Cinema Smorgasbord – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – Eddington (2025)

We’re selling out ONCE AGAIN with Ari Aster’s controversial neo-western thriller black comedy EDDINGTON, starring Joaquin Phoenix as sheriff Joe Cross, who runs for mayor against Pedro Pascal’s Ted Garcia in a small New Mexico town during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s sometimes uncomfortable, occasionally hilarious, and has some real bite – though some audiences didn’t know what to make of it. On this episode we go through some recent watches, discuss the Ari Aster films we’ve seen so far, and then have the DEFINITIVE conversation about EDDINGTON (with some warning before any spoiler talk). Enjoy!
