Welcome back to The Lobby Bar! This week, the box office is buzzing with two colossal new releases, and we’re mixing up a big batch of the aptly named Pink Punch to celebrate!
First up, we dive into the latest sci-fi thriller from director Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia! Emma Stone stars as a high-powered CEO kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists convinced she's an alien. We unpack the dark comedy, the mind-bending plot twists, and ask the unsettling question: are the conspiracy theorists right?
Then, the iconic hunter franchise is reinvented with Predator: Badlands! This installment shakes up the canon by centering on a Predator, Dek, who is exiled from his clan and forced to hunt a massive adversary on a treacherous alien world. We discuss the future setting, the heroic Yautja protagonist, and whether this new direction lives up to the Predator name.
All that, plus the latest Box Office News, a breakdown of the new wide releases, and how to make a perfect pitcher of our refreshing (and deceptively strong) Pink Punch!
