This week, we talked about Ari Aster’s ~filmography~ Hereditary and Midsommar! We talk about why Ari Aster loves to make movies with white women sobbing. We say the phrase “white man” SO many times that we literally have Cameron bleep it out. We talk about everything that makes these films so amazing: the cinematography, the transitions, the accuracy of the trauma, the CRYING! Somehow we end up defending the Hårga Cult in Midsommar??? Despite that, we still get into real intellectual hours in this episode discussing how different cultures handle grief, the concept of ~catharsis~, mirror neurons, and so much more, this week on ‘Bitch, Why?’.

Be sure to leave us a review and email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
