Friday has rolled around again and the review squad is locked in. Patrick Beatty links up with Rebecca Frost and Kent Dunn to sift through this week’s stacked slate: from the absurd sci-fi dark comedy Bugonia, to the gothic re-imagining of Frankenstein, a high-stakes casino tale in Ballad of a Small Player, a twisted reinterpretation of Ibsen in Hedda, and the eerie prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry. Whether you’re theater-bound or streaming from home, we’ve got you covered on what to watch and what to maybe skip.
