1. Rosé Prosecco, Childhood Trauma and Obsession (2026)

George Dunn — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:59:13 GMT

In the inaugural episode of Why Are You Making Me Watch This? George and his mum discuss the root of Jayne’s decades- long aversion to horror, the TV shows that recently eased her into the genre, and Curry Barker’s 2026 box office hit ‘Obsession,’ starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarette. They do so over the course of a bottle of rosé Prosecco, their liquid courage for the week.
