Episode notes
This week on the podcast, we’re reviewing Obsession (2026), the new horror film from rising filmmaker Curry Barker that’s been generating a ton of buzz online and on the festival circuit. What starts as an awkward romantic wish-fulfillment story quickly spirals into something disturbing, uncomfortable, and completely unhinged.
We talk about the film’s blend of horror and dark comedy, the nightmare-fuel performance from Inde Navarrette, and why so many critics are calling this one of the breakout horror movies of 2026. We also get into the movie’s themes of control, obsession, toxic relationships, and the film’s shocking moments.
Plus, we discuss the direction from Barker, the movie’s chaotic tone shifts, the effectiveness of the gore and psychological horror, and whether this is a future cult classic or simply a mean-spirited endurance test.
Was Obsession one of the year’s best horror films, or did it push things too far for us? Tune in to hear our full review and final scores.
