Ari Aster’s MIDSOMMAR is the topic of this week’s episode. Will was unable to join, but special guest Megan (@meganwilde)sat in for him. The ghouls go in depth about the film’s motifs, themes, Swedish traditions, and astrological compatibilities amongst characters. Before they dive into Aster’s dark fairytale... Alexz was not impressed with the remake of THE LION KING, while Jeanette vouched for the hyperrealism of the animals. Alexz also loved INTO THE DARK’S "CULTURE SHOCK" episode on Hulu, but couldn’t sit through THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE, and had conflicting thoughts on ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Ashley was in a Sci-Fi mood and watched FIRST MAN and THE FIFTH ELEMENT. Jeanette was intrigued by the morally corrupt superheroes in new Amazon show THE BOYS. Megan suggests that everyone watch WILD WILD COUNTRY, and the group review the new trailer for IT: CHAPTER TWO. Also, tangents on astronaut conspiracies and diapers, the teen angst in EUPHORIA, and the discovery of a Tibetan Book of the Dead.
