Summary

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago, Larry Fried, and Ben Langford join me to review and discuss Curry Barker's "Obsession" starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter. The story follows a young hopeless romantic who breaks the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart. However, he soon discovers that some desires come at a dark and sinister price. The film had its world premiere in the Midnight Madness section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Barker's script and direction, as well as Navarrette's unhinged performance. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss all of these points and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
