From his thesis film at AFI in 2010 through his fourth movie under the A24 banner in 2025, filmmaker Ari Aster likes to show audiences what happens when our attentions are overtaken by disruptive or disturbing phenomena and what that does to relationships.
The moment was when we learned Ari Aster is just as worried about data centers as we are. The movie is Eddington (2025) and the story is presented as a modern western with a thinly defined good guy and bad guy while the real villain glows patiently on the edge of town. WARNING: This episode is filled with Ari Aster movie spoilers, including Hereditary, Midsommar, Eddington, and The Strange Thing About the Johnsons.
