What is the premise of Obsession (2025) and why are we covering it on Movie Club?
what's up task force this week on movie club we are covering the 2025 movie obsession after breaking the mysterious one wish willow to win his crush's heart a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark sinister price you can catch this episode over at redwebpod.com if you haven't seen obsession already we'll recap the movie stopping to react and giving our thoughts along the way here's a preview of today's episode barry later talks to nikki on the phone and she tells him she is planning to give her two weeks notice at their job he overhears her saying she dropped a crystal necklace down a sewer drain barry goes to a shop to buy her a replacement necklace but then sees something called a one wish willow which he also purchases
How does Bear acquire the one‑wish willow and what motivates his wish for Nikki?
i think did he even get the necklace i think he i was like boy that is the best move you could have gotten her like this nice crystal necklace a good gesture to show that you're replacing this thing and he goes yeah you know what i'll take that six dollar stick like bear come on Bear joins Nikki, Ian, and Sarah for trivia night. Afterward, Bear drops Nikki off at home and wants to confess his feelings to her, but he is too awkward, and he refers to her as Freaky Nikki, a nickname she despises. When she asks Bear if he likes her, he just denies it. After Nikki goes back inside, Bear takes out the one-wish willow and wishes for Nikki to love him more than anyone in the world. Nikki suddenly reappears and offers to go home with Bear, saying she feels bad because her dad is dying of cancer.
When they get home, Nikki asks Bear to sleep with her.
Why does Nikki suddenly behave erratically after Bear makes the wish?
They start kissing until she suddenly pulls back in terror, claiming that there is something behind Bear. that was an interesting one i was like what is she seeing behind him oh that's something really interesting now in hindsight to assess fredo having seen it twice what's your read on that scene i think for me it's just her snapping in and out of like the real nikki and this fake nikki she's being taken over by this fake nikki but it's not a smooth transition okay yeah and i love that so much just because it adds so much more depth and it makes it less i thought this movie would be solely anchored on she is obsessed so she does these over-the-top things There are a lot of over the top things that happen because she, the real Nikki comes back and snaps into place and is like terrified.
And then as we find out later on, you know what I mean? That the real Nikki is suffering. Yeah. and so i love that and then i also do love this scene because it is the tension you know we've all been there like i like this girl or i like this guy and sometimes you might even be friends and you want to tell them or whatever and you might even have the opportunity but you're just too scared to say something then he snaps the willow makes the wish and then she just appears on the doorstep
How do the hosts interpret the film's visual choices like lighting and silhouettes?
yeah that shot was cool the lighting no lighting on her face and anything like that and it was such a great uh snap into where the movie is going and the craziness that all that all happens and i do love throughout the movie how you don't see her face in some of these shots as she like switches switches up the personalities and the tone shifts and everything like that it just leaves so much more mystery to it and even here the way she moves is so aggressive and sporadic and her facial gestures as well yes that i'm just like oh here we go and she's like that the acting is is off to the races bro it makes everything she snip snaps back and forth between two versions of herself so seamlessly i totally agree it's well done i'm like how did you do that all in one take but also
It sets you up to never know what to expect throughout the rest of the movie. She's not going to be in one lane. Is she going to jump in and out? But also like when she says she sees something behind him, I'm wondering if that's the, you know, air quotes, real Nikki seeing this, like this force that is going to take her over.
