About this episode
On the House of Pod, we usually talk health and science — but sometimes a movie says more about our mental health than any study. In the first installment of "Movies That Broke Men's Brains," Dr. Kaveh Hoda explores films that shaped (or misshaped) the male psyche. Today's subject: Obsession, the 2025 indie horror sensation that some call a takedown of incel logic and male entitlement — and others call deeply relatable. Where's the line between depicting toxic masculinity and endorsing it? And what happens when a movie's critique gets swallowed by the very culture it was critiquing? Featuring the inimitable Rax King and frequent HOP contributor, Dr. Jason Rosenbaum. Rate and Review on iTunes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
