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.
