Obscure Obsessions Season 2 is complete! A few holiday specials are premiering in the coming months. But in the meantime, we wanted to share some of our favorite episodes from Season 1. All these episodes are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more places!
Season 1, Episode 3 - “Sunday in the Park with Dinosaurs” (Jurassic Park III)
No one ranks the threequel to “Jurassic Park" very highly — except for Nick and I. This big budget creature feature, light on thematic depth but high on fun, is one of our favorite “Sunday afternoon” movies (and Nick’s favorite bad movie).
We examine the film’s threadbare plot, discuss the original abandoned storylines, and challenge the notion that JPIII is the weakest installment in the franchise — while picking apart the many, many weaknesses.
Season 1, Episode 13 - “Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim” (Muppet Treasure Island)
Many films were adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, “Treasure Island”, but only one starred a frog, a pig, and a guy living in a bear’s finger.
In this episode, we call up our cousin Anthony to reminisce about the Muppets, sing a few of the movie’s tunes, and profess our undying devotion for the multitalented Tim Curry.
Season 1, Episode 14 - “Lunch Has Been Cancelled” (Heavyweights)
Summer continues at Camp Hope! Come along as a group of portly campers wage war against the camp’s psychologically twisted new owner, Tony Perkis (Ben Stiller).
In this episode, we endlessly quote the movie, analyze Stiller’s hilariously deranged performance, and marvel at Kenan Thompson’s career longevity. You don’t want to miss this deep dive into the world and characters of “Heavyweights”, and much more!
Season 1, Episode 16 - “Disney Minus” (with Un-Premier Access)
Want to go beyond the mainstream content available on Disney+? Nick and I are here to guide you through the many odd and obscure selections available on the Disney streaming service.
We discuss some of our favorite oddball content, like “Mr. Boogedy” and “Blackbeard’s Ghost”, try to piece together the fragmented narrative of “Sammy the Way Out Seal”, and bemoan the dreary color palette of “Fuzzbucket”.
Season 1, Episode 18 - “The Most Evil Disney Villain of All Time!” (Tower of Terror)
Our brand new HALLOWEEN SPECIAL premieres October 28. But get into the Halloween spirit early and join us as we check into the Hollywood Tower Hotel, better known to the ghostly guests as the Tower of Terror!!! This surprisingly spine-tingling TV-movie premiered on October 26, 1997 as part of ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney.
On Halloween night 1937, 5 guests mysteriously vanished in the hotel’s elevator. Sixty years later, a journalist (Steve Gutenberg) and his niece (Kirsten Dunst) search for answers at the now haunted hotel.
