What does it really mean to love someone? In this episode, we dive deep into the 2026 horror film Obsession and use it as a lens to explore the difference between genuine love and limerence, the fantasy we project onto someone that has nothing to do with who they actually are. We talk about why real love means wanting someone's freedom and happiness even when it doesn't include you, what it looks like when desire becomes control, and why the scariest thing in the film isn't the horror, it's how recognizable Bear's behavior actually is.
