What we were discussing tonight, The
Substance, the 2024 film starring Demme Moore, my favorite actress
The substance, a fading celebrity, decides to
use a black market drug, a cell replicating substance
that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.
This is is directed by, and I don't think I'm saying this right, Coralie Farge
and it's starring Demi Moore Margaret Quey
and Dennis Quaid, who gave us a standout performance.
I have to say, he's long since been kind of a Republican shill, but whatever.
We'll forgive him for that.
I did enjoy his performance.
I really did, genuinely speaking.
But that's the movie, and I know a little birdie told
me that Arnold chose this movie.
Arnold, you're fresh off the presses, my friend.
Now, tell me, before we get into it, why did you choose this movie?
What was it about this movie that stood up out to you?
It was strongly strongly recommended
to me from one of our listeners
And that's pretty much it.
And then, then shortly after it was
it was nominated for a lot of awards, right?
Didn't win awards?
It did win some.
I know that Demi W was nominated for Best Actress since she lost
to Mikey Madison, who was for Anora, which we
recently discussed on this show, which we'll get into that a little bit.
But yeah, what do you think, Arnold?
Fresh off the presses, let's get right into it.
Did Oscar?
What do you think?
I'd say so.
Yeah, that was pretty that was pretty wild, man.
I know at the end, I was like thinking, okay,
I'm going to rely on you guys, like towards the end.
I know there's like some
some symbolism or some,
you know, deeper meaning that I haven't quite
digested it yet and we'll need some some of
you guys help in that department.
Yeah.
And we'll be your That's your question,.
Oh, sorry, go ahead.
We'll be your tums to help you digest that movie.
Thank you You're going to be a lot more than Tums for this one, my friend.
It was nominated for five awards, and it won Best Makeup and hairstyling, which well deserved.
It was nominated for for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplaying, Best Director
and Best Actress for more.
Fargeet, the director became the first woman to be nominated
for writing and directing a horror film, and the ninth woman to be nominated for directing
an overall directing overall on Academy Awards history.
So there you go.
Some interesting fun facts about that.
But yeah, wow.
What, what a ride of a film.
I mean, I'm still like, I'm still processing it myself.
Yeah.
Kyle, I want to ask you, just in general, do you like horror movies?
How do you feel about body horror type stuff in general?
I'm'm good with it.
I like Cronenberg a lot.
So that's, you know, that's kind of his thing.
So, yeah, I'm in
Nice.
And, uh, I, yeah, the body horror, um, I
was thinking, uh, the fly a lot of times.
I That's Cronenberg.
Oh, that is Cornenberg.
I should know that.
That's right.
Um,
I don't know I don't know what else to say.
I'm still like thinking about it at all.
But I first thing that stood out to me, did you guys notice
the soundscape in this movie, the sound design?
Like, everything.
Like, you could hear every crunch, every squeal, every squeak
Did that do anything for anybody else?
Because like, to me, that was a very oral experience.
Yeah, yeah.
ASMR experience.
Dennis Quaid?
Yeah.
Where he's getting the shrimp.
Is it crabfish or shrimp?
Shrimp. shrimp.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It made me hungry.
Really?
I was like, no.
I was like, oh, gosh.
He's like, it's all like.
That's going to be the thumbnail for this episode, by the way, Arnold.
Thank you for that.
Did you notice that like,
yeah, she didn't care about continuity?
She would have like, okay, here's an obedium shot of Dennis created the shrimp, and here's
a different close-up shot at him with the things just going in his mouth and shit.
She's like, I'll fuck continuity.
I'm going to edit this to make you as uncomfortable and disgusted as possible.
She did a good job.
Yeah.
Yeah, but the other thing I want to say really quick,
the cinematography of this movie felt very like indie artthouse style.
Like, you don't see this kind of sense. cinematography and like big studio movies, I feel.
And not just that, the editing.
Like there was a sort of a music
video aesthetic to some of the editing in some parts.
Did you guys notice that at all?
And not only did you guys did you guys notice that, but did you notice the
constant 2001 references in this movie?
Yeah.
I noticed like
based on the cinematography
and just the set design in general, I noticed that there
was a lot of inspiration from like Stanley
Kubrick and also movies like Reanimator.
I mean, like the substance in general just looks like the reanimation
um stuff from Reanimator that like
bright neon green, uh, you know, monster-esque
kind of serum that they had going on.
But like the red H kind of
reminded me of how some cubic films were shot, like the shining.
Like also in the beginning of the movie, if you notice like a lot of the scenes are very like
the Shiningesque, especially with that bar scene
at the beginning as well, where she's sitting at the bar and it just,
the first thing I popped in my head was when Jack was, you know,
talking to the bartender and the shining.
So a lot, a lot of Cubrick and a lot of like old school
like monster movies or body horror movies.
It played homage to him, even
though it wasn't like right in your face, it was more of like very
subtle, like quick scenes here and there.
So I do appreciate
those aspects of the cinematography.
And also in some of the scenes where things were getting a little intense
and he had the the gorilla style, like POV,
which made things a little bit more intense as well.
I really, you brought up a POVV,
but there's an interesting point of view aspect of like when they introduced Dennis Quaid.
He's literally pissing on the audience.
Yeah.
In that scene.
He's like, at the funeral and he's fucking pissing on the audience when you first meet him.
So it's like, like, it shows how much of a scumbag he really is as a character
I thought that was kind of funny.
I like that her last name was Sparkle,
and the movie started with the close-up shot of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And then like over time, you see the cracks,
you see the dirtiness, all the gunk that ends
up on the sidewalk and it's like, oh, she's losing her sparkle.
I see you.
I see what you're doing..
Good stuff.
Sorry, were you going to say something?
A little snow globe.
No
Yeah.
But hey, the real horror was
not the crazy bodygour stuff.
The real horror about this movie was the fact that women age.
Theatically,, they really leaned into that, I thought.
And it's kind of funny because
Demi Moore did lose to Mikey
Madison in Anura for the millionora.
And a lot of people at the time were saying like, yeah, like, doesn't this just kind of prove
everything the substance was trying to say that you
get to a certain age as a woman in Hollywood and then you sort of get forgotten.
And then to the younger crowd that that comes up and it's like, yeah, that couldn't be more
it couldn't be more appropriate.
Yeah, that yeah,
I thought that was, uh, that was interesting.
But yeah, what are you I mean, how closely
have has anyone here followed Demise's career?
To me, the best thing I've seen her in was
a few good men, but you guys tell me, like,
is this is this the the peak role that she'll do or what other stuff have you guys?
You know, before you go on with that, like, like
briefly, because I, I kind of confused it when I was like watching the movie.
I was like, uh, because there was another movie this reminds
me of two, and it was Requiem for a Dream.
Oh yeah.
And I was like, was that Demi Moore?
But no, it wasn't.
It was Jennifer Connolly Connolly...
But the similarities between the two movies,
especially how it's filmed, definitely reminds me of that as well, which is.
That's a great connection.
Because
she kind of looks like Jennifer.
Like they kind of they're both raven-haired beauties, you know, her and Jennifer Connolly.
And isn't the old lady in in
that movie, like trying to look younger as well?
Yeah, yeah.
That's those were like some of the connections I made with that as well.
I was like, oh, this is totally like recm for a
dream, although not as devastating.
I don't know, man.
Rio was pretty devastating.
I'll never watch that movie again.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Rickwm is a devastating movie.
This substance wasn't as devastating as this one,
but yeah, no, I see I see a little bit
of the correlation with characters and
story.
Yeah.
That is a great connection.
We should do that as a buddy movie to this one.
I think that would be really good.
But yeah, I don't know.
So like, you know, they say sound is half the movie, right?
So, yeah, that soundscape that they built was,
there was sort of a lingering, uncomfortableness to that.
Did anyone else catch that?
Yeah..
It sounded like a lot of lettuce, I
mean, celery, breaking in half.
So, right?
Yeah.
But if you notice, though, like, there's very little dialogue.
That's true.
It's a very visual and oral story, right?
Which I think they did a really great job of telling the story visually.
You know, it's very, like everything, like,
like, for instance, when she, when Demi Demi
Moo is going to the alley to get a substance
she goes there and it's like, she's
already had a very low place in her life, right?
And she's just like desperate.
And it just kind of shows the desperation that she's going
through to like get this thing.
And then
on top of that, she's going down this alley.
It's really scummy and then she gets to that lift gate, right?
She opens it up and it only opens like maybe a third of the way.
And she literally has to lower herself to get in there.
you know?
So, like, like, physically and she's lowering
herself mentally just to get this thing.
I saw that as
a metaphor of like, you're
begging for this, you're on your knees, you'll do.
Yeah, yeah.
That's that's's very definitely when I that..
You guys have that thing.
Get low.
Get low, get low, get low.
No?
Was it only me?
No, I think that was just you.
No.
Good song, though.
Probably Kyle.
Little John yeah, great song.
Man, I would not go in there if I was her.
If that was me, I mean, if I was if I was in that situation.
After you get to that rolled up gate, I was like, no, I'm good.
I feel like I've done that a couple of times, even just visiting in Los Angeles.
I'll be ducking into this random building and like, where the fuck am I at?
And then it ends up being some like crazy like art exhibit.
I'm like, oh, this is cool.
I do it in style.
Do do like a running start and then and then
do a splits and then make it inside.
I would love to see that, Arnold.
Like Van Damme.
A little Van Damme, a little.
What was that JCVD?
Yeah.
I have to say the bathroom, which was
a prominent set throughout the entire movie, that
is the biggest, most emptiest bathroom I've ever seen.
I understand it from a design
point of view, but that is a very impractical bathroom to have to be that size.
Like, there's a tiny sink in a mirror.
There's a shower stall.
And then when Margaret Quie crawls
out of Demi's body and then decides to hide it while
she's got her weak, she's like, I'm going to build a trap door, a hidden door.
So it's like, okay You learn how to do all that?
What's that?
That was skills, right?
But I think that was like after her second
time, it was like her second time being out and about, right?
Like the first week she just kind of is experiencing
being Sue.
And then she has to go back and
then she comes back because she and she does that because
if you think about it, she's she hates the
sight of Elizabeth.
And it's, she builds that room because
like out of sight out of mind kind of situation, you know?
And it's like, that way she doesn't, she can do
all the things that she wants to do without feeling guilty, right?
That she has to, like, go back or like see this thing, you know.
I appreciate her carpentry skills because
it was pretty, it was pretty flawless, man.
I was like, wow, you found the exact tiles to match and everything.
I'm like, damn, dude.
I wouldn't even.
If I did it, those tiles would have been a completely different color.
This episode brought to you by the Home Depot, by the way, the Home Depot.
It's also all your hidden extra 400
square feet in your apartment to have an extra room that you just build, you know?
I know.
Yeah.
Behind your bathroom.
Here's another 400 square square feet just ready to go.
That's that already a big bathroom, right?
We anticipated the dungeon building.
Yeah.
I mean, rich people, right?
For rich people.
Yeah.
I like the blatant visual
symbolism of when Margaret Qui takes down her big picture from the center
of the living room and then hides it as well.
Like I I'm like, wait,
you're supposed to be one, one and the same, but not really.
She's like, no, I'm going to get rid of this big ass picture and put it away because I don't want to see it.
If that's not thesis of the the entire movie, I kind of don't know what is, you know what I mean?
But that was a little moment.
I also like how like the crack
in that picture was like over her eye as well.
I thought that was pretty good.
Pretty nice attention to detail.
I mean, they put it in front of you almost every
single time they showed that picture, but it's like, yeah, I get it.
I understand.
Hand holding, but hey,
did you catch the first shadowing of like in the first in
the opening when someone guy spills like a bunch of red food sauce on her star.
And then at the very end, who star, she's a big red massive blob and then it just
I like the whole sequence at the star, too,
though, because it kind of, they didn't really get bogged down with details.
They like told her story from like
her star being installed to like her kind of like ventual, like getting like losing
like, like popularity with
people to where like people, you see like her
star aging and getting cracks and people are like, at first all taking pictures with
it and then later on they're like, yeah, I think she was
in some movie I saw a few years ago or whatever.
And then eventually she's just like an afterthought
and then turn all the way to like that dude like dropping
his burger on it, you know?
Would you guys consider the Hollywood
Walk of Stars to be like an impromptu graveyard almost?
Yeah, I mean, it's literally people walking all over your grave all day, right?
Yeah.
It's like people, people from the Midwest a better pers of that, living in LA.
What do you think?
What are your thoughts on that?
I mean, it is it's a really, yeah, weird thing to
like have this like award
or trophy or whatever, but yeah, it's like in the ground that people are walking on every day.
And then when like, people die, it's
like they put people put like flowers and whatever at
a stone on the ground, on
like a public street, that's just like with,
you know, Spider-Man and fucking SpongeBob.., yeah, it's a weird thing.
For those of you that don't know, by the way,
downtown Hollywood is the Times Square of
L.A., but worse, because Times Square I feel is more historic.
Downtown Hollywood's historic in its own way, but but it's kind of a toilet seat.
There's, like you said, there's all kinds of performers
and Spider-Man costumes and shit and people handing out maps to Hollywood
homes and all that.
It is one of the dirtiest places I've ever been to in L.A. I don't know
about you guys, but the last time I was there, yeah, not, not quite
pleasant, not quite pleasant at all.
But, and by the way, they have to pay for those stars.'s not that's not cheap.
The stars themselves have to pay for their own stars.
I think it's like, I don't know, $100,000, $200,000 or something crazy like that.
So
So not only you're paying for someone to shit on your star.
Go ahead.
They're usually purchased by other people, though, like publicists,
though, or like their like agencies.
Just the kind of like publicity.
Once you reach a certain echelon, right, then people are willing to
pay for it, I guess.
Right.
That's what I feel..
But yeah, that's what I've read.
But it's still funny.
Yeah, it's like, like you said, Justin, it's basically an open- graveyard.
And the scummiest part of LA that you can think of.
M as well put it in, I don't know,
put it somewhere nicer, I guess, but uh, yeah.
Palm Spring I just has its own walk of fame. funny enough.
How about I get someplace like Gilroy or something?
Yeah, that should be a walk of fame in Gilroy, California.
All the best onion harvesters of the name.
Garlic.
Garlic.
Oh, yeah, this is a Adrian,
you get corrected on that every episode, Gilroy's mag.
What did I say?
You said, what did you say?
Iions onions.
Onions.
Did I say onions?
All the world is the garlic capital of the world.
The only place you can hang their meat get and the meat marinated
and taste delicious and have nice garlic flavor running all the way through your meat.
Live show from Dilroy, California, coming soon, guys.
The live show.
We'll do a live show.
Running all the way through.
You're right.
Sorry, sorry, yeah.
Sorry to
I'm just throwing it out there.
It might be a great place to put a, you know, a celebrity
star, you know, Gilroy, California.
Yeah.
Guy Fieri is waiting for his star there.
He has a restaurant, one of his restaurants is called Johnny Garlic.
That's!
That's right.
It's going to be perfect.
Until they start the W down overtown, he's got to go go right.
That's I remember you were trying to hit up a lot of the
Guy Fiei restaurants.
I know this is a tangent.
I remember you were trying to do that.
How's that journey going?
Oh, always good.
Always got a, you know, ID,000 on a flip-flop.
Yeah..
Have you been to any of them in Vegas?
Yeah, I have, totally.
We have one here in Denver, Kyle.
It's What's it called?
Sam's number three, I believe..
I don't think I've been there.
I've been to Denver a couple times, but I don't think I've been there.
Yeah, hit me up next time.
We'll We'll go get brunch.
Bean park in the middle of downtown.
Is that still there?
Water park?
Yeah.
It's about the size of your backyard, but it's there.
It's?
You know?
It's really weird.
Well, don't forget Casa Bonita, the famous Casa Bonitas here.
I've been.
I've been there.
I have been there.
I haven't.
So I still need to do that.
And I've been living here for how many years now?
Well, I went pre South Park dude owning in.
Oh, I see, I see.
Yeah, I haven't been since it's been
redone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was a waiting list for a while, and now it's open open
seating, so Open season.
Well, if if you do meet up for a brunch,
don't forget to do your your boomerang.
Cheers.
D. What is that?
I don't even know what that is.
You know, when you do the bang
Theatically, obviously, it's about aging versus youth and
and by the way, speaking of of aging and stuff, a
lot of very male gazy shots in this movie.
And I was like, God, there's so many ass shots, so many boob shots.
And then I realized, oh, well, it's started to by a woman and I that has to be a by design.
Like, like there's something there about
even the dancers at the end of the movie who are perform performing in front of kids, their tits were out.
Did you guys notice that?
But when when the monster version
of Demi's character was there with her her monster boob
out, the woman was like coveringring her child's face.
I'm like, you didn't just see a bunch of dancers walk out on stage with her boobs out.
Like, now you decide to cover up
your kid's face?
I thought that was interesting.
I think maybe about the end
How about the end where the monster when the tit comes out of the monster's mouth?
I forgot.
I was like, what is it?
Yeah.
Lots of weird boob and ass stuff.
Arnold, did you, were you going to say something?
Oh, I was just like, Merry Christmas.
Falls out.
I want to make those as ornaments for this here.
I want to put it on the tree, Donahue.
Alex, I'll turn to you really quick.
What do you make of the body gore stuff with the intense focus on tits and butts?
Like, what do you make of ahematically?
I mean, I know there's something there, but
yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that.
Is it your Hear Me Out, Arnold?
Oh, go.
Go ahead, Alex.
The question was,
what do you make of all the emphasis on
those specific parts of the female body?
Gory boobs and ass.
I feel that it was just
kind of commentary on... just
the way that Hollywood is, you know, that
it's.
It's it's a symbolizing the.
What do you call it?
The way they objectify women in Hollywood, right?
You know?
and how it
kind of churns out these like celebrities.
And then they like they remember, Dennis Quaid mentions
in the in the very beginning the Once you hit 50, it all goes downhill.
He's like, you know, and that's kind of like
you know, like symbolic of like how they've always done that.
And they don't how Hollywood sees
women as a product to sell and
not like actual human people.
Like, this movie does a really good job at humanizing
Demi Moore's character, Elizabeth Sparkle, because
you know, it's hard to imagine
a celebrity.
Like as somebody with a lot of fame and fortune, right?
But they make her look so look and feel and you feel
bad for you.
It's a sad movie, to be honest.
It's hilarious at times, and it's kind of gross
and shocking, but it's also a sad movie because you see how lonely she really is.
I mean, you guys talked about earlier in the film
how, like, how sparse and
wide open a lot of the rooms look.
That's intentional.
It's made to make it look so lonely with all that
space in between the walls and the character, you know?
And even like when Demis Moore is sitting in her kitchen
and her maid is vacuuming, there's a wall
between them and there's a window, but it's not like, it's like, there's a separation.
She's not talking to anybody.
And nobody really talks to her, right?
Nobody acknowledges her.
The only person that acknowledges her is Fred.
Her, yes. classmate.
And Fred is like, actually acknowledges
her and doesn't, hasn't it't objectifying her at all.
He's like, I remembered you.
I' followed your career.
Like, I love you.
You're still the same beautiful Lizzie Sparkle.
She doesn't, he doesn't call her Elizabeth.
He calls her Lizzie, her nickname
for probably from like school, you know?
And so that's like one of those things where, like she,
he's the only one that really humanizes her and sees her as a person.
And I think that's like Hollywood is
this thing, like her fame and you know popularity
was this thing that like drove her, right?
But now she's being pushed out
and like her, her desperation,
especially getting her getting let go from
her show, it's like, you know, she's getting pushed to the
edge and that's why, you know, she wants that to get that back.
And that's why, you know, you get like this whole objectifying thing.
She's objectifying herself because she thinks that's the only thing that makes her feel worthy
you know, and feel loved and things like that.
Whereas Fred is like, they call it complete antithesis.
He's like, he said, he goes, you've always been so beautiful, me.
I followed your career like, ever since, you know, we were, you know, and I'm so proud.
Like, I don't know if he says he's proud of her.
I can't remember
but he's like, you know, and, and she's genuinely flattered.
And like even to the point where even after he writes his phone
number and drops it into the mud, she he
still picks it up and she takes it and she still keeps it.
This muddy piece of paper she kept.
And he and when she goes to like call him, like she's
like, she's at a low point again and she's like, I want to feel loved
And she's like, still has that piece of paper,
you know, with his phone and his phone number and decides to call him, you know?
And she's like, I'm glad you bringing him up.
At least somebody feels like, feels
that I'm worthy of like love.
You know?
And beyond beyond I'm glad you bring him stuff.
My headcanon is that if she'd gone on that day with Fred,
she would have quit the substance the very next day.
That's my headcanon, because I think Fred would
have shown her that she's worthy in the shape that she's in now.
Like, you know, who cares about youth and all that, right?
But yeah, poor Fred.
Poor Fred got stood up that night, man.
I don't think he's ever going to.
It's hard enough to do..
You know crazy too, about that, too, is like in the text
messages, even up to that point where he she kind of like stands
him up because of her insecurity, he still is asking
are you okay?
Like, he's the only one that like, ever says, are you okay?
How are you doing?
Is everything all right?
You know?
Like, nobody ever asks her that until that's
Yeah, because you across the hallway neighbor was first complaining
about all the noise until he saw Margaret Quey.
And then, let's not forget, the creepy
old guy in the diner who's also taking a substance and noticed her.
What did you guys think about that scene?
Because that scene, to me, that scene felt very David Lynch-esque, by the way.
How say you guys
The creepy guy in the diner, wasn't also the the nurse?
No.
What?
Yeah, he was That's what they were insinuating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoa, who, whoa, what nurse?.
At the one that gave up on her.
Who told her about the substance in the first place?
Yeah.
That's the one who put it in the pocket.
The one who that the crazy, like, they weren't just
blue eyes They weren't just like green eyes.
They were like, uh, I don't know.
Hold on. gets in the accident.
Remember after she gets in the accident and they are checking out her spine?
The the after the doctor leaves
there's a nurse checking her spine.
He's like, you're a good candidate, remember?
No, I'm talking about the guy in the diner, the old guy that is also taking, they're the same guy.
They' the same guy.
He's the young version as the nurse.
That's him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
God damn it.
Hey, Adrian, I'm happy to be a digestive enzyme for you.
Oh, thank you.
Available on our TikTok shop starting tomorrow,
10% off for the first 100 customers, right?
No, I didn't catch that at all.
Seriously.
That, wow.
I'm going to need to go back and watch that.
Okay.
I have a movie free for the next six days.
Thanks, Alex.
He mentions, he said, I just wanted to check up on you and see how you were doing.
I thought he was just being cryptic.
I didn't realize it was the same fucking guy
No, say, dude.
Okay.
Wow.
See, that's a great attention.
I didn't even, yeah.
So do you guys think that like that old guy, he was just already old like that?
Or do you think he was kind of being overcome by the
substance the substance?
I thought that's kind of what I thought because he looked a little too haggard.
And it was right after her finger was all fucked up, right?
That scene.
Yeah.
I think he's already, it was already there.
Oh, he was just an old guy.
Yeah, I think he was already an old guy.
First off, the younger version of him look a little weird.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like you know what I mean too perfect or something.
Yeah, yeah.
I think they intentionally made him look like as perfect as possible.
Like he was AI or something.
Andy said it changed my life.
So it's like he obviously had gone through the process already.
Well, but here's the thing.
If you're going to make a young version of yourself come out of your spleen,
your spine and shit, are you going to go be a nurse or you going to go like live life on the edge or something?
I don't know.
I guess I would have expected.
Maybe he's getting paid.
Extra money.
Or maybe he's getting the substance for free.
Really quick since we're on that note, I thought
the voice on the phone, I thought that was definitely Dennis Quaid, by the way.
Am I the only one that thought that sounded like Dennis Quitt?
No, no.
No?
I thought it was completely.
I thought it was Dennis Quaid.
No, it was his brother, Randy Quaid.
You know, Shitter's school.
It was Morpheus.
It was.
Morpheus.
They did mention the Matrix a couple times, right?
It did kind of have a Matrix.
Isn't this like the crossrix?
No?
We're going to have to keep a close eye on this director's career.
Yeah.
That's a great references.
She's got 2001, she's got Matrix.
She's got
a Requiem for a Dream.
Let's keep an eye on..
Yeah.
Fun fact, she her
first movie Revenge was such a
That's a good one. drawing point that
Marvel tapped her to be the director for Black Widow.
She declined it.
And then did the substance.
That's in.
Well, good for her.
I feel like that was a strategic choice.
Yeah, I'm Marvel, you go work for them, yeah,
you're getting your name on a big on a big poster, but but those movies, there's no
you know, there's, it just doesn't.s no substance.
There's no subststance.
No style versus substance.
Thank you.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
This is why I run with this crew, Kyle, by the way..
You know what I'm saying?
But no, this is a better choice.
I think that this movie, yeah, this movie you're going to be talking about
for a while, Black Widow, who even is thinking about that movie right now, right?
Alex, isn't it with Scaro?
Yeah.
That's not even like my top favorite Scarjill
movie, so I don't even think about that movie.
The subst are Black Widow?
Black Widow, no..
It That'tarker.
It's Ghosts in the Shell.
It's Jurassic It's the new Jurassic World season, right, Alex?
That's going to be your favorite one.
I didn't even know that was coming out already.
The Generic ass looking Jurassic World movie.
I know I want to see it.
That looks horrible.
You know what?
I just want to say, I'm going to rant real quick off topic.
Rant away.
Jurassic World Rebirth was
marketed as a rated R movie, and I looked at it and they switched
it to PG-13 because they knew they were going to lose the kid audience.
What a bunch of fucking...
Wait a minute.
Wasn't the first one rated R?
The first Rraft
No, it was PG-13.
Was it really?
I thought.
Yes.
Different times, I guess.
I feel like that movie should have been radar R, but whatever.
I mean, there's an arm dangling out of a, you know, the never mind.
And it doesn't matter.
I haven't seen it yet, but yes, I'm aware.
It was rated in the new Jurassic Park that was rated R because
there's a brief scene of Chris full frontal nudity.
Yeah.
No, I was talking about the original one where you see Samuel Jackson's arm hanging, hanging off.
It's bitten off by your raptor.
Like that's that's a rated R type of, but I guess it doesn't matter now.
Yeah, I didn't make the connection
between that, but interesting stuff.
Okay, so what else do we got?
Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot more stuff to talk about, obviously.
I love the whole, the fact that she saw the commercial
for the substance on her, on a TV channel
that felt like something straight out of a GTA game, right?
Like it wasn't like she was told about the substances.
No, no, no.
It wasn't She got the ESB drive.
No, no, no, but But the advertisement for the substance was on the TV that she was watching, wasn't it?
In the beginning?
No, because you plugged in theB. thumb drop.
Yeah, it was from the drive.
Where does she get that from?
from the nurse.
The nurse that you did in the locked her or something. because I'm like forget.
I literally finished it. in 30 minutes ago.
Okay, the nurse literally felt her
spine and was like, hey, you're like the perfect candidate.
And then he slips her like a rolled up note, right.
And then when she gets home.
he puts it in her in her coat.
He puts it in her.
And then she's like.
She puts the rolled paper.
Yeah.
And then she called the number and then they're like, what's your address?
And then they shipped her the box.
Right.
No, no She threw it away first, and then she got it up..
I shipped to the key card.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I saw her watching something.
I haven't watched this since it came out, so I'm.
But yeah, yeah.
I think you guys have seen it more recently than me.
Literally, literally an hour ago.
But I thought she was, there was a shot of her at home watching the
substance commercial play on TV and I thought that that was just being advertised
like any other commercial that you're saying.
That came, she stuck the USB drive in it.
Into the TV, yeah.
Okay.
I thought you were initially you were talking about like the interview
that that the young her was having with that.
That one guy, like later in the movie.
Oh, the late night show host?
Yeah, the late night show.
I'm still in the first act, Arnold.
No, no, no.
You're all the way in that.
I should know, I'm
a terrible host, so, you know, I forget stuff.
I should probably get myself.
Oh, you're okay.
No, I was going to ask you, only watching an hour ago, so that's fine.
No.
You're okay.
Exactly.
I was about to ask, what is your Z rating on this?
I'll ask you that later.
Yeah, we'll do the Z ratings here soon.
But yeah, Arnold, since you literally watched it 10 minutes ago,
what did you think of the final like 25, 30 minutes of the movie?
A whole lot of like titties that I don't didn't
find appealing.
It's bad when you don't find titties appealing, right?
Yeah, you know I'm more of a... booty guy.
But, um
Well, I just knew that like towards
the end, I was like, okay, there was a lot, like, okay
with her name Sparksle.
Like she ends up on the back at her star
looking up and then there's like all those sparkly things falling.
And
I was like, okay, this is a lot of, um symbolism and stuff.
You know, like it's like that it's like that symbolism thing, you know?
You guys probably can help you out with.
Well, let me ask him for what, Arnold.
What were you going to say?
What I
was What I was going to say is, did you notice the
huge shift in tone from when she basically
after she decides to like let her live when
Demi Moore, older Demi Moore decides to let her younger son
live to go do that New Year's Eve show, it
just got more comedic from there because like all
the like her teeth falling out, her ear falling off
just the body goard stuff.
But then, but then she goes home, she takes a one shot
version of the substance, and then that crazy, deformed
version of herself comes out with Demior's face still on the back of fucking spine and shit.
And from there, it's just like, this is.
Monstro Eliza Sue.
That's, yeah.
Yeah, I just named it.
That was hilarious, actually..
Did it seem like a weird tonal shift to anybody else?
Or were you guys like, no, this is still in line with everything that's come before.
It was a pretty entertaining shift to me, especially
in the part like the bloodbath towards the end with the music.
I was like, oh,
it's pretty cool.
Oh, yeah, were you going to say something, Justin?
Well, I was just going to say that it reminded
me of in the ending part was
when I was like, oh,
I kind of saw it coming from the get-go.
I was like, oh, she's going to go home and she's going to use the activator on herself.
And I'm like, oh, something definitely interesting is going to happen with that.
And then when she started mutating
I was like, huh, I wonder, like, where are they going with this?
Is she just going to be this fucked up looking monster or is she going
to be like more beautiful or is she just going
to like disintegrate herself from existence?
And it went like it became like
the monster that it was, I was like, okay.
And then I did not expect
it to, I didn't expect Demi Moore's
face to be or Eliza's Sparkle's face to be on her back.
So when she turned around, and it kind of reminded me of,
uh, what's that horror movie camp
something, where she has her mouth open and
you find out that she was a dude the whole time.
Sleepaway camp.
It reminded of you of sleepaway camp.
That's what it reminded me of a little bit.
Um, but I think, uh, like
when the performance was going on and everybody was just
like waiting for her to like show up on stage
I thought that was pretty interesting because she just slapped
that photo over her, over her face and
everybody didn't really blink an eye or think anything of it.
They didn't think like, oh, like her dress looks really fucked up from here.
They just, it just, it also just shows how much people
just didn't give a shit in Hollywood.
They didn't pay attention.
They just wanted you to be out there making the money.
But it also reminded me, and I think
it's the biggest classic monster movie of all time, Frankenstein.
It reminds me of that.
That whole scene reminds me of the ending of Frankenstein, how everybody just ended up
freaking the fuck out and pointing at her and saying, monster, monster.
And she's like, no, it's me.
It's, you know, don't, you know, don't be afraid.
I'm here to perform, whatever.
It's me.
It was that definitely gave me like Mary Shelley Frankenstein vibes.
You know what?
I thought they were going to do it when she goes up on stage with the picture of Demi on her face and stuff.
I thought they were going to switch to like the audience's POV and like she
takes it off and it's just regular, beautiful Demi Moore standing there.
Like I thought it was going to be like a weird like body dysorphia angle they
were going to take where it's like, like Caesar as beautiful, but only see she
sees herself as his deformed monster.
But no, they didn't go that route.
They went in a much better route where sheladders the entire audience of blood, which fantastic.
What' talking about is like almost the complete opposite.
She She was kind of delusional.
That version, Monstro Eliza Sue, was kind of delusional.
She thought she was beautiful.
Like, even when she was like curling her hair, she wasn't trying to make herself beautiful.
She was like it was
Who's who's real, who's the real monster?
You know?
Was it Eliza Eliza Sue?
Was it Sue or was it Elizabeth, right?
Like, who's like, I feel like
they' Elizabeth and
Sue are kind of like, like the more like
monstrous types, you know?
Because they were in this toxic cycle of like,
self-loathing and then like the only way to feel
good was to be the Siou version, but they needed each other, but they didn't like each other
You know, it was a sort of like toxic cycle.
And like, where, like to the point where
like, obviously we talked about how she was locking Elizabeth away for like three months, right?
Three months.
Like she had been like extracting all that, like, what what do you call it?
The
the stabilizer?
The serum stuff.?
Explain to me the mechanics behind that because I thought they had to switch off every seven days no matter what.
Well, Steve's Was she not switching off?
She She took advant of it.
She was actually She was using the fluid bags, the feeding bags for both
versions to
feed Elizabeth.
So she'd like, probably what she would do is she would get a refill.
She'd just get it and then use both and then just keep
pulling the.
Yeah, it wasn't a fair. fluid.
It got to a point where. basically, there was no way.
You basically have to switch out to read.
You have to switch out to regenerate.
It was spinal fluid, you know, like they had to like, yeah.
Exactly.
It wasn't a fair serum swap.
No, it was not a good serum swap.
Explaining to me the mechanics of what would have happened
if Demi had ended it early, would
her finger have generated back to the way it was, or would she have stayed permanently with that fucked up finger?
They kept saying in the movie.
Like if you terminate this, you will stay
the way you are.
Like, the way.
No, reversing.
It would not reverse back to like being what she used to look like.
So when she was watching her on TV being interviewed
and she was all fucked up, even at that point, if she had ended it
there, she would have stayed all fucked up, is what you're saying?
Okay.
Yeah.
What the hell was she supposed to do with with Margaret Culey's body at any point if she decided to end it?
What would she have done with the
body?
I figure in that service that the
people were providing, they would probably, like, provide
like removal of the body as well.
That's what I'm thinking.
That and I also figured just the way how
the monster kind of died at the end of the movie
maybe maybe she herself would have disintegrated
or deteriorated over time too.
So there's that's what I'm thinking a few theories as well on that.
Yeah.
But yeah, they pretty much said from the get-go, and I don't think it was
irreversible regardless at whatever point in time.
There was just no reversing it.
Once you got going, there's no reversing.
I want to see
a version of this the substance with a male character.
I think that could be really interesting.
Maybe like a Zac Ephron time or something.
I don't No.
You don't think so?
Z. You don't don't want to see deformmed Zac Efron. grac.
I want to see
A bunch of dicks everywhere.
Like that, yeah.
It'll'll be not my Prest fat moment.
I'll say that.
It'll be Zac Efron with his Panini press haircut.
You really fucking.
You already fucking lived the substance today. these days.
Like, all men try to like, like keep their
youth, but they're way more delusional.
You know what I mean?
Like, like all these like
hair, like plugs and, you know, like
dick pills and stuff like that.
It's like, dude, Why can't you Everybody's
like, Nobody wants to a gracefully, you know?
Like they just want to.
No.
It's more popular nowadays, right?
You know?
Dude, yeah.
It's
it's not as taboo for like a male to do it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's does it.
Like, they're like, oh, it's so like, oh,
you're going to get like a breasting plants or going to get tummy tucks and all that.
If a male male does it, like, look at fucking Elon Musk, dude.
Fucking guy
Gender affirming surgery.
gets like.
He's like, exactly.
Dude.
And when women don't
get any kind of work done, they still get shit on it.
I saw a picture that Ellen Hunt, Helen Hunt shared on social media
And like people were like, why does she look like that?
It's like, bro, she's, she's aging.
Like, what do you expecting?
Like, she hasn't gotten work done.
She's just aging.
She's aging naturally.
Like, what do you want from her?
You know?
She looks like Helen Hunt, but at her age, like, what's wrong with that?
She She doesn't have the big fucking
lip fillers and shit like that.
So, you know.
Yeah.
I don't want to see a male version of this.
Fuck that.
You don't want to see Glenn Powell do the substance?
Well, the first movie that comes to mind, if you do want
to see like a male version of the movie thinner comes to mind.
Yeah, thinner.
It's a horror body horror movie as well.
And it's a Stephen King movie
where this guy, he's like super obese and overweight, wants to be thinner.
So, he gets on this like substance
and it ends up making him become dangerously thin.
And he kind of becomes like a monster monster as well type of deal.
So good movie.
Was it a movie about meth?
I mean, it could be Arnold.
I've seen that happen.
In real life.
I've experienced that.
All right, you guys.
High school.
What's that?
Oh, with other people, not me.
Random
question, Donnie, who is Ben Davis?
Is he a fashion person
Isn't that a clothing brand with the gorilla?
Yeah You mentioned it on a recent episode.
I was just wondering who Ben Davis was..
That is a clothing brand.
It was really popular.
Yeah, it is, right?
A lot of like, uh, I don't know, it was popular with like
the Latin culture, I guess, right?
Yeah, cholos and stuff like that.
Like, At least when I was growing up, cholola, cholos, those dickies and like.
I thought it was. remember those.
Dickies and Eddie.
Ben Davis was also a
Yeah.
And they also like I don't know who Ben Davis is...
They looked like button-ups, but they like those.
They were zippers.
They were super starched.
Like, they were like crispy, you know?
Like they were like, crispy.
The guys from corn would wear them.
The guys go from corn.
Especially the.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Is that still in now?
Because I'm going to Vegas tomorrow.
I might try to head up Todamura before I..
Is that still in Cat City, dude?
There's no way.
Yeah.
For real?
Oh, that's crazy, man.
Isn Isn't it actually a film?
Yeah.
That's where I bought my Bmob belt.
I don't know.
Yeah, I used to get my letter belts from there if I spelled my name out and shit.
I used to get my Dickie's pants from there.
Did you really?
So we've all been at Tolamo on this channel, huh?
Kyle, have you been at Tamo?
You're not missing much.
Don't worry.
Tob, that you go to the Dollar Theater, you know?
And you go to the, yeah. a boot world, Kyle?
A boot world?
Go see little too?
Yeah.
Oh, boot barn, yeah.
Yeah..
Yeah, you go to Do I want to get some calls.
You go to the Do theater.
You go to the Dollar theater and then you get shot outside the Do theater.
And then you go home.
That's the way it works in cat sitting.
No, then you go to food for last and you buy whatever's on clearance.
So you only go to the movie theater for Stewart Little too.
Yeah.
Everyone at home knows it exactly what we're talking about.
I love it.
I love love it.
Hey, but pretty soon there's going to be a Dutch Bros there.
Hey, there's Dutch Bros everywhere now.
What's up with that Plaza?
Yeah, it's building.
It's going up pretty quick.
It's coming quick..
That almost seems too high for that part of Cat City.
I don't know why.
You know what I mean?
Like,
Anyway, Cat City, yeah, that's
where all the cats go, and that's where you go. all the best prostitutes, I think.
I don't know.
But we are at the point now, guys.
Let's go ahead and give our final
reviews and socials and all that good stuff.
I will start.
Donnie, I'm going to start with you.
Give us your socials and we record people finding and your final thoughts.
Yeah, you can find me at underscore Donnie Appleseed.
I' spelled out Woodward.
Under.
Instagram.
What are my final thoughts?
I like the movie.
This was a movie that I wanted to see, but I didn't catch it while he was in theaters.
So I was really anticipating it when you guys said that's what we were watching.
I liked it all the way till the end.
I don't know.
I just felt like it have it could have ended a lot earlier and it was kind of it's hard to drag on for me.
So I kind of I kind of lost interest in it towards the end.
It was like Lord of the Rings.
It had like five different endings.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, but it was good.
Like I totally, I totally get it.
I totally, I totally know why she did that, the director,
but for me, it would have been better if she just like ended it sooner.
Where can people find you, Donnie?
Oh, um, Instagram underscore Donnie Flesey.
Heck yeah.
And you're on TikTok.
You do your car stuff on TikTok, right?
Oh, yeah, that's my car page.
If you guys are interested.
It's for people who like hatchbacks and station wagons.
It's Hatchhead wagon Alliance.
That's also
All right, thanks, that.
And Kyle, let's go to you next.
What are your final thoughts on this movie and where can people find you?
And what are you working on?
I thought it was a great film.
I saw this when
it came out, though, so a lot longer ago than all of you.
So this was a good refresher on it.
You would think that, you know, demiir would know that
looks still matter from all those years ago when she was Esmeralda hanging out with the hunchback of Notre Dame.
But.
I totally understood that reference.
That was her.
So I guess, you know, she forgot that, but, hey, you know, that's all good.
It was uh, yeah, it was good when I saw it.
And
yeah, I liked it a lot.
And like I said before, I really like like Cronenberg and
stuff, so it was very up my alley.
And yeah.
My Instagram
is selfies Food and Pets with an underscore between each word.
I don't know when this
episode is dropping, but I have a new song that comes out on Friday
and that's exciting.
And, uh, yeah.
What's the name of the song?
Oh, the name of the song is Hot Topic.
Nice.
Oh, hell yeah.
It' come on after that, but we'll still push it on our socials still.
So don't worry about that.
Yeah, yeah.
So it just is what I mean.
Nice.
Congratulations.
That's awesome.
Well, thank you for that.
I, I have to say, yeah, Demi Moore,
not only is she high, but she has a hot voice because when I saw Hunchback in Notre Dame, I was like, wow.
Like, Esmerald is already a hot character, but she also sounds hot.
Like, you know, so perfect casting.
Is that your hear me out, Adrian?
Not even hear me out.
Like, no questions taken, by the way, on that.
You can't change my mind.
Justin, you tell us spinal thoughts and socials and what you're working on?
I fucking hated this movie. and I hate all of you.
Just kidding.
Anyway, no.
You get me with that.
Yeah, this this was an enjoyable watch.
It had reference to a lot of different movies that I like watching.
I'm not too much of a body horror movie person.
I think like
I don't think this movie.
Okay.
Knowing the talk on the internet and
seeing the advertisements for the substance in particular, everybody
was hyping it up, playing it up.
And although it was a very good movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don't think the hype was all that much warranted.
I would still say I, as far as like
comparing movies go, and there's really not
you know, too much to compare them because they're completely different movies.
I still think Enora deserved to win over this film.
I think Honora was very good.
But, but like
I don't go out of my way to watch like human Centipede or things like that.
Like I'm also reminded of like Tusk tons of different body
horror movies out there or even Invasion
of the Body Snatchers is another good one.
I do, I think this movie lives up to
some of the hype.
It is a very well-made movie, very thought
out, detail oriented film.
I think Demi Moore did a fantastic job.
And what was the other actress's name?
I think she was Margaret Quey.
Yeah, I think she was a very talented actress as well.
But I I think the
hype of it from the internet kind of like made me think it was going to be something else.
They made it seem like it was super shocking.
And as you know, we've seen
a bunch of terrible movies.
Aorbian film, in particular.
I feel like over the years, I'm
just so desensitized that nothing shocks me at all anymore.
Like, I've seen some fucked up shit.
And I'm like, man, that also takes a away the
enjoyment of like certain horror movies.
Although, which is why I feel like I
lean more towards like the paranormal stuff because although
I'm not entirely a believer, I still feel like
that could potentially be things that can happen.
And not saying that this isn't as believable,
but there comes a point in time where it's like,
it's hard to separate like reality from like this cartoony
like grotesque just to be grotesque, you know,
kind of style that some directors adopt just to add shock value.
I don't think this movie is all that shocking.
And quite frankly, I think this movie is a little bit predictable.
Although
I will say, like a lot of the prosthetic,
special effects, practical effects that they have in this movie, which
I don't think there was really much CGI other than when her eyes
were like fucking changing and shit.
I think they used
their practical effects extremely well.
Even the last scene where the blood just squirting
all over the audience, which I also want to say, like reminds
me of Carrie as well, just to throw that in there.
So, like, I appreciate this, the references.
I appreciate the nods to other films
as well that kind of paved the way for this one.
I feel like maybe like in the special effects of department, if it didn't win
anything, I feel like this movie should have taken the special
effects, Oscar at least, because it was very impressive,
even for, because I didn't get to see this in theaters.
So I forget what came out the same year this came out.
But as far as I can tell, like this, the
special effects in this movie are fantastic, really well done.
Anyway, I'm going to give this film a four out of five.
My name is Justin, by the way,
you can find me on social media at Shibs the Zombie
SHIBBS the Zombie.
You go in there and you can follow me on all the other stuff
that I'm working on too.
And that's it.
Well, thanks for that, Joe. Justin.
By the way, I watched this on my phone.
My God intended, damn it.
That is the true cinematic experience.
Alex, let's go to you next.
Final thoughts where can people find you?
Do we care Everybody else's scores?
Sorry, did we get
Are we doing that?
Is everybody scoring it?
I mean, we don't have to, but we can.
Oh.
But go ahead, Alex.
I like.
So, I really love this film.
I thought it was really good.
Like Justin.
It's a four out of five.
It is a body horror film.
I was listening to an interview with the director
on the movie podcast today.
And
she's like saying, you know, while this is a
body horror film, she doesn't really particularly think of it as
a horror film, per se.
It's like makes a lot of
draws a lot of intention from body
horror, but it's a lot, it's a lot more than that.
It's like, it's funny.
It's it's It's hilarious.
It's sad.
It's like a drama, but like it's just, there's just a lot of elements to it.
I think that's what she kind of means by that whole thing.
It's a body definitely body horror, but it's not
she wouldn't really classify it as a horror genre film.
But yeah, some of the funny things I thought,
though, is like, like when I, that scene
with her knee when she was trying to like bend it so she would stand up.
I felt that was like, dude, that happened to me, man.
Man, my knees.
I have
And then, when she became
the older version of herself, like
she she crawls out of that whole fit into the hallway and then she falls down.
She looks like she breaks her hip or whatever.
But then all of a sudden she's like, she calls the thing to get the termination.
And then she's like running.
I'm like, there's some continuity parts.
I'm like, okay
that seems weird.
And then she's like, how
is she like stumbling and falling in a bunch of
pain and she just like all of a sudden like has superpowers to like run?
You've seen the song dragging it where she's like dragging that body?
Yeah, she's dragging Sue's body.
That shit was fast, dude.
I was like, whoa, she's powerful.
But then again, it kind of like made sense.
Like when
Sue was, like beating up
Elizabeth, that kind of made sense because I guess if you think about it that, that all that
spinal fluid she was taking, it was kind of like super steroids for her.
So she's like, like being Chun Li from like Street Fighter
and they're destroying like Elizabeth's chest by kicking it, you know?
Um, but you know, another funny thing that I noticed was like, uh,
Elizabeth's Mask, like the prosthetics.
Why didn't like all old people like prosthetic look like the guy from Six Flags?
Six Flags commercial guy?
That dancing dude?
Yeah, that guy.
They all seem to look like that, right.
Oh yeah.
Overall, Just Uncanny Valley.
Like I said,
Overall, four stars.
You can find me at Daily Dares and
you can go to my link tree on my profile
and find all the stuff there on Instagram.
Alright righty.
Thank you for that, Alex.
Arnold, let's go to you next.
Yeah, so, I
thought it was a pretty wild concept of, you
know, the idea of, okay, you know, how just they
came up with this movie, like, okay, yeah, you get this serum
and then, okay, you become young, but it crawls out of your body
you know, like just the whole idea.
I was like, oh, that's, you know, it's all pretty wild, you know, to think of it.
But to be able to build and
come up with, you know, the different things that they want to
talk about,
you know, like how people have, you know, like these problems of
wanting to, they're not really problems, you know, the people wanting
to look younger, people afraid of getting older and, you know, being able to
do cinema to talk about that.
And the extremes that, you know, some people might feel
that they could probably relate to.
I, uh, when
I watched this movie, I started it actually last night.
I know I finished watching the movie like
just an hour ago or so.
But I started it late last night
And I had to stop it because I was just getting tired.
I didn't have any food.
You know, I was I've been trying to to
not eat after like four because I
was trying to shed a few pounds pounds before going to Vegas. during this movie, that's for sure.
What?
You wouldn't want to eat during this movie, that's for sure.
I know I wouldn't.
Oh, well, the whole time I was like, damn, I want some chips for some popcorn.
So, you know what?
Do you guys like popcorn during movies?
I I'm always like one of the popcorn.
But for Oddly I felt like
tired maybe because I didn't have any food.
I kind of felt almost like, man,
if I didn't have to worry about this, if I could just have like some sort of serum or
something where I could just look good for the weekend, you
know, I wouldn't have to I wouldn't worry about this, but
I'm just messing around.
But I thought this movie was really good.
It was entertaining.
Some of the parts was like, you know,
like, oh, what's when she's pulling her teeth out and you're like, oh, damn, you even
her nails too.m like covering my,
the eyes of my my granddaughter, who's going to be one-year-old in August.
I was like, don't look at that.
And then she's just laughing, though.
She was actually laughing at the part where the it
was a monstrel Elizzun, Elazu, Elis?
Elisu or something.
Yeah.
I don't
She was laughing at that part..
The practical
effects of how they made like, you know, the
face popping on the side and like the boob falling out and
that was that was pretty funny.
And the amount of blood, like, wow,
that was that was from one body, covered the whole audience, even the whole hallway painted it.
Yeah.
That that was pretty pretty amazing. feel a little dizzy after that.
Yeah, especially with the music, you're like, oh, like that.
But I thought it was a really, it was a really good movie.
It was really entertaining.
Would I watch it again, maybe.
I would give it a solid three and a half.
And y'all can find me on all
the socialss, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, at HornyCo.
Nice.
Thank you, Arnold, for that.
Final thoughts for me really quick.
I enjoyed it.
I I thought this was a breath of fresh air.
People always talk about, oh, Hollywood's run out of ideas.
I don't know.
There's plenty of good original concepts out there being made by
you know, directors and writers that you may, may or may not have heard of, you know?
So you just have to look for it.
You have to know where to look.
And this week was nominated for some Oscars.
So, you know, not exactly low key, right?
But
it did feel like a breath fr air.
I enjoyed it from a storytelling perspective,
the themes of how women are treated in Hollywood and just
sort of women's bodily autonomy in general was not lost
on me, especially given the current sort of political climate we're in, right.
But beyond that, I thought I was just such
a shocking way to do that kind of story.
And I didn''t know where it was going.
And I mean that in the best way possible.
I always enjoy stuff.
I went in pretty blind with this movie.
I didn't know much about it going in.
I knew it was nominated.
I knew there was some
body horror elements and some themes of that sort
of thing, but I don't know beyond that much else.
So it was a nice, pleasant surprise.
So thank you, Arnold, for choosing this.
It was a good movie.
