Bugonia

In this episode we discuss Bugonia directed by the Greek Director Yorgos Lanthimos. The scfi/dark comedy follows Jesse Plemons as a conspiracy theorist who is convinced that the CEO (played by Emma Stone) of a major company is in fact an Alien. Not just any alien, a a member of an alien race that is actively trying to destroy earth. The plan is to kidnap her and force her to admit to her that she is actually an alien, then have her arrange a meeting between Jesse Plemons and her superiors so he can attempt to negotiate the aliens leaving Earth alone. What could possibly go wrong? Well the answer is just about everything. As with all Lanthimos films, this one is a wild and surreal ride into the unexpected. Bugonia is a remake of the Korean film, Save the Green Planet!
