Episode 01: The Substance (2024)

from Watch WHAT now? Hosted by Eric and Melissa

"What has been used on one side, is lost on the other side. There's no going back." In the debut episode, Eric and Melissa tackle 2024's The Substance. A horror movie that seemingly came out of nowhere and took award shows by storm. Starring Demi Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle, an actress who has just turned 50 and is immediately considered too old for her television show. After using a black market drug known only as The Substance, a younger version of "herself" named Sue is "born" and starts to live the good life that Elisabeth still craves. The major catch is that after a week, things have to go back the way they were and Sue eventually comes to dislike that. Social commentary on aging mixed with a lot of body horror and a major WTF finale, The Substance is a huge way to start the podcast. Make sure to buckle up because it's going to be quite the ride.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
