The scariest men aren’t always the ones who look like monsters. Sometimes, they’re the ones who insist they’re nice. In this episode of More Than A Muse, Sadie and Stauney unpack how obsession, entitlement, and control disguise themselves as love in Obsession, Companion, and Don’t Worry Darling. From weaponized technology and AI girlfriends to incel culture and the male loneliness discourse, we explore what happens when men mistake admiration for ownership and a woman’s autonomy for something they have the right to control. Why does being “nice” so often come with strings attached? And what happens when a woman refuses to play the role someone else has written for her? We’re breaking down horror’s modern “nice guys” and the unsettling cultural realities hiding behind their fictional stories.
