Episode 66: The Substance

On this episode of Remainders we watch the new horror classic The
Substance. Fresh off Oscar attention and walking away with the
award for Best Makeup of 2024, we celebrate this gonzo body
horror movie that broke into the mainstream. Elizabeth Sparkle is
an aging star played by the legendary Demi Moore. When she is
fired from her fitness show for her age, she turns to the green
stuff in an attempt to generate a younger version of herself.
Results may vary, but Cronenberg would be proud.


Other topics include a breakdown and vibe of the Oscars, Conan
O’Brien being the best host possible, in memoriam of Gene Hackman
and David Lynch, other body horror classics, and Sean Baker’s
career and his 2021 movie Red Rocket as a hidden gem.
