Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal face off in "Eddington." Credit: A24 Comedy is tragedy plus time. There may be a day when critics look back on Ari Aster's COVID-19 comedy Eddington with kinder eyes.

Eddington hits theaters on Friday, July 18, however, if you’d rather relive the trauma of 2020 in the comfort of your own home (a very on-brand move, given the subject matter), there may be good news on the horizon.

The two face off in Ari Aster's 'Eddington'—a heightened black comedy neo-western that finds them re-living 2020, battling anxiety, and Pascal "smacking the sh*t out of" Phoenix.
