Obsessives: Soda Pop is a short documentary by Meredith Arthur, Eric Slatkin, and Blake Smith, created in 2009. It consists of an interview with John Nese, the owner of Galco's Soda Pop Stop, an older man with a bubbly personality just like the soda he sells. John enlightens us with insight into various soda-related topics, including whether or not there exists a good diet cola, how cane sugar tastes much better then corn sugar in cola, and a criticism of the California Refund Value (CRV) tax.

I think that this film did a great job educating the viewer about independent soda bottlers and John's store. It was presented in a very interesting format and I enjoyed the music that played at the beginning and end of the film. I did feel, however, that it was a bit long, and by the end of the documentary I was tired of John's constant laughing. Overall I would give this film a //8 / 10//.

Nice Job. Well written. 20/24
