Paid in Puke S10E7: The Substance

On today’s episode of Paid in Puke, we’re mainlining Coralie Fargeat‘s 2024 body horror comedy, The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Special guest Bettina McKelvey joins the Pukettes to share our experiences with watching the unique and memorable piece of cinema.

Trigger Warning: Body horror discussion and upsetting sound design. 

On Keggers with Kids, Baxter’s 15-year-old gives their perspective from the younger side of things. Guess what scene everybody, both young and old, related to HARD.

We also fantasize about a beauty-neutral world and an unproblematic Oscars. And on the Lunchtime Poll, we cast our respective Sues.
