Joey and Megan finally weigh in with their Obsession reaction and dip their toes into Margot’s Got Money Troubles.

There’s no doubt about it: everyone is talking about Curry Barker’s Obsession. The $750,000 film has made boatloads of cash since it debuted last week, and horror on a budget has had quite the run these last few weeks. Megan and Joey dissect who is the film’s true villain, and Megan relates Barker’s vision to “nice guy tropes” in the current dating world. Can we enjoy this kind of horror on face value, or is it better to obsessively dive in as deep as possible? Find out all this and more in our Obsession reaction podcast!

We then shift gears to Apple TV’s Margot’s Got Money Troubles and debate whether we think the David E. Kelley series leans more comedy or drama. How will this adaptation fare in this season’s Emmy race? Where is the tip button? Can we bundle 3 seasons for a discounted monthly rate, or…

We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
