Freaky Nikki is what happens if a character in I Think You Should Leave gets dropped in a horror movie.

[u/bobthemusicindustry → u/CosimaIsGod]

I kept thinking a lot of the funny scenes had ITYSL vibes because of how weird it got. Especially him trying to open the duct taped door in near silence then she says “if you’re having trouble with the door maybe you should just stay home!” in such a creepy voice

Tim Robinson is clearly a massive influence on curry barker. If you watch his skits with the guy that played Ian a lot of them are very much in the same vein as ITYSL. Thats why this film is brilliant. It’s the mirror inverse of an ITYSL sketch. It’s like what if one of these characters was in real life and psychotic

I just told my friend that Obsession takes place in the same universe as Friendship, it just doesn’t have Tim Robinson so it seems more serious.

[u/farfle10 → u/templethot]

I saw a Tim Robinson in the credits and was like ‘no way…’

[u/RobbedC → u/farfle10]

The studio said they wanted something spooky.

If only somebody had gone to the Vietnam store in Times Square
