – and heavily-criticized – erotic franchises of all time.
Whereas the world of streaming has change into full of flicks that predominantly fill their viewing time with loads of naked flesh and never a number of plot. This has included the Netflix hit Fall for Me and the raunchy and trashy sequence, The Searching Wives, however they’re small fry in comparison with the Fifty Shades trilogy, which, together with new motion pictures Sugar Child and You, Me & Her, is dominating (no pun meant) the streaming chart to make sure that because the nights settle down, temperatures are nonetheless rising.
On the time of writing, the primary film on Starz is Sugar Child, a 2024 film a few younger “Sugar Child” who is obtainable $30,000 to spend per week along with her Sugar Daddy, solely to find that his dwelling hides some sinister secrets and techniques. Sure, the film is just about as sleazy because it sounds, and whereas it has not gained any opinions in any respect on Rotten Tomatoes, Letterboxd reviewers have had loads to say concerning the film. From slamming it as a “movie that appears prefer it was made on a $10 finances,” to feeling that “the filmmakers requested Chat GPT how one can make a film that matches with Gen Z then took the recommendation and ran with it,” it’s unclear precisely why Sugar Child has made it into the High 10, not to mention taking the highest spot.
At quantity two on the charts, You, Me & Her will not be fairly the identical catastrophe as Sugar Child, however it does include the identical sort of titillating storyline (a pair contemplating a threesome) though as one reviewer requested, “Did I simply watch a tender porn with no nudity, however the plot is getting cucked? Sure I did!” When a film with this type of storyline comes with the tag line of “Don’t make it bizarre,” then there is just one approach such a movie is heading – to the highest finish of the streaming chart, clearly.
‘Fifty Shades of Gray’ Is Again on Streaming
Then we come to the final word responsible pleasure, the franchise that started life as Twilight fan fiction and by some means turned a sequence of novels that each sexy housewife appeared to have bought however nobody admitted to studying. When the novels have been tailored right into a trilogy of flicks that turned runaway field workplace hits regardless of being panned and leaving stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson spending years attempting to flee the legacy of starring in a film franchise that nearly killed their careers.
At the moment, all three Fifty Shades motion pictures are holding positions 4 to 6 on the Starz film chart as Fifty Shades of Gray celebrates its tenth anniversary. Not a nasty achievement for a trilogy that peaked with a 25% Rotten Tomatoes rating for the primary movie (adopted by 11% for each sequels) and nobody ever admits to having watched. That is without doubt one of the joys of streaming, the place anybody can sit within the consolation of their very own dwelling and revel in any horrible, raunchy film they like with out anybody being any the wiser. Clearly, there are lots of people on the market doing simply that.
