Negotiate with Paimon

Sean Fennessey: Hereditary is read as absurdly comic fatalism: attempts to understand or repair the family cannot prevent inherited doom.

Chris Ryan: Take a meeting with Paimon and negotiate for wealth and insight rather than let the family be decapitated.

Carry an EpiPen, leave after a parent’s dangerous incident and build a strong community; the cult’s patience and coordinated execution supply the cynical community example.

Six Types of Horror Movies

Grisly; normal scary; popcorn; safe creepy; artsy creepy; full-fledged creepy

Grisly; normal scary; popcorn; safe creepy; artsy creepy; full-fledged creepy

The panel proposes a new category here.

Approx. transcript time · 00:08:00Read transcript
  • The first proposed types are grisly/torture horror, ordinary scary horror and teen-oriented popcorn horror, with examples and differing tolerance for gore. — Bill Simmons
  • Three creepy types follow: safe supernatural thrills, artsy discomfort and fully realized dread; Hereditary is placed in the last group rather than merely artsy horror. — Bill Simmons
  • The highest aspiration is the fully realized dread of The Shining or The Exorcist; ordinary horror is a frequent viewing preference, while prestige framing may be marketing.

  • Aster reportedly prepared a seventy-five-page shot list for his feature debut; his meticulous technique, shorts and personal sensibility are praised. — Sean Fennessey
  • The film reportedly cost $10 million and made $87.8 million, becoming A24’s highest grosser until Everything Everywhere All at Once. — Bill Simmons
  • The reported D-plus CinemaScore is discussed as a mismatch between marketing expectations and experience, with skepticism about horror scores generally. — Sean Fennessey
  • An Australian family-screening mistake is reported as the whole film rather than merely its trailer; this remains the episode’s claim rather than an independently verified event. — Bill Simmons
  • Aster reportedly fought an unnamed financier over the final cut and wrote detailed biographies for every character. — Bill Simmons
  • Stetson reportedly drew score inspiration from water and animal sounds heard while walking in darkness. — Bill Simmons
  • One friend smoking with Peter is said to appear later among the cult, supporting the interpretation that its influence surrounds the family. — Chris Ryan

  • Hell-based horror is called easy to invent because its rules are unconstrained; the defense is that Aster researched actual demon lore. — Bill Simmons

Most Rewatchable Scene

Final stretch after Steve burns; Charlie’s telephone-pole death

Final stretch after Steve burns; Charlie’s telephone-pole death

In the discussion (12)
Approx. transcript time · 00:29:15Read transcript
  • Annie’s support-group family history is nominated, with the distant elevated camera slowly approaching her face as inherited catastrophe unfolds.
  • The party setup is examined: bringing Charlie strains plausibility, while the classroom’s fate discussion and the nut-filled cake suggest predestination.
  • Charlie’s decapitation is startling and effective, helped by a trailer that misleadingly positioned her as central without revealing the death.
  • Peter’s shutdown and silent return home are disturbing; holding on his face while Annie screams is praised, while shock is offered as a defense of his behavior. — Bill Simmons
  • The head with ants, Charlie cutting the bird’s head off and the designs on the telephone pole match other clues noticed on later viewings.
  • Annie’s second meeting with Joan is nominated, with a brief tangent about Dowd’s college. — Bill Simmons
  • The paint-thinner story and Annie calling her accident miniature a neutral view combine painful family history with absurd dark humor. — Bill Simmons
  • The dinner confrontation is nominated for Collette’s furious maternal speech, compared jokingly with a dysfunctional-family SNL sketch. — Chris Ryan
  • The family séance is nominated and considered an obviously dangerous decision, especially the insistence that everyone attend and recite unknown words.
  • Annie deciphering albums and books, Peter’s classroom breakdown, showing Steve the attic and Steve burning are further candidates. — Bill Simmons
  • The preferred final stretch begins with Steve burning and Peter discovering his father’s body and his mother on the ceiling; the transfer logic and piano-wire death are discussed.
  • A second choice supports the ending after Steve burns, while another explicitly chooses the telephone-pole death. — Sean Fennessey

House; insects; repeat-viewing clues; score; Dowd; classroom homage

House; insects; repeat-viewing clues; score; Dowd; classroom homage

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 00:43:20Read transcript
  • The secluded Utah house, treehouse, driveway and Annie’s work area are praised as ideal horror real estate and an appealing place to live. — Bill Simmons
  • Ants and flies remain effective horror devices, with personal aversions to insects and rodents compared.
  • Repeated viewing exposes funeral cult members, the grandmother’s wishes, the bird, pole and card clues; comparison with The Sixth Sense’s twist-driven appeal is disputed.
  • The film caps a formative A24 run that introduced filmmakers and lasting audience favorites.
  • The unsettling score’s creaks and sounds create dread without functioning as ordinary listening music.
  • Peter’s head-slamming is effective sudden self-injury horror, though later films copying the device can also make it feel overused. — Chris Ryan
  • Dowd’s run through this film, The Leftovers and The Handmaid’s Tale is praised as a dark trio, with a college-dorm tangent.
  • The classroom staging is admired as a Halloween homage, including the window placement.

  • Charlie’s clicking sound remains disturbing, especially when a spouse imitates it and when it appears beside Peter in class. — Bill Simmons
  • Wolff’s performance is defended, but reportedly demanding to be called Peter until the last shooting day is criticized as inconsiderate method acting.
  • Collette’s reported comments describe Wolff as difficult and uncollaborative while praising the result; a Jeremy Strong tangent illustrates the same issue without dismissing Wolff’s career.
  • Sudden head-smashing has become overused in later horror, and the elevated-horror label is criticized as pretentious.

In the discussion (6)
Approx. transcript time · 01:09:23Read transcript
  • Whether Charlie’s crisis is an ordinary allergy or Paimon directing events is debated; the marked pole and possible cult placement of the deer imply orchestrated fate.
  • Whether the family already has wealth from the grandmother’s pact is wondered about, leading to jokes about Paimon supplying investment and betting tips.
  • Whether Paimon returns to school or ever inhabited Annie during intimacy is debated; one reading limits her possession to the period after Steve’s death, another points to roaming blue light. — Sean Fennessey
  • The wisdom of séances and the eight kings’ hierarchy, territories, collaboration and place beneath Satan are left unanswered amid organizational jokes.
