Summerween: Obsession Film Review
In honor of Summerween, join Lilian, Ely, and a special guest, as they discuss the underdog horror film that went viral, Obsession. Along with our hot, lukewarm, and maybe even cold takes, we will discuss how the themes in this film show up in the work we do and the very real lived nightmare of surviving sexual violence. Content warning for discussions of animal death, sexual assault, relationship abuse, murder, and suicide. Spoiler warning for the movie Obsession (2026).
