About this episode
Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. descend into the twisted world of Bugonia, the absurdist black comedy from director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) starring Academy Award winner Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Alicia Silverstone, and newcomer Aidan Delbis. Ray and Tre'vell wrestle with the movie's abstract cultural commentary on late-stage capitalism, online radicalization, and whether the true "alien" is the corporate overlord or the paranoid extremist. Does Lanthimos's latest offer a shocking, satirical masterpiece or does the film get lost in its own unhinged premise? Tune in for their verdict: is this challenging watch a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts share what's giving them good vibes this week and play the Black Cinema Games!
