Ari Aster's 'Eddington' is a modern Western placed in the height of lockdown during the 2020 pandemic, where digital media is the real villain. This week on Mixed Signals, @semaforben and @maxwelltani bring on the writer and director to talk about why he decided to make a film set during COVID when the rest of Hollywood is running in the other direction, how his relationship with social media led to 'Eddington,' and how his research for the film made him more empathetic to conspiracy theorists. Plus, Ari reveals what Marvel movie he turned down.
