ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Bob welcomes back our old friend Spenser Davis to discuss Obsession, the breakout indie horror sensation that turned a $750,000 budget into one of the year's biggest success stories, while exploring what its rise says about the future of independent filmmaking. Together they unpack the film's themes of codependency, obsession, and the dangerous pursuit of getting exactly what you think you want, breaking down Bear's descent from sympathetic romantic lead into something far more sinister. Plus, they discuss horror as modern allegory, the power of creative limitations, and why original genre films continue to connect with audiences in ways that many blockbuster franchises cannot.
