Eddington

We would watch them in the backyard on the projector, on our 4K projector.

What did you think of Eddington? I like Eddington.

I think it's surprisingly good.

I did not expect to like it.

Um, and then loved it even better the second time around.

Like just such a great, I thought it was my, I

wound up watching all the, the, you know, best picture nominees for the first time in a while because we had the kid, um, And I was like, I don't know if I liked anything on the best picture list more than I liked Eddington.

Eddington was my number one.

formed, like formed to those two movies.

And I agree with you affords Ari Aster the chance to make Bo's afraid in Eddington.

And now his next film scapegoat, which apparently is going to be even, even more deranged than anything he's ever made.

Yeah.

The way you, I think we talked about Ari Aster with hereditary mid Samar, it, it, I don't mean this in a disparaging way at all but it gives me like the M.

Night Shyamalan sixth sense which is like he fucking killed it at the beginning so I will watch everything he does because I know he has it in him I know that it's there even if like the other stuff isn't as great but it's like he did sixth sense like I gotta see trap you know what I mean and I kind of feel that way with Ari Aster it's like I don't know maybe Midsommar like I'll see whatever he does so yeah yeah okay

Well, I don't think Eddington or Bo is Afraid are technically eligible for this draft.

So Ari Aster is kind of off the board.

He doesn't use social media, which is why it's great that he starts his movie with a scene of a racist white woman recording cops.

And from the opening scene, I'm immediately like – uh oh like this is a big red flag because this isn't directed by Ari Aster like this could be in Eddington and this could maybe work but even then it's just so on the nose and like one of the funniest things I love and of course this is very relevant to Aaron Sorkin's political leanings and perspectives is that We find out that this example of this like radicalized racist white woman who's yelling at the police at the start of the movie and uploads the video to Facebook, which Mikey Madison then watched.

We learned that that actually used to be a friend of Mikey Madison's character.

And she used to support – and this is how they phrase it in the movie – a progressive candidate for president who she believed was – screwed out of the nomination by the DNC.

what the film is kind of about.

That is the timeframe it's trying to discuss and break down, but it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what is going on there.

And the movie that does that best is Eddington.

I mean, to me, like, I don't think any movie has even tried to do it in any, or any where approach that type of like, so the psychosis everyone has been experiencing because of phone, phone, bad, like it's a phone, bad movie.
