The Obsession Digression episodes

  • Episode 42: "Throwing Our La Croix", or O
    …in which Katie and Sam discuss the long-shelved teen Othello adaptation, O. And it is odd. They discuss Julia Style's acting abilities, former teen star Andrew Keegan's spotty southern accent, and Ed Harris' aging. (No, he's not in the movie -- we just have thoughts.)

  • Episode 38: “Ass Tracks", or the Neverending Story
    ...in which Katie and Sam try to fein enthusiasm for The Neverending Story. Listen as they discuss Sam's marching band background (guys, that's a vulnerable confession), consider Mr. Ed's suicide (RIP to like so many horses this ep), and the cosmic question of human singularity. I want to assure you that it's a happier episode than it sounds but I can't honestly remember!

  • Episode 33: "The Lady-Time Exam," or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
    …in which Katie and Sam asked for a better witch, and got a better witch. We’re talking C.S. Lewis, and all of the delight and Christian-allegorical baggage that comes with it. Katie shares experiences from recent medical exams, Sam covets gravity blankets, and both discuss their respective beloved adaptations.
