Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime and Movie Night Extravaganza is back on the Whatcha Watchin pod to chat with Alexis about The Substance, the new body horror cult classic from director Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

How can a movie so viscerally disgusting also be beautiful, meaningful, and darkly hilarious? What does this movie say about the male gaze, commercialism, and how women tend to be valued based on desirability? How did they achieve that amazing sound design? 

We discuss the larger themes of The Substance, life as aging millennials, the decline of media literacy…and we confuse Randy and Dennis Quaid a bunch of times.
