“Birds Are Fake?” Emma Stone And Jesse Plemons Talk Yorgos, “Bugonia”, And Bizarre Conspiracies

Bugonia explores one of my favourite topics, conspiracy theories. I love putting on my tinfoil hat for two seconds, diving in and coming back out, so I wanted to ask you both what’s a conspiracy theory that you love to always talk about?

Emma: That’s SOOO private haha!

Jesse: Don’t ask Emily that, haha!

Emma: I can not talk about that on camera right now, haha!

Haha, okay, okay!

Jesse: I just want to say all the crazy ones!

Emma: Me too.

Jesse: But I’m not going to, haha, because that’s the headline!

Emma: I have a friend who said, “If I were interviewing today, I would ask if birds are real, yes or no?” Are birds real? Do we think they’re real?

Jesse: That’s a big thing!

Emma: Is that really a thing?

How is that a thing? Do people think that?

Emma: I hadn’t heard that.

Jesse: You haven’t heard about that?

Emma: What, like they’re drones or something?

Jesse: Birds are fake.

Emma: Okay, you heard it here first, birds are fake.

I have never heard that, there are loads of them haha.

Jesse: Hahaha just look it up!

Emma: Do your own research!

Jesse: So you said that knowing it’s a thing!

Emma: No, she just said that if she were doing the junket today, she would say, “Are birds real, yes or no?” All my friends sound like crazy people, but I do have a friend who, for a long time, held the belief that dinosaurs were not real and were something that science teachers made up to get kids interested in science.

That’s such an elaborate lie!

Emma: You’d be like, “What about all the bones?” and she’s like “, They can plant those bones”

Jesse: Haha, so many bones have been planted.

Years of investment. 

Emma: It’s an amazing, amazing hoax. 

Okay, so no birds, no dinosaurs.

Emma: I’m not saying I agree, this is just stuff I’ve heard!

Jesse: We’re just saying, look it up!

Emma: Do your own research, okay, haha!
