Premium 253: There's Something Strange About the Johnsons

We tried to do the Buttigieg Wired article but it got too inane and so we had to bail midway through. To make up for it, we found an article in Bloomberg about a grandfather-father-son trio involved in a very strange longevity-inspired love tryst. Enjoy!

The backstory of why Ari Aster made "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons" is one of he most gratingly irritating young-people-in-film-school thing, and I'm annoyed whenever I forget about the movie, and re-read the wikipedia article about it.

I can explain the name “Talmage.” The blood boy and father are Mormon (more evidence of being absolute freaks), and the name is in reference to James E. Talmage, an apostle and author of a very important book about Jesus that Mormans revere.
