The Substance vs Face/Off: Substance Misuse

We’re not entirely sure which of us is which this episode, as we stagger out of the new queasy feminist body-swap horror epic The Substance, and into John Woo’s classic body-swap action adventure Face/Off. These two have plenty in common, with actors chewing the scenery and flesh and blood everywhere. But which film is the most joyful? Which film has the most convincing medical procedures? Which film has perfect casting? And which film is 15% gyrating butts?

Plus a look at Coralie Fergeat’s previous films Revenge and Reality+, a trip to a puppet theatre, a surprise appearance by John Lennon, a colourful burst of Fellini, a new, delicious and educational sponsor that one of us can barely pronounce, and Christian Slater retrieves a nuclear bomb.
