On US derangement on screen.
The OG Bunga boys get togther for the annual end-of-year film episode. We discuss Ari Aster's Eddington, as well as a bit of Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia: the three films that together marked 2025, and which deal with paranoia, conspiracy, disinformation and unmoored political activity.
Is this hyperpolitics on screen?
Do these films serve any critical purpose?
Is Eddington a faithful depiction of the society of immediacy or is it guilty of immediacy itself?
Are we all fkin r*****ed?
