Episode 580 – Nuremberg / Bugonia / It Was Just An Accident

Welcome to the Moviewallas Podcast! Moviewallas is on YouTube! This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi return with a compelling mix of postwar courtroom drama, experimental storytelling, and genre-defying surprises. In this episode: NUREMBERG The team discusses a new dramatization of the landmark post-WWII trials. With its historical weight and moral complexity, this film brings justice, memory, and power dynamics into sharp cinematic focus. Also here’s the link Yazdi mentioned: BUGONIA Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, this darkly comic fable imagines a world where chaos, ritual, and bees intersect in deeply unsettling (and hilarious) ways. Known for The Lobster and The Favourite, Lanthimos brings his signature absurdist lens to a strange and layered narrative that’s anything but conventional. The hosts unpack its themes, visuals, and what makes it unlike anything else this year. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT The latest film from Jafar Panahi explores the blurred lines between responsibility, perception, and truth in modern Iran. As always, Panahi brings a deeply human lens to a deceptively simple premise. The Moviewallas delve into his signature mix of realism and quiet provocation — no spoilers, just thoughtful conversation.
