Episode 228 – Obsession (2026)

About this episode

The episode critiques the film 'Obsession', highlighting its scares and characterization issues.

Curry Barker definitely has an eye and a feel for scares, but Nikki’s characterization is all over the place, even though Inde Navarrette is giving it her all. And it wouldn’t hurt if the movie wasn’t 68% screams by volume.
