• Episode 52 - All Style and Substance

  Returning to the AndyPlex to deep dive into the body horror blowout "The Substance" (2024) is horror podcaster "Everything is Scary" - Amy Drolet! Join these two as they go down the slimy and bloody rabbit hole of "The Substance." Why is this movie a powerful allegory for having a body, facing the tremendous pressures of the world around us, and advertisers? How is this film a unique lens into the female experience particularly in the world of showbiz? The Substance is a stylish visual rollercoaster ride, bloody horror piece, but is about the dangers of not loving and supporting ourselves. This film transcends the genre and has won Golden Globes and an Oscar. Also being nominated for Best Picture - this bloody romp is more than meets the eye and has plenty to say about well...Life with a body.
