Episode 15 - Eddington

Prepare yourselves! This is a contentious episode! I mean, it would be. We're talking Eddington after all, and nothing is as divisive as the Ari Aster directed black comedy/western/ take down of the pandemic era. Well, maybe Coke vs. Pepsi. That or whether or not you should put hard boiled eggs in your cereal. Just kidding. Nobody does that. Except I know someone who does and it's gross. Where was I? Right. Eddington. Join the Watch This! crew as they dissect the film and try to prove to one another that the movie is a masterpiece/suckfest. Who will win? Who knows. But seriously don't put hard boiled eggs in your cereal.
