Longtime collaborator
is back for another one. Since we just came off recording a Digression Session on Ari Aster’s current release, Eddington, we convened a follow-up to discuss Aster’s 2019 film, Midsommar. As is our wont, we amble off-topic to discuss items like snake-handling, the Trump-Era Drag Bubble, and the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. We talk current things but also past and future ones. As per usual, we get into the kinds of material that get you shot after the paywall.Topics discussed:
The anti-boyfriend moment
A halo of kevlar
Girls with city in bio
The Otto Warmbier and Brittney Griner school of Global Engagement
Is Midsommar a documentary?
Is Midsommar a retelling of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Hippies are the bad guys
The assassination of Charlie Kirk
