Podcasts about midsommar

Things get creepy on the BSG podcast when four unreliable female narrators come together to discuss the Netflix adaptation of The Woman in Cabin 10, based on the thriller by Ruth Ware. This week, Tirzah Price, author of In Want of a Suspect and the upcoming A Matter of Murder, joins the squad aboard our lavish yacht. Tune in as we tackle important questions like: Why is this woman so tired? Why did the movie switch up the story so much? And most importantly, how the heck did Lo Blacklock get herself in this situation yet again in the sequel? If you watch The Woman in Cabin 10, starring Keira Knightly holding an iPhone for the first time in her life, make sure to write in and let us know your thoughts! And tune in next time (Oct 28) as we discuss Katabasis by RF Kuang! And on Nov 11, Tatiana Schlote-Bonne joins us to discuss Midsommar and her novel The Mean Ones!

Send us a textOn this week's Thursday episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli discuss some horror staples—Paranormal Activity, Sinister, Hereditary, Midsommar—and how a single song can haunt you long after the credits. Cheli revisits her recurring “dream man,” an older figure who appeared in childhood dreams to debrief morals after bizarre scenarios (Scooby-Doo included) before declaring one final visit in high school—guardian angel or just the psyche at work?

And…we're back! Did you miss us? You can say so—it's OK. Yes, it's the return of Vintage Sand, your film history podcast, with our first episode since May. It was a frantic and wonderful summer, but now the leaves are falling and it's time for us to get back to what we love to do, with a double episode no less than 25 years in the making. That's right, fellow film fanatics; it's Vintage Sand's Top Ten Films of the 21st Century (So Far). And once again, a major cultural institution has stolen our ideas! When last we three met in May, we had decided to do these episodes. But fate intervened and delayed us, and, sure enough, when we opened up the “New York Times” in mid-July, there was their best of the century list so far. This has happened to us far too often to be coincidence—anyone know any good intellectual property lawyers out there? And that “Times” list was truly interesting in several ways. First of all, we much preferred the fan's list of the Top 100 (to my great pleasure it included “La La Land”, “Blade Runner 2049”, “Sinners” and “Midsommar”). But, in what was perhaps a bit of quiet backlash to the 2022 “Sight & Sound” Poll, there were only a handful of directors of color, and fewer female directors than one might have expected. On the other hand, the clear “winner” of the Times poll was Christopher Nolan, the only director with five films on the list (the Coens, PTA, Alfonso Cuarón each had four). Nolan is the Hitchcock of our times, in the sense that he is one of those rare directors who both receives critical acclaim and puts asses in the seats. Now if he would only put those blaring soundtracks a little lower in the audio mix so that older, cranky audience members such as us have a shot at hearing the dialogue… Ultimately, the work we put into creating these lists revealed a surprising and heartening result. From long before the time we started Vintage Sand back in 2018, all we've heard is doom and gloom about the state of cinema this century. “Film is dead” because folks are watching on their phones, or because of the algorithm, or because of streaming, or because of the emphasis on the global film marketplace over the domestic, or because our attention spans have vaporized, and on and on. Not that those are not real issues, but the death of film has been continuously reported since sound arrived roughly a century ago. And let me tell you, dear and faithful listeners: we had an incredibly difficult time narrowing down our respective lists to 25, let alone 10. We were overwhelmed with the number of creative, innovative, and moving films we had to choose from, films that will stand the test of time as well as any you could mention from the imagined “Golden Ages” of film. So our message, in the end, is one of optimism. Film is still a vital and glorious art form, and while you may have to dig around a bit more than you used to to find the greatness, it is clearly there. Enjoy these two episodes, and join us in facing the future of film with anticipation, excitement and joy.

The Out Now with Aaron and Abe horror specials are back for 2025, and the guys are kicking things off by looking at horror flicks focused on major scope, sizable ideas, and anything they'd consider epic. The Brandon Peters Show's Brandon Peters joins Aaron and Abe to go over their picks for films they think properly represent horror epics. Listen in to enjoy hearing about how they define an epic, only to go through several films each, with differing forms of logic as to how they arrived at placing them under this specific category. It's all in good fun and features plenty of references to even more films, horror trivia, and the occasional tangent.

【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. Synopsis During the COVID-19 pandemic, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbour is pitted against neighbour in Eddington, N.M. https://youtu.be/F09HnJHQIdk A huge thank you to all the Mask mandate loving Pro-Vax badass types who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you passionate protestors of the wwoke way of life who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

【聊了什么The What】 这期节目我们聊了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。 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.

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.

**REPOST** On this week's annotated deep dive, The Cultists Present Ari Aster's ‘Midsommar' (2019).   The horror genre has long been a place of shadows. And yet, what happens when those horrors are brought into direct light? Can grief, heartbreak, graduate thesis work, and human sacrifice all still thrive under the warm glowing rays of the midnight sun? Aster's sophomore film sets forth to find out.  As such, The Cultists welcome in the encroaching autumn with a scenic tour through the incredible landscape of Aster's reimagined lore-laden fairy tale. (Because nothing says “summer” like downing home grown psychedelics in the warm lit sunshine with a folksy Swedish death cult.)(Topics include: allusions and inspirations from Swedish folk artists (John Bauer to Hilma af Klint); the challenge of filming outdoors; and so much Nordic folklore (Ättestupa, the old “blood eagle,” runes, beserkers, and more!) Episode Safeword: “metropolitan” (REPOSTED Episode from 2020 that traveled over from the old Anchor platform with a broken link).

Today: full podcast festival breakdown. I start with the biggest premieres at Venice and Telluride — winners, surprises, and which films actually left me excited. Then I roll into my Oscar power rankings (who's rising, who's slipping), followed by my 25 most anticipated films for the next 12 months — the ones I'm betting will matter.After that I do a short Physical Media Corner where I show recent blu-ray pickups (including some great A24 releases and collectors editions including Midsommar). Finally, I close with a 50th anniversary review of JAWS - a superb movie!

Alright, I'm gonna Level with you. This movie deserves so much more attention than it got! For all the Midsommar, Get Out, and The Menu vibes, press play now!Join Jason and Dusty this week as they Dive into the soon-to-be-cult-classic, Opus (2025) from writer/director Mark Anthony Green! This one gives off all the wrong energy in all the right ways, including an intimate appetizer, interpersonal hygiene lessons, and a clam shucking session for the ages! Sound weird? GOOD! IT SHOULD! Because, at the end of the day, that's what this movie leaves you with, in spades.Honestly, we're really proud of this episode.

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.

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast. In episode 145 Sam is joined by filmmaker Ari Aster, director of Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid. His latest movie Eddington is in UK cinemas now. Ari has chosen Hukkle (78 mins). The 2002 Hungarian experimental film was written and directed by György Pálfi. The film has been recently restored and released on Blu-ray in the US by Vinegar Syndrome.  Sam and Ari discuss the joys of long and short runtimes, the innovative cross-cut edits in Hukkle and how the film has influenced Ari's own work.  Thank you for downloading.

En Eddington, su cuarta película, Ari Aster se mete en la madriguera de conejo de las teorías de la conspiración, las noticias falsas y las campañas políticas sucias. En el año 2020, el pleito entre el sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) y el alcalde (Pedro Pascal) de un pequeño pueblo de Nuevo México a propósito del uso del cubrebocas desencandena esta sátira de horror, en la cual la manipulación, la fragilidad emocional y la locura se mezclan con otros ingredientes explosivos. La reseña de Hereditary puede verse aquí y la reseña de Midsommar puede leerse aquí. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Eddington is a bold, fascinating, ambitious satire, but it's also the film that cements certain patterns within Ari Aster's way of telling stories. In this episode, we're creating a list of four ironclad ‘rules' that appear in each of his movies by revisiting Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid — before finally discussing Eddington. This is a celebration of recurring themes and conceptual escalation across one of the most exciting and restless filmographies of our time.

You might recognize director Ari Aster from his groundbreaking horror films like Hereditary and Midsommar. But Aster just dropped the scariest film of his career: Eddington, a dark COVID-19 comedy starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone, about social media-driven polarization, gun violence, and the looming tech takeover.Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Aster about the inspiration behind his all-too-prescient film. Did the coronavirus pandemic break our brains, leaving our communities with no commonly accepted set of facts? How do we navigate today's AI slop-driven informational hellscape?

If you're not sure what to make of gothic Midsommar clad The New Eves, keep listening. There's the poetic thud of The Velvet Underground and autodidactic brilliance of The Slights, but it's the wide-eyed willingness that makes their first release and debut album The New Eves is rising that makes this Brighton band something very very special. Sat on the seafront, we heard about how imaginative living situations and a myriad of side hustles is key to their existence, and how they might well be haunted by a scarab beetle emerged from Tutankhamun's tomb.

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.

It's officially late July, which means we're deep in the season of sticky popsicles, sunscreen battles, and the kind of sibling squabbles that make you rethink that “no screens before noon” rule. In this week's episode, we're pressing pause on the chaos to do a little mid-summer check-in.Is summer feeling more magical mischief or creepy cult vibes? (Looking at you, Midsommar's Florence Pugh.) Either way, now's a great time to ask:What's actually working for your family right now?What habits need a little tweak (or a full-on overhaul)?What does each person—yes, including you—need for the rest of the season?I'm sharing the small shift that helped calm our chaotic mornings, why “we'll see” days are going on our calendar, and how one family's digital detox brought unexpected peace (and fewer remote-control fights). Spoiler: No one's tossing devices in the ocean… but some might get gently tucked away in a box for a while.Whether your summer has been dreamy, messy, or a bit of both, this episode is your gentle reminder to reflect, recalibrate, and maybe even sneak in a beach read and a bagel run.Take a deep breath.

A week after Ari Aster's Eddington was released, the A24 Rocks crew has finally reached one of the most talk about A24 film's of all time: Midsommar starring Florence Pugh. These film reviewers discuss how it was made, its cult classic success, the graphicness of the movie, and what Ari Aster was really trying to say with Midsommar. As Aster himself said: its The Wizard of Oz for perverts. But is this more than just a sleek and fun horror film? Will it actually stand the test of time as we get further removed from it? Is it more style than substance? Comment below and join the discussion.

“I'm personally desperate for art that at least attempts to grapple with whatever the hell is going on right now,” the writer-director Ari Aster tells Adam Howard, a senior producer of the Radio Hour. “ ‘Eddington' is a film about a bunch of people who . . .  know that something's wrong. They just—nobody can agree on what that thing is.” Many of us would prefer to forget a fearful time like the spring and summer of 2020, but Aster is relentless about putting his characters and his audience in states of anxiety, whether in his horror films “Hereditary” and “Midsommar,” or in the more genre-bending “Beau Is Afraid.” “Eddington,” his latest, is a neo-noir Western featuring a gun-toting, libertarian sheriff, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who confronts COVID, the George Floyd protests, and a mysterious A.I. data center that's being built in his county.  It's like a hand grenade tossed into the traditional summer-movie season.  The film is unapologetically political, but its satire doesn't spare either side of the aisle. “My concern,” Aster admits, “is that I don't know how much of a hunger people have anymore for anything controversial or challenging.”

"Eddington" had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where it received mixed reviews for its story of the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, set during 2020, where a rivalry between Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) reaches a combustible state of political and social turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Director and writer, Ari Aster, the masterful filmmaker behind films such as "Hereditary," "Midsommar" and "Beau Is Afraid" is not unfamiliar with this kind of polarizing response to his provocative films and in fact, he welcomes the debate, discussion and reflection in hopes that his work will bring us closer together during a time where we're more divided than ever before. Aster and Academy Award-winning star Joaquin Phoenix were kind enough to speak with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters nationwide from A24. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Ari Aster, the filmmaker behind Hereditary and Midsommar, is out with a new movie today called Eddington. The new film is a modern Western placed in the height of lockdown during the 2020 pandemic, where the real villain is digital media. This week, Ben and Max bring on the writer and director to talk about why he decided to make a film set during Covid when the rest of Hollywood is running in the other direction, how his relationship with social media led to Eddington, and how researching for the film made him more empathetic to conspiracy theorists. Plus, Ari reveals which Marvel movie he turned down.
