We can have a mainstream arthouse movie, as a treat. Josh and Drusilla catch up after a trying week and catch up on movies. Josh watched Hour of the Wolf before going on a Bergman break. Drusilla saw David Arquette at Bob Baker Day. The duo discusses goth fitness and the Andrew WK renaissance before Josh tells yet another cocaine story. Drusilla watched At Long Last Love, which is good no matter what boomers say, and we love Polly Platt. Josh watched and loved Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched as well as The Greasy Strangler.
And then onto the feature, the director's cut of Ari Aster's Midsommar. Drusilla gives a trigger warning for self-harm and suicide. Dani (Florence Pugh) has the worst boyfriend of all time. The duo compares Midsommar to Hereditary and also the differences between the director's cut and the theatrical cut. They talk gaslighting and ritual, anthropology and the terrifying old people ceremony, vacations where they weren't wanted, Josh's pagan hillbilly family, meat pies full of pubes, inbreeding, then have a long debate about using disfigured actors in horror films before playing Have They Seen It?
