Yorgos Lanthimos' fourth collaboration with Emma Stone yields a darkly comedic thriller about two conspiracy theorists who kidnap a CEO, determined to reveal the truth that she's an alien from Andromeda. We've all at least considered it.

While funny and absurd, Bugonia is also tragic and misanthropic, and we're unconvinced that its ending is either earned or fitting, despite Mike's insistence that he's seen it coming for weeks. We consider the film's messaging, aesthetics, and tone; what its stars bring to it and how they differ; what the title might mean; and how a comparison with Alex Garland's Ex Machina reveals the lacks in the storytelling here. We pick at Bugonia left, right and centre, but despite our complaints, it showed us a very entertaining time, and there's a lot about it to recommend.

Recorded on 9th November 2025.

Episode 92: Bugonia, The Running Man, Frankenstein and Interview with Director Daniel Masciari

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!

Kritikarti Reviews: Bugonia by Vikesh Godhwani

In this episode we come to terms with reestablishing one's theatrical home-base, while discussing some new-ish releases. We then dissect how the algorithm plays a way bigger role in the streaming role than you might've thought. Finally we "spin the reel" to and get into some fun mailbag nonsense. Defy the algo and join us!

In 2025 Johnnie Burn has been busy. As supervising sound editor and re-recording mixer on some of the most talked about films of the year, he has jumped between working on the emotional roller coaster Hamnet, the incredibly tense Bugonia and the terrifying 28 Years Later. Three very different films that are all lead by director's with very specific visions. Johnnie takes us on a spoiler free journey, to tell us how he was able to tackle these films and find the sonic voice of each one. _________

Tonebenders is a Sound Design podcast dedicated to covering the worlds of sound editing, field recording and audio post production for film, television and gaming.  Through interviews and experiments we delve into everything from foley to plugins.  Check us out at www.tonebenderspodcast.com

We write reviews not to please, but to engage, challenge, and push artistic discourse forward. We don’t do fluff. We don’t do safe. We do critical, honest, and informed writing that respects the work but never sugarcoats it.

The only film podcasters ever to do the damn thing...

"I have this romantic idea of the movies as a conjunction of place, people and experiences, all different for each of us, a context in which individual and separate beings try to commune, where the individual experience overlaps with the communal and where that overlapping is demarcated by how we measure the differing responses between ourselves and the rest of the audience: do they laugh when we don’t (and what does that mean?); are they moved when we feel like laughing (and what does that say about me or the others) etc. The idea behind this podcast is to satiate the urge I sometimes have when I see a movie alone – to eavesdrop on what others say. What do they think? How does their experience compare to mine? Snippets are overhead as one leaves the cinema and are often food for thought. A longer snippet of such an experience is what I hope to provide: it’s two friends chatting immediately after a movie. It’s unrehearsed, meandering, slightly convoluted, certainly enthusiastic, and well informed, if not necessarily on all aspects a particular work gives rise to, certainly in terms of knowledge of cinema in general and considerable experience of watching different types of movies and watching movies in different types of ways. It’s not a review. It’s a conversation." - José Arroyo.

"I just like the sound of my own voice." - Michael Glass.

Two guys. One likes beer. Both like movies. Both things get reviewed.

Matt's Movie Lodgecast™ is a weekly film review podcast of current theatrical and VOD releases hosted by Lodgemaster Matt, along with his fellow Lodgers and co-hosts, "resident hothead" Lucas & Trickster Brother Bischke.

Mario Ponzio and Tom Nolan have each made a list of their 100 most pivotal films. Each week they will discuss another pair and break-down how they influenced them as film-goers and as people until they get to number 1.  They will also tackle just released, under-the-radar, and bad films, all while drinking different tasty local beers every week. Films, Beers, Talking.
