Ari Aster returns to our screens with a black slapstick comedy about the insanity and trauma of the COVID-19 lockdowns, with Eddington. Joaquin Phoenix stars as a down-on-his-luck small-town sheriff who is so disgruntled by the lockdowns that he decides to challenge the town's mayor for office. But what has been bubbling underneth for the sheriff is being brought to the surface by the weird world of social distancing and screens. Ebba and Macon talk about how Aster's movie about trauma a political division has a lot of serious stuff to say about our digital dystopia.
