After our Luca Guadagnino episode, we are continuing our coverage of director in their "pump 'em out" phase with Yorgos Lanthimos' third film in as many years — Bugonia. Once again re-teaming with his muse Emma Stone, Lanthimos delivers an uproarious, mean-spirited conspiracy thriller. We discuss director jail, an updated rundown of Lanthimos' filmography, and a review of the film.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThough Disney and Marvel Studios have remained tight-lipped and cagey concerning details around the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the Internet, and a few reputable trades, have collectively discerned that we apparently “know when the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming.” The prognosticators have deytermined the trailer will be attached to December's Avatar: Fire & Ash – big news, if true! Another unconfirmed, but believable rumor that has taken the Internet by storm concerns Marvel TV's Wonder Man series and its episode run times, which places the longest episode at 34 minutes and the shortest at 23 including credits. Per The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios has greenlit a Superman spinoff series focusing on standout Skyler Gisondo's Jimmy Olsen and coming to us from Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, the creators of Netflix's award-winning mockumentary American Vandal. The series is said to focus on Olsen and other Daily Planet reporters, (though Lois Lane and Clark Kent were conspicuously excluded,) as he tackles cases involving superpowered villains, with Season One featuring Flash rogue Gorilla Grodd as a big bad. Predator Badlands was the apex, ahem, predator at the box office last weekend debuting to $40 million domestically and doubling the haul internationally at $80 million worldwide. The film outperformed expectations, representing a much-needed shot of adrenaline in what has been a lethargic Fall box office, while also putting up bests for the franchise; beating out 2004's Alien Vs Predator and 2018's The Predator in the domestic and global arenas, respectively.Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña has been cast in season 3 of Netflix's One Piece and will play the character Portgas D. Ace.Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she and Emma Stone are developing a movie about the iconic Muppet Miss Piggy with Oh, Mary! writer and Tony winner Cole Escola penning the script, marking the character's first solo outing siynce Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.Netflix and Sony have finalized a deal for another “KPop Demon Hunters” movie, with plans to release the animated musical sequel in 2029.Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' starring Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late pop icon. The film from director Antoine Fuqua is set to hit theaters on April 24, 2026, after its release was delayed several times.Prime Video announced that season two of The Night Manager, starring Tom Hiddleston, will premiere on January 11. The second season comes back to Prime ten years after the first season debuted. Warner Brothers has set a release date for the next film in The Gremlins franchise of November 19th 2027. Steven Spielberg is returning to executive produce “Gremlins 3” while “Harry Potter” filmmaker Chris Columbus is set to direct and produce. Disney has released the first official trailer for season 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, which begins streaming on December 10th. In gaming news, Skydance Games is once again pushing the release for the much-anticipated “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” video game from May 2026 to November 2026. Rockstar Games also announced that they would be delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 once again, this time from May 2026 to November 2026 as well. Ryan Reynolds and Amazon MGM have teamed up to develop a remake of Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, a 1974 action comedy that starred Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. Reynolds is eyeing to star in the adaptation and is also collaborating on the script with writers Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson, a writing team who worked on season four of comedic crime show Fargo. Shane Reid, who edited Reynolds' Deadpool & Wolverine, will make his directorial debut with the project.

Yorgos Lanthimos has a new movie dropping and this time Emma Stone isn't naked. Bugonia is a solid flick that relies heavily on the actors and light on the plot, so much so I was interested in how the movie interested me so much. Jesse Plemmons plays Teddy, a tin foil hat guy who listens to too much Joe Rogan and is convinced Michelle (Stone) is an alien who wants to eliminate the human race, one bee colony at a time. Is Teddy nuts or is Michelle not who the world thinks she is? Lanthimos delivers the goods with this remake of a 2003 Korean flick that had me guessing till the end.If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

Mike and Kelsey are back to recap the best and worst movies they saw in October. Mike shares why he is worried about his mental state as he has found himself rooting for the villains in movies lately. Kelsey shares what book to movie adaption was a total cringe fest. Mike also shares what scene made him unexpectedly emotional. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Bugonia starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. It’s about two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth. Mike talks about why Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons performances were next level, whether it was worth it to see in 35 mm and why he is okay with overhyping this movie. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Send Help starring Rachel McAdams. She plays an overworked and unappreciated employee belittled by her boss, played by Dylan O’Brien. The feuding co-workers crash-land on a deserted island and have to work together or die trying. Mike talks about each of their biggest movies and resurgences, Sam Rami's signature style and why this wouldn't be a nightmare if it happened to him.

Min 5: SIEMPRE ES INVIERNO (3,5 estrellas) Protagonizada por David Verdaguer (Miguel), Amaia Salamanca (Marta) e Isabelle Renauld (Olga), la nueva película de David Trueba adapta su propia novela Blitz y se instala en un invierno europeo que cala hasta el hueso: una ruptura súbita en un congreso de arquitectura en Lieja deja a Miguel en suspensión emocional, hasta que la inesperada aparición de Olga —una mujer mayor, culta y de una serenidad magnética— abre una grieta de luz en el hielo. Min 15: SUBSUELO (3 estrellas) En su última propuesta, Fernando Franco da un paso más en el terreno del thriller psicológico con Subsuelo, donde los mellizos Eva (Julia Martínez) y Fabián (Diego Garisa) se encuentran al borde de la edad adulta y, durante una noche de verano, quedan implicados en un accidente cuya naturaleza exacta permanece velada —solo ellos y su madre Mabel conocen la verdad. Min 21 REVERSIÓN (2 estrellas) En Reversión, el thriller psicológico de Jacob Santana, Jaime Lorente, Manuel Vega y Belén Rueda sostienen un relato inquietante que se abre con la desaparición de David, el hermano mayor, y su enigmático regreso diecinueve días después: idéntico por fuera, irreconocible por dentro. La película convierte el hogar en una trampa emocional donde cada gesto y cada silencio parecen esconder una verdad que nadie quiere pronunciar. Santana apuesta por una narrativa contenida, casi clínica, en la que la sospecha se filtra por las grietas de una familia desbordada. Min 26. LEO & LOU (3 estrellas) Julia Sulleiro y Isak Férriz lideran Leo & Lou, ópera prima de Carlos Solano, una road movie luminosa y emotiva en la que una niña huérfana y muda que huye del centro de acogida se cruza con un inconformista solitario: juntos emprenden un viaje hacia una competición de pesca que funciona como brújula del duelo y la memoria, entre humor tierno, diálogos medidos y mucho lenguaje de gestos; el film, con Maggie Civantos, María Pujalte, Manuel Manquiña y Marta Larralde, recupera el pulso del cine de aventuras familiar ochentero mientras recorre paisajes gallegos con una puesta en escena sobria y cálida que apuesta por la conexión humana por encima del subrayado. Min 28. PREDATOR BADLANDS (2,5 estrellas) La película protagonizada por Elle Fanning (interpretando a Thia) y Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi (como el joven Depredador Dek) presenta una nueva vuelta de tuerca al universo de Predator: en lugar de centrarse en la caza del Depredador por humanos, la historia lo sitúa como protagonista de su propia odisea en un planeta remoto llamado Genna, donde debe demostrar su valía frente a su clan y al adversario definitivo. Min 34: BUGONIA (3 estrellas) En Bugonia, Yorgos Lanthimos vuelve a su territorio más ácido y perturbador con Jesse Plemons y Emma Stone al frente, encarnando a dos ejecutivos que, convencidos de que una influyente gurú mediática manipula a la población, deciden secuestrarla para “liberar al mundo” de su influencia, sin prever que el cautiverio revelará quién manipula realmente a quién. Con su habitual mezcla de humor negro, violencia contenida y una lógica casi ritual, Lanthimos construye un thriller psicológico retorcido donde la sátira sobre el liderazgo, la fe en las élites y el delirio conspiranoico se entrelaza con la incomodidad moral propia de su filmografía. Min 40: DOS FORAJIDOS (2,5 estrellas) En esta nueva entrega del wéstern, los protagonistas son Alec Baldwin como Harland Rust, Josh Hopkins y Travis Fimmel, encargados de encarnar los distintos matices de una historia de redención, violencia heredada y rivalidad en el salvaje Oeste. El veterano forajido Rust se entera de que su nieto ha sido condenado a la horca y decide emprender un arriesgado viaje hacia la frontera para sacarlo de prisión y huir con él, mientras ambos son perseguidos por un mariscal y un despiadado cazarrecompensas. Min 43: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON VICTOR MANUEL El cantante asturiano ha sido uno de los invitados estrella en la 15 edición del Festival del Cine y la Palabra (CIBRA) de Toledo. El preestreno del documental "Solo pienso en ti", del director alcazareño Hugo de la Riva y auspiciado por CMM, trajo a Toledo la presencia de Victor Manuel y de los auténticos protagonistas de la historia, Antonio y Mariluz. El acto estuvo presentado por el director de "Estamos de Cine", Roberto Lancha, que aprovechó la ocasión para preguntar al legendario cantautor por la película de su vida. Min 45: BSO "EDÉN", otra sorpresa de Hans Zimmer (3 estrellas) En la banda sonora de Eden, Hans Zimmer entrega uno de sus trabajos más atmosféricos y sensoriales de los últimos años, alejándose de los grandes bloques orquestales para construir un tejido sonoro que respira a la vez peligro, misterio y una espiritualidad quebrada. Zimmer articula el score como un viaje emocional paralelo al del personaje de Jude Law: líneas de sintetizador casi submarinas, percusiones tensas de respiración corta y cuerdas suspendidas que nunca terminan de resolverse, como si todo estuviera a punto de desmoronarse.
Sean and Amanda are joined by Rob Mahoney to cover a pair of new releases, but before diving in, they react to two new movie trailers for ‘Michael' and ‘The Testament of Ann Lee' and the news that a ‘Miss Piggy' movie from Cole Escola, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emma Stone is in development (0:53). Then, they unpack Guillermo del Toro's ‘Frankenstein,' starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. They talk through the divisive reception to the film thus far, explain why the second half of the film is much stronger than the first, and hypothesize what its awards chances are (9:26). Finally, they cover Lynne Ramsay's new psychological thriller, ‘Die My Love,' starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, which they all thoroughly enjoyed and view as Lawrence's best performance of her career (57:53).

TGIF! This week on Everything Is Content... a viral article, chaotic reality TV and rumours of yet another celebrity face lift.First up, if you've not read Chanté Joseph's mega viral Vogue article titled Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? then you've definitely seen the discourse. Julia Fox has weighed in (she says it is) and now it's our turn. We ask: what did we make of the piece, do we think this is an IRL phenomenon or strictly an online shift, and what do we think is behind it?Secondly we're back in LA LA land for a brand new series of Selling Sunset. Ruchira finished it in 3 days, Beth in 2 and we're all obsessed. We discuss the inherent toxicity of reality TV, this series' houses and whether we like seeing behind the curtain on these kind of shows.And last but not least, rumours of cosmetic surgery have been swirling around Emma Stone for the last few months and people are feeling a type of way about it. But is that fair? Can we reasonably feel disappointed when our fav female stars decide to opt out of growing older naturally or is it simply none of our business?Thank you SO much for listening this week and every week. Pleeease could you gift us a review on your podcast player app so other people can find us? We adore everyone who has already. Love O, R, B xoxoxIn partnership with Cue Podcasts.------This week Beth was not really loving Think Again by Jacqueline Wilson (though she remains a lifelong devotee and fan), Oenone was loving Zadie Smith's appearance on Adam Buxton's podcast and Ruchira was loving Rosalía's interview on Popcast and season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.The New York Times - Shibboleth Vogue - Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?Substack - is having a boyfriend embarrassing now? yes and that's why we're hiding them Spotify - Call Her Daddy x Spencer Pratt Substack - I Feel Sad About Emma Stone's New Face Timestamps:15:00: Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?41:41 Selling Sunset57:37: Emma Stone's face Hosted on Acast.

Tras la Fiesta del Cine y con las primeras nominaciones de los Forqué, la cartelera se llena de distopías, sátiras y ciencia ficción.

Η ώρα έφτασε για την κυκλοφορία της νέας ταινίας του Γιώργου Λάνθιμου. Μετά την πρεμιέρα τη Βενετία και το άνοιγμα των φετινών Νυχτών Πρεμιέρας, η Bugonia (Βουγονία) κυκλοφορεί στα ελληνικά σινεμά και το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες είναι εδώ για να αναλύσει. Η Ιωσηφίνα κι ο Θοδωρής συζητούν χωρίς spoilers για τη νέα ταινία του έλληνα σκηνοθέτη και για το ρόλο της μες στο έργο του. Μπόνους: Στη διάρκεια του επεισοδίου, ακούμε κι από τον ίδιο τον Γιώργο Λάνθιμο καθώς μιλά για την διαδικασία προσαρμογής από το ορίτζιναλ κορεάτικο φιλμ, για τις θεματικές της ταινίας και για αυτά που έχει να πει για τον κόσμο στον οποίο ζούμε. (Η συνέντευξη πραγματοποιήθηκε στο πλαίσιο των Νυχτών Πρεμιέρας.) Τι απολαύσαμε περισσότερο στο Bugonia και πώς είναι διαφορετικό από άλλες δουλειές του Λάνθιμου; Τι κρατά και τι βελτιώνει από το πρωτότυπο φιλμ, και γιατί ήθελε ο Λάνθιμος να γυρίσει για πρώτη φορά μια ταινία που δεν ξεκίνησε από τον ίδιο σαν πρότζεκτ; Τι κάνει πάλι η Emma Stone και γιατί αξίζει ξανά μια υποψηφιότητα Όσκαρ; Και τι μοναδικό και σπάνιο θα συμβεί σε περίπτωση που όντως πραγματοποιηθεί αυτή η υποψηφιότητα; Πόσο καλός είναι ο Jesse Plemons μια χρονιά μετά το βραβείο ερμηνείας στις Κάννες για την προηγούμενη ταινία του Λάνθιμου; Τι λέει η Bugonia για τον κόσμο μας σήμερα – και τι λέει ο Λάνθιμος για αυτόν; Συνδυάζεται η απόγνωση με το χιούμορ; Πώς κολλάει με όλα αυτά η Chappell Roan; Και πώς όλα αυτά οδηγούν στην φοβερή τρίτη πράξη της ταινίας; Αυτά και πολλά ακόμη στο POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας, σε ένα ξεχωριστό επεισόδιο όπου ακούμε και από τον ίδιο τον Γιώργο Λάνθιμο.

The new conspiracy-laden film ‘Bugonia' has been described by critics and audiences alike as “bleak.” But the comedy writer who penned the script doesn't see it that way. In this episode, Will Tracy shares how he went from ‘The Onion's' editor-in-chief to winning Emmys for ‘Last Week Tonight' and ‘Succession' to writing the mind-bending script for Yorgos Lanthimos' latest collaboration with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. He discusses ‘Bugonia's' very 2025 political message and unpacks what could be considered a deeply cynical ending that he finds oddly hopeful about the future of the planet—if not humanity. Tracy also explains why he found writing for John Oliver so miserable, how he managed to identify with Kendall Roy on ‘Succession,' and what it feels like to act opposite Jeremy Strong.

The battle for Warner Bros. Discovery is seeing a new champion enter the ring, with Netflix making some moves to put their own bid in for the studio's properties. According to Reuters, the streaming pioneer engaged with investment bank Moelis & Co. in order to prepare an offer. Ironically, this is the same bank that worked with David Ellison at Skydance to take over Paramount whose first bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery was rejected. It was the worst weekend at the box office this year, with ticket sales coming in at just $52.4 million. This also makes it the lowest-grossing Halloween weekend in 31 years, excluding theater closures due to COVID in 2020. While new film Regretting You took in a respectable $50 million, Black Phone 2 really has the crown from the weekend having now brought in $104 million globally - another huge win for horror this year.

Bugonia stars Emma Stone as a high-powered CEO who's kidnapped by conspiracy theorists, one of whom is played by Jesse Plemons. The conflict grows more and more complex and intense — and, given that this is a Yorgos Lanthimos movie, it gets 1) very dark; and 2) very weird.

Sean and Amanda kick off the show with a brand-new version of their Best Picture Power Rankings (1:43). Then, they cover Yorgos Lanthimos's new movie, ‘Bugonia,' starring Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone. They explain why this is their preferred “flavor” of Lanthimos, crown it as a new type of paranoid thriller, and praise Plemons's and Stone's incredibly sincere and sympathetic performances (21:31). Later, Lanthimos joins Sean to talk through the difficulties and benefits of shooting the film with a large format in VistaVision, what interests him and intrigues him as a storyteller, and why he has anxiety about the future regarding our inability to communicate with one another (1:01:49).
