We’re heading down to the basement to cover ourselves in lotion and discuss the existential dread of Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia. But before we kidnap any CEOs, we simply must discuss the return of Rachel Weisz to The Mummy franchise and Jennifer Lawrence feeding Robert Pattinson out of her garbage can.On this week's date, we start with a heavy pop culture debrief. We break down the incredible news that Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are producing a Miss Piggy movie written by Cole Escola, and we obsess over J-Law and Robert Pattinson's chaotic friendship—specifically the time she fed him leftovers she’d already thrown away. Plus, we correct the record on Stranger Things hitting theaters and celebrate the return of the OG cast for a new Mummy movie directed by the Ready or Not team.Then, we get into Bugonia. After a quick rant about the logistical nightmare of the London Film Festival, we dive into Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest mind-bender. We discuss Teddy’s anti-capitalist conspiracy theories, the tragedy of Don blindly following along, and the hilarity of Emma Stone using corporate buzzwords like "let's focus on solutions, not blame" while tied to a bedframe. We also cover the gross lack of protein in their spaghetti, the "is she/isn't she" alien debate, and that jaw-dropping ending that wipes out humanity with a single pop.Bugonia Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major pharmaceutical company, convinced she is an alien intent on destroying Earth.
