If you ever thought Netflix only served up comfortable binge-watching vibes, think again. The streaming giant is about to drop something that’ll make you do a double-take and possibly check the bilge—yes, we’re talking about Poop Cruise. And before you say “eww,” we’re here to give you the lowdown in all its gloriously gross detail.
The Poop Cruise is one of the captivating chapters in Trainwreck, a new eight-part documentary anthology helmed by director James Ross. Hitting Netflix throughout June and July, each episode is set to dive headfirst into history’s wildest and most bizarre media moments. And while there are gems like the Balloon Boy hoax and even footage of kids doing the infamous Naruto Run during an Area 51 news flash, Poop Cruise is arguably the pièce de résistance. It’s a story of epic proportions, a high point on the infamous scale of “documentary-worthy disasters.”
Want the full scoop? Back in 2013, on what was supposed to be a routine four-day Carnival cruise from Galveston, Texas to Cozumel, Mexico, a catastrophic twist left the ship powerless and adrift at sea. An engine room fire turned a normal voyage into a floating nightmare—and things really hit the fan (or should we say, the flush) when the toilets overflowed with raw sewage. Yup, you read that right. It’s one of those moments where reality really outdoes fiction, and Netflix is giving us the chance to witness it firsthand in all its messy glory.
Trainwreck doesn’t just rely on the shock factor; it’s a deep dive into moments that captured public attention for all the right and wrong reasons. The series also revisits the Balloon Boy hoax and showcases quirky, head-turning local news moments that left us wondering if we could really believe the crazy things people do for a few seconds of viral fame.
So, mark your calendars and prepare for a viewing experience that’s equal parts fascination and horror. Poop Cruise premieres on Netflix on June 24, and if you’re into exploring the oddities of modern media history with a side of cringe-worthy humor, this is one release you simply can’t miss. Grab a snack, maybe some extra air freshener, and get ready to laugh, gasp, and maybe even shudder a little at just how bizarre reality sometimes can be.
