About this episode
Brad Lowe hilariously breaks down the horror-thriller Obsession, exploring themes of obsession and the chaos of forced love.
In this absolutely unhinged episode of Movie Torture , Brad Lowe breaks down the horror-thriller Obsession —a movie that starts as awkward crush energy and somehow spirals into cursed romance, dead cat sandwiches, demon-girlfriend behavior, and supernatural emotional damage. Brad hilariously walks through the story of Bear Bailey, a painfully awkward guy who uses a creepy magical item called the “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki fall in love with him… which immediately turns into the worst relationship in cinematic history. What follows is escalating chaos involving haunted Build-A-Bear vibes, pee puddles, self-stabbing party games, customer service for cursed objects, and one of the most disturbing lunch scenes ever put on screen. Throughout the episode, Brad delivers nonstop commentary and savage one-liners, comparing Bear to “the human version of typing and deleting a text for 45 minutes” while repeatedly questioning why horror movie characters keep buying obviously evil magical items. The recap somehow balances gross-out horror, emotional loneliness, absurd comedy, and relationship satire all at once. By the end, the episode becomes less about a horror movie and more…
