Bugonia is at the pinnacle of its genre Jett Loe believes, but to say what that genre is would be to spoil a stunning aspect of the picture. With that in mind Jett asks that you listen to this short episode only after watching the film. To contact Jett and Gareth go to:

info_outlineWait, are you telling us the new musical smash Wicked contains seeds of transcendence that can help folks live a better life? Also, why does the film look so awful? In this, (as over-stuffed as Wicked), episode, critics Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins get into the magnificent and terribleness of this new film, address Star Wars epic Attack of the Clones, yearn for the colors of 1938’s Adventures of Robin Hood and delve deep into the ways we live our life and the Jungian tension of opposites. We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to look for us in the western sky.
