In this episode of Open Tabs, we're discussing the 2026 movie Obsession. Y'all, this movie was unsettling. Trigger Warning: discussion of sexual assault. 

We're talking about the biggest lie the movie exposes: the "nice guy." Bear was never the victim, and the more I thought about his actions, the more uncomfortable they became. From ignoring every sign that Nikki wasn't herself to asking, "What's so wrong about being with me?", this episode dives into entitlement, obsession, and why loving the idea of someone isn't the same as loving who they actually are. Spoilers ahead.
