Conspiracy theories appear to be on the rise these past few years as seemingly everything is a contrived plot by the rich and powerful to trick the general public into…something. Bugonia explores that idea to the extreme while still maintaining Yorgos Lanthimos’s dark comedic sensibilities and sharp direction. What happens when someone who’s deep in the rabbit hole decides to enact a plan to prove their theory by any means necessary? Turns out it doesn’t go quite as expected. So put on your tinfoil hats and inject those nondescript chemicals (and our episode) directly into your veins as we discuss the movie, plus corporate apology tours (looking at you, Burger King), mailing live insects to your friends, the canon event that is Movie 43, and so much more.

Bugonia stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, Alicia Silverstone, and J. Carmen Galindez Barrera. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
