Major events, market narratives, and retirement planning may seem like completely different topics, but they all share a common theme: understanding the forces that shape financial outcomes before they show up in your portfolio.The FIFA World Cup is bringing the world's attention to the United States, but some of the biggest winners may never step onto the field. From hotels and restaurants to transportation providers and local businesses, we'll examine how major sporting events generate economic activity, who benefits most from the influx of visitors, and whether the long-term economic impact lives up to the promises often made by host cities.We'll also look at several stories dominating the headlines — from SpaceX's first week of trading, developments in the Iran conflict, and Kevin Warsh's first Federal Reserve meeting — and discuss why markets increasingly respond to sentiment, geopolitics, and cultural events alongside traditional economic data. Finally, Health Savings Accounts are often praised as one of the most powerful tax-advantaged savings tools available, but accumulating assets is only half the equation. We'll explore how retirees can strategically use HSA balances, when it makes sense to pay medical expenses from other accounts, and why these accounts can create unexpected tax consequences for heirs. Because with HSAs, the real challenge isn't building the balance — it's developing a plan to use it effectively.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Mindframes Show Notes Obsession (2026) Directed by: Curry Barker Written by: Curry Barker Starring: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, Andy Richter IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37287335/ Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave dig into Obsession (2026), Curry Barker's micro-budget feature debut that turned into one of the biggest horror phenomenons in years — a $750K film bought for $15 million out of TIFF that went on to gross well over $148 million worldwide, growing at the box office in consecutive weekends rather than declining. The discussion explores the film's monkey's-paw premise, its working-class Gen Z setting, the moral architecture of Bear's wish, and the central question of whether Bear is the film's actual villain — while comparing the film to Weapons, Pearl, Get Out, The Witch, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Empire. Thematic Discussion Obsession explores consent and agency — what happens when desire is granted without consent. The film suggests that Bear doesn't earn or deserve Nikki's love; he eliminates her will and replaces it with his own. As Curry Barker has put it, "love is earned, not demanded," and "any time you wish for something, it's probably going to be selfish." The true engine of the horror isn't the curse twisting the wish — it's that the wish works exactly as asked. On-air verdict — Is Bear the villain? Both hosts landed on no. He's flawed, selfish, and prolongs the harm once he knows better, but he's the story's antagonist rather than its villain — if anyone is the "real" villain, it's the cursed object itself. Michael's framing: not every flawed person is a villain, and the film is more interesting because its characters are layered rather than purely good or evil. On-air verdict — the ending. Dave correctly intuited that Nikki originally killed herself in an earlier draft — that actually was Barker's original Romeo-and-Juliet mutual-suicide ending, before his playwright father pushed him toward the survival cut used in the final film. Michael argued the survival ending is more thematically persuasive: if the theme is one person's coercion of another's agency, the resolution should be Nikki's, not a mutual destruction that treats the harm as shared. Bear's selfishness has to die for Nikki to live. A live reference worth flagging for listeners: Michael cited Naomi Serpell's New Yorker piece "The New Literalism" (March 2025) as a framework for questioning how intentionally — and how literally — modern horror handles its themes of trauma and control. ⏱️ Timestamps Time Segment 00:01 Intro & setup 00:03 Director background — Curry Barker, box office story 00:09 Cinematography & cast discussion 00:30 Reviews & ratings 00:41 ⚠️ Spoiler section begins — "What would you wish for?" 00:44 Thematic discussion: consent and agency 00:45 Is Bear the villain? 01:01 The ending — survival vs. the original Romeo & Juliet cut 01:13 The New Literalism / intentionality debate 01:22 Closing thoughts & next episode

This Day in Legal History: The Watergate BurglaryOn this day in 1972, at roughly 2:30 in the morning, a security guard at the Watergate office complex on Virginia Avenue in Washington named Frank Wills noticed that the latches on a stairwell door had been taped over and called the District police. The police arrested five men inside the offices of the Democratic National Committee on the sixth floor: James McCord, Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Eugenio Martinez, and Frank Sturgis. McCord was the security coordinator for the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Two days later, the FBI traced a $25,000 cashier's check found in Barker's bank account to the Committee to Re-Elect's finance chairman. The burglary itself was a third-rate one — bad lockpicking, surveillance gear that did not work, men carrying address books that linked them to the White House — but the legal consequences took two years to play out and rewrote large parts of American constitutional law in the process.The Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, chaired by Sam Ervin of North Carolina, conducted public hearings in the summer of 1973 that produced the disclosure of the White House taping system. The Saturday Night Massacre in October 1973 — Nixon's firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus — produced the legal scholarship that became the modern law of presidential removal and the Ethics in Government Act of 1978's independent-counsel framework. United States v. Nixon in July 1974 produced the doctrine that executive privilege is qualified rather than absolute and must yield to a demonstrated need in a criminal proceeding, a holding that is still the foundational separation-of-powers case the Court returns to whenever an administration claims that internal deliberations cannot be subpoenaed.The articles of impeachment voted by the House Judiciary Committee in late July 1974 produced the modern template for impeachment-as-constitutional-remedy that has been deployed four times since. Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974. The constitutional residue of what began with five men and a roll of tape in a Watergate stairwell is in the Federal Election Campaign Act amendments, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Inspector General Act, the Presidential Records Act, the post-Saturday-Night-Massacre statute book that defines what limits an administration faces when it tries to use the criminal-justice system politically. Fifty-four years on, the question of how much of that residue has held up is, as the saying goes, the question.U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman of the Eastern District of Wisconsin on Tuesday denied former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's post-trial motion to vacate her December 2025 conviction for felony obstruction of a federal proceeding. Dugan had been charged after she let Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who had appeared in her courtroom in April 2025 on a state misdemeanor, and his attorney leave through a side door of her courtroom after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers had assembled in the public hallway to arrest him on a federal civil immigration warrant. A jury found Dugan guilty of obstruction and acquitted her of the lesser concealing-an-individual count.Her post-trial motion pressed two principal arguments. The first was that the Fourth Circuit's recent decision in United States v. Edwards — which addressed the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 1505 obstruction as applied to interference with administrative agency proceedings — applies to ICE warrant service and so the trial court should have given a narrower jury instruction. The second was that her conduct was protected by the doctrine of judicial immunity for acts taken on the bench. Judge Adelman rejected both. On Edwards, the court held that the Fourth Circuit's reasoning addresses a different statutory provision and a different agency context, and that Dugan's case is governed by Seventh Circuit precedent on the obstruction statute she was convicted under.On judicial immunity, the court held that the doctrine is a civil shield against private damages liability and does not bar federal criminal prosecution for affirmative conduct in aid of evading federal law-enforcement officers. Dugan's team has announced that the case will go to the Seventh Circuit. Sentencing is now back on the calendar. The appellate question that will dominate the briefing is the one Judge Adelman teed up: whether a state judge taking administrative action in the courthouse — guiding a litigant to a back exit — falls inside or outside the federal obstruction statute's reach when the action is calculated to defeat federal law-enforcement service. That issue has not been squarely decided in the Seventh Circuit. The case is going to be the vehicle.Ex-Judge Loses Bid To Undo ICE Obstruction Conviction | Law360A Maryland federal judge on Tuesday denied SCOTUSblog co-founder Thomas C. Goldstein's post-trial motion for acquittal or, in the alternative, a new trial on the twelve counts on which a jury had convicted him in February — tax evasion, assisting in the preparation of false returns, willful failure to pay over employment taxes, and false statements to mortgage lenders. The case is one of the more striking falls in modern Supreme Court practice. Goldstein had argued for years before the Court and was, for two decades, one of the most visible private SCOTUS practitioners in the country, with SCOTUSblog itself becoming the standard public-facing reference for Supreme Court news.The criminal case grew out of his recreational high-stakes poker, which prosecutors used to build out a pattern of unreported gambling income, gambling debts paid out of law-firm funds, and gambling losses claimed as business expenses. The post-trial motion principally argued that the trial court's jury instructions on willfulness improperly conflated the negligence standard with the higher mens rea Cheek v. United States requires in federal tax-evasion prosecutions, and that the court had wrongly excluded evidence going to Goldstein's claimed reliance on his accountants' advice. The court rejected both. On the willfulness instruction, the court found the instruction tracked the Fourth Circuit's pattern instruction on Cheek and made clear to the jury that a good-faith misunderstanding of the law was a defense. On the accountant-reliance evidence, the court held that the offer of proof was insufficient to establish that Goldstein had actually relied on professional advice in the particular omissions the indictment turned on, as opposed to relying on his own judgment. Sentencing is now the next event.The federal sentencing guidelines on the tax counts alone, with the loss amount the jury found, point to a substantial custodial term. Watch for an appeal that focuses on the willfulness instruction; that is the cleanest reversible-error vehicle in the record.SCOTUSblog Founder Goldstein Denied Acquittal Or Retrial | Law360A Delaware federal judge on Tuesday denied Guardant Health's post-trial motion to vacate, reduce, or stay enforcement of the $83.4 million jury verdict TwinStrand Biosciences won against it in late 2023 for willful infringement of diagnostic-sequencing patents covering duplex-sequencing technology used in liquid-biopsy cancer-screening assays. The court also declined to enhance the award under 35 U.S.C. § 284, even though the jury had found willfulness, reasoning that the multi-factor Read v. Portec analysis the Federal Circuit has refined in Halo Electronics and its progeny cut both ways here: Guardant's pre-suit notice and continued use of the accused technology supported some enhancement, but its defenses on infringement and validity, while ultimately rejected, were not objectively reckless.The decision is notable for two doctrinal reasons. First, it reflects how district courts are continuing to deploy Halo's discretion-based framework in the post-pandemic-era diagnostic-patent landscape, where the gap between objectively defensible defenses and reckless infringement is being drawn case by case in a way that is making certworthy issues for the Federal Circuit and, eventually, the Supreme Court. Second, it underscores the $83.4 million is significant but not transformative: the broader competitive question in the diagnostic-sequencing space is whether Guardant can design around the asserted claims fast enough to keep its cancer-screening assays on the market without paying a recurring royalty to TwinStrand. Guardant has indicated it will appeal to the Federal Circuit. Both the underlying infringement findings and the no-enhancement ruling are likely to be appealed in parallel — Guardant on infringement and validity, TwinStrand on the refusal to enhance. The verdict stands for now.Del. Judge Upholds $83.4M Patent Verdict Against Guardant | Law360My Bloomberg Tax column this week argues that the IRS's disclosure of taxpayer address information to ICE should be understood less as a narrow immigration-enforcement controversy and more as a tax-data governance failure.I argue that Section 6103 does not make IRS data impossible to share, but it does make confidentiality the default and disclosure the exception. That distinction matters because a statutory exception should not become a bulk-transfer mechanism whenever another agency wants access to IRS records. The IRS holds unusually sensitive information because taxpayers are legally compelled to provide it, so any interagency disclosure should require necessity, precision, security, and auditability on a record-by-record basis.The TIGTA report is troubling because the IRS apparently built an automated matching process that was vulnerable to bad ICE inputs, inconsistent formatting, malformed records, and weak matching rules. ICE also had unresolved safeguard issues and missed corrective-action deadlines before the data transfer. In my view, that combination means the problem was not simply that data moved; it was that protected taxpayer information moved through a process that treated matching quality and backend security as implementation details rather than core privacy protections.The broader point is that bad data inputs are not just a programmer's inconvenience. If the IRS relies on another agency's messy file to decide whether protected tax information can be disclosed, the quality of that file becomes part of the taxpayer-confidentiality analysis. Loose input standards and crude matching rules effectively expand the statutory exception beyond what Congress authorized.My proposed fix is straightforward: before the IRS discloses taxpayer information, requesting agencies should have to provide clean, structured, validated data; legally certify the need for each record; meet defined match-confidence thresholds; submit ambiguous cases for manual review; and accept strict limits on use, retention, and auditing. The column's central line is that Section 6103 exceptions should operate like locked doors, not loading docks.IRS Sharing Taxpayer Info With ICE Is a Data Governance Issue This is a public episode.

“Obsession” is about a guy who makes a wish for a girl to love him “more than anyone in the entire world.” What follows is a classic horror movie trope: the girlfriend from hell. One of the movie's tag lines is “be careful who you wish for.” And younger audiences are flocking to see “Obsession,” making it a genuine Gen Z phenomenon. The film's writer-director-editor, Curry Barker, is also part of that generation. The 26-year-old, who had previously been making content for YouTube, is now responsible for a film that has made over $230 million (so far) on a budget of $750,000. Hollywood has taken notice. Barker has been offered an eight-figure deal for his next movie, sight unseen. For Wesley Morris, the success of “Obsession” raises a bigger question about relationships today: Is this how the young folks think about love—as something that should appear instantaneously, without effort, but might also ruin their lives?

Faithspotting Double Feature "Obsession and The Backrooms"

Faithspotting

Mike and Kenny offer a double feature episode as they discuss and spot faith presented in the two box office leading supernatural horror films Obsession and Backrooms. Both films are directed by first time feature film directors Curry Barker (Obsession) and Kane Parsons (Backrooms.) Barker (26) and Parsons (20) gained very large followings by directing shorts on YouTube and represent new voices and ways of making and distributing films. Obsession stars Michael Johnston (Baron "Bear" Bailey) and Inde Navarette (Nikki Freeman) with costars Cooper Tomlinson (Ian) and Megan Lawless Sarah). Inspired by an episode of The Simpsons (The Monkee Claw) the story is a modern parable on being careful what you ask or pray for. Bear is very attracted to Nikki yet is afraid to share his feelings to her, and allow her to decide how to respond, so in a moment of frustration he makes a wish using a novelty item, "One Wish Willow" which promises to grant the owner one wish. He wishes she would love him more than anyone in the world. The wish is granted and she immediately responds and quickly becomes obsessed with Bear. Faith Reflections: The destructive nature of obsession which equates with idolatry and coveting. Obsession grows from a desire to own and control and within relationships removes the agency of the target of the obsession. Love cannot be compelled. God offers every person the freedom to accept and return God's love. Romans 1:24-32 reflects the result when persons do not follow the example of God, and in this case is a perversion of the nature of love which seeks to build community, which reflect the essence, nature and desire of God. Backrooms stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (Clark) and Renate Reinsve (in a Dr. Mary Kline). Clark is seeing Mary for therapy as he seeks to work through his anger, grief, from his divorce. Mary is also dealing with trauma resulting from her mother's mental illness and distance. Clarke owns a failing discounted furniture store which is adding to his struggles and further fueling his struggle with alchohol. Clarke discovers an entry into a new realm of endless backrooms that are littered with pieces of furniture, cardboard people as well as other entities. Clarke tells Mary of his discovery and she does not believe him. In an effort to help Clarke, Mary visits the store and finds herself lost in the backrooms and chased by an entity. Faith Reflections: Liminality, the margins of new space and time. These can be very uncomfortable times and places. Living in the liminal time between the inauguration of God's Kingdom through the birth of Jesus, and the fulfillment of Kingdom, there is confusion, anxiety. While created in the image and likeness of God, through sin and the brokenness of creation, humanity is a deformed replica of what God created.

Every investor faces the same challenge: distinguishing excitement from opportunity, learning lessons from your mistakes, and separating short-term impulses from long-term strategy. In this episode, we tackle all three as we examine the next wave of mega-IPOs, share financial lessons learned firsthand, and discuss why sticking to a plan can be harder—and more important—than it sounds.Companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are expected to pursue public offerings at valuations that could rival or exceed the largest companies in history. We'll examine what trillion-dollar IPOs could mean for investors, why valuation still matters even when the business is extraordinary, and whether public investors will be participating in future growth—or paying for it upfront.Next, we shift from market theory to personal experience. The team shares some of the financial lessons learned firsthand—from debt that lingered longer than expected to missed opportunities created by saving too little, too late. It's a candid conversation about the mistakes, miscalculations, and course corrections that helped shape a healthier approach to money.Finally, we discuss one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of the adviser-client relationship: staying aligned with the plan. We'll explore the procedures designed to help protect investment accounts, the roles advisers and custodians play in account oversight, and why even well-intentioned portfolio changes can sometimes work against long-term goals when made without coordination.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

This week, three horror nerds gather to discuss Obsession (2025) and Milk & Serial (2024), both directed by Curry Barker, and within approximately six minutes completely abandon reality.What begins as a normal conversation about two incredible indie horror films quickly devolves into a full-scale investigation into whether Curry Barker is secretly a sleep paralysis demon with a camera budget.We kick things off with Milk & Serial, the micro-budget horror phenomenon that proves you don't need millions of dollars when you have anxiety, manipulation, and enough uncomfortable tension to make viewers want to crawl out of their own skin. We discuss: Manipulation Psychological warfareFriendship Why every decision made by these characters feels like watching someone juggle chainsaws over a wood chipperThe growing realization that Curry Barker might actually feed on audience discomfortThen we dive headfirst into Obsession, a film that starts as an awkward romance and slowly transforms into a nightmare designed by someone who looked at the concept of "red flags" and thought:"What if we made those visible from space?" We break down Bear's increasingly terrible decisions, Nikki's nightmare-fuel performance, the infamous "You were supposed to kiss me" jump scare, hidden clues scattered throughout the film, and the realization that every time you rewatch Obsession you discover another detail that makes you mutter, "Oh no... that's somehow worse."Along the way, we spiral into: Whether Nikki is secretly possessed by a dead cat (the internet has theories)Why horror fans immediately become conspiracy theorists after one viewing The ethics of magical wish-graning customer service How a movie can make you simultaneously laugh, cringe, panic, and need therapy The possibility that Curry Barker is simply three filmmakers stacked on top of each other in a trench coat We also celebrate Barker's incredible practical effects work, his ability to make audiences laugh and panic simultaneously, and the fact that he somehow keeps producing horror films that feel deeply personal, wildly ambitious, and completely capable of ruining your evening. Giving this man access to Leatherface feels less like a movie announcement and more like accidently handing a flamethrower to someone who just figured out how gasoline works. And we can't wait.

Leaders In Payments

Payments are speeding up everywhere, but the real story is what that speed breaks and what it demands from the people running the rails. I'm joined by Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Payments and Trade and Depositary Receipts at BNY, for a clear-eyed conversation about what's changing in the payments industry and what leaders should do next when complexity keeps piling up. From her journey through consulting and nearly two decades in payments to leading multiple global roles at BNY, Jennifer brings a practical view of how money actually moves at scale. We unpack the biggest pressures she hears from clients right now: navigating countless payment systems worldwide, balancing faster settlement with fraud controls, and fixing the friction that still plagues cross-border payments. Jennifer explains why interoperability matters so much and why clients don't want another new network to manage. They want outcomes: get it there fastest, safest, and most economically, with the right data attached. That data angle shows up again when we talk about ISO 20022 and why richer payment information can be just as valuable as the payment itself. We also dig into the always-on future and why 24/7/365 is more than a technology upgrade. It's an operating model challenge, with staffing, treasury workflows, and decisioning that must work nonstop. Finally, we zoom out on trends like AI in payments for anomaly detection and smart routing, and we tackle the stablecoin question with a grounded take on what really matters in cross-border: transparency, predictability, and reliability.

Prepare for a philosophical bloodbath and a few hot takes, because The Filmlosophers are bringing the heat this week! Hosts Eddie and Spencer are joined by the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy to tackle a massively jam-packed episode. Before the studio descends into existential chaos, Eddie kicks things off on a lighter note by debuting a brand-new, highly anticipated segment: Reddit Movie Questions. Knowing that the internet is an absolute goldmine of cinematic debates, Eddie pulls a popular prompt from the forums to test the table, asking Spencer and Amy to name a movie that boasts an absolutely flawless first thirty minutes, only to completely fall apart at the finish line. The crew delivers some incredibly spicy and surprising answers that will definitely have listeners yelling at their devices. Once the Reddit dust settles, the Titanic Trio shifts their focus to the indie horror sensation that is currently taking the theatrical world by storm. The team dives into Focus Features' latest hit, Obsession, the highly anticipated feature film from YouTube content creator Curry Barker. The crew breaks down the terrifying premise of a hopeless romantic using the mysterious One Wish Willow to force his crush to love him, praising the harrowing performances and Barker's impressive transition from internet shorts to the silver screen. However, a standard film critique quickly escalates into a feisty, deeply heated debate about the core of the human experience. Taking the film's dark and possessive themes to heart, the hosts find themselves completely clashing over the true nature of humanity. The conversation spirals into a massive philosophical debate over morality itself, begging the ultimate question: does a man become evil at the exact moment he decides to make a poor, selfish decision, or is he fundamentally always evil because the inevitability of making that dark decision was there all along? Ideologies collide, the fundamental outlook on the goodness in people is put to the ultimate test, and the studio captures every ounce of the intellectual carnage. Grab your One Wish Willow and prepare to question your own morality, because it is time to get obsessed!

Tom Barker on The Truth About Drug Pricing Policy

DC EKG

In Episode 136 of DC EKG, Joe Grogan hosts Tom Barker, a top drug-pricing attorney at Foley Hoag and former acting general counsel of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Bush administration. Tom helped implement Medicare Part D and now advises drugmakers and policymakers on complex pricing issues. The episode traces 20 years of policy: what went right with Part D, what the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) did, and what effective policy should look like.Tom explains that Part D's success rested on three pillars: private plans only, limited government control over benefit design, and a non-interference clause barring the government from intervening in negotiations among plans, pharmacies, and manufacturers. Competition worked and premiums stayed low, until the government asserted more control and weakened those pillars. The IRA, he argues, was a 16-year Democratic effort to repeal non-interference, creating price controls disguised as negotiations.The Trump administration has taken a different tack, focusing not on the IRA but on MFN and Globe Guard models pegged to other developed countries.

Some financial decisions come with clear answers. Others require balancing risks, opportunities, and a healthy dose of uncertainty. In our episode “May 30, 2026: Mortgages, Money Transfers & Monetary Policy,” we explore three areas where the right decision depends as much on context as it does on the numbers — from adjustable-rate mortgages and wealth transfers to the Federal Reserve's ongoing fight against inflation.Adjustable-rate mortgages are making a comeback, but this isn't a repeat of the housing bubble era. With special guest Shanna Squires from Henssler Mortgage Advisors, we break down how today's ARMs differ from the products that helped fuel the financial crisis, why some homebuyers are turning to them in a world of elevated mortgage rates, and whether they represent a smart strategy or a risky gamble on lower rates ahead.Next, we tackle a listener question about inheriting and gifting money. From estate taxes and inheritance taxes to annual gift exclusions and lifetime exemptions, we'll explain what the rules actually are—and just as importantly, what they aren't. If you've ever wondered how families can pass wealth to the next generation without creating unnecessary tax headaches, this conversation is for you.Finally, we examine a question many investors are asking: What happens when inflation is driven by supply shortages rather than consumer demand? With oil prices and geopolitical tensions once again influencing inflation expectations, we discuss the limits of Federal Reserve policy, why interest rates remain the Fed's primary tool, and the difficult tradeoffs policymakers face when fighting inflation that may be originating far outside their control.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.

This week, we review the horror sensation of the summer, Curry Barker's sleeper hit: Obsession. A graduate of the sketch comedy to cinema pipeline, Barker shares much of his pedigree with other breakout filmmakers such as Zach Cregger, the Philippou Brothers, and Chris Stuckmann, but does he have what it takes to break out of the habits of his contemporaries? We talk about Obsession's streamlined power, its wild turns, and the film's undeniable superstar: Inde Navarette.

This week on the podcast, we're reviewing Obsession (2026), the new horror film from rising filmmaker Curry Barker that's been generating a ton of buzz online and on the festival circuit. What starts as an awkward romantic wish-fulfillment story quickly spirals into something disturbing, uncomfortable, and completely unhinged. We talk about the film's blend of horror and dark comedy, the nightmare-fuel performance from Inde Navarrette, and why so many critics are calling this one of the breakout horror movies of 2026. We also get into the movie's themes of control, obsession, toxic relationships, and the film's shocking moments. Plus, we discuss the direction from Barker, the movie's chaotic tone shifts, the effectiveness of the gore and psychological horror, and whether this is a future cult classic or simply a mean-spirited endurance test. Was Obsession one of the year's best horror films, or did it push things too far for us? Tune in to hear our full review and final scores. -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.
