Episode 6: Midsommar (2019)
from GHOST KINO
Skol! May Day has come and gone, and so it’s time for the gang to go deep on Ari Aster’s 2019 release Midsommar, looking past the more obvious framing of this film as a “breakup movie” to look at the socio-political themes present beyond the frame (and inside the bear). Topics of discussion include the difference between socialism and national socialism, fascistic sacrifice, the ethnostate, hallucinogenics, John Cage, the 1980s Scandanivan black metal scene, attestupa, cultural relativism etc. Astro is wrong about anthropology majors btw some of us are good people (according to me Connor who writes the episode descriptions).
