The Substance (2024) is Body Horror With a Message — and It Hits HARD —Ep.29

Our horror hostess is back from the dead (well... from bronchitis) and ready to dive into The Substance (2024), a feminist sci-fi horror film starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. This movie is gory, grotesque, and surprisingly full of substance—pun intended. 😉 In this episode, Chelsea explores how The Substance tackles beauty standards, self-worth, and addiction. It’s gross, it’s bold, and it’s exactly the kind of horror we need more of. Let’s talk body horror, gender, and goo. Shoutout to Natasha Hernandez with her online jewelry store!
