Bugonia and Familiar Touch (Movie Squad Podcast #511)

They walk among us, and by ‘they’ we of course mean Movie Squad co-hosts Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo. After a week apart, Tristan and Simon reunite with Brekky host Pam Boland for two new reviews! First up, Tristan reviews Bugonia, the latest collaborative freak-out between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone, also starring Jesse Plemons as a conspiracy theorist who kidnaps Stone’s high-powered CEO after suspecting she’s actually an alien. Then, Simon reviews Sarah Friedland’s delicate and dance-like coming of (old) age movie, Familiar Touch, starring Kathleen Chalfant as an octogenarian woman adjusting to the new routines and rhythms of an elder care facility. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat about Tristan’s Spooktober challenge, and some of the best and scariest movies the Squad watched in the lead-up to Halloween. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam! And find out more about Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas on the last Friday of every month here. Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas, WA’s premiere independent cinemas, bringing the best film content and cinematic events to Perth.
