Episode 10: MIDSOMMAR (2019)

On this week's episode of the Seat Struck Movie Podcast, we discuss the recent 'daylight' horror by Ari Aster: Midsommar. Quinn is tied up with saving the world, but John is back fresh from vacation and ready to join Curtis for discussion. We chat about the plot of the movie, discuss the characters, visuals, themes/motifs, and John rants about why this is a truly insidious movie and not the girlboss flick you think it is. Afterwards we give our scores and discuss what we watched this week. We will be back next week for another Spooktober watch!
