Eddington 2025 has come cool plotting actually

Ari Aster quickly becomes one of the more interesting film-makers out there. And this is sad, because his 2 latest movies were commercial disappointments, while being excellent pieces of film-making. I already reviewed his anxiety epic Beau Is Afraid, which was a flop, while being a stellar piece of mastery over tension. And with Eddington ( which also flopped ) I'm starting to think that Aster has a marketing problem.

#TheLever is definetly a great media and its podcasts are both radical and unbiased (yes, it is possible).

Listening to the latest podcast of Augut 11th 2025, I discovered a movie from #AriAster, #Eddington

"You might recognize director Ari Aster from his groundbreaking horror films like Hereditary and Midsommar.

But Aster just dropped the scariest film of his career: Eddington, a dark COVID-19 comedy starring #JoaquinPhoenix, #PedroPascal, and #EmmaStone, about social media-driven polarization, gun violence, and the looming tech takeover.

Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Aster about the inspiration behind his all-too-prescient film.

Did the coronavirus pandemic break our brains, leaving our communities with no commonly accepted set of facts?
How do we navigate today’s AI slop-driven informational hellscape?
And is it possible to avoid the twisted fate of Eddington, Aster’s fictional New Mexico town?"

Listen to the podcast, it's 35 minutes of intelligent interview and thoughtful answers.

And, oh, go and see the movie, I definitely will, I will be the first time in ages I'll pay for a ticket rather than qBit it.

Oh man the five minute preview of #TheStrangeThingAboutTheJohnsons is just so disturbing. That's uh.... I don't know how to... I don't think i can watch this alone and I'm not sure I want to inflict it blind on others.

‘Nobody believes in the future any more’: Adam Curtis and Ari Aster on how to wake up from the post-truth nightmare

Paranoia is exploited to control us. Movies are groomed to flatter us. And trauma has been twisted to make us blame ourselves. How can we make sense of our lives? The two film-makers try to navigate the chaos
