This episode is one for the books!!! This week, Nina and Katherine start the convo off chatting about Nina’s movie, artistic north stars, and the power of David Lynch. Then you better buckle up, because we go IN on two iconic ships that we are most definitely going down with. First, we discuss how both of us became Kingdon shippers (Mel King and Frank Langdon from The Pitt - yes, we’re talking The Pitt again! You can’t stop us!) Then, Nina introduces Katherine to one of her most beloved ships of all time - Stiles Stilinski and Lydia Martin from MTV’s Teen Wolf. We swoon! We get righteously angry! We praise the power of a needle-drop moment in a TV show! We really cover it all here, folks. Thanks for being along for the ride.

Hello Obsessies!! This week’s episode is a little different than our usual. We’re joined by actor Dakota Lustick as he details his intense pandemic hyperfixation on a totally forgotten background astronaut in the 1998’s iconic piece of cinema, Armageddon. We dive deep into how his obsessive search for this ghost of a character led to a mind-blowing, real-life encounter on the streets of Hollywood, sparking a raw conversation about the heartbreaking realities of the entertainment industry and how our hyperfixations often mirror our own deepest fears. It’s definitely a different side to an “obsession” that we’ve discussed before, and we hope you enjoy.
