Episode Details

Hello, movie maniacs!

This week David and Mary are preoccupied by the surprise hit Obsession, written and directed by YouTube sketch comedian Curry Barker. You might even call it a fixation.

It’s become a meme machine, is still in theatres after a May release and has made over $500 million on its $750, 000 budget.

Speaking of obsessions, these are the sorts of numbers that fascinate Hollywood, which, in Dave’s view, is going to be knocking on the doors of many a YouTube creator looking for that next horror hit.

With that in mind, Mary and Dave also discussed Kane Parsons Backrooms with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, which has made almost $400 million on a $10 million budget.

Dave is calling it the YouTube-ification of horror films and we’ll have to wait and see if his predictions become a sort of reality.

In the meantime, what did Mary and Dave think of Obsession? Well, let them fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.
