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.
