This week on episode #177 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Obsession and a conversation around the movie that seems to be focused on everything except what makes it so interesting. While a lot of the discourse has centered on the more obvious parts of the story, we think there’s a much bigger idea underneath it that changes how you look at the entire movie. We break down what everyone is talking about, what we think they’re overlooking, and why that missing piece matters to the way Obsession actually works.

We also talk about Marvel’s strange showing at Comic-Con and what James Gunn’s current DCU strategy could mean for its future. Plus, Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider movie has us worried, and we get into Curry Barker taking on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and why we think he could have a very promising future in horror.

This week on episode #176 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Supergirl and the exhausting discourse that seems to surround every new DC movie before anyone can simply talk about whether the movie is actually good. We break down what worked for us, what didn’t, and how the conversation surrounding Supergirl became as interesting as the movie itself. We also get into where the film fits into James Gunn’s growing DCU and what it tells us about the direction this universe is heading.

Plus we try to understand why movie studios continually make decisions that seem designed to lose money, and try to answer the question of whether or not we are entering a new age of comic book movies.

This week on episode #175 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we made Marvin watch Possession for the first time, a movie so singular and uncompromising that the idea of remaking it almost feels impossible. With a new adaptation now in development, we break down what makes the original so difficult to replicate, from its unhinged performances and surreal horror to the deeply personal relationship at the center of it all, and debate what a modern remake could possibly add.We also talk about why physical media may be getting forced into a comeback, what Gen Z actually wants from movies, and whether A24 has lost what once made the studio feel special. Plus we react to Curry Barker taking on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and what his involvement could mean for one of horror’s most iconic franchises.📌 Chapters00:00 - Physical Media is Getting Forced To Make A Comeback12:20 - What Kinds of Movies Does Gen Z Want To See?18:03 - A24 is Done24:34 - Curry Barker is Making A Texas Chainsaw Massacre26:50 - Possession Review and Why It Shouldn't Be Remade🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Could a Possession remake ever capture what makes the original work, or is this one movie Hollywood should leave alone?🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/
