I cannot stop talking about “Obsession” and “Backrooms.”

As a Senior Talent Booker and Producer at BuzzFeed, you can typically catch me flailing about the buzziest TV shows and movies.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, chances are you’ve heard of Obsession. This horror movie is breaking box office records as it continues to climb and become one of the biggest movies of 2026. Written and directed by Curry Barker (in his theatrical film debut), Obsession follows Bear (Michael Johnston), who buys a “One Wish Willow,” a supernatural toy that will grant him one wish. He uses it to wish that his friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette) would fall in love with him. What seems like a dream come true for him turns into a horrifying tale of consequences. 

Inde Navarrette, who I’ve loved since Superman & Lois, is a powerhouse in this. Seriously, she gives probably one of my favorite film performances of the year. The use of her voice and body to deliver a horror performance up there with Toni Collette in Hereditary and Florence Pugh in Midsommar is extraordinary. I highly recommend seeing this one in a theater because it’s the perfect movie theater movie. Seriously, people were actually screaming.

Alongside Obsession, this movie by first-time director Kane Parsons is also a surprise hit of 2026. It’s already become the highest-grossing A24 movie in the US. Parsons has turned his YouTube series into a cultural phenomenon film. Backrooms follows Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a furniture store owner, and Mary (Renate Reinsve), his therapist. One day, Clark stumbles across a dimension of seemingly endless liminal spaces that will change everything for them both.

A damn good psychological thriller, if I do say so myself. The use of found footage is when Backrooms really hits its stride, making it one of the best films of the year. Parsons's clear vision for the movie is outstanding, making Ejiofor and Reinsve’s great performances the icing on an already great cake. Like Obsession, I highly recommend seeing this in a packed theater. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m happy to report that Masters of the Universe has the exact same energy as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), which is the best thing fans of this franchise can hope for. Based on the Masters of the Universe franchise by Mattel, these beloved characters come to life in the second live-action adaptation following the 1987 film. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia, where he discovers his home has been shattered under the rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). Now, to save his family and world, Adam must join forces with Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.

Nicholas brings the humor to Adam/He-Man, which is one of the movie’s strengths. Plus, I mean, the action sequences are fun to watch, too. Honestly, like others, I left the theater thinking this is one of Jared Leto’s best roles, granted, it’s just his voice. At the end of the day, Masters of the Universe is a fun movie for the whole family that does a great job at introducing these characters to a new generation.
