In this episode of Obsessed, Kevin Fallon explores two recent watches that made him feel everything — in totally opposite ways. He chats with a film critic to talk about ‘Hamnet,’ the quietly devastating film that lingers long after the credits roll. Then, Kevin switches gears with unfiltered celebrity chef and actor, Matty Matheson (‘The Bear’)‪‬. They discuss details of Matty's show, Just a Dash, which is a chaotic, funny, rule-breaking and heavily tattooed Netflix cooking show where global comfort food, oversharing, and laughs matter more than perfect recipes. From joyful chaos to emotional heartbreak, this episode is all about the TV and movies that leave a mark.

In this episode, Kevin Fallon, host and editor-at-large at the Daily Beast’s Obsessed brings everyone inside his latest obsession: ‘Heated Rivalry.’ Kevin kicks things off with Matt Wilstein, Editorial Director of The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, breaking down how the show pulled him in, why it’s so addictive, and what makes it feel like more than just another buzzy series. The conversation then continues with Joanna Coles, Chief Creative and Content Officer for The Daily Beast, as Kevin takes his fixation into a candid, often NSFW discussion about the show’s sex scenes, emotional payoff, and why ‘Heated Rivalry’ is resonating far beyond its expected audience. Joanna also tells Kevin why she’s so frustrated that her other TV obsession, Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman,’ has gone full MAGA.

Matt Wilstein sits down with Lake Bell (‘It’s Complicated’) to talk about how she possibly keeps a straight face opposite SNL alum Tim Robinson on HBO’s bonkers show ‘The Chair Company.’ The comedy star also shares stories about auditioning for Woody Allen and her humiliating first day on set with Meryl Streep. But first, Matt chats with Nick Schager, Entertainment Critic for the Daily Beast’s Obsessed, about all things Tim Robinson, breaking down what makes his work so singular, and why this new show feels like him at the peak of his comedic powers.

Whitney Rose sits down with Kevin Fallon, Obsessed's host, for an unfiltered breakdown of the infamous plane incident no one can fully explain—an explosive confrontation with no footage that continues to divide the cast. She reflects on the emotional fallout from the season finale, a reunion so intense it led to Andy Cohen walking off set, and the complicated reality of confronting castmates only to face them again under the reunion lights. Blending sharp humor with raw honesty, Whitney and Kevin also dive into fan obsession, internet discourse, authenticity in reality TV, and why ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ has evolved into must-watch “cinema,” offering a rare inside look at the chaos, pressure, and power of showing up on camera.

Isaac Mizrahi joins Kevin Fallon on Obsessed for a fast, funny, and candid post–Golden Globes conversation that jumps from his scene-stealing, outrageously dirty line in ‘Marty Supreme’ to why Timothée Chalamet has genuine old-school movie-star magic. Mizrahi weighs in on Jennifer Lawrence’s sheer dress, Ariana Grande’s grown-up glamour reset, Parker Posey’s color misstep, Ozempic-era red-carpet aesthetics, and the sudden coronation of Hollywood’s newest hot boys, along with plenty of classic Mizrahi digressions on Gwyneth Paltrow, supermodels, suits, and the eternal heels-versus-flats debate.

Marina Zenovich, the acclaimed documentary filmmaker behind films on Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and now Chevy Chase, joins Matt Wilstein on ‘Obsessed: The Podcast’ to discuss her latest film, ‘I’m Chevy Chase, and You’re Not’. Marina opens up about the moment Chevy bluntly told her she wasn’t “bright enough” to understand him, the delicate dance of capturing comedy legends on camera, and what it was like piecing together a portrait of a famously prickly subject. Along the way, Matt and Kevin Fallon dive into their obsession with ‘The Pitt,’ the medical drama that’s back and more gripping than ever, and the show’s shocking and emotional premiere moments—from abandoned babies to the chaos of a Fourth of July in the ER.

Judd Apatow didn’t realize it at the time, but as a young teenager growing up on Long Island in the ‘70s, he was inventing the comedy podcast by doing the first-ever long-form radio interviews with his stand-up heroes. So it’s only fitting that he’s the last guest ever on The Last Laugh podcast. In his fourth and final appearance on the show—taped before the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele—Apatow reflects on his early experiences as a proto-comedy podcaster and explains the “lifelong obsession” that inspired his new book, ‘Comedy Nerd.’ (Proceeds benefit the youth writing charity 826 and the Los Angeles wildfire relief organization Fire Aid.) The writer, director, and producer also discusses the state of the studio comedy in 2025, and how some of his most beloved films and TV shows took years to find their audiences. And ahead of his definitive two-part documentary about Mel Brooks coming to HBO in the new year, Apatow breaks down the power of satire to hold the powerful to account. This year, nobody did that better than ‘South Park’ creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. And Apatow has a theory for why Donald Trump has stayed conspicuously silent about their humiliating portrayal of him.

Stay tuned to this feed for the premiere of Obsessed: The Podcast, coming in January from the Daily Beast.
