Movie Torture

Obsession (2026)

In this absolutely unhinged episode of Movie Torture, Brad Lowe breaks down the horror-thriller Obsession—a movie that starts as awkward crush energy and somehow spirals into cursed romance, dead cat sandwiches, demon-girlfriend behavior, and supernatural emotional damage. Brad hilariously walks through the story of Bear Bailey, a painfully awkward guy who uses a creepy magical item called the “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki fall in love with him… which immediately turns into the worst relationship in cinematic history. What follows is escalating chaos involving haunted Build-A-Bear vibes, pee puddles, self-stabbing party games, customer service for cursed objects, and one of the most disturbing lunch scenes ever put on screen. Throughout the episode, Brad delivers nonstop commentary and savage one-liners, comparing Bear to “the human version of typing and deleting a text for 45 minutes” while repeatedly questioning why horror movie characters keep buying obviously evil magical items. The recap somehow balances gross-out horror, emotional loneliness, absurd comedy, and relationship satire all at once. By the end, the episode becomes less about a horror movie and more about obsession, loneliness, and what happens when someone tries to force love instead of letting it happen naturally. Brad closes things out by warning listeners to avoid cursed romance driftwood, haunted relationships, and—most importantly—dead cat sandwiches.

Ready of Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

Brad breaks down a chaotic, over-the-top sequel where survivor Grace (Samara Weaving) goes from final girl to public enemy #1. After escaping the deadly game in the first movie, she’s immediately pulled back into an even bigger nightmare—this time facing a full council of elite, twisted families all competing to kill her for power. Teamed up (and handcuffed) with newcomer Faith (Katherine Newton), Grace is thrown into a brutal, rule-heavy death game that feels like rich people Hunger Games with zero logic and maximum insanity. Each family hunts differently, creating total chaos—like a group chat where no one agrees but everyone wants you dead. The movie escalates with wild kills, bizarre rules (break them and you literally explode), and a ridiculous “marriage loophole” where Grace can survive by marrying into one of the families. Instead, she fakes compliance and turns the tables—ending the entire system with nothing more than a pen. In the end, alliances collapse, the elites destroy themselves, and Grace doesn’t just survive—she wipes out the whole corrupt structure. Brad calls it bigger, crazier, and somehow better than the original, leaning fully into its madness.

Just Like Heaven (2005)

Brad revisits Just Like Heaven and breaks down a rom-com that asks one simple question: what if your roommate is a ghost… and also kind of the boss of you? The movie follows David (Mark Ruffalo), a sad, grieving guy just trying to reset his life, who moves into a new apartment—only to find Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon), a high-strung doctor, already “living” there… despite possibly not being alive. What starts as a bizarre roommate dispute quickly turns into a strange partnership as David realizes he’s the only one who can see her. Instead of doing the logical thing (leaving immediately), David sticks around—mostly because, as Brad points out, “she’s Reese Witherspoon.” The two go from arguing like a dysfunctional married couple to teaming up on a mission to uncover what happened to Elizabeth before it’s too late. Brad leans into the absurdity—calling out the wild decision-making (like casually living with a ghost), the awkward public conversations that make David look insane, and the ridiculous dynamic of being bossed around by someone who technically isn’t even on the lease. But underneath the chaos, he admits the movie has some charm, blending humor, emotion, and an unexpected love story. In the end, the mystery gets solved, Elizabeth comes back to life, and the film lands on its core message about connection—even if the journey there is weird.

The Rip (2026)

Brad kicks it off with, “I watched a movie…” and this one goes off the rails fast. A group of guys is living it up, celebrating, acting like family — and then a duffel bag full of cash drops into the middle of everything. That’s it. That’s the moment. The vibe is gone instantly. In this episode of Movie Torture, Brad breaks down how quickly things flip: * Friends turn into suspects * Conversations get awkward fast * Everyone starts thinking two steps ahead… or at least they think they are * And nobody trusts anybody Brad leans into the real tension of the movie — it’s not about stealing money, it’s about what happens after the money shows up. The paranoia, the quiet scheming, the side-eye moments where you realize the group isn’t a group anymore. He walks through the cast dynamics in his signature style: * Ben Affleck trying to hold the chaos together * Matt Damon making you question every move he makes * Alicia Vikander being the only one saying what everyone should be thinking Along the way, Brad goes on classic tangents about: * Why a duffel bag of money instantly destroys friendships * How everyone thinks they’re the smartest person in the room * And why situations like this never end the way people think they will The episode builds as Brad unpacks how small decisions turn into big problems, and how fast things spiral once trust is gone. By the time everything plays out, you’re left asking one question: Was it ever about the money… or was it always about what people were willing to do for it? Tune in for the full breakdown, the tangents, and the moments where Brad calls out exactly what everyone watching is thinking.

Freddy vs Jason (2003)

Brad opens with, “I watched a movie…” and this one immediately puts everyone in a situation that makes zero sense — if you fall asleep, you die… and if you don’t sleep, you lose your mind. In this episode of Movie Torture, Brad breaks down Freddy vs. Jason, a matchup that sounds legendary until you actually think about what it means for everyone involved. Because now you’ve got: * One killer who gets you in your dreams * One killer who gets you in real life * And absolutely no good option for survival Brad leans into the chaos right away — calling it less of a horror movie and more of a no-win scenario where the rules themselves are the problem. The moment you understand the setup, you realize nobody is coming out of this okay. He walks through the wild premise: * Freddy needs fear to exist again * So his solution is… bring Jason back to do the dirty work * Which sounds like a plan until you remember Jason doesn’t follow plans Brad goes in on that decision, breaking it down in his signature style — pointing out that hiring someone like Jason isn’t strategy, it’s chaos. Once he shows up, there’s no control, no boundaries, and no off switch. As the episode builds, Brad highlights: * The group of teens trying to outthink something you can’t outthink * The idea that “just don’t sleep” somehow becomes a real plan * And how quickly everything spirals once both threats are active Of course, the tangents hit: * Why staying awake is not a real strategy for survival * What sleep deprivation actually does to you * And how this might be one of the worst situations anyone could be dropped into The tension keeps rising as Brad unpacks the core problem: What do you do when every option leads to the same outcome? By the time it all collides, you’re not just watching a showdown — you’re watching a situation that was doomed from the start. Two unstoppable forces, zero control, and people stuck in the middle trying to figure out rules that don’t exist. Tune in for the full breakdown, the tangents, and Brad reacting to a movie that fully commits to putting everyone in the worst possible position.
