How We Seeez It! Episode 324, Bugonia (2025)

“99.9% of what's called activism is really personal exhibitionism and brand maintenance in disguise.” – Teddy

As we get close to the Oscars, we’ve decided to take a look at a few of the Best Picture nominees, and Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film is one of them. Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, the film has already generated major buzz, with Stone earning a nomination for Best Lead Actress—much like she did for Lanthimos’ Poor Things. Will Bugonia be another big winner for the pair?

Join us for our first discussion as we break down our thoughts—and, of course, don’t forget about the cocktails for this episode. There should be some good ones.

As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think. And if there’s something you’ve watched that we might enjoy—or a can’t-miss series—we’d love to hear about that too. Please rate and review the show on all your favorite podcast apps.
