Summary

In this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon explores two recent watches that made him feel everything — in totally opposite ways. He chats with a film critic to talk about ‘Hamnet,’ the quietly devastating film that lingers long after the credits roll. Then, Kevin switches gears with unfiltered celebrity chef and actor, Matty Matheson (‘The Bear’)‪‬. They discuss details of Matty's show, Just a Dash, which is a chaotic, funny, rule-breaking and heavily tattooed Netflix cooking show where global comfort food, oversharing, and laughs matter more than perfect recipes. From joyful chaos to emotional heartbreak, this episode is all about the TV and movies that leave a mark.
