92 - 'Eddington' and 'Too Much'

from The NO NOTES Podcast Hosted by Schmear

Ari Aster's latest film, 'Eddington,' is pissing A LOT of people off. But on this episode, Schmear is joined by Karsten Runquist to discuss why they think this Joaquin Phoenix / Pedro Pascal neo-western is so brilliant. They talk about Ari Aster's career up to this point (14:52) and the brutal reception of 'Eddington' at Cannes (20:37) before diving into the movie's themes, what works, what doesn't, and delving into Austin Butler and Emma Stone's performances (37:10). They wrap up by sharing some other ''Eddington'-adjacent recommendations (45:12) before Karsten shares 3 overlooked movies from the year so far (47:12). Then, Alison Sivitz (Bald Ann Dowd) returns to the show to talk about Lena Dunham's new rom-com series 'Too Much,' starring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe (49:05). She and Schmear assess why they loved the series and why everyone should be watching it.
