0:16.0	Hello and welcome to a very special culture club edition of the Guilty Feminist brought to you by obsession, an erotic relationship thriller starring Richard Armitage and Charlie Murphy only on Netflix.
0:32.0	And it's been adapted for television by none of the Morgan Lloyd Malcolm who wrote Amelia the play who many of you saw and we banged on about and has just had a tour in Australia.
0:41.0	We love to merely the play and we're very excited for more Morgan Lloyd Malcolm on our screen time.
0:47.0	With me to discuss that on this very special Guilty Feminist culture club episode is the amazing Sarah Baron.
0:54.0	Now I'm a feminist but I had a big thing for erotic thrillers like hand at rocks the cradle I've seen in a number of times fatal attraction I'm sorry I've seen it a few times alright.

2:07.0	I feel that's that feels better.
2:09.0	I also like I'm like why does it have to be guilty to be a pleasure and all of that but I think the psychological part that always feels fun to me is it's like you know this is going to go badly you know this is going to blow up your life and guess what you're going to do it anyway.
2:29.0	It is the thing we all do.
2:31.0	Humbling out in ways that are that grand but we all have our tiny little things every day where we're like I know this is bad but here I go.
