This week, The Movie Group Chat takes on Curry Barker’s Obsession — and the group definitely does not agree on everything.

Is Obsession genuinely a great horror movie, or is it an iconic cultural moment that became bigger than the movie itself? Jeremy, Justin, and Chet debate the difference between great and iconic, why Curry Barker’s success matters for independent filmmakers, and what it means to see a younger generation getting excited about going to the movies.

They also break down the performances of Inde Navarrette, Michael Johnston and Cooper Tomlinson, the filmmaking details Chet caught on a second viewing, and Justin’s biggest problems with the screenplay.

Then things get philosophical: Is the movie about wishful love, control, possession, obsession, or people who simply don’t understand what love actually is? And after debating Bear, Nikki and the mysterious one-wish willow, the guys arrive at an unexpected candidate for the movie’s real villain: Ian.

Love it or hate it, Obsession gave us plenty to argue about.

Chet picks Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Matt Johnson’s wildly inventive time-travel comedy about two lifelong friends still chasing the same dream 17 years later.

Jeremy, Justin, and Chet break down the movie’s chaotic filmmaking style, its incredible 2008 references, low-budget creativity, seamless visual tricks, and the moments that made them wonder, “How did they actually do that?”

But the conversation goes deeper than the comedy. Is the movie really about fame? Friendship? Growing up? Or realizing that success means very little if you lose the people you wanted to share it with?

Plus, the guys debate the ending, talk Back to the Future, The Hangover, BlackBerry, and introduce Chet’s newest recurring obsession: Font Score.

This week, Andy Buckley joins us to revisit The Other Guys — the Adam McKay action-comedy that put him on screen with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Keaton and one of the deepest comedy casts of its era.

Andy tells the incredible story of nearly losing the role because of another movie, getting the schedule worked out at the last minute, and walking onto a set surrounded by actors he considered heroes.

We talk about Will Ferrell improvising for minutes at a time, Adam McKay’s loose directing style, Mark Wahlberg breaking Andy during takes, Michael Keaton being every bit as cool as you’d hope, and what it was actually like standing on that ledge nine stories above New York.

Andy also gets into his unusual path from actor to stockbroker and back again, why The Office was once literally his “side hustle,” and how The Other Guys became a major boost for his acting career.

Then the group debates whether movies like The Other Guys can still get made today, celebrates Michael Keaton’s comedy career, gives out the latest Amy Madigan Award, and naturally quotes half the movie.
