In honor of the release of Ari Aster’s fourth feature film, Eddington, Mike is joined by guest Ian Leak for a deep and sometimes uncomfortable dive into Aster’s entire body of work.
They start with his film school shorts, including The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, and work their way through Hereditary, Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid. Along the way, they unpack the recurring themes that have come to define Aster’s style: grief, trauma, paranoia, isolation, graphic body horror, and more full-frontal male nudity than anyone was expecting.
There’s no denying Ari Aster has become one of the most fascinating film makers of the past decade.
