    The Substance felt like a South Park episode with the skin of a body horror movie. I'm kinda surprised it's not marketted as a dark comedy.

      The reason it doesn't quite work is because it's weirdly cartoonish and yet not cartoonish enough in order for it to be dark comedy. It's like there's always this self serious idea sprinkled over everything which prevents it from entering the fully comedic zone. If it was kind of poking fun at how obvious and silly the metaphors were, then it would be more successful.

    I love how timeless the Substance is, like it feels like it exists in both 2024 and in the 70s. Similar to how something like Bottoms feels like it takes place in the 50s but has the dialogue of 2023 while being a 2000s type of film

    Saw The Substance in a late night viewing, in a completely empty theater, absolutely amazing experience. Amazingly weird and incredible movie. Especially more creepy at points because of being in a cold empty theater. I thought a little bit gratuitous with the nudity, but I will say, Sarah Qualley is a drop dead gorgeous woman. And that scene when she opens the door to talk to the neighbor guy, I literally said “oh my god” a couple times out loud during that scene because she’s that pretty. But I do wanna say, while the overlying theme everyone talks about is about infatuation with youth in Hollywood and how it’s messed up, the real theme I felt, is about the cycle of addiction and self hatred. How addiction seems from an outside perspective compared to the first person perspective of an addict. And how it can overtake your life more and more over time, and ruin your life.

The title says something so thunderously obvious that you think to yourself that surely the answer can't be so simple, and then you click, then you find the answer is that obvious, and nothing matters anymore because they have your click. I saw an article for 'Scarface ending, explained' once and nearly slammed my head through my desk.

    Regarding that "Woke that detracts from viewing experience" question, you lads mention the most common example of filmmakers not being sincere with the diversity. But one that I see here or there is when a filmmaker firmly believes in what they're getting across, but botches it in the final product.
    Black Christmas 2019 would be one of them, but others like Charlie's Angels, Bros, and Don't Worry Darling are some that spring to mind for me.
    Bros because it was a case of Billy Eichner trying to be a leading Rom-Com man, even though he lacks the likability or humbleness to pull it off (Not to mention how he blames straight people for the film bombing even though there were other factors at play). Don't Worry Darling because it had no clue on how to handle its feminist commentary (Trying to be a satire on Jordan Peterson using an "allegory of the cave" format, even though the story is riddled with plot holes and taking bits and pieces from superior works of art).
    There's just a level of narcissism and hubris when you see these projects come up, with those involved thinking that because they're catering to a certain identity that they've got in the bag, when there's a lot more that has to be done to win the crowd over. Something like the Barbie film knew that alienating the audience wasn't the right move, as it could sour the release (Like what happened with Ghostbuster 2016).

After watching it for myself, man does this movie make the terrifier movies look like they were made by children.

    "If Fallout can be a good show, this could have been good." See I don't know if I agree there. Fallout was good off the back of a cannon that actually like... Has some good writing. I mean not lately, but you know what I mean.
    There's a lot of viddy games with "good stories" from the late 2000s and early 2010s that kind of get away with having horrible stories and characters, but gamers don't care because it's a video game. Uncharted, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Fallout 3... Like, these are the kinds of scripts that would get you laughed out of the writers room for a SciFi channel original movie. But the game's industry just has lower standards for that sort of thing.
    A movie adaptation of Borderlands is a baffling idea, because it's kind of the worst of all worlds. Even when people like the characters, it's more of a memetic kind of appreciation. Like, oh, the character said a quip in the background while I was shooting raiders, haha fun-e. It's like, early 2000s webcomic humor. So trying to adapt that storytelling style into a medium that demands such a concretely linear narrative? A narrative that demands that the quips are now the POINT OF THE STORY?? That seems nigh impossible. It'd be like casting Timotheé Chalamet and Tom Holland to play Gabe and Tycho in a live action Penny Arcade movie.
    I mean this is the game that has a double rainbow easter egg. I don't know what they were expecting.

    57:40 Adum, I don't think calling out Eli Roth on his age is helpful. People's age doesn't define them, and insulting them over that really isn't fair cuz it's not like anyone can do anything to change their age.
    I think the same message could be achieved if you just say Eli Roth seems very out of touch and unfunny. Adding on this "and he's also old which makes him lesser" seems unnecessary.

    I do love yall but when you talk about politics I have to bounce. It's guy who sounds like he has no political opinions on anything talking to a blatant lefty. I love both of you, I don't mean that in any way as an insult, you do you, but it doesn't spawn the most productive discussion. I do appreciate you criticizing the conservative films you mentioned based on actual merit, or lack thereof, however. Thank you for not just smacking them down as evil rightoid bigotry.

    You guys are crazy for spoiling the best film immediately almost at the beginning without much warning. Spoil the bad movies not the good one.
