Alex went and saw Digger last week, and immediately started texting me (Mike) that I needed to see it ASAP. Upon watching it, I found out that it is because it's a movie you cannot talk about spoiler-free, and it is also a film that demands discussion. I saw it earlier this week, and we finally sat down and had a discussion.SPOILER ALERT!!! Watching this video will spoil the film, but if you've seen it already, hopefully it can help build the discussion for you that the film began.

Midsommar is horror in broad daylight, and we're going to talk all about it.If you want to get the episodes a couple of days early, check out the 2026 collection where we'll post them as soon as we're done editing: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/collection/1894865⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro - 0:00 Part 1: Pre-production - 02:42 Part 2: Production - 11:45 Part 3: Editing - 36:53 Part 4: Studio Notes - 48:02 Part 5: Dénouement - 58:58 Part 6: Trailer - 01:02:27
