I too caught up with The Substance and echo your sentiments exactly, especially the fact that it outstayed its welcome by 20-30 minutes. I detested the fact, outside of the brilliant performances by Qualley and Moore, that the script was hokum and that there were no characters to speak of, just an endless series of grotesque caricatures. I also have caught MaXXXine this year and went ho hum. Just don't get me started on Alien: Romulus!

Great words on Boiling Point too, Andrew.
Brendan, I have not seen Alien Romulus and am in no hurry to. Might catch it on streaming. Maybe.
Don't go there, soldier.
Ha!
