What’s the difference between casual fandom and a full blown obsession? To Brooke Averick, they’re one and the same. Each week, Brooke explores one of her deeply held obsessions. And she certainly has plenty of them. Sometimes, her friends will even stop by to share their own intense fandoms, too! From Harry Styles, to Broadway, to her dream of playing a corpse on “Criminal Minds” next to Matthew Gray Gubler, one thing is for sure: Brooke is obsessed. And honestly? So are we. This is the show for people who can’t like things a normal amount.
