Podcast: ‘A Friendly Film Take’ - 'Bugonia' versus 'Frankenstein'

On the latest episode of 'A Friendly Film Take', Dan Lawrence is joined by regular co-host Rhys Stacey to discuss two of the latest releases in cinemas and streaming.

The films being placed under the microscope are none other than Bugonia and Frankenstein.

What does the Film News Blitz pod have to say about these theatrical flicks?

What happens in ‘Bugonia’?

First, the duo compare and contrasts their experiences of Yorgos Lanthimos' latest peculiar offering, Bugonia.

Starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis, Bugonia challenges, beguiles and asks questions that Dan and Rhys seek to answer.

Is ‘Frankenstein’ worth a watch?

Second, Dan tells Rhys all about his experience watching Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

This latest take on the extraordinary story by Mary Shelley enjoyed a limited release before migrating to its permanent home on Netflix.

Dan ponders whether only watching it on the latter diminished his experience of Oscar Isaac's mad doctor and Jacob Elordi's monster.
