In this episode, Sidney breaks down Midsommar (2019), a movie she once hated but has a newfound appreciation for.

This episode originally broadcast on January 29, 2026. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/01/binary-system-podcast-491-strange-new-worlds-lower-decks-crossover/It's a good thing Kathryn watched the Star Trek Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover this week, mostly because now we can talk about how awesome it is that the actors who voiced the animated characters got to play the live-action versions in an episode that was equal parts heartwarming and freaking hilarious.But it's also good because it's literally the only new thing either of us watched all week. Sure, we could be catching up on all the Oscar noms but nooooo, we're rewatching Hannibal (third time through) and Midsommar (fourth time through...maybe fifth?) and the Pear Cider and Cigarettes commentary (oh we've lost count), because we need serious comfort watching on account of ice storms and I don't know THE WORLD?This week's outro is a clip from Circles by Roy Colwin.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

In the second episode ever in English (the last being my interview with Greg Sestero from The Room), I'm speaking with Paulo Bautista aka Ninjaboi, host of the Oscars Death Race Podcast about the Oscars Death Race. The pursuit of watching all Academy Award nominated films or die trying. We're also going through the current award season, the biggest Oscars snubs from previous years and favorite winners. For international listeners, I have previously also spoken to Vilhelm Blomgren from Midsommar, an interview that has been transcribed to English on reddit. Follow me on Letterboxd. 

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Will Poulter, originally episode 167 from 2017-10-17.Original writeup below:In the midst of his current promo run for Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit', Will takes time to sit down with Pip for a long overdue chat covering - as you will have come to expect from the DPP - a crazy large number of bases... From the issues raised in portraying a violently racist policeman in 'Detroit' (and the poignancy of the film itself), a powerful back and forth is triggered with Pip and Will, which is the beauty of films like this and how an open discussion can be had which leads into so much more besides - race, politics, society, it's all here. On top of that, you'll hear his tale from the very early days back in 'School Of Comedy' and how his young foot in the acting world's door gave him the necessary inspiration for a full on career, Will drops some gems from his unique perspective on his experience with acting and his ascent from those younger days right up to 'Son Of Rambow', 'The Maze Runner' and 'The Revenant', the latter of which had him up alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hardy no less. A rich and diverse filmography right there, which has in many ways freed him from his somewhat reductive nickname of 'that Weird Eyebrow Actor'. Get yourself involved, it's a goodie and as interesting as it is entertaining.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureINSTAGRAMIMDBPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

A Quiet Place Day One (Sarnoski 2024) A Quiet Place Day One is an odd film. Laura very much enjoyed the primary plot and characters, and so for her this film worked well. And while Marshall did also, for him that felt summarily disconnected from the Day One universe and therefore did not work at all. Of possible interest at a larger scale is this is another big name horror franchise doing a sequel in New York City. This could be reflective of the right wing's recent intense demonization of major cities as cesspools of crime and violence. While that simply is not true, the narrative has still be aggressively pushed by the neo-Right. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Every year these cinephiles get together to decide what movies, actors, actresses, writers, and directors get to take home a golden-coveted Oscar Isaac statue that is as big as Oscar Isaac himself. After the 21 A24 films in 2019, it was the toughest competition yet for the A24 Rocks crew to decide who should win (and lose). 7 Oscar Isaacs, and 1 bronze piece of poop, up for the taking. Who will win? Who will lose?

This week on Earth Station Boo, we step into the bright daylight and floral terror of A24's modern folk-horror film Midsommar. Directed by Ari Aster, this movie blends grief, emotional manipulation, and cult psychology into one of the most unique and disturbing horror stories of the last decade. We explore Dani's heartbreaking journey through trauma […] The post Let the Festivities begin  | Earth Station Boo appeared first on The ESO Network.

"Hereditary" war ein Achtungserfolg, "Midsommar" ist fast schon ein moderner Klassiker und "Beau is Afraid" hat viele vor den Kopf gestoßen. Wenn Ari Aster einen neuen Film macht, ist nie ganz klar, was man bekommt. Mit "Eddington" holt er jetzt die große Corona-Schelle raus, aber wieso? Lucas diskutiert das mit Patrick Kittler vom Podcast „Spiegelkabinett Kino“. Unterstützt uns gerne für exklusive Folgen auf https://steadyhq.com/cuts.

Med avstamp i begreppet "urban wyrd" tar vi ett par bestämda kliv rakt ner i tunnelbanan, stadens kollektiva undermedvetna. På vägen ner luftar vi också Freuds "das unheimliche" och psykogeografi, båda begreppen hyfsat relevanta för tunnelbanan som skådeplats i skräckfiktionen. Vi gör också vårt bästa för att få grepp om filmerna Quatermass and the Pit från 1967 och Deathline från 1972. Johannes gläds åt längdskillnaden mellan Donald Pleasence och Christopher Lee och pekar ut några viktiga faktorer som gör Deathline till en på många sätt politisk film. Tomas poängterar, med ett mått av skadeglädje, att Quatermass and the Pit hyllas av Carpenter i guldrullen In the Mouth of Madness genom att staden och tunnelbanestationen delar namn, nämligen: Hobbs End. Vi pratar också bland annat om: Adam Scovell, folk horror, Witchfinder General, Blood On Satan´s Claw, The Wicker Man, konfliktlinjen nutid/dåtid, folktro, vidskepligheter, The Folk Horror Chain, Candyman, Cabrini Green, isolation, urbana legender, folklore, hemsökt arkitektur, psykogeografi, liminal spaces, Nigel Kneale, science fiction, The Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2, The Woman in Black, The Stone Tape, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, John Carpenter, Prince of Darkness, ockulta utredningar, Swinging London, kosmisk skräck, M.R. James, Whistle and I´ll Come to You, A Warning to the Curious 2. H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness, Gary Sherman, Dead & Buried, Poltergeist III, Titta dom snackar-Emil, proggjazz, perversiteter, kameraåkningar, ljuddesign, kapitalism, klasskildringar, trasproletariat, kannibalism, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, avgudabilder, hauntology, Sjöwall/Wahlöö, Clive Barker, New York, Ryuhei Kitamura, j-horror, Bradley Cooper, Vinnie Jones, att känna sig smutsig, lovecraftiansk skräck, Midsommar, Florence Pugh, John Turturro, Brooke Shields, CGI, gore, monsterdesign och Sara Bergmark Elfgrens "Grim". Patrobs får sig också till livs en jämförelsestudie av Clive Barkers The Midnight Meat Train från 1984 och filmatiseringen med samma namn från 2008.  Mycket nöje!

What could Limp Bizkit possibly have in common with BvS? Just how many women did Captain Kirk get involved with on Star Trek? And how much more messed up is the Director's Cut of Midsommar?

Tubi Or Not Tubi EP 38: Midsommar by Team Uncut

Ein Reigen im Sonnenuntergang, ein Steinkreis auf der Waldlichtung, Blumen im Haar, das Ritual beginnt. Seit einigen Jahren beschreibt "Folk-Horror" unseren Grusel vor dem Archaischen. Ist die Natur belebt? Ist die Kultur oppressiv? Kommt das Unterdrückte zurück? Können uns Aufklärung und Vernunft hier draußen nicht mehr helfen? In dieser Genre-Folge sprechen Christian, Christoph und Clara Atlanta über "Folk-Horror" anhand von "Wicker Man", "Kwaidan" & "Blair Witch Project" und fragen sich, was genau eigentlich das Gruselige an der Folklore ist. Außerdem geht es um "Witchfinder General", "Blood on Satan's Claw", "Häxan", "Midsommar", "The Witch", "Longlegs" und "Weapons".

Frank sits down with Graveyard from Distance Nerding to revisit the cult favorite Trick 'r Treat. They unpack the film's comic-book anthology structure, Michael Dougherty's direction, how lighting and practical effects sell the Halloween vibe, and why “respecting the rules” is the movie's secret engine. The conversation widens into horror's ebb-and-flow trends, gateway recommendations, and a peek at Graveyard's current indie film projects. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and guest setup 00:10 First watch reactions and why this pick works 02:03 Two-minute plot challenge and interwoven stories overview 04:10 Rewatch factor and Halloween traditions 06:09 Nonlinear storytelling and comic-book anthology DNA 07:56 Michael Dougherty's vision, pacing, and writing credits 09:17 Warm candlelight, menace, and classic horror lighting tricks 10:04 Practical effects vs CGI, werewolf transforms, and Sam's design 12:11 Should Sam's mask ever come off and why he feels like the watcher 14:14 Favorite character: Principal Steven and the vampire misdirect 15:47 Mr. Kreeg, justice by “the rules,” and that doorbell payoff 18:35 Rhonda, lit pumpkins, and surviving by respecting tradition 19:41 Sam as the embodiment of Halloween and who can “see” him 21:21 Horror in the household and YA horror for younger fans 22:52 Family horror traditions, Halloween and IT 24:01 Horror as a time capsule for taboos and fears 24:40 Vampires vs zombies discourse and trend cycles 26:26 Walking Dead as drama and genre fatigue 27:12 Theme spotlight: respect the past and know the why behind traditions 28:23 From overlooked release to cult classic in a torture-porn era 29:02 New French Extremity, Scream waves, and subgenre swings 30:12 Prestige horror, supernatural return, and James Wan's run 31:20 Great directors who cut their teeth on horror 32:34 Daylight horror shoutout to Midsommar 33:47 What to watch next: Krampus, Creepshow, and hidden gem The Burning 36:16 Distance Nerding's The Build, Conversations in the Void, and Mostly Pod at Night Mostly 40:43 Indie projects: Fairfield County, Night Terrors, a werewolf short, and Decades of Horror 42:46 Wrap and how to connect Key Takeaways Trick 'r Treat works because the anthology threads actively interlock, rewarding attention without feeling like separate shorts. The “rules of Halloween” aren't window dressing. They're story fuel that decide who lives, who dies, and why. Lighting sells the tone shift. Warm, cozy frames flip to dread in an instant. Practical effects age better than quick-hit CGI, especially for werewolves and Sam. The movie's cult rise tracks with broader horror cycles moving from torture-focused trends to craft-first “prestige” horror. Horror often mirrors the fears and taboos of its moment, which is why the genre keeps evolving and resurfacing. Want more in this vein? Krampus keeps Dougherty's dark humor, while Creepshow nails the comic-panel anthology spirit. Quotes “He is the embodiment of Halloween. Sam.” — Graveyard “The nonlinear works great because it feels like a comic book adaptation.” — Graveyard “Respect the traditions of the past. If you don't know them, learn them.” — Graveyard “Walking Dead is a drama that happens to have some zombies on it.” — Graveyard “There are so many shots I'm looking for more than I would in a normal movie.” — Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.”

Will & Hesse sit down with Ari Aster, director of Hereditary, Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, and the upcoming Eddington. They rap on evil movies, mixing stupid slapstick humor with pain & discomfort, creating a contemporary western out of the recent past, some of Ari's favorite films & filmmakers, and of course…the all-consuming sense of impending doom & lurking doubt that surrounds us. Check out Eddington, in theaters this summer on July 18th.
