Obsession (2026) Reaction (Full Length Watch Along):   / thereelrejects  

In this Obsession reaction, horror movie reaction, and review, Tara & Paige dive into the disturbing journey of Willow, played by One Wish Willow (Creator Camp, Social Currency), whose reality begins to unravel as obsession and supernatural forces take hold. As her world grows increasingly unstable, she's joined by Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette (Superman & Lois, 13 Reasons Why), and Bear, played by Michael Johnston (Teen Wolf, The Orville), as their relationships are pushed to the brink in ways that blur the line between emotional breakdown and something far more sinister.
Packed with unforgettable horror moments—including the shocking bottle scene, unsettling body horror, eerie psychological shifts, and the widely discussed scalp twist—Obsession delivers a tense and unpredictable viewing experience. Written and directed by Curry Barker and released through Focus Features, the film stands out for its blend of grounded emotional conflict and escalating supernatural dread. Tara & Paige tackle one of the year's most psychologically intense horror films, breaking down every disturbing twist and unforgettable scare.

Sony is killing physical media, YouTube is more unstable than ever, and the internet keeps reminding us how little control we actually have over the platforms we rely on.

Greg and Coy sit down for a Reel Rejects live stream podcast to talk about the current state of digital ownership, creator burnout, demonetization, algorithm changes, copyright headaches, outrage cycles, and whether the online entertainment world is becoming impossible to trust.

From physical games and movies disappearing, to creators trying to survive on platforms where the rules constantly shift, this is a conversation about what happens when convenience replaces ownership — and when the internet starts feeling less like freedom and more like a system nobody fully understands.

Are we watching the death of physical media?
Is YouTube getting worse for creators?
And is any of this still worth it?

Join us live and let us know what you think.
