Watching Matthew McConaughey's Latest Movie As A Parent Was Way More Intense Than I Anticipated

Matthew McConaughey in The Lost Bus.

There has been no shortage of intense experiences on the 2025 movie schedule (with more surely on the way), and The Lost Bus is near the top of that list. I recently checked out the new Matthew McConaughey movie with my Apple TV+ subscription. While I had a feeling this survival thriller based on a true story was going to be intense, I had no idea it would rock me like this.

As a parent who sends their kids off to school on a bus each day, I kept imagining a scenario where there was a massive wildfire between them and safety. Though I had a feeling that everything would be okay in the end (I didn’t hear any stories about 22 kids burning in the 2018 Camp Fire), this movie had me on edge way more than I initially anticipated.
