  • 0108: We Get Weird With Bugonia!

    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.
