Summary
Summer’s here, and the screen’s got you covered with wild, weird, and wildly entertaining flicks. Netflix drops Bugonia, a Yorgos Lanthimos nightmare where Jesse Plemons and his cousin kidnap Emma Stone thinking she’s chatting with aliens. Also on Netflix: My Hero Academia: You’re Next, a standalone anime where superheroes clash with their darkest reflections. For dance-fueled chaos, Pretty Lethal on Amazon Prime sees five ballerinas surviving a Budapest crime war — Uma Thurman’s in full assassin mode. Hulu’s got canine horror (Good Boy) and a desert-island survival thriller (Send Help) with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, where rescue might not be the best option. Shudder delivers folk horror with a feminist bite in Heresy, set in a medieval Dutch village. And Criterion pairs two sci-fi classics: the 1951 The Thing from Another World and John Carpenter’s 1982 remake — perfect for chilling paranoia. Whether you crave aliens, ballet, dogs, or survival, this month’s picks are pure escapism with a twist. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
