About this episode

The episode discusses Ari Aster's film 'Eddington' and its exploration of a world where various belief systems collapse, allowing fascism to take root.

Ari Aster’s ”Eddington” shows what happens when every belief system collapses at once—religion, politics, community, even reality itself. It’s the kind of fractured world where fascism takes root.
