    170b: SPOILER'D Obsession

    OBSESSION SPOILER'D — The Ending, Bear's Villain Arc & Why Indy Navarrete Deserves Her Flowers Full spoilers are in play (even in the description), so if you haven't seen Obsession yet, go watch it and come back. We'll wait. Jose and Mike are joined by Kevin Matthews of Raiders of the Podcast and E.f. Contentment to do a full critical analysis and movie breakdown of Curry Barker's debut feature. We're talking the One Wish Willow mythology, what actually happens at the end (that second snap matters), why Bear is the villain of his own story, and why Indy Navarrete deserves serious awards conversation alongside Toni Collette and Mia Goth in the horror performance hall of fame. This one gets under your skin — and we're here for it. Catch the spoiler-free episode first if you haven't. JUMP IN AND GET OBSESSSED! - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 170: OBSESSION

    Obsession (2025) | Does Curry Barker's Divisive Horror Live Up to the Hype? ft. Raiders of the Podcast & EF Contentment Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) bring back two beloved pod guests — Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast and E.f. Contentment — for a spoiler-free review of Obsession (2025), the polarizing TIFF sensation from YouTube filmmaker Curry Barker, now distributed by Blumhouse. Part Gen Z Fatal Attraction, part Ari Aster descent-into-dread, Obsession arrives loaded with hype, and the crew debates whether it earns every bit of it. Starring Michael Johnston and a star-making Indy Navarrete, this is a horror film with layers: a monkey's paw premise modernized into something raw, uncomfortable, and genuinely hard to shake. Imagine Hereditary meets May meets Fresh — and you're still not quite there. The Boyz cover Barker's origin story (including his debut $800 found footage film Milk & Serial), the film's consent and mental health subtext, and whether Indy Navarrete is the next Mia Goth.

    169b: SPOILER'D Mortal Kombat 2

    MK2 Full Spoiler Breakdown: Did This Sequel Fix the Franchise or Double Down on Its Mistakes? FATALITY-level spoilers incoming! Cupcake, Mike (WillDaBeast), and returning guest Lucky Bri go deep on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026), directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Karl Urban as the washed-up action hero turned reluctant fighter Johnny Cage. We cover the good (the Baraka fight sequence, Kitana's emotional revenge arc, the Kung Lao portal fight), the bad (the script's logic holes, Kitana suddenly fighting for Earthrealm, Scorpion's tacked-on return), and the very ugly (illogical plot twists, the endless revenant resurrection loop that drains every death of stakes). We also debate whether the franchise should just lean into being a 90-minute fight movie and stop reaching for Game of Thrones-esque mythology. Two of us walked out calling it a watch, one a BIG skip. Listen to find out who's who. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 169: MORTAL KOMBAT II spoiler free

    MK2 (2026): Fatalities, Fan Service & a Panel Divided | ft. Brian from Lucky Finds Comics Jose (Cupcake), Mike (WillDaBeast), and Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics go spoiler-free on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026) — and the panel is split wide open. Karl Urban arrives as Johnny Cage, Ludi Lin returns as Liu Kang, Josh Lawson is back as Kano, and Adeline Rudolph steps up as Katana in a film that's part fan service, part franchise-building behemoth, and — for at least one of us — a brutal disappointment. Fans of Mortal Kombat (1995), Mortal Kombat (2021), and classic video game tournament films like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport will find a lot to chew on here. We dig into the franchise legacy, the creative team behind the film, and deliver three very different verdicts — including one that drops the hammer hard. Watch or skip? You'll have to listen to find out who loved it, who had reservations, and who called Finish Him on the whole thing. 🎧 SPOILER'D episode drops Sunday — same feed, no filter. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    168B: SPOILER'D Hokum

    HOKUM (2026) — Full Spoiler Breakdown & Ending Explained SPOILER WARNING — this one is fully spoiled. Cupcake and WillDaBeast go deep on Hokum, Damien McCarthy's 2026 supernatural Irish folklore horror starring Adam Scott, and nothing is off limits. What starts as a haunted hotel story quietly becomes something much more devastating: a film about guilt, accidental violence, and whether the ghosts we carry are out to destroy us or set us free. We unpack the full mythology of the witch in the honeymoon suite, trace every character's haunting back to its source, and wrestle with whether McCarthy earned his ending or showed too much too soon. Mike also gets personal in a way that genuinely stopped us in our tracks. We also break down the full Damien McCarthy filmography fingerprint....every crossbow, chalk circle, chained man, and creepy rabbit across Caveat, Oddity, and Hokum...and make the case that these three films deserve to be packaged and sold as an Irish folklore trilogy.

    Episode 168: HOKUM spoiler free

    Hokum Review | Caveat & Oddity Director Damian McCarthy Swings Big with Adam Scott Irish folklore horror is having a moment — and Hokum (2026), the latest from writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity), might be its most ambitious entry yet. Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Rec, Krampus, Step Brothers) plays an author so deeply unlikable you'll be rooting against him, but McCarthy keeps pulling you into his strange, slow-burning world anyway. Think The Shining, 1408, What Lies Beneath, and Creepshow blended with ancient Irish mythology and a very weird goat. Austin Amelio (The Walking Dead) also appears in a memorable supporting role. Cupcake crushes on this sexy dude. Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) debate whether McCarthy's supernatural stew holds together and whether this completes what just might be an Irish folklore horror trilogy. Verdicts incoming.

    Mother Mary SPOILER'D | Ending Explained, The Red Spectre & Why It's The Best A24 Film of 2025 Full spoilers for Mother Mary (2025), A24's gothic psychological drama from director David Lowery, starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Jose and Mike go deep on the entire film — the true meaning behind the Mother Mary / Joan of Arc persona, the red satin spectre and what it symbolizes, the FKA Twigs seance sequence, and the breathtaking final image that brings it all home. If Possession, Black Swan, The Babadook, or Bram Stoker's Dracula hit for you, this film belongs in that conversation: It's a story about creative partnership, female friendship, betrayal, and the unresolved trauma that lives in the space between two people who were once everything  to each other. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!

    Episode 167: Mother Mary

    We Saw Mother Mary and Oh My God — Spoiler-Free Review We were supposed to review another film this week, one that also featured a pop star with a title starting with "M". Then A24 dropped Mother Mary — and honestly? Best pivot we've ever made! David Lowery's Mother Mary stars Anne Hathaway as a pop star on the cusp of her comeback, pulled back into the orbit of her estranged best friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. What sounds like a celebrity drama slowly reveals itself as something far more raw, strange, and beautiful. If you loved Black Swan, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, or anything in A24's weirder corner of their catalog, this one is for you. Jose and Mike share their spoiler-free takes with just genuine enthusiasm and a whole lot of feelings about Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, the music (by FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, and Jack Antonoff, and that FKA Twigs sequence. Verdicts are in, and let's just say we didn't leave disappointed. - - - - - - - - - - WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE Email us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com Be kind. Be open.
