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 Eddington a faithful depiction of the society of immediacy or is it guilty of immediacy itself?
-
Are we all fkin r*****ed?
