Possession (1981) - Andrzej Zulawski

Welcome to *Making Me Watch Movies*, the podcast where we force each other to endure films we’d never pick ourselves—and then argue about whether it was genius or just plain traumatizing. And oh boy, does today’s pick deliver on the trauma.  

This week, we’re wrestling with Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 nightmare fuel, *Possession*—a film so batshit it was banned as a ‘video nasty,’ features Isabelle Adjani screaming her way into horror history, and includes… whatever *that thing* in the apartment is. Is it a metaphor for divorce? A Cold War allegory? Or did the director just hate his audience? One thing’s certain: we’ll never look at raw meat, subway tunnels, or marriage the same way again.  

So grab a stiff drink (you’ll need it), and join us as we try to unpack this unhinged cult classic. Spoiler alert: someone on this podcast is *not* getting off the couch without an apology."
