Bugonia: Is Emma Stone an Alien Queen or Just a CEO? (Spoiler: It’s Complicated)

from Should I Watch That? · host Janet k. & Rachel F.

This week on Should I Watch That?, Janet and Rachel dive into the sticky, paranoid world of Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest sci-fi black comedy, Bugonia. We’re breaking down the chaotic energy between Jesse Plemons (our favorite unhinged conspiracy theorist) and Emma Stone (the ice-cold corporate girlboss who might literally be a bug). Is this a sharp satire on how the internet broke our brains, or just two hours of screaming in a basement? In this episode: The Vibe Check: Does this beat Poor Things on the weird-o-meter? The Plot: Why kidnapping your boss to save the bees is (probably) a bad HR move. The Verdict: Is the bleak ending brilliant or just a buzzkill? Should you watch it? Tune in to find out if this one is worth the squeeze or if it should’ve stayed in the hive.
