Hello, this is Obsessed the Podcast. I'm Kevin Fallon and I'm taking you through all the

0:09.2

entertainment and TV movies, pop culture news that we think is unmissable. And today I'm coming to

0:15.4

you from Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival, where for this brief recording, I will not be freezing my

0:22.5

butt off. I've seen a ton of movies and we'll be talking about all of those in another episode.

0:28.2

But right now, we're going to talk about a few other things and try to be just the smallest ray of

0:34.7

sunshine and what I know is a very dark time and dark cloud hanging over all of us.

1:22.5

And we're just going to talk about all the celebrity goings-on that have happened while I've been

1:26.2

1:35.5

How are you? I'm also trying to get through. Sick. There's a snowpocalypse in New York, but here we are.
