    FMC 239: Bugonia — Did Yorgos Lanthimos Just Make a Masterpiece?

    Did Yorgos Lanthimos just make the wildest sci-fi comedy of the decade?

    In Episode 239 of Filmmaker Commentary, Reginald and Casey dive deep into Bugonia, the unhinged new film starring Emma Stone as a ruthless pharmaceutical CEO and Jesse Plemons as the conspiracy-obsessed beekeeper who kidnaps her.

    We break down Lanthimos' transition into sci-fi, Plemons' terrifyingly sympathetic performance, and that absolutely jaw-dropping ending. Is Michelle really an Andromedan alien intent on destroying humanity, or is Teddy simply a victim of rural American paranoia? We unpack the cinematography, the directing choices, and what this film actually says about the human condition.

    FMC 237 : Sinners Written and Directed by Ryan Coogler

    This movie has already broken the record for the most Oscar nominations; this is not by accident! This is my 3rd time watching this movie, and it gets better every time. Worth a watch, it's a movie that has some extra sauce on it.

    What We've Been Watching Episode 001

    Our popular segment from Filmmaker Commentary called "What we've been watching" began to grow in length and kind of started to become its own show. So we have given that segment its own show. Even though we will still have a shorter version of that segment on Filmmaker Commentary. This version allows us to give it the room it deserves. Let us know what you think!
