Summary

In this spine-tingling deep dive, Wes and Ty crack open Hereditary (2018), Ari Aster’s chilling debut that redefined modern horror. From its gut-wrenching emotional beats to its masterful use of dread and symbolism, the guys go all in on what makes this film so damn unsettling.

Wes brings the actor’s eye to Toni Collette’s powerhouse performance, dissecting how her raw portrayal of Annie anchors the film’s emotional chaos. Meanwhile, Ty puts on his sci-fi writer hat and digs into the movie’s mythological underpinnings, exploring the occult framework behind the story and what it says about inherited pain.

They cover everything from the infamous dinner table scene, to that brutal car ride, to the slow-burn descent into madness and the dark, twisted legacy the family can’t escape. Expect plenty of big-picture analysis on grief, identity, and how horror becomes truly horrifying when it hits too close to home.
