## Resource

We are joined by Dawson to talk about "Bugonia", Yorgos Lanthimos's English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film "Save the Green Planet!" by Jang Joon-hwan. Starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, we discuss the muddled message of the film from a Marxist perspective, the outstanding performances by everyone involved and Ward lets everyone else know how it compares to the original.
