From wiki: “ Bug is a 2006 psychological thriller film directed by William Friedkin and written by Tracy Letts , based on his 1996 play of the same name . The film stars Ashley Judd , Michael Shannon , Lynn Collins , Brían F. O'Byrne , and Harry Connick Jr. Bug debuted at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival before being purchased by Lionsgate , which released the film the following year in May 2007. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its intensity, directing, acting, and take on paranoia , but were polarized about its writing, in particular the film's ending. Friedkin and Letts collaborated again as director and writer on the 2011 film Killer Joe .” NEXT WEEK: Singapore Sling (1990) Jon Nix’s website: https://www.jonnixfilm.com/ Jon Nix’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonnixfilm Jon Nix’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonnixfilm/ Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/ Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/ Joshua's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/ Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel
