Bugonia & The Baltimorons

from At The Movies · host Dragon Podcasts

"Bugonia" is the fourth collaboration between director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor Emma Stone. If you've seen any of their earlier films, such as "Poor Things," you know that strange is the norm for this duo. HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano share their mixed reaction to the sci fi-themed "Bugonia" in this podcast episode. They're careful to avoid any plot spoilers, but it's safe to assume that weird things lie ahead. Marie and Mike also discuss "The Baltimorons," whose co-writer and star, Michael Strassner, grew up in Baltimore and returned there with director Jay Duplass to make this comedy about an alcoholic improv comedian looking to sober up and maybe even find romance. Marie loves this film and Mike does not, so tune in and listen to them spar.
