Bugonia, the darkly comic thriller from director Yorgos Lanthimos, has arrived in Malaysian theatres. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, it follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap a powerful pharmaceutical CEO, convinced she is secretly an alien plotting to destroy Earth - and things only get stranger from there. We talk about how zany the film gets, then on Take 2, we ask you: What's the craziest movie you've ever watched?

Bugonia + Craziest Movies You've Seen

In this episode, we’re reviewing two very different movies that play in the same genre. First up, what’s been touted as the funniest Pixar movie ever, Hoppers tells the story of Mabel, an animal lover, whose mind is transferred into a lifelike robotic beaver to communicate with animals and save their habitat from human destruction - but along the way, she kinda sorta starts an uprising. Then, we have Project Hail Mary, adapted from Andy Weir’s novel (of The Martian fame), which tells an unusual story of human-extraterrestrial friendship, between two space travellers, each on their own missions. And then on Take Two, we return to an old favourite: What are the best sci-fi movies and series out there?
