THE SUBSTANCE & GRAFTED: Episode 178: Female Body Horror: A Little Bit Very Slowly Artwork

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

WoHos!

Mac had heard that THE SUBSTANCE was the movie to watch for a dissection (!) of body image and the patriarchy, but did he concur? Listen in to find out!

We paired this with a New Zealand film, GRAFTED, which has a similar vibe.
