Ghouls Next Door

The Outside: Horrors of the Beauty Industry


Listen Later

As part of our New Year, New Me series Ghouls are talking about the intense pressures of society and the beauty industry. Episode 4 of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, The Outside, is a bizarre film about how completely undone we can become while pursuing a more perfect outside. Gabe discusses the film's messaging, peculiar approach, and the webcomic it was inspired by. Kat explores the many contributing factors to our problematic beauty industry and why it's incredibly harmful to femme bodies. They also discuss some of the neurodivergent coding of the main character in The Outside.
