Déjà Who’s Your Daddy: Obsession (1976)
Question: If a movie about doppelgängers is itself a doppelgänger of another movie about doppelgängers… uh… like… what’s up with that, huh? Our hosts will attempt to answer at least a version of that question as they voyeuristically peek into the world of Brian De Palma’s “Obsession”. This episode could prove extra confusing if you haven’t actually seen the movie given that: not only is it relatively obscure, its only reason to exist is as a comment on the 1958 Hitchcock masterwork Vertigo. So… you should really at least watch THAT movie before you listen. But whatever. Do what you want to do. It’s a pretty good episode if we do say so ourselves! Topics include: Veneta vs. Cornell ‘77, Game of Thrones, and Hollywood-gate.
