Episode notes
Welcome back to The Scarier Things Club! First things first: we lied. We told you we’d be covering Signs (we promise we’ll get to it!), but after taking a field trip to the theater to see Curry Barker’s Obsession, we couldn’t wait to sit down and talk about it. We get into what makes this indie psychological horror film work so well, our favorite moments, the ending, and whether Obsession deserves all the buzz it’s been getting online.
Also: High school crushes. Tori Kelly. Leatherface. Goodwill cats. Magic necklaces. Kneecap carnage. In the middle of all that, we still manage to hand out the Dumbest Decision Award, play Smash or Pass, figure out who’d survive, and answer the question that really matters: Does Obsession join the club?
