Hanging out w/Will Tracy

hanging out with Will Tracy, writer of both Succession and the darkly comic masterpiece Bugonia...LOVE THIS FILM, as it isn’t content to mock corporate amorality or internet paranoia. Instead, it’s more interested in what happens when belief becomes the only available structure in a life stripped of trust...it's a visceral, psychological masterclass. Plemons steals the show as a conspiracy theorist in a story that brilliantly blurs reality. It’s violent, deplorable, yet utterly engaging—one of Lanthimos’s best...it is very much a picture of and for our time, utilizing Lanthimos’ patented brand of dark humor to showcase a world in all its flailing, failing imperfections...it's a a dark satire meant to highlight what humans are doing to the planet. It's also meant to be a precursor for what humans are doing to themselves...Everyone is on fire in Bugonia, which has the pleasure of being unforgettable, rewatchable, and a reflection of our times. Backed by one of my favorite scores of the year, Bugonia is a Top 10 film of 2025...Building on Yorgos Lanthimos' signature visual style, Bugonia rests on a gripping script that tackles relevant themes without resorting to moralizing, challenging our understanding of power, abandonment, and blind faith, as does my debut memoir Killing Justice...Featuring incredible performances from Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, a sharp screenplay from Will Tracy, and Lanthimos' skilled direction, it's easily one of the best films of the year...Lanthimos and Tracy take an absurdist situation and make dishearteningly valid points about people and the society we live in, as does my debut memoir Killing Justice...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd_5HcTujfc
