I was reading a post about some other modern movie on here and attempted to make a dismissive reply about the pointlessness of watching any modern movies, but it accidentally turned into a semi-review of Bugonia, which I watched in a chatroom stream the other day. Since I'm hardly practicing what I preach at that point, I figured I'd make this a separate post.

This is an Emma Stone movie from the pretentious Lobster director (but not the one where she gets her fanny out), remaking a 2003 Korean movie. It involves two guys kidnapping a stronk female CEO because they believe she's an alien disguised as a human. You can easily predict all the political beats it hits - 'conspiracy theorists', 'echo chambers', 'misinformation', etc. It even fits the template of angry vengeance taken against a medical research corporation, but taken too far to be sympathetic. At some point the main plotter scoffs that he's been through the 'digestive tract' of 'alt-right, alt-lite, leftist, marxist', yet still uses the phrase 'laundering privilege', as if that's something anyone who's ever been a right winger would say. At some point he injects a medical patient with antifreeze because he hastily buys into an outlandish theory. Ring any MSM narrative bells?

It stars Meth Damon from Breaking Bad, whose character manipulates and radicalises his retarded cousin. On reflection, it's probably not even a coincidence that they cast a ginger haired guy and another one who looks like the JD Vance retard meme. By the way, the conspiracy theorist you might happen to sympathise with was also molested as a child - but not in any serious sympathetic way, in fact it was the fat bald guy from CumTown playing a repressed gay cop, making it all comedically awkward. Anyway, just so you know, the lives of conspiracy theorists are sordid and pathetic and they've probably all been raped up the ass.

And yet it's still sophisticated enough to bamboozle the kind of people who get outplayed by Jews all the time. Spoilers in case you're masochistic enough to watch modernslop seriously:

At the very end, the conspiracy theorists turn out to be right - the CEO is an alien looking to destroy humanity. She also has a speech early on in the movie which suggests that she's tired of corporate 'diversity' soundbytes - I mean AREN'T WE ALL, right??!1 hehehe.... This is probably enough to deflect casual watchers from categorising the movie as weaponised propaganda. What midwits are likely to miss is that, at the point the movie concedes she's an alien, it stops making any effort to be a serious movie. The 'aliens' look like rastafarians wearing giant woolly cardigans on top of inflatable sumosuits. Oh and btw the Earth is actually flat, because that's what these types believe too, right. The purpose of this switch is obvious: 'the world that conspiracy theorists believe in is THIS absurd - anyway enjoy the funny and tonally jarring movie ending and be careful of misinformation out there! remember to be disdainful of anybody who really hates a medical product or who questions a female CEO'

So there you have it, I just thought I'd throw out this periodic sitrep. I would never go out of my way to seek out a new movie, yet when one falls into my figurative internet lap, this is what I get served. If you still subject yourself to modernslop, this is probably what qualifies as soft propaganda in 2025, if not the expected baseline.
