261. Bugonia, Plur1bus, Oh, Mary!, Frankenstein, and Stranger Things Season 5 Sneak Peek
All Pop, No Culture
The gang’s all here, for the second week in a row! This week they cover Bugonia, Plur1bus, Oh, Mary!, Frankenstein, and the Stranger Things Season 5 sneak peek. As the show starts, Kevin immediately passes off the reins to Lauren, who saw Bugonia in theaters this week. It’s another Yorgos Lanthimos/Emma Stone joint and it’s as weird as you’d expect. And if Lauren is to be believed, possibly weirder. The story follows two less than brilliant men who kidnap a powerful CEO, played by Stone. They are convinced she’s an alien and the madness ensues from there. It’s a bizarre...

If horror is your thing, this is an absolute must-watch. Taking a...

As you’d expectm the film takes some liberties with...
