Episode Date: October 22, 2024

The ladies discuss Kamala's "opportunity agenda for black men" and review The Substance by popular demand.

Also, I'm just a little like I'm jaded with like Hollywood as metaphor, fame as metaphor for love. I'm tired of like. Yeah, this like feminist consensus that like people treat you bad if you're not hot and sexy and submissive. And I like am up for suspending disbelief and I don't need my films to all be like, hard, have hard realism in it,

but I'm just at a point in my life where I'm guess I like, I wanna see a movie about like a real person and not like- Yeah, same. Metaphors for like female experience. Yeah, but I think like the thinking is like, that's like the way that you have to like appease the masses. And of course, like ultimately, when you think about it, like the R reference for this particular film

was like a film that's already been made called Sunset Boulevard. I mean, yeah. I mean, it's people are calling it hag exploitation, you know, which is like a genre for sure. I guess we had like fat exploitation with like the whale and then fat and black exploitation with Precious. I mean, that was a while ago.

Yeah. Looking up. Yeah. If you look up, exploitation is Sunset Boulevard. Yes. Like Mommy Dearest. Yeah. It comes to mind.

Mommy Dearest, it comes to mind. Hereditaries on this list, I wouldn't call that exploitation. Bunch of bullshit, no one's heard of. Yeah, like some dusty Mommy Dearest. Oh, Baby Jane, whatever happened to Baby Jane. Of course, that was Betty Jane, whatever happened to Baby Jane, of course, the Betty Davis, Joan Crawford, where they're both like, look like monsters.

Wearing white face. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, yeah, it's tried and true. It's a rich genre to mine. This was not, this was serviceable, I'd say, as a genre film. You know, I overall kind of liked it. Like every time I go see a movie these days,

I basically feel like a Hamas prisoner in an IDF jail. So you're just happy for the rest of the fight. I'm like the dog in the burning building. basically feel like a Hamas prisoner in an IDF jail. Yeah. So you're just happy for the rest of the fight. The dog in the burning building, like, this is fine. You're like, okay. I have to see. You're like, it could be worse. The silver lining, the bright side. Yeah.

I'm like Mr. Brightside when it comes to movies. It's okay that she's bumming your cigarette and you're making out now. While I watch like a weird little cock and like a sims game. Taking your off your dress. That's fine. It's me, Mr. Brightside. It's okay.

I know. I should. Yeah, I need to adjust. I can't be growing into the movies. I'm about to see opening night. Mikey and Nicky. I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess I'm. An opt, I'm always, you know,

I'm optimistic. I'm like, I want to see a good movie. I really optimistic. I want to see a good movie. I really do. I want to see a movie that will really knock my socks off. I just want to see a movie that feels real. It affects me on some human level, which this basically failed to and then relied on gross of like grossing you out like squishing sounds and like body. Yeah the sound editing was not my favorite. And it's

like okay I get it the needle is going into the flesh. It's like okay I'm having like me at the end of the night when I'm like trying to suck the last alcohol out of a drink. Forcing me to have a visceral reaction, but it's not like I'd rather, I don't know, see someone like, yeah, I'd skip the substance watch like a porno that is disturbing.
