Ep. 19 - Why Midsommar Is A Genius Work of Horror

Update: 2024-06-25

Description

Alan discusses Ari Aster's "Midsommar" about a young woman named Dani(Florence Pugh) who in the wake of a family tragedy clings to a boyfriend, Christian (Jack Reynor) who doesn't appreciate her. When they go on vacation with some friends to Sweeden, all Hell breaks loose and things that make no sense take place. Christian's friend is creepily flirting with her. Is he trying to make a move? Alan talks about how the film, though gruesome is wildly underappreciated and the movie is a duality of a failed relationship and a failed people.
