Episode 224 - The Substance (Not A Bomb X Watch Skip Plus Crossover)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance!
Listener Request Month takes a little pause as the guys gather in the same room to record a special episode with Jose and Alex from Watch Skip Plus. To celebrate this momentous occasion, there was only one film that could do it justice: The Substance. Equal parts Cronenberg and Showgirls, The Substance stands apart from anything previously covered on the podcast—and with its current box office flop, it’s officially podcast-worthy. The hosts also dive into their favorite finds from Baltimore Comic-Con and share thoughts on the movies they've been watching lately. So, grab a seat, relax, and tune in for conversations about fame, body image, chewing sounds, and the ever-debated pronunciation of Demi Moore's name. Plus, everyone experiences a weirdly flavored drink for the plus!
The Substance is directed by Coralie Fargeat and stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.
Spoilers for The Substance between - (105:36 - 143:34)
Other films discussed include Ninja Terminator, Tammy and the T-Rex, Death Promise, Hard Boiled, This is Spinal Tap, and Cop Game.
