Lol good that they included midsommar and that particular scene because people were swearing up and down it was a happy ending.

He just straight up they’re a cult and they de-individualizing her and making her more into part of a collective which is manipulation.

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts about cults and they’re fascinating.

I love The Last Podcast On The Left and their series on Jonestown was fantastic, I'm considering buying the book they based their research on.
They can be a bit of an acquired taste since there's lots of cursing and it's basically 3 guys telling each other the story (the dick and poop jokes can get annoying at times) but if you can ignore that, their research is always very through and they don't try to wrap everything up in one episode.

Oooh yes at him including Martha Marcy May Marlene.

MMMM bothers me too this day but i watch it once a year. It's so incredibly well done.

I don't remember Manson in once upon a time. Was that a deleted scene?

[genbu_no_miko24]

He was in one scene. It was essentially a cameo lol.

Maybe it's on a streaming service in your country, I always use this site to figure that out (and get annoyed when stuff is not on any streaming platform): https://www.justwatch.com/
