Your hosts Rod and Ben are joined by Shane and new guest Haley for some article discussion (Best Performances of the Century So Far), recent watches breakdowns and news!

Episode 96: Eddington This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang rides into the dust and disinformation of Ari Aster's 2025 neo-Western Eddington. Set during the upheaval of 2020, the film pits Joaquin Phoenix's stoic, conspiracy-prone sheriff Joe Cross against Pedro Pascal's pragmatic mayor Ted Garcia in a small New Mexico town splintered by mask mandates, social media warfare, and secrets. Craig sounds the warning in Producer's Notes (9:59), rallying the posse to get ready; Alain draws the map of conflict in the Beauclair Synopsis (20:57), threading the political grievance, personal betrayal, and escalating paranoia. Chris then steps into Philosopher's Corner (41:16), tuning into the film's narrative pulse. At The Round Table (54:36), the gang debates whether Eddington mirrors our fractured moment or indulges in fever dreams, before Reviews (1:28:46) and Mailbag (1:37:54) bring listener dispatches from the divide. As always, we tackle the philosophical and non-philosophical standoffs within, as every showdown leaves a mark.

In this episode of the Superstructure podcast, Scott Ferguson is joined by independent film scholar Jonathan Haynes to discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed new film, One Battle After Another. The conversation centers on the film's contribution to popular political cinema under the authoritarian violence of the second Trump administration. Scott and Jonathan affirm One Battle's unapologetically leftist perspective as a breath of fresh air within a current political climate of despair–a feeling emblematized by films such as Ari Aster's Eddington. Specifically, the episode examines how One Battle, which draws loose inspiration from Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, deliberately removes specific historical markers to place the story in an ambiguous present of ongoing revolution and counter-revolution. The hosts evaluate One Battle's controversial representation of leftist violence, highlighting the film's focus on countervailing infrastructures in addition to punctuated actions. They also speculate about the meaning of the film's rich aesthetic choices, including the mobile telephoto lenses that transform a conventional car chase into a dizzying allegory of an American culture unclear about its driving motivations and aims. Finally, Scott and Jonathan consider the complex, racialized eroticism between the revolutionary mother and the white-supremacist commander (played by Teyana Taylor and Sean Penn), which gives rise to the central character, Willa (Chase Infinity). Willa, they argue, embodies the entangled, embattled, and yet still hopeful left politics that the film ultimately celebrates.Music: “Yum” from “This Would Be Funny If It Were Happening to Anyone but Me” EP by flirting.flirtingfullstop.bandcamp.com/Twitter: @actualflirting

This video explores the fascinating figure of Paimon, one of the most prominent kings of the Goetia, tracing his journey from early modern demonological catalogues to his reinvention in contemporary occultism and popular culture. We will examine how his image shifts across grimoires, from Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum to the Ars Goetia, and how his regal yet ambiguous traits became symbols of hidden wisdom, exotic authority, and intellectual mastery. The talk also considers Aleister Crowley's psychological reinterpretation, the adaptations within Left-Hand Path traditions, and the transformation of Paimon into a mentor-like figure in modern demonolatry. Finally, we look at his unexpected entry into mainstream media through Ari Aster's Hereditary and his reimagining in gaming and internet culture. Paimon's enduring appeal lies not in stability but in continual reinvention, making him a key case study in the dynamics of Western esotericism.CONNECT & SUPPORT

【聊了什么】 本期节目，我们与播客疲惫娇娃的主播们，聊了Ari Aster的最新电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington)——一部让人看完想骂街，但又忍不住要深度分析的作品。这位以《仲夏夜惊魂》和《遗传厄运》闻名的导演，这次把镜头对准了2020年5月疫情初期的美国小镇，用西部片的外壳包装了一个关于社交媒体如何撕裂社群的恐怖故事。Joaquin Phoenix饰演的老派警长Joe Cross和Pedro Pascal饰演的自由派市长在这个巴掌大的新墨西哥小镇展开政治对决，而真正的赢家却是那个从头到尾都面目模糊的科技巨头——他们要在这里建数据中心。我们从这部极具争议性的电影聊开去，探讨了BLM运动的社交媒体化、取消文化的游戏规则、以及阴谋论如何在小镇邻里间传播。最终发现，当所有人都在网上吵成一团的时候，真正的危机——AI和大科技公司——已经悄悄占领了现实世界。 本期节目录制于2025年9月7日。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:12 - Vibe Shift：从Covid到现在的时代精神转向 03:44 - Ari Aster这一次拍了个什么片？ 07:57 - 小镇警长和自由派精英的对决导演拉偏架了吗？ 16:57 - BLM运动的社交媒体化和"good trouble"的商品化 23:34 - 社交媒体游戏规则如何让所有人"吃相难看" 35:36 - 创伤如何成为舆论场的货币 40:07 - 小蓝的"假新闻田野调查" 46:31 - 电影结局的虚无主义倾向 49:31 - "SolidGoldMagikarp"彩蛋 53:30 - AI数据中心对美国小镇的真实影响 59:24 - 艺术家有权创作"残忍"艺术吗？ 1:11:12 - 爱丁顿里的真实社会议题 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 小华：媒体人 小杨：疲惫娇娃主播 一芳：疲惫娇娃主播 小蓝：新新人类主播 主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【 What We Talked About】 This episode we dove into Ari Aster's latest film "Eddington"—a movie that'll make you want to throw things at the screen, but also can't stop you from obsessively analyzing every frame. The director behind "Midsommar" and "Hereditary" sets his sights on a fictional small American town during the early pandemic chaos of May 2020, wrapping a horror story about social media tearing communities apart in Western film genre. Joaquin Phoenix's old-school sheriff Joe Cross goes head-to-head with Pedro Pascal's liberal mayor in this tiny New Mexico town, while the real winner turns out to be the faceless tech giant that's been planning to build a data center there all along. We used this deeply polarizing film to unpack everything from how BLM got weaponized on social media, to the toxic rules of cancel culture, to how conspiracy theories spread like wildfire through small-town neighbor networks. The ending is both alarming and defeatist: while everyone was busy fighting online, the real crisis—AI and Big Tech—had already quietly taken over. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:12 - Vibe Shift: Zeitgeist transformation from pandemic to now 03:44 - Film plot overview: Political showdown in a New Mexico town 07:57 - Did Ari Aster put his thumb on the scale in the fight between the sheriff and the mayor 16:57 - The social media-ization of BLM and commodification of "good trouble" 23:34 - How social media rules make everyone look bad 35:36 - How trauma becomes currency in the discourse 40:07 - Xiao Lan's "fake news field research" 46:31 - The film's nihilistic ending 49:31 - "SolidGoldMagikarp" Easter egg 52:18 - Real impact of AI data centers on American small towns 59:24 - Do artists have the right to create "cruel" art? 1:11:12 - Real social issues plaiguing today's America in "Eddington" 【Who We Are】 The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

Eddington Divisive, challenging, disquieting; all adjectives that have been placed upon Ari Aster's previous works Hereditary, Midsommar and Beau is Afraid. It's good then that his latest work Eddington continues to encompass these and many more adjectives in its two and half hour running time. Like every film at the moment is stars Pedro Pascal, but unlike every film it also stars Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. A tale of misinformation and miscommunication set in the height of the pre-vaccinated pandemic; It's not going to be for everyone. And in fact it was even for all of us. But it's got a LOT to be unpacked and discussed. Dion, Jill and Quinny are all in for this one, and honestly none of them are sure who is who in this messy narrative.

Cuando el mundo recién enfrentaba la pandemia por Covid-19, el alcalde y el sheriff de un pequeño pueblo se enfrentan por las medidas de protección y la libertad personal de los ciudadanos. El nuevo largometraje de Ari Aster ("Midsommar", "Hereditary") mezcla el Western, el drama, la comedia y el thriller para ofrecer una historia que mira de cerca al Estados Unidos actual. Joaquin Phoenix y Pedro Pascal dan vida a los protagonistas del film, con un gran reparto en el que también aparecen Emma Stone y Austin Butler. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

Jamie is joined by Tom Sexton and Tarence Ray of the Trillbilly Workers Party podcast to talk about Ari Aster's polarizing new film, Eddington. Set in a fictional southwestern town in 2020, the Hereditary director's latest offering has a lot going on: Joaquin Phoenix as MAGA sheriff, Pedro Pascal as neolib mayor, Emma Stone as goth girlfriend, and Austin Butler as cult leader. Also: hysterical SJWs, noisy 'splosions, and a high noon showdown set to Katy Perry. Is it a timely critique of the monsters people create in their minds, or lib-brained 'both sides' slop? Jamie and her esteemed guests discuss.

Ari Aster se convirtió en un referente de lo que llaman terror elevado con 'Hereditary' y 'Midsommar', y ahora se pasa al wéstern moderno con 'Eddington', su particular mirada a la América de hoy, sumida en la violencia, el negacionismo y el populismo. Es una de las películas de la semana junto a 'El Cautivo', la mirada de Alejandro Amenábar a uno de los episodios clave de la vida de Miguel de Cervantes. Además tenemos documentales, el debut de Sara Fantova y, también, nuevas series que recomendar

Min 5: "EL CAUTIVO" Alejandro Amenábar regresa con El Cautivo, protagonizada por Julio Peña como Miguel de Cervantes, junto a Alessandro Borghi (Hasán Bajá), Miguel Rellán, Fernando Tejero y José Manuel Poga, entre otros. La película cuenta la historia de Cervantes atrapado en Argel, no solo como rehén, sino también prisionero de sus miedos y culpas. Con música del propio Amenábar y una atmósfera oscura y tensa, se convierte en un thriller íntimo con drama histórico. El director de "Tésis" se ha colocado en el centro del debate antes del estreno al plantear en su nueva película una posible relación homoerótica entre Miguel de Cervantes y su captor, Hasán Bajá, una hipótesis que se fundamenta en algunos detalles que aparece en diversos ensayos históricos. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 22: " EDDINGTON" En Eddington, Ari Aster abandona momentáneamente los códigos puros del terror para adentrarse en una sátira política feroz, ambientada en mayo de 2020, durante la pandemia de COVID-19, en un pueblo ficticio de Nuevo México. El relato gira en torno al sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), que se opone a las medidas de salud pública del alcalde Ted García (Pedro Pascal), y decide enfrentarlo presentándose como candidato, mientras la comunidad se fragmenta entre teorías de conspiración, fake news, miedo, polarización política y resentimientos sociales. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2 estrellas Min 28: SIGUE MI VOZ Sigue mi voz, adaptación de la novela de Ariana Godoy, nos presenta a Klara (Berta Castañé), una joven que tras una crisis de salud permanece recluida en casa durante 76 días, y halla refugio en su programa de radio favorito, Sigue Mi Voz. Al escuchar la voz del locutor Kang (interpretado por Jae Woo Yang), se plantea si es posible enamorarse de alguien que solo ha oído por la radio —un vínculo emocional a distancia que la impulsará a confrontar sus miedos, salir al mundo y redescubrirse. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 32: LA LEY DE JENNY PEN La ley de Jenny Pen (The Rule of Jenny Pen), dirigida por James Ashcroft, es un thriller psicológico de terror proveniente de Nueva Zelanda que explora lo más oscuro de la vejez, el poder y la indefensión. El film presenta a Geoffrey Rush como el severo juez Stefan Mortensen, obligado tras un derrame cerebral a trasladarse a una residencia de ancianos, y a John Lithgow como Dave Crealy, un interno perturbado que, con ayuda de una muñeca llamada Jenny Pen, impone un juego sádico de sumisión y terror sobre los demás residentes. Juntos con un compañero de habitación (un exdeportista), Mortensen decide rebelarse cuando una muerte ignorada revela hasta dónde llega el silencio cómplice del personal. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 4 estrellas Min 43: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON PATXI MADINABEITIA En esta nueva temporada recuperamos la sección de La película de tu vida, hoy con una de las voces más reflexivas, asentadas y reconocibles de los informativos de Radio CLM. El periodista, bilbaíno de nacimiento y toledano de adopción, nos sorprende con la lista de títulos que pudieron ser y no fueron y con una apuesta que se va a salir de los cánones de la sección. Min 47: BSO EXPEDIENTE WARREN 4: EL ÚLTIMO RITO La música de Expediente Warren: El último rito, compuesta por Benjamin Wallfisch, se alza como uno de los pilares más sólidos de esta cuarta entrega de la saga. Wallfisch logra capturar la atmósfera sobrenatural esperada, recurriendo tanto a disonancias y susurros inquietantes como a crescendos tensos que acompañan los sustos y los momentos de máxima tensión. cineycine.com La partitura funciona como un homenaje velado al estilo de Joseph Bishara —compositor habitual de la franquicia— manteniendo la continuidad sonora con las entregas previas, pero sin quedarse en una mera copia.

Most film and TV has quietly agreed to pretend that the Covid pandemic never happened. Perhaps it's too awkward to discuss it. Perhaps it'll date your work. Writer-director Ari Aster doesn't share these worries, telling a story about the days of lockdowns, mask mandates and conspiracy theories - days of particular hostility and division in the USA, in which individual freedom does constant battle with the greater good. Eddington is an ambitious attempt at the state-of-the-nation film: a darkly comic thriller with wild tonal shifts, a mass of interwoven themes, uneven pacing, and an eventual climb out of reality into absurdity. José finds much to dislike, particularly its dismissive attitude towards the young people it depicts supporting the Black Lives Matter movement; Mike is surprised at how much he likes it, given how let down he felt by Hereditary. Eddington is certainly a mixed bag, but we're glad to have seen it. Recorded on 24th August 2025.

Continuing their episode cycle discussing films related to "Audience Interrogation", Emilio, Julian and Madeline strap on their masks, observe social distancing guidelines, and harken back to the recent past with 'Eddington', Ari Aster's darkly comedic Neo-Western and one of 2025's more polarizing and thought-provoking releases.  In true lockdown fashion, the cohosts are joined by virtual guest Mariquita Reese, a top-shelf cinema fangirl and cohost of Post Film Clarity, to dig into the film and how it made them feel.  The group shares their 2020 experiences and the aspects of that time the film captured, how 'Eddington' compares to other recent films that address Covid and quarantine, the performative nature of almost every character, the biggest (uncomfortable) laughs the film elicited, the unsettling fate of Michael, what to make of the film's violent third act, what other movies 'Eddington' reminds them of and why, and much more!Follow Mariquita on IG, Tik Tok and Letterboxd at keeta_babe - and check out Post Film Clarity, her podcast with cohost Lindsey Strickland, at postfilmclaritypodIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. Ari Aster. 2025.

CW: Spoilers for Eddington and discussions of cinematic violence and sexual abuse.The film writer Del Winters joins me from Philadelphia for a deep dive into Ari Aster's contemporary Neo-Western/Comedy/Horror hybrid Eddington, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone.Set in a fictional small town in New Mexico during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Eddington depicts a showdown between the liberal mayor Ted Garcia (Pascal) who takes public health measures seriously and the town's conservative sheriff Joe Cross (Phoenix) who resents the mask mandates and warps an existing personal grudge against Garcia into a campaign to defeat him in the upcoming election, spewing internet-borne conspiracy theories that pit neighbour against neighbour in an escalating situation that may threaten the planned construction of a new data centre.Eddington has divided audiences along political lines, mirroring what the film has to say about how the pandemic exacerbated already existing problems in how we communicate with each other, how online communities have people now preferring to live in their own realities that reinforce their own beliefs, and the shadowy corporations that shape these divides through the use of technology and social media towards their own purposes.Del and I discuss how Eddington has been mistaken by some as an “equal opportunity satire" or one with a centrist or even MAGA agenda, the skill in which Aster blends various genres of filmmaking and how it moves from reality to hyperreality, and our responses to some of the most provocative ideas Aster puts forward in this pitch-black satire about modern, broken America.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Our latest guest on soundtracking is Ari Aster, writer and director of Eddington. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone, it tells the story of a standoff between the mayor and sheriff of Eddington during Covid, which quickly escalates into all manner of chaos as battle lines are drawn. Eddington is scored by Daniel Pemberton and Bobby Krilic, and we'll hear plenty of their music throughout the conversation.

We're selling out ONCE AGAIN with Ari Aster's controversial neo-western thriller black comedy EDDINGTON, starring Joaquin Phoenix as sheriff Joe Cross, who runs for mayor against Pedro Pascal's Ted Garcia in a small New Mexico town during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Welcome to Eddington – population: all of us. The new film from writer-director Ari Aster transports audiences to a town on the brink of combustion that, in a way, we've all been residents of for five years now. Look out your window right now and there may not be a New Mexico mountain range hugging the horizon like in the Eddington of Aster's movie. But chances are you've absolutely felt it in the air – the same dread, the same fury, the same entropy and exhaustion that pollutes that dustbowl town.May 2020 – when Eddington takes place – was a time of neighbours split into culture war factions, with a steady hum of social media misinformation fueling their paranoid obsessions. We were already tipping towards that new age of civic hostility before the pandemic, mask mandates and the death of George Floyd, the auteur will tell you. But that year saw us cross a precipice that we've yet to turn back towards. Maybe we're unable to.Which is what makes Eddington – Ari's fourth film, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone – feel so vital and yes, so scary. The filmmaker's first two features, Hereditary and Midsommar, saw him heralded as the new king of horror. It took his first film set in the real world – his first movie with nothing supernatural or occult-themed about it – to deliver arguably his most terrifying scares. His previous films, 2023's Beau Is Afraid included, were nightmares his audiences were allowed to wake up from. Can you really say the same, stepping out of the cinema after seeing Eddington?Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this episode, hosts Joshua Conkel and Drusilla Adeline discuss their recent experiences in the horror film community, including screenings, coffee shops, and the transition into the spooky season. They review the film 'Together' and explore the evolution of horror films, particularly focusing on the works of Ari Aster. The conversation shifts to 90s comedies such as 'Dave' and their political commentary, leading to a detailed review of the classic horror film 'Tombs of the Blind Dead.' In this conversation, Drusilla and Joshua delve into the themes of relationships, horror aesthetics, and cultural influences in the film 'Tombs of the Blind Dead.' They explore the complexities of sapphic desire, the irrational decisions made in moments of emotional turmoil, and the eerie atmosphere created by the film's unique portrayal of zombies. The discussion also touches on the film's narrative structure, comparing it to classic horror tropes, and reflects on the cultural significance of horror films in Spain.NEXT WEEK: Mario Bava's SHOCKBloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

The ladies discuss NYT Magazine's latest contribution to dating discourse, "The Trouble with Wanting Men," and review Ari Aster's new movie, Eddington.

As one of the members of the last generation who grew up without the internet, Ari Aster's movies all deal with the ways our minds are shaped and influenced by forces outside of ourselves. Ari talks with Marc about how he uses the genre trappings of horror, farcical comedy and the American Western to explore themes of trauma, nostalgia, anxiety and humanity in his films Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau is Afraid and his latest one, Eddington. They also talk about his poet mom, his jazz drummer dad, and why Albert Brooks is one of his biggest influences. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
