This week, we're reviewing Bugonia (2025), the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, Bugonia leans hard into paranoia, power, and absurdity, following two conspiracy-minded men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe may not be human. Listen as we break down what works, what doesn't, and whether Lanthimos' increasingly strange style still hits for us. Also, are Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons premiere tier actors of their generation? -- We will be reviewing requests from patrons once a month.

Classic Drop Dead Gorgeous Directed by Michael Patrick Jann Starring Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Kirsty Alley, and Denise Richards An annual beauty pageant in small-town Minnesota turns ridiculously competitive and ultimately chaotic in this biting comedy. Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst), the daughter of hard-drinking mom Annette (Ellen Barkin), and Becky Leeman (Denise Richards), who is motivated by her former beauty-queen mother, Gladys (Kirstie Alley), are among the top contenders in the event. As Amber, Becky, and other local girls prepare for the big day, bizarre incidents occur, leading up to an ending with a bang.
Rumor has it that this week's pick might be one of the best pictures of 2025 — and with the Oscars showing the horror genre so much love this year, we figured we'd repay the favor. On our latest episode, we're taking a hard look at the world and what's really going on with Bugonia (2025), the latest collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone, and Jesse Plemons. This flick asks some interesting questions about aliens, conspiracy theories, and power dynamics, and we're diving into it all on the newest Spooky Tuesday.

In our 150th episode, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield walk down the red carpet and into the astrological charts of Hollywood stars Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst. The Oscar nominees met on the set of Fargo and have been together ever since! First, Jesse's chart reveals an active Aries Sun, perfectly suited for his role as a headstrong football player in Friday Night Lights. However, a square from Neptune and a Full Moon in Libra suggest his identity can sometimes be hidden, favoring side-character roles. This same aspect grants him great sensitivity, refined by a harmonious Venus-Mars trine. In Kirsten's chart, a Leo Rising and Leo Moon destined her for fame from a young age. A square to her Taurus Sun, however, indicates the spotlight can feel uncomfortable, particularly regarding agency over her own body and sexuality. With a dreamy Venus in Pisces squared by Neptune, themes of naivety and sacrifice play large in her relationships, while a Mercury-Uranus opposition reveals a rebellious thinker and speaker. Together, their synastry is striking. Multiple positive aspects—including sextile Moons, Venuses, and Mercuries, plus trine Mars'—show they are excellent friends highly in tune with each other. The coveted Sun trine Moon and Venus trine Mars amplify feelings of mutuality, attraction, and complimentary energy. Yet, Pluto on the IC can dredge up deep-seated issues, and challenging Mars squares confirm this relationship isn't without its fights. Can the rest of their chart connections mitigate these tensions? Listen to discover what Venusian score this cosmic pair is nominated for! Book a Reading with us!

Episode 301 – Chair Company, Bagonia & the Anxiety of Being Extremely Online Matt and Bob are back “to pod” and this week they're double-featuring two very different brands of unhinged: Tim Robinson's The Chair Company on HBO and Yorgos Lanthimos' new black comedy Bagonia. First up, they break down why Chair Company's pilot might be an all-timer — deviled eggs, mall-restaurant discourse, wheelbarrow talk, and HR meetings about accidental upskirt eye contact — but why the season's tone, length, and “Scrooge porn” detours make it a tougher hang than I Think You Should Leave or Friendship. There's bouncer Mike, Wazy Wanes, giant wieners, and the eternal question: how many huge bits are too many huge bits? Then they head into the basement with Bagonia, digging into Jesse Plemons' beautifully weird performance, Emma Stone's corporate-speak alien CEO, and a story that sits somewhere between Ari Aster dread and Wes Anderson precision. They unpack conspiracy-brain vs. Big Pharma, torture in a foil-lined basement, corporate “no PTO, but take all the time you need” doublespeak, and an ending that somehow manages to combine telekinesis, exploding heads, and puffy tribunal aliens in a way that's both dark and oddly funny. Along the way, the guys shout out Jim Downey's late-career run, Will Tracy's Onion/Succession DNA, and close with a few rapid-fire watches on their radar: Train Dreams, J. Kelly, Task, Hamnet, and the Safdies' Christmas chaos ride Marty Supreme. If you've ever fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole, worked in a soul-sucking office, or just love watching deeply weird men completely derail their lives, this one's for you

Matt's Movie Lodgecast Episode Number 200 is upon us! For this, we picked the highly anticipated and prestigious film Bugonia from Greek god and director Yorgos Lanthimos. For this film, Yorgos has remade a 2003 South Korean movie called Save the Green Planet! Jesse Plemons plays a conspiracy theorist who, along with his cousin, abducts the CEO of the pharmaceutical company played by Emma Stone. Plemons' character delves into all sorts of alien conspiracy theories as Emma Stone's character tries to convince him otherwise. The film also stars Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone. It's another strange Yorgos vision with a wild ending that we'll spoil in this 200th episode!
“What happens when two beekeepers kidnap a pharmaceutical CEO because they think she's an alien?”That's the jaw-dropping premise of Bugonia, the film Ben Rogers watched on his flight—and the crew is here to break it down in this can't-miss episode of The Ben and Skin Show with Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.Ben's in-depth review of Bugonia—why Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone deliver Oscar-worthy performances, and how the shocking final five minutes flip the entire movie on its head. A fascinating discussion on internet conspiracy culture, deconstruction in film, and why this movie might be the most unpredictable ride of the year.

Josh is joined by Yorgos Lanthimos Correspondents Haley Jones and Elijah Howard for a double feature. First, they discuss Lanthimos' latest collaboration with Emma Stone, “Bugonia,” (Beginning-57:48) including how effective he was in telling a story set in something resembling our modern times including its commentary on male isolation and conspiracy theories, the performances from the cast that included Stone and Jesse Plemons, if the film's bold ending paid off and much more! Then, they talk about Lynn Ramsey's “Die My Love” (57:49-End) including its depiction of post-partum depression, if its non-linear style served the story well, Jennifer Lawrence's bold performance and much more!

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.

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.

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.

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.
