Pat in thumbnail, this gonna be a good one

Jamaal Ellison

This is my ideal couch configuration for a movie like this.

Z Cole

Chris saying “name it, we seen it” but they haven’t watched the Horrible Bosses movies smh

Kickinthescience

Considering how squeamish Rana is I would add her to this movie couch as well

Ren Davis

And now it’s time for the Normies to join in our collective Obsession 😏 If I had a nickel for every cast member that was a regular and/or recurring character in a show that had Tyler Hoechlin as a main I would have two nickels (Inde Navarrette and Michael Johnston). Which isn’t a lot, but it’s a nice coincidence.

Great reaction guys! I'm genuinely shocked y'all didn't clock what was going on with the wish (how it was affecting her specifically) earlier, especially when she freaked out after the first kiss.

My new name (he/him)

Love the reaction. The walking backwards and screaming at night were the scariest parts for me.

Royal Chandler

Oh lookit, it’s the reaction I have been waiting for ✨

Jackie Gibson

Realistically I know Nikki is probably in prison for life or institutionalized, but my optimistic headcannon is that Nikki is let go and she moves away to deal with her trauma, I just feel bad since she was the victim in all this 😭 Also I thankfully don't have any crazy dating stories, but I did have a guy "friend" who I made in college and once we got close and started hanging out he made a move despite knowing I'm only interested in women and he even met my partner of 8 years. When I asked why he did this, he said my relationship wasn't real... 🫠 What? Lol anyways I never saw him again and this movie was awesome.

Ren Davis

Curry Barker, the director, is the one on the phone when Bear calls about altering his wish. He and Cooper Tomlinson (Ian) have a funny Youtube channel called “that’s a bad idea” He’s also made some pretty good horror short films on there.

SergeTroy

I’m still irritated that the writer / director stated that Nikki was literally ensorcelled and in the grip of this nebulous thing that wasn’t an entity to itself. There were a number of things that made me feel it was some kind of demon. When she was asking Bear to kill her, and telling him “she” was asleep by example. And when he called the worst customer service ever and talking to Nikki was just an endless scream.

Zeee

This is a great couch for this lol

Ren Davis

I and a lot of other fans see the Hansel and Gretel scene as a metaphor for Bear and Nikki since it was a dark, incestuous relationship between brother and sister and it was said that Nikki saw Bear as a brother. I’ve seen some takes where you can tell people’s problems are that it was simply from Bear’s perspective, and they would have preferred if it were from Nikki’s. A horror story about a “nice guy” who steals her autonomy vs. the “nice guy” seeing the horrors that come with stealing someone’s autonomy. That’s a completely valid take. But I think the power of this particular story comes from centering Bear as the protagonist. The movie places us in Bear’s shoes because the animus that drives Bear is a prevailing sense of entitlement. Bear doesn’t see anything wrong with his actions because he centers his own satisfaction before someone else’s autonomy. He’s the main character of his own story. Not a mustache twirling villain. Just like we are in real life. Even the villains. There are a lot of people who would feel the same impulses as Bear and find some rationalization to still paint themselves as the good guy. He’s unfortunately very relatable. The movie is a mirror that forces us to contend with our darker impulses, and the horrors that we create.

Happy 4th Normies! Was hoping for this! Was also hoping for a full couch...thank you to the four of you for doing this...always grateful...but is there any chance you will do a second reaction with Rana, Navi (when they return), Spidey, and maybe guest starring Micky and your Nikki? 😁

Chriz Elkinberg

All men should know BEAR was in the wrong dude basically taken advantage of the situation knowing he was wrong

SnapGrapplePop

Unfortunately, Marketa's fears aren't unfounded. A lot of people saw Bear as the victim of the film

Nabeshin

Chris is correct about the audio. A lot of times, when Nikki is speaking, and you don't see her face, they're dubbing over with a different recording. Also, they purposely shot 2 different versions of the opening scenes with Nikki. One where Navarrette was told to act like she's into Bear, and one where she's not. Then Barker cut between those two different versions, so it's up to interpretation whether or not Nikki liked Bear back.

Silva Jin

Seeing this in theaters was super scary, her facial expressions show way more especially the dark scenes 😳

LMFAOO

Javi

God rana would've been perfect for this one

Javi

I don't care how the oscars view the horror genre as a "lesser" acclaimed subgenre; Inde Navarrette deserves a nomination for this performance because she goes absolutely insane, she's one of my standout performances this year in general! The ending is perfect as it is for a horror film because it is so sad and uncomfortable that we just leave the real Nikki there with all of this insanely traumatic shit that just happened without her own will at all!

Cheesey1

ngl, im very impressed and kinda relieved that Pat was the first to call Bear the villain of the movie lmaoo

Kay Bee Baby

This movie is absolutely amazing the acting, especially by the two main actors is just phenomenal. Bear was always the villain, it just takes a bit longer to see because he’s an emotionally stunted coward/“nice guy”. He’s the reason the cat died, if he put his grandma’s medicine away properly it wouldn’t have been able to get to it. And he was obsessed with Nikki who seems to be a great friend to him, while he in return only seemed to hang around her to get a chance to sleep with her. His fake confession in the beginning is hallow, as he barely seems to know anything about her while both Ian and Sarah seemed to know about her desire to write and her relationship with her estranged father. Meanwhile Bear must’ve heard at least about her desire to become a writer and he still acts like this is the first time he heard about this. Also IF he was a decent person he could/would’ve just wished for more confidence to ask out Nikki, for her side there wasn’t an attraction… but she might have given him a chance if he came correct.

An interesting fact someone brought up was the fact that the tiggers eye gifted by fake nikki was supposed to represent courage and before bears final moment when he decided not to shoot himself he also puts the tigers eye aside neglecting courage. Which leads to him taking more time to take the pills, giving fake nikki time to use the one wish willow. So bcuz of that the real Nikki would not be able to use the one wish willow to get herself out of the situation further fucking over nikki because of his cowardice

Gaen RDN

When I saw ketty and pat sitting together I was worried. Especially when she gave pat a singular sideye😭

Sage

Are yall ever gonna finish the scream series??

Lord Mongrel

It makes sense to me. It’s not an external entity that came from somewhere else. It’s a version of her personality that’s forced to act in accordance with Bears wish. She refers to it as ‘her’ because it’s not her but at the same time this version of her didn’t exist before the wish, which is kind of important for possession. I interpreted the call as him being able to allow Bear to speak to Nikki in whatever liminal space inside herself that she’s trapped in. At that moment she was just standing in front of the door trapped and unable to do anything until Bear came back so it makes sense to me that she was screaming. I understand that it makes sense intuitively to say she’s possessed but that brings up a lot of other issues that they obviously weren’t interested in exploring.

Richard Kors

That Brick Scene Had Me Shook In The Theaters

The Normies

i personally love when the protagonist is someone that we shouldn't root for. it makes engaging with the movie that much more interesting, at least to me.

The Normies

ahhh i didn't catch that about the tigers eye!

Danny

It was so crazy to be a fan of them before this. I remember seeing the Obsession trailer and being amazed that it came from Thats a Bad Idea. Such a good channel, and of lot of their stuff is on letterboxd.

Ren Davis

The Doritos can prank one was hilarious 😂 Cooper: “How long did you have that in there!?” Curry: “It was a whiiiiile.” 🤣 Also shout out to the one where Cooper has to promise to pay for Curry’s car if it gets towed. Cooper: “I don’t believe in myself. I’m lost. I’m like Nemo.” Curry: “You’re not Nemo. Nobody wants to find you.” 😭

SSJ VEGITO

Cannot believe these bitches copyright struck this one SMH 🤦‍♂️ You literally have NO IDEA what's goin on in the movie with the small amount you guys upload! All it does is allows us to see your reaction to the best scenes-we STILL have to watch it in order to know what's actually happening in the movie 🙄😒

real1

What a great film. That ending was damn near perfect imo. Fucked up yes..but ole boy clearly needed to go.

MabelandMargaret

I'm late but someone tell Chris it's "Moe Bill" Alabama. lol Signed, a native Alabamian. Also, I'm surprised I've never seen one person make this point: Nikki knows about the money. Go get that and get away with murder. Billionaires do it all the time.

James Finelli

Yo, I’m at the part in the beginning when they are in the car before they go into Bears house and Pat puts his hand hands up talking about “bro you got the easiest lay up” Marketa gives him the death stare. I had to pause and comment 😂😂😂😂
