1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Great the flick with Benoh good morning, Good morning guys. Now,

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: do you know there are some directors when a movie

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: comes out, you just look forward to it a little

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: bit more than others. You kind of have an expectation

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: of what you're going to get, whether it's a spielboyg

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: or a Scorsese or you know, or a Tarantino, great anticipation.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: They kind of have this brand value, and Yogus Lanthemos

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: is one of those. Even though there might be something listening,

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: what did you say? Yes? So your goss Lanthamos the

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Greek freak, an auteur in Greek cinema, like, he really

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: burst onto the scene with a movie called The Lobster,

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: starling Colin Farrell and Rachel Weiss. Oh we never forget Itte.

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: It didn't make much money at the cinema, but became

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: huge on streaming. Old weird movie. It is so weird.

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: And then he's made an other couple of movies that

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: have done pretty well. Then he did The Favorite with

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Olivia Coleman which was a huge hit, and one Olivia

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: coleman Oscar. Then he did Poor Things, which was released

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: at the start of last year, won four Oscars, including

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: one for Emma Stone in the lead role. And then

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, while he was waiting for Poor Things to

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: get through the editing process, he made another movie, Kinds

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: of Kindness, as you do. He was like, that is

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the movie you can have between meals without leaving. Yeah,

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: and he and that also starred Emma Stone, and the

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: great Jesse himself amused he has. Emma Stone is your

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Gooslanthemos's mus for sure, and who can blame him? She's amazing,

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: She's fantastic now and now least I know you love Jesse.

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I love Jesse Planmans. He is so great character actor.

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: He's so good and so basically Bugonia, your boss's latest

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: film is based on a sci fi Korean movie from

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and three called Save the Green Planet. No

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: one has seen it, don't worry about it. You don't

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: need to see it, which is why, which is why

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: you remake it, right like if you make it remaking Jaws,

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: good Luck to you, remakes some obscure Korean movie. It's

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: a victimless crime anyway. So and so the film, like

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: the original Korean movie, is about you know, these two cousins,

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists led by jesse Plemons's character Teddy, who are

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: convinced the Earth is in the grips of an alien invasion,

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: and he thinks he believes that the CEO of the

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: big farmer company that he works for is actually one

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: of the aliens, pretty high up in the hierarchy, which

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: is played by Emma Stone. So he decides to kidnap her,

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: put her in the basement of his house in the

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: middle of the suburbs, and then basically try and get

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: her to admit that she's an alien through various means,

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: generally pretty peaceful means. He does shave her hair because

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: he believes her hair can communicate with the alien mothership,

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and so it kind of goes from there, and of course,

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: because it's a your Los Lanthemos film, it's things start

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: to unravel, Things get a bit darker, it gets very

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: weird towards the end. Emma Stone is incredible as always.

54
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Jesse ple shaved her hand, she really shaved her head,

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: and she's so perfect at playing this CEO who feels

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: in control, in power, and then that gets peeled away

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: as she realizes the gravity of her situation being locked

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: in this basement and then but Jesse Plemons like he

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: must have lost twenty five thirty killers of the past

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: year or so, unrecognizable as this conspiracy theorist who's a

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: bee keeper as well. And Bugonia is a sort of

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: an ancient Greek reference to bees. Bees, And so it's complicated,

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: and like a lot of these types of art house films,

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: the films that kind of linger with you afterwards, you

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: walk out of the cinema and you go, oh, geez,

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I wonder what that was about, and you maybe have

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: a bit of a chat to your mates see if

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: any of them understood it. I watched it in a

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: cinema full of people. I reckon there would have been

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: easily twenty five percent of people who walked down and said,

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: what the heck did we just watch it? Well? I

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: saw one review from the Slate magazine describes Bugonia as

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: unremittingly grim. Oh, it's pretty grim because it touches on

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: a real world stuff, conspiracy theories and the idea that

75
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: people can get radicalized online, which and the climate and

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: and that you know, our humans even good for the planet.

77
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: It's a bit of an existential examination of all that

78
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. If we want to get a bit

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: intellectual about it. All Right, Well there we go start.

80
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: I need just anticipated the playoff music. How many get

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: Emma an immediate appointment in advanced hairs? Are you giving it? Oh?

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: This is a really great follow up to Poor Things.

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to give this one four stuff. Wow, that's

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: high praise. Ge So it takes a bit of work,

85
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: but it's worth and it's worth the worth the work.

86
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Lean into Lanthemos. Thank you, Ben,
