Ari Aster's 'Eddington': The Cult of America
from The Extra Credits · host Kelsi and Trey
Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Ari Aster’s bold and chaotic new film Eddington—a post-pandemic western satire that takes aim at America’s digital echo chambers. We break down the film’s story, its genre-blending style, standout performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Austin Butler (but an underused Emma Stone), and debate whether Aster’s ambition outweighs the film’s messiness.
