Bryan Dressel joins me in conversation to discuss The Substance (2024) The Substance is a 2024 satirical body horror monster film co-produced, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat. The film stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. An international co-production between the United Kingdom and France, its plot follows a fading celebrity (Moore) who decides to use a black market drug, a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself (Qualley), unknowingly giving her horrifying side effects.

Fargeat's debut feature film was Revenge (2017), a feminist revenge thriller about a young woman assaulted and left for dead. Inspired by revenge movies like Kill Bill, Rambo, and Mad Max, Fargeat was interested in exploring a character who would seem "weak" to others or the audience, but during the film would undergo a transformation into a "kind of superhero" that would set out to get her revenge.[13] The film had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival in the festival's Midnight Madness section,[14] and was selected to be screened at 23 additional film festivals.
