About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron dive into Obsessed (2009) — the glossy, PG-13 thriller that tried to channel Fatal Attraction but forgot to include the actual attraction. With Idris Elba playing the squeakiest-clean husband in movie history, Beyoncé maintaining moral perfection at every turn, and Ali Larter going full Lifetime-villain with zero explanation, it’s a film so neutered by studio notes it may as well have come with an abstinence pledge.
Grab your tequila, don’t forget to set the alarm, and join Ade and Aaron as they break down HR violations, temp agency chaos, and a finale that involves Beyoncé fighting in an attic for reasons no script rewrite could justify. Because if Obsessed taught us anything, it’s that removing every flaw from your lead characters leaves you with nothing but drywall — and one very ineffective cop.
