Season 5, Episode 84: Interview with Paige Bourne (Elyse) from “Kombucha” (2025) – Not Your Mother’s Kool-Aid!

A movie mixed with dark humor, body horror, and social commentary, the film hysterically skewers soul-sucking jobs, corporate nonsense, and the fixation with wellness products, making it significant for those in the grind. It’s fun, it’s trippy, it’s brilliant, and in essence it’s a cult-worthy indie movie that deserves a lot of praise. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Paige Bourne who plays Luke’s apprehensive girlfriend in this twisted, psychological mind spank of a movie. With the David Cronenberg style body horror, you will not want to miss this one.Paige and I talked about her role in the film, the limits that were pushed on their characters, how each special effect sequence was completed, and much more. With intense performances by the actors in this film, I can tell that each and every person was committed to delivering their roles. So much so that I was (and still am) convinced that the Kombucha drink is not good for anyone. I could be wrong, but I still have my doubts.
