Comedian and full-time May Queen Marianna Barksdale returns to Movie Wars to break down one of her all-time favorite films: Midsommar. And yes, we’re releasing this on the actual Midsummer holiday — because we love a good ritual.

We dive deep into Ari Aster’s sun-drenched horror masterpiece — grief, gaslighting, mushrooms, and messed-up relationships all included. Marianna shares why Midsommar hits her on such a personal level, and we debate whether Christian is truly a bad boyfriend or just a 24-year-old idiot. This episode mixes hilarity, honesty, and film nerdery like only Movie Wars can.

Fair warning: if your relationship is hanging by a thread, don’t book a trip to rural Sweden. Just listen to this episode instead.
