Ep. 416: Midsommar (2019)

Sorry for the delay, we got held up at a local summer celebration. We're continuing our "Welcome to the Family" marathon this week with a look at Ari Aster's follow up to Hereditary, which is Midsommar. The movie plays opposite to Hereditary in many ways. Another story about grief, this tale takes place primarily in the light. Bringing horror and trauma out into the open. We talk all about moral relativism, cultural practices, Aster's techniques, grief, folk horror and much more.
