Midsommar (2019) with Softee

This episode’s guest is a performer on stage, screen and record who is close to my heart. I speak to the enchanting and hilarious Nina Grollman. You may know her by her DIY pop star moniker Softee. You can hear her joyous, dynamic forthcoming record, Natural, out on City Slang on May 12. 

Nina joins me today to discuss Midsommar, the second film from A24-director Ari Aster. We get into all the gory little details, so please listen with care and acceptance of spoilers. This conversation actually happened live in my kitchen, and we really get into it. I’ll leave it at this…we end up having a lot of reverence for the performance of Florence Pugh. And some other strong feelings about Aster’s work and the ending our main character Dani gets in this film. 

I’m excited to hear what you all think. Thank you for listening to Horrors of Love!
