GeekCypha 462 Can We Talk About the Horror Renaissance: Obsession, Backrooms... Euphoria Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com Description: This week on GeekCypha , we’re breaking down Lewis Hamilton’s embrace of lowrider culture and examining how a new wave of YouTube directors is successfully disrupting Hollywood horror. We also tackle the messy moral gray areas of the film Obsession —questioning who is actually good, who is bad, and if it even matters to audiences anymore. That energy carries over into a raw critique of the Euphoria finale and exactly how Sam Levinson failed a patient fanbase, before we wrap things up with our unfiltered reactions to Sony PlayStation’s State of Play, focusing heavily on the brutal gameplay of Marvel's Wolverine and the monumental reveal of God of War: Laufey .
