Obsession, Blue Heron

This week on the podcast, Jon Negroni and Will Ashton have a seat with Primetime, Lance Oppenheim’s unsettling narrative feature debut about To Catch a Predator's Chris Hansen. Robert Pattinson stars as a heavily fictionalized Hansen alongside Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Anna Faris, and an impressive ensemble. We discuss our own thoughts on the film and get into some of the critical and audience consensus building since its release this past weekend. And we finish off the show with a look ahead at some movies we hope to cover next.

Welcome back to Worlds Without Warning. This week, we’re reaching into the Cetera Magazine archive for “Rain Check” by Emily Brown, originally published May 21, 2026. Jon Negroni reads aloud the story of Marge, a woman ninety-two days sober whose carefully planned backpacking trip changes when her sponsor cancels at the last minute. Rather than stay home, Marge takes her permit, shoulders her pack, and heads into the wilderness alone, with a storm already moving toward the trail.

You can find the written version of this story right here.

About the Author

Emily Brown is a writer and poet based in Toronto. When she is not writing, she can usually be found walking by the lake, buying books she has no shelf space for, or making coffee she forgets to drink.

Rain Check – A Literary Short Story By Emily Brown

Welcome back to Worlds Without Warning. This week, Jon Negroni reads aloud “Carcinization” by Danielle Wilfand, which is a science fiction/speculative story about a chronically ill woman who travels 10,000 years into the future searching for the man she loves and discovers that everything has evolved into crabs. As she waits for him to find his way through time, however, this alien future begins to feel unexpectedly accommodating to a body that her own world increasingly treated as a problem.

You can find the written version of this story right here.

About the Author

Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Danielle Wilfand resides in Denver, Colorado where she is a first-year internal medicine resident at the University of Colorado. She enjoys writing about and examining her experience of living with chronic illness through different lenses.
