Sony’s animation hot streak continues with KPop Demon Hunters — a movie that fully embraces its wild premise and runs with it. Vibrant animation, fun characters, and just the right level of chaos make this one an easy crowd-pleaser and a film that sticks with you more than you might expect.

In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: the slick animation style, the confident tone, the surprisingly strong story, and why this blend of action, humor, and music clicks so well. We also talk about the film’s franchise potential and why Sony’s willingness to take big creative swings is paying off in animation right now.

Join us as we unpack one of 2025’s most entertaining animated releases — colorful, chaotic, and packed with personality.

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.

Edgar Wright takes a big swing with The Running Man — a frantic, stylish reimagining loaded with spectacle, satire, and one of Glen Powell’s most magnetic performances yet. It doesn’t stick every landing, but the ride getting there? An absolute blast.

In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: Wright’s hyper-kinetic direction, the action-comedy rhythm, the world-building, and the way the third act hits a few bumps on the way out. We dig into why the movie still succeeds despite its stumbles and why Powell feels like a full-blown movie star in this role.

Join us as we unpack a remake that actually feels fresh — fast on its feet, fun as hell, and just messy enough to keep the conversation interesting.
