Studio by Studio Film Slates From A24 To WB, Chloe, Denzel & Sandler in play -  YIP3, ORC 4/8/2025

"Eddington" had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where it received mixed reviews for its story of the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, set during 2020, where a rivalry between Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) reaches a combustible state of political and social turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Director and writer, Ari Aster, the masterful filmmaker behind films such as "Hereditary," "Midsommar" and "Beau Is Afraid" is not unfamiliar with this kind of polarizing response to his provocative films and in fact, he welcomes the debate, discussion and reflection in hopes that his work will bring us closer together during a time where we're more divided than ever before. Aster and Academy Award-winning star Joaquin Phoenix were kind enough to speak with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters nationwide from A24. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interviews With "Eddington" Star Joaquin Phoenix & Filmmaker Ari Aster

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture

For this week's second podcast review, Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago, Daniel Howat & Brendan Hodges, join me to review and discuss the latest film from Ari Aster, "Eddington," starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler & Emma Stone. After its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, much like Aster's other films, his COVID-19 pandemic-set Western has sparked an intense discussion surrounding its themes, execution, and intention. Like the characters in the movie itself, no one can seem to see eye to eye on anything regarding it. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, its themes and style, performances, cinematography, our experiences with the pandemic and how it changed the world, the film's awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you super duper very much for listening. We hope you enjoy it!

Inherent Vice - We Get It Now - Boogie Mikes Part 7 - Ep 492

2020 was a pivotal moment in American history. We disappeared into our homes and came out a divided nation. That’s the backdrop for Eddington. Ari Aster, the writer/director best known for horror movies like Hereditary, at first seems like an unusual voice to contribute to the discussion. But maybe only a master of horror can get to the roots of the real-life horror movie we’re living through in 2025.

Joaquin Phoenix plays Joe, a sheriff of the fictional town of Eddington. Joe is a lone man fighting against a world spinning increasingly out of his control. He has problems in his marriage (his wife is played by Emma Stone). He can’t stand the Covid restrictions because his asthma makes masks hard to breathe in. And he’s frequently at odds with the liberal mayor of the town, Ted (Pedro Pascal). So Joe decides to take matters into his own hands by running for mayor himself.

Eddington doesn’t fit neatly in any particular genre. Western? Dark comedy? Thriller? Ari Aster certainly brings the same suspense and dread we’ve come to expect from his horror roots. In fact, Eddington may just be a horror movie in its own right, made all the more frightening by the fact that it’s real.

Join Jon and Tim as they discuss podcasting at night, the best Brewers season ever, Pedro Pascal in everything, the hell of polygamy, why The Great is great, old movie theaters, Emma Stone’s quirky choices, the best horror movie of the 2000’s, Ari Aster’s filmography, the 2020 inflection point, social media algorithms, how to participate in democracy, filling the void in your heart with power, the coalition of people who have given up on planet earth, and how to love your neighbor in a country split in two.

Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.

A celebration of cinema!
