Twilight Zone is so funny because it has some of the best dramatic episodes ever aired on television often with prescient political and social messages, and then also there is an episode where William Shakespeare is brought back to life through black magic and punches a guy
Was "Evil Hillbilly Mother And Her Two Stupid Son Minions" such a prevalent problem in 1980s america that every cartoon from the late 80s to the early 2010s was referencing it? What the fuck is this trope

Okay thoughts on Obsession:
-The lighting and sound design keeps you on your toes
-The switch of Nikki/the entity from the one wish willow is incredible acting
-Piggy backing off my last point, she’d make an incredible actress in any film. Her facial expressions, vocal range and emotional power driven through her voice is incredible
-It was definitely made to be horror/comedy.
-A few of the scenes had jumps that i thought I was prepared for but definitely was NOT
-The Hansel and Gretel monologue and the party scene was executed so well it had me cringing
-Subtle references to other horror films/horror history within it that make me want to give it another watch, maybe 5 more watches tbh
-The scene screen capped was one of my favorites out of the entire film, my prime example of why her acting range in just this film alone is insane. Can’t wait to see her in more films in the future.
10/10 cinema IMO. It was incredible.
really salient, troubling stuff. rightly shows Chris Hansen as the forefather of today's fascist video content mill, driven by the desire for punitive spectacle (the look into YouTube impersonator 'Skeet Hansen' is very grim). we now live in a world of fucked-up 00s reality tv
