BONUS: How Eddington and Weapons hold a mirror up to our Panic World
Podcast: Panic WorldPublished On: Wed Sep 24 2025
Description: Two of 2025’s biggest movie releases so far, Eddington (basically Panic World: The Movie) and Weapons, are not the same genre but they both offer interesting looks into the state of our society today. Grant joins Ryan to talk about the thematic links between them and examine the question: how do you cover moral panics, mass hysteria, and the internet without just commenting on everything else that’s already been said?
