Bugonia to Wicked: For Good – the seven best films to watch on TV this week

Pick of the week
Bugonia

A scruffy conspiracy theorist (Jesse Plemons) and a CEO-maybe-alien (Emma Stone) face off in this wild black comedy. Plemons is Teddy Gatz, a warehouse worker and beekeeper, distraught about the damage done by corporations such as the one Michelle Fuller (Stone) heads up. Teddy’s internet “research” has convinced him Fuller is an Andromedan colonist intent on enslaving humanity, so along with his autistic cousin Don (Aidan Delbis), Teddy plans to kidnap her and negotiate Earth’s liberation. Technically, Bugonia is a remake of a Korean film, but the mischievous mood comes unmistakably from Yorgos Lanthimos, the lauded film-maker behind Poor Things and The Favourite.
