Film | The Substance: More Than Skin Deep

Novo and Philip (philipchurch.com) discuss body-horror comedy film "The Substance," focusing on its subtext, symbolism, and social commentary, specifically the subject of society's unrealistic beauty standards, the drug addictions therein, and that around it all is the concept of time itself - our greatest equalizer - all culminating to a very special character called "Monstro ElisaSue."
