Coming moooonths late, the first (pre-Christmas!) part of our discussion of Teen Witch. (Spoiler alert: we never get around to discussing Teen Witch.) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

...in which Sam and Katie plan multi-course menus and discuss The Witches of Eastwick. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam finally remembers to publish this episode! Guys, not to imply that this movie was forgettable but Sam completely forgot and posted the next episode (on The Witches of Eastwick) instead. That one is coming back online next week but first Season of the Witch. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam and Katie discuss high school sex stories—involving both printers and the 4H club, Halloween, and of course, the 1960 Italian horror import, Black Sunday. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam and Katie discuss academic pomposity, disappointing reads, and—of course—1958’s Jimmy Stewart & Kim Novak vehicle, Bell, Book, and Candle. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which, guys, it’s Katie’s birthday and she’s celebrating in style. And by in style, we mean alone. And by alone, we mean she’s even making her own cake. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

...in which Katie and Sam finally (finally!) finish the John Waters season. Closing things out on a low note: A Dirty Shame. Katie gives us a (spoken) tour of her new 7-bedroom estate, Sam goes on a Hitchcock tangent, and both struggle to recall the events of this movie. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which we talk Pecker, struggle to understand how old Christina Ricci is supposed to be, and Katie shares the toughest secret she’s ever kept! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Katie and Sam watch the highly entertaining, Kathleen Turner-starring one-woman show, Serial Mom. Katie talks being robbed (and then hunting for clues with the chief of police), Sam sums up his NYC trip, and both revel in the unabashedly joyous materialism of Pretty Woman. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which we watch John Waters’ version of The Outsiders. We talk child prisons, Edith Massey, and look at some gross, gross movie tears. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam and Katie learn so many new (60’s? 80’s?) dances! We’re watching Hairspray, John Water’s most famous film. Katie eat wings, Sam can’t be along, and both pay their respects to Divine in this last performance. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam and Katie embark on their first Odorama film, 1981’s Polyester.

…in which Katie and Sam watch John Waters…in color! It’s 1972’s Female Trouble. We’ve got murder, we’ve got celebrity, Katie shares her Charles Manson connection, and more! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which (after a monthlong break involving a cross-country road trip) Sam and Katie reconvene to discuss John Waters. In the first episode of Season 8, they tackle his 1970 Multiple Maniacs, Waters’ second feature-length film. They discuss filming in backyard, papier-mâché lobsters, and the legacy of Avril Lavigne. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Katie and Sam hang onto this season for just One Last Dance…and pretty much regret it. Not the most graceful way to close out our Patrick Swayze season but still, we discuss life changes, whether these actors are too old to be modern dance stars, and how many montages is too many montages. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Sam and Katie betray their deep lack of drag-related cultural knowledge. We’re watching To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. (We don’t understand the comma placement, either.) Katie yearns for a UV lamp, Sam describes yet another bad job, and both share stories of accidentally texting the wrong people. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which we channel our inner stoner (or inner FBI agent) because we’re watching Point Break. From neo-nazis to a major ass-crack related plot point, this crazy Patrick-Swayze-Keanu-Reeves vehicle has everything. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which Katie and Sam are in danger, girl! They’re discussing Ghost and have many questions but few answers. Sam discusses nearly evading detention in his 20’s and Katie discusses the politics of dog parks, both hate Carl. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support

…in which we take on the Walker family classic, “Road House”. Katie and Sam discuss children in plays, dead body disposal, and, of course, Patrick Swayze’s oiled-up body. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-obsession-digression/support
