Indie horror makes a splash this week as the obsession with OBSESSION takes hold of audiences and BACKROOMS hits big at the box office!

But are the Nerds as obsessed? This week we review OBSESSION for our feature discussion and get a taste of the BACKROOMS with Miguel!

Before all that though, we catch up on the Summer Movie Wager as these two horror flicks shake things up, and where we all currently stand.

We also delve in some news with the announcement of the latest God of War spinoff, LAUFEY, and that one of our favorite movies of ‘26 so far, NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE got some much deserved love and awards!

We tear into the trailer for The End of Oak Street - some of us are over this style of trailer for sure, but dinosaurs? Anne Hathaway? Come on!

And we round it out with what we’re into including a personal experience Miguel had with Backrooms (and The Breadwinner?), and Luis pumps us up for Appletvs Widows Bay!

All that and more, be sure to check out the episode, follow like and subscribe on social media and youtube, and stay tuned for our weekly podcast!
