Donna Tha Dead Podcast

On this episode, continuing with the New Year, New Fear series to talk about Brian Yuzna's directorial debut, Society (1989). A wealthy teen who is filled with anxiety and paranoia, is given a look at the dark side of his society. This film has lots of black humor, loads of gore and is cited as being influential in body horror films. Plus you get to hear my love for special effects legend Screaming Mad George. Spoilerish free and we may even get to shunt afterwards.

On this episode, I'm kicking off my New Year, New Fear series of films to talk about Coralie Fargeat's The Substance (2024). This sci-fi body horror delivers a powerful commentary about fame, aging, self hatred and society itself placing a woman's value on her physical appearance. Spoiler free and full of stabilizer.
