Hereditary (Movie History, Plot Breakdown, & Pairings)

October 14, 2026 · 2 h 40 min

Show notes

This week we discuss Ari Aster's horrifying first film, "Hereditary." We talk about the long road to making this film starting with a discussion of his early shorts leading into the production and painful post-production of this film. The plot is discussed next, where we walk through the story and describe our favorite parts. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills.

Thank you so much for listening!
