    The Substance (2024) with Kt from MovieRuntime and Movie Night Extravaganza

    Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime and Movie Night Extravaganza is back on the Whatcha Watchin pod to chat with Alexis about The Substance, the new body horror cult classic from director Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. How can a movie so viscerally disgusting also be beautiful, meaningful, and darkly hilarious? What does this movie say about the male gaze, commercialism, and how women tend to be valued based on desirability? How did they achieve that amazing sound design?  We discuss the larger themes of The Substance, life as aging millennials, the decline of media literacy…and we confuse Randy and Dennis Quaid a bunch of times.

    The Movie Rating System with Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime

    Has the G-rated film gone extinct? Is PG-13 still the most profitable film rating? When is being rated R a badge of honor? In this episode, Alexis is joined by Kt Baldassaro from MovieRuntime to discuss the history of the MPA movie rating system, the hoops filmmakers need to go through to avoid an NC-17 rating, when movie classification borders on censorship, and whether or not the film rating system still matters in the streaming age.
