Obsession Review: A Relatable Horror Story About Wanting What You Can’t Have

  by Paul Perez I finally got around to seeing  Obsession , the indie horror film that has been generating a lot of buzz since its festival run, and I can see why audiences and critics have responded so positively to it. After hearing so much about it, I went into the movie with fairly high expectations, and thankfully, it delivered.   Overall, I’d give  Obsession  an  8 out of 10 .   What surprised me most wasn’t the horror elements. It was how relatable the story felt. A Horror Movie Built on a Very Human Emotion At its core,  Obsession  is about wanting someone who doesn’t want you back.   The story follows a young man who wishes for a girl he likes to fall in love with him. It’s a simple premise, but the movie takes that fantasy and explores the consequences in ways that are funny, uncomfortable, emotional, and occasionally creepy.   As a guy, I found the main character surprisingly relatable. He’s not a traditional hero. He str...

James Clear's Atomic Habits Book-My Biggest Takeaways

    Listen to the podcast here       Why Your Habits Keep Failing (And How to Finally Change Them for Good) If you’ve ever tried to build a new habit—working out, eating better, waking up earlier, quitting a bad habit—and failed more times than you can count, the problem might not be motivation. It might be understanding. One of the biggest takeaways from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear is this: Your habits don’t fail because you’re lazy. They fail because your brain hasn’t been trained long enough to accept the new behavior. Once you understand that, everything about self-improvement becomes more realistic—and a lot less frustrating. Your Brain Isn’t Working Against You—It’s Working on Repetition When you try to change a habit, it often feels like an internal battle. You want to improve, but something keeps pulling you back into old routines. That’s not a character flaw. That’s your brain doing what it’s designed to do: conserve energy and stick with what...

The Mandalorian and Grogu Review: A Fun Summer Adventure That Remembers What Star Wars Does Best-MOVIE REVIEW

  The Mandalorian and Grogu Review: A Fun Summer Adventure That Remembers What Star Wars Does Best By Paul Perez & Jason Geller    This Memorial Day weekend, my friend Jason and I headed to AMC Times Square to check out  The Mandalorian and Grogu , the latest big-screen adventure from a galaxy far, far away.   The good news? We both walked out smiling.   While our scores differed slightly—Jason gave it an  8.2/10,  and I landed at a  7.5/10 —we agreed on the most important thing: this movie is a fun adventure that's great for audiences of all ages.     I got this poster at the same theater where I saw the The Mandorian and Grogu.  Except I got it when i went to see a totally different movie.   A Return to Classic Adventure Storytelling One of the first things that stood out to both of us was how much the movie felt like a classic adventure film.   For me, it brought to mind movies like  Indiana Jones  an...

How to Pack More Fun Into Your Weekend Without Sacrificing Your Whole Day

  Check out this episode! Sometimes the best weekends aren’t about doing one thing for eight hours straight. They’re about getting just enough of the experiences you love and combining them into a day you’ll actually remember. That’s exactly what happened for me over Memorial Day Weekend 2026 when I split my Sunday between a major wrestling event and a dance party later that night. The experience reminded me that you don’t always have to choose between your interests—you can often fit more of them into your life than you think. You Don’t Have to Stay for the Entire Event to Enjoy It One lesson I’ve learned from attending wrestling shows over the years is that every event doesn’t have to be an all-day commitment. I attended AEW Double or Nothing at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, next to Citi Field. Rather than arriving at the beginning and staying until the very end, I showed up later and caught several matches that I was interested in. For me, wrestling events have be...
