  • Obsession review

    Just basing this on the “obsession” review. They put into words why I was disappointed in this film. It wasn’t the film I wanted it to be. Her behavior wasn’t obsessive. It was just creepy. It could have been so much better and smarter.

  • Set this pod free on your ears, you won’t regret it

    Great show, charming, informative, funny, came here following a recommendation from Rob Hill of The Bad Movie Bible, who’s an occasional guest, so glad I did. (Even if the theme song lives rent free in my head now)
