Bugonia

I want nothing to do with it.

The eighth question was, what was my favorite movie of 2025? And the answer is Begonia.

Begonia, not Begonia like the flower, which was directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.

I can't universally recommend this movie, just like I would never tell anyone who doesn't like spicy food to try my favorite hot sauce.

But I will tell you that there were things I liked about this movie a lot.

Controversial.

We talk about the movies he's been in, like Begonia and Tony, um, which I love.

I think it's, I think it's still in theaters.

I, I just saw it recently in theaters.

I mean, like-

Yeah, it's a weird-

It's like you're in Begonia-

... it's a hilarious summer, yeah

That's pretty much it.

And when I see a good film, I know a good film like, uh, Bougonia was a good film and hell Mary was a good, was a good sci-fi film.

Disclosure day was not very good.

I don't think.

Last night I watched another movie, which is rare for me because I usually don't have time.

I had just watched the other night, I mentioned three different movies, Disclosure Day, Hail Mary, which was really good, and Bugonia, which was excellent as a satire commentary on internet conspiracies.

And then my wife wanted to watch something scary.

We don't always watch movies together because it depends on the type of movie.

And I think that's because I've had so many guests on.

Either way, I finally had some time to watch some movies from start to finish.

I sat down and watched three movies.

I sat down and watched Disclosure Day.

I watched Hail Mary.

And I watched Begonia.

And the movies got progressively better.

Disclosure Day, I thought, was so-so.

It

was Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Jesse Plemons for Begonia, DiCaprio for one battle after another, Chalamet for Marty Scream.

I saw four of the five there.

DiCaprio should have won.

And then they said, "Yeah, you actually gotta get the fuck outta here." Uh, and, uh, ever since then, ever since we drugged their nation, [laughs] they haven't, uh, they haven't necessarily fucked with us on the global scale.

Uh, they do like Marvel movies-

They're-

...

You know, we've only been doing this five years.

Uh, but yeah, on, on an actual note, uh, don't forget to check out, uh, the TikTok clips, um, for like little encapsulations.

That's where we put up a lot of the, like, mini reviews of, like, whenever we talk about, like, different movies or shows, or occasionally if we, like, really dive in to, like, a completely non-related topic, I'll, like, just clip it and put it up there.

That's its own separate thing, um, as YouTube Shorts doesn't really work for me.
