Horror has always been a philosophical genre. From Frankenstein and Faustus to The Thing and The Exorcist, the scariest stories have always explored questions of identity, consciousness, death, and the afterlife. Curry Barker\u2019s Obsession is a proud addition to that canon. In this episode, we\u2019re doing an extraordinarily deep dive into the philosophy of the movie. Specifically, we\u2019re looking at the idea of the two Nikkis \u2014 the character as she was before Bear made his fateful wish, and whatever she became afterwards. We consider the relationship between Nikki and \u201cOther Nikki\u201d in terms of replacement and possession, with all sorts of clues and monkey wrenches from the text to make things difficult. Expect tangents about souls, teleportation, purgatory, Saw traps, and the off-screen but heavily implied One Wish Willow factory.
