Ep 235: Obsession

It's time to discuss the most discussed film of 2026... Obsession. A movie that burst onto the scene and has raised two incredible actors to Oscar status, is also perhaps the finest screenplay of the year. There are many misconceptions about this film that we clear up. Is Bear the villain? What is the wish doing exactly? Why are our characters acting how they are? We dive into it all. We also have a 5x5 segment discussion our top 5 relationships in horror films of all time. There are chapter headings to jump around if you wish. So grab your One Wish Willows, get some duct tape, and make sure the cat is still in the trash... it's time for Obsession on The Movie Defenders podcast!
