25 movies and 0 hits: it's been a particularly rough quarter for Hollywood. But as I discuss with the cultural commentator David Masciotra, it's actually been a pretty strong quarter in terms of movie quality. From Paul Thomas Anderson's “One Battle After Another” and Jennifer Lawrence's astonishing performance in “Die My Love” to a glitteringly bald Emma Stone in “Bugonia” and Ethan Coen's “Honey Don't!”, Hollywood is producing high quality, relevant material. One problem, however, is that Gen Z has abandoned cinema. Another is that Hollywood's penchant for movies dominated by memorably uncompromising female leads like Stone and Lawrence might be out of step with a broader culture still imprisoned by a nostalgia for a dominant masculinity. Perhaps that's why “One Battle After Another”, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as a pathetically redundant Sixties radical, is the one hit of the season. And it may also be why the excellent Springsteen biopic, “Deliver Me From Nowhere”, featuring a clueless Bruce trying to find himself by recording “Nebraska”, was such a flop. No, men don't matter, either in Hollywood or in life. Even when they do. One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson) The season's sole commercial success ($70 million) works because it satirizes everyone. DiCaprio's incompetent ‘60s radical provides comic relief, but it's Chase Infinity's cynical Gen Z daughter who steals the film (even if Gen Z'ers have given up going to the movies). Anderson's Pynchon adaptation makes absurdity central to American identity, both then and now—the villainous Christmas Adventures Club in golf attire perfectly capturing MAGA's ridiculousness.Die My Love (Josephine Decker) Jennifer Lawrence delivers an astonishing performance confirming she's among Hollywood's greatest actors. The film died at the box office despite critical praise—perhaps because audiences resistant to female-dominated narratives won't show up even for exceptional work like this. Her assertiveness and complexity highlights exactly what's missing from contemporary male performances.Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos) Emma Stone continues her fearless run in this cultish, visually striking film. Her performance demonstrates creative risk-taking unavailable to today's male leads. Jesse Plemons plays the archetypal basement-dwelling conspiracy theorist—masculine id of our internet age. Its commercial failure suggests audiences aren't ready for cinema that interrogates rather than celebrates American mythology.Honey Don't! (Ethan Coen) Coen's lesbian B-movie homage to film noir, which David Masciotra loved, deserved better than its catastrophic box office. Margaret Qualley's detective becomes a feminist hero fighting idiotic patriarchy without losing entertainment value. Set in Bakersfield and focused on religious hypocrisy, it feels both familiar and innovative. Its death proves even clever, relevant films can't entice Gen Z'ers back to the movies.Deliver Me From Nowhere (James Mangold) The season's most revealing failure. The film captures Springsteen's Faustian bargain—trading artistic integrity for superstardom, making “Nebraska” his final serious work before “Born in the USA”'s commercial conquest. It depicts fierce masculine anxiety through Bruce's mentally ill, violent father and his own depression. Yet it bored audiences with its introspective approach—ultimate proof that even films about masculine crisis can't reach audiences imprisoned by nostalgia for an imaginary American masculinity that never existed.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt delve back into the Predator-verse! On this adventure, we eschew the Predator trope of the hunter villain, for a story about a honor, redemption, and cliche.

After a year-long hiatus, Overlapping Dialogue is officially back—ringing in the triple digits with our 101st episode! We ease back into the swing of things with a double feature that pits small-town rage against cosmic emotional reckoning: Martin McDonagh's bruising Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) and Ari Aster's latest descent into existential dread, the enigmatic and horrific satire of modern life, Eddington (2025). But first, our Blue Plate Special returns with a fresh batch of chatter on the latest film news and releases: we unpack the teaser trailer for Michael, the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic; lament the canceled Ben Solo Star Wars project that might've been directed by Steven Soderbergh; and offer capsule reviews of recent releases Roofman, Blue Moon, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, and Bugonia.

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.

This week on Barely Cinematic, we descend into the beautifully unhinged universe of Bugonia. A film where conspiracy, delusion, and extraterrestrial paranoia hold hands and skip into the void. Jesse Plemons stars as a man absolutely convinced that a powerful CEO (played by Emily Stone) is actually an alien disguised as a human. Naturally, the only logical next step is kidnapping, interrogation, and an existential meltdown.

Die beiden sehr unterschiedlichen Filme in dieser Episode haben eine Gemeinsamkeit. Sowohl die Tragikomödie "Bugonia" als auch der Nuklearkriegs-Thriller "A House of Dynamite" erzählen von den Verwerfungen und Bedrohungen unserer Zeit. Im neuen Werk von Arthouse-Darling Yorgos Lanthimos geht es um Verschwörungstheorien, die zur Gewalt führen. Ein Schwurbler-Duo entführt in "Bugonia" die Vorsitzende eines Pharma-Konzerns, die sie für einen Alien halten. Emma Stone und Jesse Plemons brillieren. "A House of Dynamite" präsentiert auf spannend-verstörende Weise das Szenario eines Dritten Weltkriegs. Die Oscar-Gewinnerin Kathryn Bigelow zeigt die Momente vor dem Einschlag einer Atombombe in den USA aus verschiedenen Perspektiven. Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs diskutieren über Form, Inhalt und Besetzung beider höchst sehenswerten Filme, Spoiler inklusive.

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.

Yorgos Lanthimos can be counted on for a weird, wild time, and this time around he's back with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, plus newcomer Aidan Delbis, comedian Stavros Halkias, and even a bit of Alicia Silverstone.

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. Yorgos Lanthimos' new film Bugonia, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, is sitting at a small $11.1 million globally after breaking into more theaters.Both Scream 7 and Stranger Things Season 5 released trailers recently.

Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons absolutely crush it in this slow-burn psychological drama. “Bugonia” thrives on ambiguity — you're never quite sure what's real, what's symbolic, or what's just unraveling in the characters' minds. It's haunting, strange, and deeply mysterious in all the best ways. A film that demands patience but rewards it big time. A slow burn that beautifully pays off. #Bugonia #EmmaStone #JessePlemons #MovieReview #FilmTwitter #PsychologicalDrama #A24Vibes #SlowBurnCinema #MustWatch

For this week's main podcast review, Ema Sasic, Will Mavity, and guest Ben Langford join me to discuss the latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos, "Bugonia," starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone. With a screenplay by Will Tracy, the film is an English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film "Save the Green Planet!" by Jang Joon-hwan that had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its compelling performances, pitch-black comedic writing, and otherworldly direction from Lanthimos. What did we think of it, though? Put on your conspiracy theory hats and tune in as we discuss these elements, its themes, tone, messaging, craftsmanship, awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

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. Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
