Fear and Horror Can Be Skin Deep: The Substance and Rouge
TW - discussions of sexual harassment, family trauma, body dysmorphia, self harm, eating disorders, descriptions of disturbing imagery
We've escape the young adult horror but we can't seem to escape something else...
In this episode, we reflect on the surreal and sinister worlds of The Substance directed by Coralie Fargeat and Rouge written by Mona Awad. Both works explore the dark side of beauty, obsession, and identity through two very different lenses. Join us as we compare the body horror of The Substance to the dreamlike dread of Rouge, unpack their themes, and discuss what they reveal about our culture’s fixation on perfection.
