How Eddington and Weapons hold a mirror up to our Panic World [Video] [Exclusive]
Added 2025-09-24 07:00:07 +0000 UTCTwo of 2025’s biggest movie releases so far, Eddington (basically Panic World: The Movie) and Weapons, are not the same genre but they both offer interesting looks into the state of our society today. Grant joins Ryan to talk about the thematic links between them and examine the question: how do you cover moral panics, mass hysteria, and the internet without just commenting on everything else that’s already been said?

This is what got me to subscribe to the Patreon. I think feature films are still a relevant part of the whole conversation this podcast is about. These two movies especially. More to come, I’m sure. Perhaps One Battle After Another?
