Today we dive into a film that is as disturbing as it is relatable and bizarre as it is unforgettable: ‘Possession’ from 1981. We explore the chaotic brilliance of Andrzej Żuławski, his turbulent career, and how his personal life shaped this visceral descent into madness, identity, and emotional collapse.

Recorded live at Cine in Athens, GA on 10-09-25, this episode captures the raw energy of the screening and the audience discussion that followed, unpacking the film’s intense performances, shocking imagery, and enduring cult legacy.
