Published: Aug. 14, 2019, 2:40 p.m.

b'Ari Aster\\u2019s MIDSOMMAR is the topic of this week\\u2019s episode. Will was unable to join, but special guest Megan (@meganwilde)sat in for him. The ghouls go in depth about the film\\u2019s motifs, themes, Swedish traditions, and astrological compatibilities amongst characters. Before they dive into Aster\\u2019s dark fairytale... Alexz was not impressed with the remake of THE LION KING, while Jeanette vouched for the hyperrealism of the animals. Alexz also loved INTO THE DARK\\u2019S "CULTURE SHOCK" episode on Hulu, but couldn\\u2019t sit through THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE, and had conflicting thoughts on ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Ashley was in a Sci-Fi mood and watched FIRST MAN and THE FIFTH ELEMENT. Jeanette was intrigued by the morally corrupt superheroes in new Amazon show THE BOYS. Megan suggests that everyone watch WILD WILD COUNTRY, and the group review the new trailer for IT: CHAPTER TWO. Also, tangents on astronaut conspiracies and diapers, the teen angst in EUPHORIA, and the discovery of a Tibetan Book of the Dead.\\n\\nMIDSOMMAR discussion begins at 31:00\\n***spoilers begin at 42:00\\n\\n\\nPlease subscribe, rate and review us!\\n\\nFollow us on Instagram and Twitter!\\n@ghoulchat\\n@williamfrench\\n@jeanmarli\\n@alexznyx\\n@ashleynrhernandez\\n\\nwww.ghoulchat.com\\nIntro song "Holy Prayer" by BASSBEAR'
