Podcasts about midsommar

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? And is it possible to avoid the twisted fate of Eddington, Aster's fictional New Mexico town?Get ad-free episodes, bonus content and extended interviews by becoming a member at levernews.com/join.To leave a tip for The Lever, click here.

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.

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. You're doing better than you think. And that's good enough. To get Carley's free video teaching you 4 play therapy techniques you can use TODAY to calm your emotional child and bring joy and freedom back to family life click here!http://www.paceparent.com/play And follow her @CarleyCounsels on FB & IG!

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.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Ancient Storms & Secret Stones: A Midsummer's Journey Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-07-23-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Solen sken starkt över skogen där Vilhelm och Astrid hade bestämt sig för att campa.En: The sun shone brightly over the forest where Vilhelm and Astrid had decided to camp.Sv: Det var Midsommar, och luften var fylld av doften av blommor och granbarr.En: It was Midsummer, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers and pine needles.Sv: De hade hört talas om de gamla stenristningarna djupt inne i skogen och bestämde sig för att utforska.En: They had heard about the ancient rock carvings deep in the forest and decided to explore.Sv: Vilhelm hade alltid varit fascinerad av arkeologi.En: Vilhelm had always been fascinated by archaeology.Sv: Han drömde om att hitta något betydelsefullt.En: He dreamed of finding something significant.Sv: "Kom igen, Astrid!En: "Come on, Astrid!Sv: Stenarna är inte långt härifrån", sa han entusiastiskt.En: The stones aren't far from here," he said enthusiastically.Sv: Astrid log men kände sig lite orolig.En: Astrid smiled but felt a little worried.Sv: Hon tyckte om lugnet i skogen och ville inte bli fångad i ett oväder.En: She liked the tranquility of the forest and didn't want to get caught in a storm.Sv: De vandrade djupt in bland de höga träden.En: They wandered deep among the tall trees.Sv: Under deras fötter låg mjuka mossmattor, och de kunde höra en och annan fågel kvittra i bakgrunden.En: Beneath their feet were soft mossy carpets, and they could hear an occasional bird chirping in the background.Sv: När de nådde de gamla ruinerna, blev Vilhelm överväldigad av nyfikenhet.En: When they reached the ancient ruins, Vilhelm was overwhelmed with curiosity.Sv: Stenarna var täckta av mossa men detaljerna i ristningarna var fortfarande synliga.En: The stones were covered in moss, but the details of the carvings were still visible.Sv: "Vilhelm, himlen ser inte bra ut", sa Astrid när hon blickade upp mot molnen som började samla sig.En: "Vilhelm, the sky doesn't look good," said Astrid as she glanced up at the clouds beginning to gather.Sv: "Vi borde sätta upp tältet innan det börjar regna."En: "We should set up the tent before it starts raining."Sv: Men Vilhelm var för uppslukad av stenarna för att lyssna.En: But Vilhelm was too absorbed in the stones to listen.Sv: "Jag måste utforska lite till", svarade han.En: "I need to explore a little more," he answered.Sv: Blixten lyste upp himlen och regnet började falla.En: Lightning lit up the sky, and the rain began to fall.Sv: Vilhelm fann äntligen något spännande – en liten, konstig artefakt inbäddad bland stenarna.En: Vilhelm finally found something exciting—a small, strange artifact embedded among the stones.Sv: "Astrid, titta på det här!"En: "Astrid, look at this!"Sv: ropade han, men Astrid drog honom bort i panik.En: he shouted, but Astrid pulled him away in a panic.Sv: Med regnet ösande ner sökte de skydd i en avskild del av ruinerna.En: With the rain pouring down, they sought shelter in a secluded part of the ruins.Sv: Där, i dunklet, upptäckte de en hemlig ristning.En: There, in the dim light, they discovered a secret carving.Sv: Den såg ut som en gammal kompass, nästan som om den visade en väg genom stormen.En: It looked like an ancient compass, almost as if it was showing a path through the storm.Sv: De satte sig tätt intill för att hålla värmen.En: They sat closely together to keep warm.Sv: Vilhelm insåg vikten av att lyssna på Astrid.En: Vilhelm realized the importance of listening to Astrid.Sv: "Förlåt, jag borde ha lyssnat", mumlade han.En: "Sorry, I should have listened," he mumbled.Sv: Astrid nickade och sa: "Jag förstår nu varför du tycker om detta.En: Astrid nodded and said, "I understand now why you love this.Sv: Det finns något magiskt i dessa gamla berättelser."En: There is something magical in these old stories."Sv: Stormen avtog långsamt och himlen klarnade upp igen.En: The storm slowly subsided, and the sky cleared up again.Sv: Vilhelm och Astrid kom överens om att både äventyret och tryggheten var viktiga.En: Vilhelm and Astrid agreed that both adventure and safety were important.Sv: Tillsammans hjälptes de åt att sätta upp tältet och torka sig vid brasan.En: Together, they helped each other set up the tent and dry off by the fire.Sv: När mörkret föll, satt de tillsammans och tittade på de stjärnklara himlen, omgivna av mystiska skuggor från de gamla träden och stenar.En: As darkness fell, they sat together watching the starry sky, surrounded by the mysterious shadows of the ancient trees and stones.Sv: De visste att detta var en Midsommar de alltid skulle minnas – en där både säkerhet och äventyr balanserade perfekt.En: They knew this was a Midsummer they would always remember—one where safety and adventure were perfectly balanced.

“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.”

hav.En: The waves whispered softly against the shore, and the air was filled with a mild breeze that carried a faint scent of salty seas.Sv: Det var Midsommar, och festen i byn hade just avslutats, men på stranden fanns en stillsam tystnad kvar.En: It was Midsommar, and the festivities in the village had just ended, but on the beach, a tranquil silence remained.Sv: Lars, en ung konstnär med huvudet fyllt av tankar och hjärtat av längtan, gick ensam längs vattenbrynet.En: Lars, a young artist with a mind full of thoughts and a heart longing, walked alone along the water's edge.Sv: Han hade kämpat med sitt skapande och letade efter något, kanske en gnista eller en ny idé, som kunde hjälpa honom vidare.En: He had struggled with his creativity and was searching for something, perhaps a spark or a new idea, to help him move forward.Sv: Han stannade upp och såg ut över vattnet, månen speglades i det mörka djupet.En: He paused and looked out over the water, the moon reflected in the dark depth.Sv: På avstånd syntes en annan silhuett i natten.En: In the distance, another silhouette appeared in the night.Sv: Det var Astrid, en fri själ som vandrade världen runt med en nyfikenhet som aldrig tröttnade.En: It was Astrid, a free spirit who wandered the world with a curiosity that never tired.Sv: Hon hade kommit till stranden för att få ro efter nattens firande, och när hon såg Lars där framme, blev hon nyfiken.En: She had come to the beach to find peace after the night's celebration, and when she saw Lars ahead, she became curious.Sv: Hon kände något bekant i hans närvaro, kanske en ensamhet som speglade hennes egen.En: She felt something familiar in his presence, perhaps a loneliness that mirrored her own.Sv: Lars tvekade först, men något i sättet Astrid rörde sig på, hennes lugna, trygga uppenbarelse, lockade honom framåt.En: Lars hesitated at first, but something in the way Astrid moved, her calm, confident presence, drew him forward.Sv: "Ursäkta," sade han när han kom närmare, "jag kunde inte låta bli att lägga märke till att du också njuter av stranden."En: "Excuse me," he said as he came closer, "I couldn't help but notice that you're also enjoying the beach."Sv: "Ja," svarade Astrid med ett leende.En: "Yes," replied Astrid with a smile.Sv: "Det är något vackert med månen över vattnet."En: "There's something beautiful about the moon over the water."Sv: De började prata, och tiden verkade stanna.En: They began to talk, and time seemed to stand still.Sv: Lars delade sina tankar om konsten och sin rädsla för att inte räcka till.En: Lars shared his thoughts about art and his fear of not being enough.Sv: Astrid berättade om sina resor och sitt ständiga sökande efter något hon inte visste om.En: Astrid spoke of her travels and her constant search for something she wasn't sure of.Sv: Deras samtal fyllde natten, men plötsligt mörknade skyn.En: Their conversation filled the night, but suddenly the sky darkened.Sv: En plötslig regnstorm bröt ut och tvingade dem att söka skydd under en stor strandtall.En: A sudden rainstorm erupted and forced them to seek shelter under a large beach pine.Sv: Under skydd av trädet, med vatten som forsade ner omkring dem, fortsatte deras samtal att fördjupas.En: Under the tree's protection, with water rushing down around them, their conversation continued to deepen.Sv: Astrid berättade att trots hennes kärlek till friheten, fanns det en längtan efter att hitta något beständigt.En: Astrid revealed that despite her love of freedom, there was a longing to find something lasting.Sv: Lars, fångad av hennes ord och hennes öppenhet, kände en ny självsäkerhet växa inom honom.En: Lars, captivated by her words and openness, felt a new confidence growing within him.Sv: Regnet avtog, och de två såg på varandra, medymkande skrattandes åt hur blöta de var.En: The rain subsided, and the two looked at each other, laughing in sympathy at how wet they were.Sv: Känslan av samhörighet var stark, en oväntad men välkommen upptäckt för dem båda.En: The feeling of connection was strong, an unexpected but welcome discovery for them both.Sv: "Vi borde ses igen," sa Lars plötsligt, överväldigad av en ny känsla av hopp och inspiration.En: "We should meet again," said Lars suddenly, overwhelmed by a new feeling of hope and inspiration.Sv: "Kanske här, imorgon kväll?"En: "Maybe here, tomorrow night?"Sv: Astrid nickade och log, en antydan av busighet i hennes ögon.En: Astrid nodded and smiled, a hint of playfulness in her eyes.Sv: "Jag skulle gärna träffa dig här igen, Lars."En: "I would love to meet you here again, Lars."Sv: När de skildes åt den kvällen, kände sig Lars lättare.En: As they parted that evening, Lars felt lighter.Sv: Han hade hittat både inspiration och mod att skapa, allt tack vare Astrids närvaro.En: He had found both inspiration and the courage to create, all thanks to Astrid's presence.Sv: Astrid å sin sida övervägde möjligheten av att låta någon bli en del av hennes annars ensamma värld.En: Astrid, for her part, considered the possibility of letting someone become a part of her otherwise solitary world.Sv: Midsommarnatten må ha tagit slut, men för Lars och Astrid var det början på något nytt och värdefullt.En: The Midsommarnatt may have ended, but for Lars and Astrid, it was the beginning of something new and valuable.Sv: Och medan månen fortsatte sin vakts gamla bana över himlen, visste de att de nästa kväll skulle mötas igen, för att skapa nya minnen under de orörda stjärnorna på stranden.En: And while the moon continued its ancient path across the sky, they knew they would meet again the next evening to create new memories under the untouched stars on the beach.

"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.

musik hördes överallt.En: Flowers adorned the city, and the sound of laughter and music was heard everywhere.Sv: Men inne i den stora konferenshallen var stämningen mer spänd.En: But inside the large conference hall, the atmosphere was more tense.Sv: Internationella delegater hade samlats till det prestigefyllda toppmötet.En: International delegates had gathered for the prestigious summit.Sv: Bland dem, gömda i folkmassan, fanns Emil och Astrid, två av journalistvärldens detektiver för de närmaste dagarna.En: Among them, hidden in the crowd, were Emil and Astrid, two of the journalistic detectives for the coming days.Sv: Emil, med sin erfarenhet och skarpa observation, hade en känsla för när något var fel.En: Emil, with his experience and sharp observation, had a sense for when something was wrong.Sv: Astrid, ivrig och full av energi, sökte ständigt efter sitt stora genombrott.En: Astrid, eager and full of energy, was constantly searching for her big breakthrough.Sv: De hade fått nys om en potentiell skandal kring en av nyckeltalarna, en man med mycket makt och inflytande.En: They had caught wind of a potential scandal surrounding one of the keynote speakers, a man with a lot of power and influence.Sv: "Vi måste vara försiktiga", viskade Emil medan de promenerade genom de gyllene korridorerna.En: "We must be careful," Emil whispered as they walked through the golden corridors.Sv: "Vi kan inte publicera något utan bevis."En: "We can't publish anything without proof."Sv: Astrid nickade, men hennes ögon lyste av ambition.En: Astrid nodded, but her eyes shone with ambition.Sv: "Om vi får det här rätt, kan det bli stort.En: "If we get this right, it can be big.Sv: Jag kan inte missa den här chansen, Emil."En: I can't miss this chance, Emil."Sv: Timmarna gick.En: Hours passed.Sv: De frågade ut flera deltagare och undersökte noggrant ryktena.En: They interrogated several participants and thoroughly investigated the rumors.Sv: Emil kände nervositeten stiga men höll sig lugn.En: Emil felt the nervousness rise but remained calm.Sv: Astrid visade sin talang för att ställa rätt frågor.En: Astrid displayed her talent for asking the right questions.Sv: De arbetade tillsammans, trots deras olika perspektiv.En: They worked together, despite their different perspectives.Sv: Snart hade de tillräckligt med information för att konfrontera talaren.En: Soon they had enough information to confront the speaker.Sv: Den avgörande stunden var inne, och de gick mot hans hotellrum.En: The critical moment was at hand, and they headed to his hotel room.Sv: Emil knackade försiktigt på dörren.En: Emil knocked gently on the door.Sv: Talaren öppnade, hans ansikte blev blekt när han såg deras allvarliga uttryck.En: The speaker opened, his face turning pale when he saw their serious expressions.Sv: "Vad vill ni?"En: "What do you want?"Sv: "Vi har bevis för oegentligheter", sade Astrid, rösten i en blandning av säkerhet och oro.En: "We have evidence of irregularities," said Astrid, her voice a mix of confidence and concern.Sv: Emil höll fram dokumenten med bevisen de samlat.En: Emil held out the documents with the evidence they had gathered.Sv: Det blev en tyst konfrontation, fylld med spänning.En: It was a silent confrontation, filled with tension.Sv: Talaren vek sig under pressen och erkände till slut sina fel.En: The speaker crumbled under the pressure and eventually admitted his faults.Sv: Skandalen var nu ett faktum.En: The scandal was now a fact.Sv: Samma kväll publicerade Emil och Astrid artikeln tillsammans.En: That same evening, Emil and Astrid published the article together.Sv: De hade avslöjat skandalen utan att falla i frestelsen för genvägar.En: They had exposed the scandal without falling into the temptation of shortcuts.Sv: Emil lärde sig att uppskatta Astrids energi och intuition.En: Emil learned to appreciate Astrid's energy and intuition.Sv: Astrid, i sin tur, förstod värdet av ärlighet och samarbete.En: Astrid, in turn, understood the value of honesty and collaboration.Sv: När de senare gick genom Stockholms gator, med midsommarsång ekandes i natten, visste de att de hade gjort det rätta.En: As they later walked through the streets of Stockholm, with the midsommar song echoing in the night, they knew they had done the right thing.Sv: Deras berättelse viskades bland deltagarna, och toppmötet förändrades för alltid.En: Their story was whispered among the participants, and the summit was changed forever.Sv: Kartan må ha varit full av hinder, men tillsammans hade de navigerat den till framgång.En: The map may have been full of obstacles, but together they had navigated it to success.Sv: Det var en midsommar de aldrig skulle glömma.En: It was a Midsommar they would never forget.

Det vankas midsommar i veckan, varpå vi skrapar bort dammet på vårat 11 år gamla Midsommar-avsnitt från 2014. Det blir gamla och nya traditioner, solkult, folktro, blommor, sill och dricka. Dessutom sågas Robins vackra redogörelse för mumintrollens midsommar vid fotknölarna med ett hjärtlöst skrockande av den kulturelle analfabeten Daniel! Historiepoddenklassiker! Hosted on Acast.
