'The Substance' Movie Review

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200
All right, everybody, it's time
to pump it up.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,200
I'm so happy you're joining us
today taking care of yourself.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,640
And what better way to do that
than to listen to a bite of with

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,520
me, Derek and Noah.
And guess what?

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,720
We're talking about the
substance today.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,080
And I think at the end, you're
going to feel better about you.

7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:21,400
No.
Not the finger.

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,480
Hi, it's been a hot minute.
One hot.

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,680
Minute, you know, the election
happened and then we were like,

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,920
bye you're.
Like we need a little bit of a

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,520
mental health break.
A lot has happened.

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,200
If you're following us on social
media, you probably have seen

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,840
stuff, got cat problems, got
sick, got celebrated an

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,720
anniversary election.
A lot has happened in the ABO

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880
household.
We decided to go back a little

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,640
bit in the year and talk about
something that we think needs to

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080
be talked.
About yes, absolutely, 100% it

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,640
needs to be talked about.
And Derek's finger.

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,560
If you have not seen the
substance, this probably might

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,520
not make sense, but if you have
seen it, it does make sense.

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,960
I love this finger.
I'm a fan of witch fingers in

22
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,680
general.
This is the first time I've

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,480
painted a nail of a witch
finger.

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,320
I mean, I'm going to go try and
wash it off.

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,520
It's disgusting, yeah.
It's great.

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,480
So before we get into the
discussion and review of the

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,240
substance, make sure you're
following us socials.

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,840

comment, make sure you leave the
reviews, all of the amazing

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,680
things that you normally hear.
It's the same thing all around.

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Also, just so people know
because I think I I did get a

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920
message last week of somebody
being like, I didn't know you

37
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,240
guys had videos.
Yes on YouTube you can see our

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400
video versions of these
episodes.

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Also on Spotify you can see
video versions.

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,160
So if you would rather watch
instead of just listen, those

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,600
are your options.
Absolutely.

42
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,720
So we are going to fully issue a
spoiler warning for this 'cause

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,760
we're going to be spoiling the
entire movie of The Substance.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Yes.
You ready to jump in?

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Yeah.
All right, so let us officially

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,480
take a bite of The Substance.
Written and directed by Corley

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Fargay, movie star turned
fitness guru Elizabeth Sparkle

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,440
is put out to pasture by shrimp
slopping studio exec RV.

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,280
She turns to the glowing green
substance to become a better,

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,080
younger version of herself.
Her body gives birth to Shining

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,360
Sue, but Sue takes the advantage
of the switch and the bright

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,760
stars go supernova.
I didn't like the mention of the

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440
shrimp right up the top.
You know, here we are.

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,160
That is the there is horror and
then there is Dennis Quaid

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,080
eating shrimp.
Just disgusting.

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Different levels of and just.
So much shrimp.

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,200
It's it's.
Not even like just like a normal

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,800
shrimp cocktail of like 5
shrimp.

59
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,920
It was like 30 shrimp.
It was too much like I This is

60
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,680
the review.
Yes, this is the most important

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480
part of the movie is how much
shrimp Dennis Quaid ate.

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,720
I, I mean, I do feel like our
show is called a bite of, which

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,720
is like food, right?
But we're talking more like

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440
consuming things.
I feel like this is fair.

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520
This is the most that our
namesake is going to be in this

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,640
episode.
I do feel like there is a

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,560
relationship with food in this
movie, but that was a lot.

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,160
I think looking back on this
movie, that was probably the

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080
most horrifying part to me.
Also just thinking about that

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,680
much shrimp, it's like.
Just thinking about that much

71
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,960
shrimp.
RIP to the shrimp.

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520
I think that there needs to be a
trigger warning for this movie.

73
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,960
It's like slopping shrimp close
up of gnarly, like, you know,

74
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,120
yellow teeth.
Lots of smoking, just violence

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800
with drumsticks.
You know, that's a lot.

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Needles.
Lots of needles.

77
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Yeah.
So before we get into the

78
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,040
specifics, what did you think?
Give your general opinions of

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,160
the substance?
General opinion of this is that

80
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,680
I loved it, which I think that
you were kind of surprised

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,520
about.
Very.

82
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,800
But there's just something about
it that it starts off as a

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,560
commentary on beauty, on
Hollywood, on, you know,

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,960
relationships, but then it just
turns completely, 100% absurd.

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640
And that's what I love about it.
By the end of the film, it's not

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,480
taking itself too.
Serious sorry I just Derek is

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
very aggressive with the
pointing in the witch finger.

88
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,000
Every time he does it I just
feel a jab like.

89
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,280
When I have a prop, I'm going to
use it I I think it does exactly

90
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,520
what it wanted to do, and it
does it well.

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,480
I think that's the thing that I
appreciated most about this.

92
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,440
This is actually this director's
second like movie.

93
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,640
Essentially.
They did Revenge.

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,440
I believe that was 2017.
Exactly what that movie sounds

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,240
like.
The thing that I'm liking about

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,600
this director and the commentary
that they do is that they give

97
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,520
you what they set out to do.
And I'm liking this like balance

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
between humor and horror and
satirical and just like

99
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,120
sledgehammer with the
commentary, it's a delicate

100
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,240
balance to play.
And and in this one, I do feel

101
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,960
like it, it's more it crescendos
and builds into the absurd.

102
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,320
But that ride to get to that
final scene, it goes through all

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,320
those layers of being satirical.
So you know, with the scalpel, I

104
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
would say.
And then by the end of it, it's

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,080
just a sledgehammer of like,
this is what I'm trying to say.

106
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,520
And as we talk about this, I'm I
I do want to know your opinions

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,560
on the end of the third act of
like, did it work for you If it

108
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520
didn't?
But yeah, I think I really

109
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,960
enjoyed this movie.
I was so surprised that you

110
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000
liked it.
I remember when we were trying

111
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440
to think of like, what did we
want to do after Agatha?

112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520
You know, we're kind of feeling
like we're in our feelings,

113
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,640
right?
We're going through a lot of

114
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,080
things.
And it's like, I don't know,

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,080
let's look at what we missed.
It's like Demi Moore, the

116
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,760
substance.
And then I was like, oh God,

117
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,120
it's body horror.
Don't tell Derek.

118
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Yeah, I think I, I mean, I knew
it was body horror going into

119
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,160
it.
And I, and I think because I

120
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240
knew that I was able to brace
myself.

121
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,080
And when you're, you know, in
the comfort of your own home

122
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,680
watching something like this,
you know, you can kind of turn

123
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
away and not look when you want
to and kind of Yelp out loud.

124
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,880
Which I think when seeing those
very visceral scenes allowed me

125
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560
to kind of pull away from it if
I needed to, rather than if I'm

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480
locked into a theater trying not
to make too much noise.

127
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,840
Yeah, that is true.
You can't be Brenda from Scary

128
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,400
Movie and just full on
commentary at the screen.

129
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200
And she eats chicken in the pen.
So interesting.

130
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,960
She could be watching the
substance.

131
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,160
I would like to see Brenda
watching the substance.

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,840
You know, the what you were
talking about kind of the

133
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:05,480
absurdity at the end.
And like, stick with me for a

134
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,600
minute here.
This movie, in a way, felt very

135
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,880
much like a heightened, more
artistic version of Drop Dead

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Gorgeous.
Yeah, well, yeah, right.

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360
They're trying to say similarish
things.

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,920
Right.
And like it was drop dead

139
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840
gorgeous.
It starts off kind of like this,

140
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,360
like small town, you know, funny
characters.

141
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,960
And then it gets into a murder
mystery kind of thing.

142
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,240
And then by the end, I mean,
spoiler alert, the swan ate her

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,720
baby, you know what I mean?
And then finally, there's like a

144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,960
crazy shootout where Amber
Atkins dreams come true.

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,760
But so it just reaches that
absurd point.

146
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
And so if you're willing to go
along with the ride, I think the

147
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,480
substance kind of does that
similar thing where that third

148
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,120
act is just completely like,
you're just kind of going like,

149
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,960
wait, what is happening?
But you have to let yourself go

150
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,040
for it.
This one ain't my baby.

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,960
This one ain't my baby.
So I needed that in this movie.

152
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,880
Yes, absolutely.
Blood everywhere.

153
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Yeah, I I agree.
I think so.

154
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,040
I the gore, let's talk about the
gore and the, the prosthetics

155
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,120
and the tactileness of this
movie.

156
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,520
I you know, there's levels of
body horror, right?

157
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,160
And I think that there's body
horrors that that is done really

158
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,560
well.
And a lot of times when there is

159
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,800
body horror and something it's
trying to say some type of

160
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,160
message or it heightens
something within that horror

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,840
genre.
So, you know, you have like John

162
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,720
Carpenter's The Thing, which
paranoia you add that with all

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960
the practical effects and all
this body horror of the shape

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,360
shifting thing, you could do CGI
or something that makes the

165
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,360
substance just kind of look, I
don't know, not as like squelchy

166
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,840
and like gross.
But they went the route of doing

167
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,080
a lot of POV, a lot of tactile
Ness of the practical effects.

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,920
And I loved that.
I feel like this movie coming in

169
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,520
like like 2 hours and 30 minutes
is a lot.

170
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,080
It's a long movie, not a lot of
dialogue, but having it do these

171
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,920
fish eyed lenses and all of the
technical nature of it really

172
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
kind of put you in it.
How did you feel about those

173
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,560
elements that they used?
Well, I think just going to the

174
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:20,720
body horror part of it is the
commentary there for me is what

175
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,800
are we as human beings willing
to do to fit in, feel better

176
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,080
about ourselves?
What are we willing to do

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,080
because others opinions of us
change how we perceive

178
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,240
ourselves.
And so it's a really interesting

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,560
thing, you know, of watching her
birth this other.

180
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
I don't know.
Is it another version of her two

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,240
point?
OI don't know what it is, but

182
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,400
and then have to sew herself
back up right.

183
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,440
See these stitches, watch her
pull the spinal fluid out of

184
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,520
herself.
You know, it's, it's so

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
sickening, but at the same time,
I mean, just to share a little

186
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,040
bit about myself, when I was
like 19 or 20 years old, I had

187
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,360
liposuction.
I had a mini tummy tuck.

188
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,760
And I remember after it just
looking at myself.

189
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:14,880
And I had this port where
liquids would come out of myself

190
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,640
and I would have to empty it
out.

191
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,920
And it was just such a weird
thing and so freaky.

192
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160
But it was something I wanted to
do for myself to feel better

193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,720
about myself at such a young
age.

194
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
So it's like that body horror
when you're getting plastic

195
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520
surgery and things like that.
And, and by all means, do

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,680
whatever you want to do to make
yourself feel better about

197
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:37,280
yourself or whatever.
But it's creepy right when

198
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,360
you're thinking about modifying
your body and how kind of

199
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,640
violent it can be with
liposuction and rhinoplasty.

200
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,520
And so I think this movie is
like, although it's heightened,

201
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,000
it's taking that because it is a
reality of what we go through.

202
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Right.
This movie is very odd because

203
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,800
it doesn't give you a time
period, but it feels like the

204
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,560
80s and I feel like even to this
day a lot of people like, I

205
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,080
don't know, ideal size, the 80s.
It's like that's the movement,

206
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040
right?
That's the Jane Fonda, you know,

207
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,920
workout videos and stuff like
that.

208
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Like that's the epitome of
beauty.

209
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,280
And I feel like with this movie,
while it's doing commentary and

210
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,800
all of that, right, it's also
not, you can't really place it,

211
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,000
but it's also timeless things.
There's pagers in this movie,

212
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,240
you know, But then there's still
like, flat screen.

213
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,360
TV's and cell phones.
And cell phones.

214
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,640
So it's like interesting and how
they mix this without actually

215
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,080
telling your time period.
And then, you know, it's in LA,

216
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,760
right?
The opening shot shows the star

217
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,320
of Elizabeth sparkle and it
snows in LA.

218
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,440
But this movie doesn't tell you
anything on why it's doing this.

219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,560
It's just, it just is.
And I think that adds to the the

220
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:49,440
bizarre nature of this movie of
like, wait, OK, I guess we're we

221
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,440
won't know, right?
It's just like everything is a

222
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,120
cartoon of itself except for Sue
and Elizabeth, and I think

223
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120
that's a really interesting way
to do a movie.

224
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,800
It it, it reminds me of the
horror film It Follows, right?

225
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,720
Where it had that same feeling
of like modern but yet timeless,

226
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240
timeless.
And we're looking at these kids

227
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,360
and they're kind of dressed
indistinctly as far as fashion

228
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,120
is concerned.
But yet the one friend has her

229
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,240
cell phone or I mean her
Seashell e-reader, which is kind

230
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,480
of new and interesting.
So, but I like that, right?

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,240
It makes it feel like you said,
timeless in that sense.

232
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,920
And that if you think about it,
these issues that it's talking

233
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,880
about have always existed in
some way.

234
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,920
And what it means to be someone
who, I mean, I think they

235
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,960
mentioned kind of in passing
that she won an Oscar at some

236
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,680
point.
Some type of award, right?

237
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,640
But now she's kind of quote too
old.

238
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:49,840
Let's real quick, I want to say
she Demi Moore is 50 in her

239
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,080
fifties, right?
The character is 50.

240
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,800
She doesn't look 50.
So the fact that they're all

241
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,840
saying this, right?
It's like you, you have to when

242
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,720
when you get an actor to do
this, right, especially somebody

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,080
of this caliber and this beauty,
you have to have them like go

244
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,120
all in.
And they did.

245
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,240
But it's just, it's so funny to
see this of like, no, you're

246
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,320
the, you're the image that
people try to be and then we're

247
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,160
seeing you try to chase that
because you're like a has been

248
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520
or you're like past your prime
and you're not.

249
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,000
And it's so fucked up that
people still do that even though

250
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,280
they're the goal that people are
trying to reach.

251
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,280
So I just think that's really
interesting.

252
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120
When I think about this movie
and like speaking about Demi

253
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,720
Moore, this movie feels like a
trap that's been set for us

254
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,720
because we do that, right?
We're, we're watching Demi Moore

255
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,280
stand naked in a mirror kind of,
although she's not verbalizing

256
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,080
it, picking herself apart in
some way constantly.

257
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,200
And we're, we're saying in our
minds or maybe out loud, Oh my

258
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,360
gosh, but she's so beautiful.
How can she do this?

259
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,160
And but that's kind of the trap,
right, is that we as the viewer

260
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,200
are commenting on what she looks
like and are watching her pick

261
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,800
herself apart.
But the whole movie is her

262
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,280
dealing with that and going to
extremes to stop that.

263
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,960
So we're kind of part of the
machine in a way of, of what

264
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,160
this movie is saying.
And so you can't help but 'cause

265
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,400
she is stunningly gorgeous,
right?

266
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,680
But we're and we're commenting
on it, which is what's happening

267
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,160
to her in the.
Movie both leads, Margaret Quali

268
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,040
and Debbie Moore.
Beautiful that I really

269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,280
appreciate a movie that can go
more than two hours going closer

270
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160
to three with hardly any
dialogue.

271
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,360
I would love to know like how
much actual dialogue in the is

272
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,400
in this movie.
I believe the black market like

273
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,320
dealer of the substance might
actually say more lines than

274
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,720
Demi Moore does like I actually
think he does.

275
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,520
But they both just so phenomenal
and emoting what's happening or

276
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,800
what they're trying to convey
just in their expressions or in

277
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,320
their actual actions.
So what did you think about the

278
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,000
substance?
Let's let's, let's kind of

279
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,600
change gears because I know
we're talking a lot about the

280
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920
message, right?
But let's talk about the

281
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,320
substance and like the actual
steps and everything that goes

282
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,320
into it and like the lengths
that people will go to to do

283
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,840
what they want, right?
I think it's effective.

284
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400
And and when you're kind of
wrapping your head around it,

285
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,520
you know, I'm going into this
movie going like, does it turn

286
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,480
her younger?
What?

287
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Like what actually happens?
But in literally the first scene

288
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,240
of the movie, we see an egg,
it's injected with a substance

289
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,600
and the yoke splits into two.
So then, you know, right off the

290
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,160
bat, oh, it becomes a different
thing.

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,080
They become a different thing.
And so, OK, I got that.

292
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,680
But when you're watching the
Steps for the first time, it's

293
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,600
horrifying.
It's so.

294
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Fucking cool.
Oh my.

295
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,040
Gosh, cool.
It's.

296
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,760
Just and then you're and so
right, because it's it's sci-fi,

297
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,280
it's body horror and you're like
watching this person split from

298
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,480
behind and birthing a whole
other human being, but yet

299
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,200
they're one.
Yeah, I think, you know, there

300
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,920
is a message that that is there
of like, regardless, you are the

301
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,040
same person.
Like if you think that you're

302
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520
not as beautiful or you think
you are your younger self and

303
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,400
your older self are the same
person, right?

304
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120
That I love.
I just love how it worked.

305
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,000
I love that there was like the
seven days you have to switch

306
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,320
off, which I think is an
interesting thing to have.

307
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,240
Then our character of Elizabeth
see the success of Sue that is

308
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,400
taking her place, even though it
is her.

309
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
There was one thing that I
wasn't too clear on of this is

310
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,240
like, do they know?
Like I guess prior to the

311
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800
birthing, like are, do they have
all the memories of each other?

312
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,520
And then cuz then it seems like
after whenever one is asleep and

313
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,600
one is awake, they don't share
those things.

314
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,320
So I, I was a little confused on
that, but I guess that does make

315
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,280
it harder to like remind
yourself that you're 1.

316
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,720
But I just, I loved, I loved how
the substance worked.

317
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,480
I thought it was so cool to have
something literally come out of

318
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,480
you to split you into not even a
younger version of yourself,

319
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,440
just like a different version of
yourself.

320
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,400
And then the lengths that you
will go, the pain that you'll

321
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,839
put yourself through to achieve
that beauty or to achieve that

322
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,359
goal is crazy, right?
And.

323
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,839
Of, you know, if you haven't
seen it yet, right, if you go

324
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,240
over those seven days, basically
you take from each other.

325
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,200
And so the Sue character ends up
going much further than she's

326
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,880
supposed to.
And Demi Moore keeps kind of

327
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,960
falling apart, right?
So the first time we see the

328
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,320
finger, then it goes to her legs
and so on and so forth.

329
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,240
And you're watching this
character and you are kind of

330
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,240
rooting for Elizabeth and
saying, stop doing it, you know,

331
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,320
kill her.
Don't do this to yourself.

332
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,160
But she can't seem to stop it,
right?

333
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Right.
And even when she has aged, you

334
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,800
know, 20-30 years and you're
she's about to do it, she still

335
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,360
can't bring herself to stop it
because there is that connection

336
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,960
and she's watching this other
part of herself reach fame and

337
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,840
stardom, right?
I think like surface level,

338
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,200
right, this movie is talking
about like the beauty stanzas

339
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,720
that are put on women or just in
everybody on how, you know, the

340
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,280
patriarchy is of like I I think
a lot of the men, especially

341
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,880
Dennis Quaid, which like fucked
Dennis Quaid as a person.

342
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,720
But like especially in this
movie is a cartoon version of

343
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,600
like patriarchy and like the
pressures that they put on

344
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,200
women.
But I liked that because it

345
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,600
wasn't trying to hide anything
even like the executives, right?

346
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,080
All of the men in this movie are
exactly how you would think they

347
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,000
would be played.
So I liked them doing that.

348
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,760
But I think there's like
different layers of this, like

349
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,200
surface level.
It's like, yeah, there's those

350
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,040
things, right?
And then it's like what you were

351
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560
talking about, like Hollywood,
how Hollywood and the beauty

352
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,120
standards are put on people.
Then it's like the pain that we

353
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:04,000
will put ourselves through even
though we know like she's

354
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,240
literally seeing herself fall
apart and age and get gross and

355
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,840
disgusting.
And she's like, well, as long as

356
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,880
like this, like that's not her
in some ways.

357
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,800
There's a, there's a, there's a
certain point when it's just

358
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,960
like, that's not you anymore
because you're literally

359
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,240
fighting yourself.
You've lost yourself along the

360
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320
way and that.
Version of her is hurting her

361
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,880
on.
Purpose on both she's hurting

362
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,680
herself and then the the younger
version Sue is purposely hurting

363
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880
where she came from.
It's just, it's so fucked up,

364
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,360
but it's so effective because
they do it physically, right?

365
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,960
Yes.
I wanted to talk about the

366
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960
Harvey character and one of the
things I noticed about him, and

367
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,920
I'm kind of curious of maybe
your thoughts of why they did

368
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840
this, is that the whole time
he's wearing these kind of like

369
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,520
steel heeled boots and you hear
him clomping and clomping

370
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,080
around.
Like why do you think they made

371
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,120
that decision?
I just, I think they just like

372
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,440
tried to put everything they can
into like you immediately know

373
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,560
who he is and what he would do
the second that you see him.

374
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,840
It totally.
And I, and I almost wonder if

375
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,360
it's something like even with
the way he walks and the way he

376
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:19,160
acts and the way he eats, it
shows that men can be loud and

377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,560
disgusting and stomp around and
take up so much space and they

378
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,560
still get what they want and
they're still in control.

379
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,360
Whereas a woman has to be demure
and quiet demure.

380
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,600
And.
Demi demure.

381
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960
Very mindful very soon.
Exactly and.

382
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,440
So in order to survive, they
have to kind of be quiet at all

383
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,920
times, you know.
And so that juxtaposition

384
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,440
between the two is a is really
interesting just in the

385
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,560
costuming of one of the
characters.

386
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,040
You know, all of his outfits are
so loud and so garish, and it

387
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,840
never goes against him in any
way.

388
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960
He still has all the control in
the situation.

389
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,640
Yeah.
And also.

390
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,200
Let's be real, this is for like
a lower network TV show.

391
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,840
Like what did he say?
Our our viewer, our viewership

392
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,400
was like 42 and then it went up
to like 200 something.

393
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,120
It's like really like this is
you're acting like a hotshot and

394
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,320
this is what you're producing.
OK, fine.

395
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,000
So it's just funny, right?
It's like even though his

396
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,840
Kingdom is so tiny and small and
really means nothing, he still

397
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
acts that way, right?
He acts like he is this ruler of

398
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,520
this bigger thing than it
actually is.

399
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,600
Typical man, typical man,
typical man.

400
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,080
So out of all the body horror,
out of all the disgusting

401
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,920
things, what was your favorite
and what was the one that you

402
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,720
just could not handle?
I have to know these two.

403
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,720
My OK, so favorite could.
Be seen.

404
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,160
It doesn't have to necessarily
be body stuff, OK.

405
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,920
One of my favorite scenes which
is interesting is when Elizabeth

406
00:21:53,120 --> 00:22:00,440
Demi Moore her revenge on Sue is
to cook as much fatty French

407
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,800
food as possible and leave the
apartment disgusting and a mess.

408
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,400
And she ate.
It and she ate.

409
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,840
It and but it's just like you
were talking about before, just

410
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,680
these close-ups of her, just her
losing her mind in a sense, you

411
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,120
know, she's beating these eggs
and they're they're just going

412
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:21,240
all over her, these yolks and
her hair and her eyes are Milky

413
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,560
and she's just out of her mind.
But I loved it.

414
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,680
I couldn't help but just be
like, that was so good.

415
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,360
I think my least favorite scene
like cover.

416
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,880
Your eyes can't look at it.
Oh.

417
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,360
Well, a lot of all the needle
stuff I couldn't watch because

418
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:45,760
it got pretty intense, but I did
not enjoy the chicken drumstick

419
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,800
coming out of Sue's belly
button.

420
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,480
That one I there was multiple
times in this movie where I I

421
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,840
love horror right?
I can do so many like I does not

422
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,080
bother me whatever this movie,
there was moments where I was

423
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,640
just like, are they really doing
this like OK cool like let's see

424
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,400
where this comes from.
The fact that she pulled a full

425
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,600
chicken leg out of her belly
button, that started.

426
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,600
In her ass.
Was amazing.

427
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,880
It's so it is so good.
And then, you know who would

428
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,440
like this movie?
Probably, you know, people who

429
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,600
watch like Doctor Pimple Popper,
they would love this.

430
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Hello.
Because it's whenever those show

431
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,160
up on my Explorer feed, I'm
like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

432
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Yeah.
I.

433
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,040
Mean, that's body horror though,
right?

434
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,520
It's like anything that does
that has to do with the body is

435
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,000
just like it grosses people out.
And I think there's a moment,

436
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,240
especially with needles, they do
a lot of needlework in this.

437
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,640
And I think they knew that,
right.

438
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,880
I'm curious of the planning of
how the substance works is like,

439
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,520
no, we need to have like needles
in there as much as possible

440
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,960
because when you get the spinal
fluid out, the needle is like

441
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
huge.
It's I'm like, I don't even know

442
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,040
how that's going up the spinal
whatever.

443
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,440
I don't know how it works.
I I will say, I think the one

444
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,480
that.
My.

445
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,200
OK, my favorite scene is and I
think it's a really quiet 1 and

446
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,200
I think it's so, so effective is
when she finally gets oust out

447
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,800
on a date.
I think it's Fred, right, the

448
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
character's name, who seems
harmless, right?

449
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,600
He just doesn't typically look
like somebody that like Demi

450
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,120
Moore's caliber would go for.
Yeah, let's say he.

451
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,120
Doesn't look like Bruce Willis
or Ashton Kutcher.

452
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,720
Not at all.
But could be a great guy.

453
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,640
And so she gets ready for the
night, right?

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,640
And she gets, she takes so long
to get ready and she constantly

455
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040
goes back to the mirror, changes
her makeup, completely changes

456
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,760
her, like add stuff.
And she doesn't end up going

457
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:42,400
because she just can't be happy
with herself.

458
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840
And I think that was so
effective.

459
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,720
I was like that it only it like
started making me tear up a

460
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,240
little bit 'cause I was like
that.

461
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,040
Like, even though that was the
quietest scene in this movie,

462
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,920
that was really effective.
And what's interesting?

463
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,680
About that scene is that at that
point in the movie, the only

464
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,360
thing that has turned in that
moment is just her finger,

465
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:03,000
right?
And she can.

466
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,840
Cover and she has.
Gloves on, but still, it's just

467
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,080
affected her completely, yeah.
Yeah.

468
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,640
What was your least?
Favorite.

469
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:16,160
It has to be when that that the
infection on the spine and she

470
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,960
kept going in to get it right.
I was like, that's like a lot.

471
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,320
And then like when it like when
it came out and it was like

472
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,680
black, I was just like, no, no.
And I don't know.

473
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,720
If you noticed this actually in
the scene that I liked with the

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,560
with her cooking the food, she's
wearing a white robe and on the

475
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,840
back of the white robe it's
stained right where that wound

476
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,760
is because it's just bleeding
and pussy and she's not taking

477
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,360
care of it in any way.
I mean, Speaking of the the

478
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:50,000
clothes, you mentioned the robe
fashion, oh fashion so good.

479
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,760
In this movie, The star aside
from these two was that dragon

480
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,200
robe.
Oh yeah, that was.

481
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Sex.
So good I'm not.

482
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Like a fan of dragon stuff but
that I could get into that I I.

483
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Love that yellow trench that she
was running around a lot.

484
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,440
Yeah, that was like her security
blanket.

485
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,760
Good point.
But.

486
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,800
And, and, and again, that's The
funny thing, right, is that so

487
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,960
at that, at one point, again,
her finger is the only thing

488
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,640
that has turned and yet when she
goes to pick up more of the

489
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,240
substance, she's like completely
covers herself up, right.

490
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,360
I mean, there's.
Shame too it that's yeah.

491
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:26,120
It's the shame.
So that's another interesting

492
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:29,000
thing, is that she's ashamed of
what she's doing, but yet she

493
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,040
can't stop herself from doing it
right.

494
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,640
Yeah.
Oh, man, Just to get back into

495
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,320
the way it's shot and
everything, it's just every like

496
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,720
you feel like you're with the
characters when they're going

497
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,960
through whatever they're going
through.

498
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,000
And one of the interesting
things that you had pointed out

499
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,040
while we were watching it is
that there's a few showers in

500
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,840
this.
They take showers and when

501
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840
they're in the shower, they're
completely trapped in it.

502
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,880
There is no door to get out of
it.

503
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,320
It's just all tile around them.
So it's like this box of shame,

504
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000
these, these shameful showers
that they can't escape from,

505
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,800
right?
You know, and there there is

506
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,120
this 1 scene just kind of
picking out moments that I think

507
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:11,440
are really subtle but really
effective is when she when

508
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,640
Elizabeth finally goes to the
studio.

509
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,000
I think it's when she goes to
the studio to be fired

510
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320
essentially.
And you know, the hallway, which

511
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,240
I really much appreciate the
carpet because it reminded me of

512
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,040
what's it called The Shining.
I was like, I like that, But the

513
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,440
whole hallway down had posters
of Elizabeth Sparkle.

514
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,320
And now that it's Sue, it's
towards the end, I believe, or

515
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,720
midway through when she goes
back there and there's only two

516
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,480
posters.
And those are the only posters

517
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,160
that Sue ever gets on this wall.
And it's really interesting to

518
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,480
think of like she was there for
a long time and she had all of

519
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,800
these things, just posters of
like all this work that she's

520
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,760
done.
And then Sue, even though she's

521
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,720
the new version, she only got 2.
And it's like, even though you

522
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,440
thought you weren't where you
were or people told you weren't,

523
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,880
look at all the work that you
did.

524
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Yeah.
Like that's that's the beauty of

525
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,120
getting older and looking back
at everything that you did.

526
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320
That's beautiful.
Not the newer version.

527
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,600
Yeah.
Anyway.

528
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,720
Well, and.
Honestly for Elizabeth I this is

529
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,480
like a flippin comment but just
like start a YouTube channel,

530
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,600
you know what I mean?
She has enough of a following,

531
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,080
you'll be fine.
A thing, though, in this

532
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,800
imaginary, you know that's.
True.

533
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,880
I don't know.
I don't know if you two OK so.

534
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,520
Let's get, let's talk about the
third act, right, Because I

535
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,520
think it does build up to this.
What did you think about the

536
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200
third act?
Because I feel like very much a

537
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,680
lot of the movie, even though it
was satirical for a lot of it,

538
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,360
it told you, right?
And I feel like the third act

539
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,000
just was like, if you didn't get
it, do you get it now?

540
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,840
You know?
Yeah, I.

541
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,680
The the lesson here is that
making a copy of a copy is not

542
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,760
going to go well, right?
But I for the third act, I think

543
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,040
that it needed that final punch,
like literally, right.

544
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,960
We have a big battle between the
two of them.

545
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,520
But then we meet Monstro, Eliza
Sue, which I think was just the

546
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,640
peace de resistance of the
substance.

547
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,400
I think that what would have
been a better ending than that,

548
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,560
right?
The full body horror, the full

549
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,040
modification, A complete mix of
the two of them that is still

550
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,720
going to curl that one strand of
hair that was so sad it burned.

551
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Off it burned off.
But she was like, she put her

552
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,200
shoved those earrings into the
to her head.

553
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,120
But I think that if they went
any smaller than that, it

554
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,520
wouldn't have been as effective.
I.

555
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Agree.
I, I feel like the movie is

556
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,240
long.
I didn't feel like it was long

557
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,520
as I was watching it because I
very much enjoyed it.

558
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,960
I do feel like, and the reason
why I was asking about the third

559
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,640
act is I could feel that being
like too much, like that's just

560
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,440
what are we doing now, right
For, for people.

561
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,040
I liked it.
I, I wanted more.

562
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,160
I'm like, how much more could we
possibly do?

563
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,360
And then her face fell off and
then she ended up going to her

564
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,680
star.
And then that was it for

565
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,160
Elizabeth Sparkle.
That was beautiful.

566
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880
I love that it just it book
ending of the entire thing.

567
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,800
That's opening shot, ending shot
great.

568
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,360
I loved it.
I loved how much blood was in

569
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,560
there.
I love that even the audience

570
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240
members, like that's a monster
and people just screaming and

571
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,560
not doing anything.
It's like, yeah, of course, like

572
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,880
this is what people would do.
Yeah.

573
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,760
And.
I and I think that right, this

574
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:33,040
audience wanted so much from her
and pushed her so much and then

575
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600
this is they kind of got what
they wanted, I think.

576
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840
Is his name Henry Dennis Quaid
character I.

577
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Think so, Something like that.
Anyway, doesn't matter.

578
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,840
I think he said at some point to
all those executives that came,

579
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,320
I think he said something of
like all the work I put into her

580
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,600
or this is like I made her.
He said something along those

581
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,560
lines.
And it's like, yeah, this is

582
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,000
what you made.
Yeah, Harvey I.

583
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,960
Just look, his name is Harvey.
But exactly.

584
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,720
And that one part.
So there is a part where another

585
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,840
trigger warning, pulling out
teeth.

586
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,640
So Sue is pulling out her teeth.
And so she's dealing with

587
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,200
falling apart.
And that's when him and all the

588
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,760
executives come through.
And he says, like, you know, you

589
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,640
always got a smile, so it
doesn't matter what you're going

590
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,760
through, as long as you smile,
it'll be fine.

591
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,160
And so we also see that on stage
of, like, she's trying to smile.

592
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,280
I'm here.
And then she ends up exploding.

593
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,360
Yeah.
I'm curious.

594
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Do you think that her face when
she finally went on to the star,

595
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,880
was it supposed to be like a
Medusa head type thing?

596
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,640
That's the feeling I got from
it.

597
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,600
I mean, it, it does mimic the
ketchup that fell on it in the

598
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,840
beginning, but it did very much
look Medusa Y to me.

599
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560
Yeah.
Yeah, well, what's the story of

600
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,440
Medusa?
We I should remember this from a

601
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,280
woman that was.
Scorned right of us.

602
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Doing Percy Jackson, I mean,
that's the.

603
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,120
Woman that I'm thinking of now,
I don't know.

604
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,680
I don't remember the actual
version.

605
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,120
Yeah, she did.
Not turn to stone though, or

606
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,200
turn anyone else to stone.
So, final thoughts final.

607
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Thoughts.
Is that this movie's all about

608
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,080
butts?
Yeah.

609
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,960
There was man, but there was
man.

610
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,400
But that was nice.
There's Demi Moore, but there's

611
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Margaret Qualley.
But and then there is Hunk but

612
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
as well, so we.
Didn't write his name down.

613
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,080
We got we.
Got all the.

614
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,880
We all got all the butts there.
Yeah.

615
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,960
But no, in reality, I think that
you can go into watching this

616
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400
movie with a number of lenses.
You can go into it for the

617
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,720
message.
You can go into it to see Demi

618
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Moore just be awesome.
You can go into it for the body

619
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,080
horror.
I think that you have to be

620
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,840
willing to go along on the
journey and I think that it set

621
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,680
out and delivered what it wanted
to.

622
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Yeah, I.
Agree it you you got what you

623
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,800
paid for for this movie.
I mean I think this is like kind

624
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,240
of career defining performance
for Demi Moore, even though she

625
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,800
hardly spoke.
It's all in that acting.

626
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,000
She's just phenomenal and that's
and so is Margaret Quali.

627
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,440
I think like there you you
needed somebody that could shine

628
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,240
just as bright as Demi and also
playoff of each other.

629
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,400
And I think that final showdown
literally between them, even

630
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,800
though Demi Moore is literally
you can't recognize her was

631
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,080
phenomenal.
Yeah, so good and just.

632
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,480
The sound design of the entire
movie, the music that they.

633
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,760
I wonder if it was like.
If we had subtitles on, if it

634
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,400
would be like squish it
definitely.

635
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,760
It better it better for sure.
But yeah, I think that the the

636
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,360
cast, it's small, the dialogue,
not a ton, but everything is

637
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,720
used exactly how it should be,
yeah.

638
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,600
Two thumbs up, two thumbs.
Up, I'm sure.

639
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480
I'm excited to see what this
director does next and I hope

640
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,320
this is a resurgence for Demi.
I feel like she hasn't been in

641
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,360
anything in a long time.
I think when?

642
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,680
You're Demi Moore, right?
You're like, you don't have to.

643
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,160
No.
She was part of the Brat Pack,

644
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,680
right?
But then she kind of came back

645
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960
again in the 90s.
Then she did Charlie's Angels in

646
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,840
the early 2000s.
Every once in awhile, she just

647
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,840
reappears, graces our screen.
We're happy to see it.

648
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,600
And then she's like, all right,
I'm gonna go chill for a little

649
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,480
bit, like, you know that.
Movie, movie.

650
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,960
I wanna do that.
Movie, movie.

651
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,480
Movie, movie.
That gross, gross one.

652
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,040
Yeah.
All right.

653
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,120
Well, let us know what you
thought of the substance.

654
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,960
Would you take this absence?
I hope not.

655
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,280
That seems like so much work.
I don't.

656
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,760
Know no also if you don't have a
tiled.

657
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Bathroom.
You're fucked.

658
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,719
You're fucked.
And also just like having

659
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:27,440
regular pedestrian people suture
themselves up and do spinal taps

660
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,600
seems very dangerous.
Very dangerous.

661
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,280
Not for me, don't.
Don't buy black market drugs,

662
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,679
kids.
That's the.

663
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:37,040
Moral of the story?
How much does the substance

664
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,199
cost?
That's the question.

665
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,560
Nothing.
I don't think they exchange any

666
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,840
money, right?
No. 503, I don't know.

667
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,440
All right, until next time.
Bye.
