MIDSOMMAR

<p>We&#39;re doing a double-feature of Ari Aster flicks, and the one we&#39;re starting with is 2019&#39;s <em>Midsommar</em>! This folk horror tale about a bad breakup is surely inspired by <em>The Wicker Man</em>, but Aster goes above and beyond with a sprawling tale or cultural rituals that draws from historical fact. We talk about the film&#39;s pacing, its metaphors on grief and empathy, the realistic gore, and that gut-punching opening sequence. We&#39;re also drinking Tree House Brewing&#39;s House Beer Lime in Tequila Barrels!</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Approximate timeline</strong></p> <p>0:00-7:00 Intro</p> <p>7:00-15:00 Beer talk</p> <p>15:00-end <em>Midsommar</em></p> <p><br></p> <p>Next up: Aster&#39;s <em>Beau is Afraid</em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support</a>
