Obsession (2025) | A First Date Becoming Insanely Needy

<p>Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay make your wishes come true and tackle the horror box office phenomenon, &#39;Obsession.&#39; Bombay breaks the ice by mentioning how the film gave him flashbacks to the most chaotic and unhinged first date he ever went on.</p><p>Then the fellas head to the music store to discuss a movie that has been described as &#39;Tales From the Crypt&#39; for Zoomers, and why that rocks. Of course Inde Navarrette&#39;s powerhouse performance as Nikki deserves all the accolades. She not only sells the physical horror of this monkey&#39;s paw fable, but delivers subtleties that capture how devoted love can truly devolve into a mental illness. Unfortunately, she is paired with the milquetoast Bear, whose faux-fake guy persona — and lack of any defining personality traits — make him beyond unbearable. While Curry Barker&#39;s runaway smash hit may not reinvent the genre, it does treat both mainstream audiences, and horror sickos alike, to a bonkers third act that is all wrapped together with a feel-bad ending. Similar to the end credits, this episode will leave you audibly sobbing (with laughter, not tears). </p>
