Call it an obsession, but we’re back talking about erotic thrillers with “Undying Love” and a retro look at “Dance With Death”.
As always, we begin the show with some horror headlines.
We love a good mystery. Hercule Poirot, ensemble casts, television shows, we enjoy them all. Though its target audience has always skewed older, we are huge fans of Murder, She Wrote. Recent news of a movie has us excited, and we talk about who would make a great Jessica Fletcher.
The 2019 Hellboy remake was a critical and commercial disaster. Still, few were surprised another reboot was in the works. The latest version seems to be taking a more streamlined approach, but will audiences care?
Then, it’s on to our featured presentation and new movie spotlight.
Undying Love seemed like the perfect pick. It has a thumbnail reminiscent of something out of the 1990s, the plot follows a troubled youth being entangled with a beautiful vampire, and the word “erotic” constantly comes up in descriptions of the film. The fact that it came out in 2022 only made it that much more interesting.
We like to consider ourselves champions of indie film, so when this movie that was released in 2022 looked like something from a much earlier decade, it did not faze us.
As it turns out, Undying Love actually came out (originally) in 1991, though it looks like it was made in 1981. Even that would not be a problem. The acting, story, and characters, however…
For our second film, we reached back into the vault a bit.
Dance With Death came out in 1992 and looks like it.
With a cast that includes Martin Mull and Lisa Kudrow in her first credited screen role, the film certainly has star power. The story may be bare bones (a reporter goes undercover as a topless dancer to catch a killer), but there is plenty of intrigue and great characters.
It certainly does not skimp on the nudity, but there is much more to the movie than a bunch of naked women.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about We Kill for Love, one of the most interesting documentaries about cinema out there.

Episode 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
