Hello everybody, and welcome back, it is August 1st, 2025 and you are listening to episode 213 of Midnight Film Society🎥! I'm your host, Damian W. Sherman, joining me today as always is…

On today's show, we’ve got double Pedro Pascal! He’s Stretchy McDaddy, aka Reed Richard, in Matt Shakman’s Fantastic Four! He is also a broody Mayor of a small, New Mexico town in Ari Aster’s Eddington! But, before that we’ll get into some movie and tv news, go over what else we’ve been watching, and finish up with our Letterboxd shuffle.
