Armageddon with Dakota Lustik
from Obsessed: A Podcast About Your Hyper-Fixations · host Nina Concepción and Katherine Bourne Taylor
Hello Obsessies!! This week’s episode is a little different than our usual. We’re joined by actor Dakota Lustick as he details his intense pandemic hyperfixation on a totally forgotten background astronaut in the 1998’s iconic piece of cinema, Armageddon. We dive deep into how his obsessive search for this ghost of a character led to a mind-blowing, real-life encounter on the streets of Hollywood, sparking a raw conversation about the heartbreaking realities of the entertainment industry and how our hyperfixations often mirror our own deepest fears. It’s definitely a different side to an “obsession” that we’ve discussed before, and we hope you enjoy.
