My Hotter Half with Aminatou Sow
This week on I’m Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes co-host of Call Your Girlfriend and co-author of the forthcoming book Big Friendship Aminatou Sow (@aminatou) to talk about, among other things, her obsession with the ridiculous and addictive British competition show My Hotter Half! (Pronounced “My Hah-ah Hahf.“) “It’s very important to interrogate beauty ideals and how you feel about yourself relative to all the messaging you’re getting,” Sow says. “It’s definitely going to happen in a competition show.” But... that doesn’t mean we don’t love it anyway. She also explains why she loves Forensic Files, an extremely niche brand of sparkling water, and actress Aïssa Maïga. All episodes of My Hotter Half are now streaming on Netflix. Watch it! But never ask a couple which one they think is the hotter half. It will only lead to a bad time.

Diagnosis with Christine Friar
On this episode of I'm Obsessed With This, the podcast where we invite a new guest to share their current Netflix obsession every week, host Bobby Finger welcomes writer and I'm Obsessed With This producer Christine Friar (@christinefriar) to explain why she can't get enough of the Netflix original series Diagnosis, based on the NYT Magazine column of the same name. How is this show -- which centers on rare diseases/afflictions, their symptoms, and their treatment -- so comforting, and why might anxious people benefit from its presentation of medical crowdsourcing as, perhaps, one of the greatest things to have ever resulted from the internet? And, finally, why can't every doctor be like Dr. Lisa Sanders?! All episodes of Diagnosis are now streaming on Netflix.

On this week’s episode of I’m Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes comedy writer (currently for HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show) Lauren Ashley Smith (@msLAS) to discuss her latest obsession, Between Two Ferns: The Movie, which happens to be the new film adaptation of a previous obsession, Between Two Ferns. They chat about what made the movie so surprisingly delightful (hint: the runtime definitely didn't hurt), our collective thirst for movie quotability, and the current state of the comedy scene. They also play a very special game of Zach, Zack, or Zac. Between Two Ferns: The Movie is now streaming on Netflix!

Terrace House with Tobin Low
On this week’s episode of I’m Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes Tobin Low (@tobinlow), co-host and co-managing editor of Nancy, a podcast from WNYC Studios. Tobin spends the bulk of their chat trying to convince Bobby to watch his (and potentially your) Netflix obsession: the Japanese reality show Terrace House. He explains what it is about the show so special in the crowded field of reality television, and why exactly it makes viewers fell all of the best possible feelings. Find out if it worked, and we’ll see you next week with another episode!

Tall Girl with Ann Friedman
Today on I'm Obsessed With This, Bobby Finger talks to Call Your Girlfriend co-host and author of the forthcoming book Big Friendship, Ann Friedman (@annfriedman), who shares her expert opinion on the new Netflix original film, Tall Girl. As someone who has spent much of her life being the tallest person in the room, Friedman discusses her high school experience (which included "listening to Mazzy Star and Googling height reduction surgery"), reveals how often people comment on her height (Every. Single. Day), and plays a game about -- what else? -- tall girls. As always, avoid the episode if you wish to avoid spoilers. And watch Tall Girl now on Netflix!
