Midsommar (2019): "The Aly & AJ of it All"

It’s mid-summer, baby, and you know what that means: It’s time we covered Midsommar (2019) on Spooky Tuesday. On our latest episode, we’re honoring the super long film by sharing a super long episode (which is to say that we just could not stop talking about it and dissecting it and debating aspects of it). From Mark’s shocking resemblance to Sid from Toy Story to the Aly & AJ of it all, we’re diving deep into everything that makes Midsommar the perfect mid-summer movie.
