About this listen
Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone team up once again for Bugonia, delivering another dose of beautifully strange filmmaking — intense, darkly funny, and unmistakably their style. It’s gripping, it’s bold, and it’s filled with standout performances… even if a few ideas simmer a little too long.
In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: the magnetic performances, Lanthimos’ bizarre humor, the unsettling world-building, and the moments where the themes feel more overcooked than sharp. We dive into why the film still stands out as one of 2025’s most distinctive releases, even if it doesn’t quite reach the heights of their previous collaborations.
Join us as we explore a movie that’s mesmerizing, offbeat, and undeniably Lanthimos — a cinematic feast with just a bit too much on the plate.
