🎬 Borderline: Love, Delusion, and a Dash of Restraining Order
About this episode
This week, we watched Borderline, the chaotic, genre-defying directorial debut from Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden, because when you’ve written a movie about a bear on blow, where else do you go but into the mind of a lovesick sociopath?
Ray Nicholson (yes, his last name is what you think it is) stars as Paul, a guy so obsessed with pop star Sofia (Samara Weaving) that he thinks stalking her is a meet-cute. Charming, right?
This movie is wild, part rom-com, part thriller, part fever dream, with some sneaky humor tucked into the madness. But is it brilliant, or just a cinematic cry for help? We’re divided on this one.
Stream it? Skip it? Just Google the trailer and move on? We break it all down so you don’t have to spiral into your own delusional love story.
