The Problematic Gaze
Direct from PG Towers, join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Each week we focus on a different piece of pop culture, and put it into context by looking at the news events and cultural landscape of the year it was released.
The Problematic Gaze
'The Substance'. Horror film from 2024. Demi Moore, Oscar Buzz and Ageing in the World of Entertainment.
Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear. Fresh from awards season, we cast our Gaze on the body horror film 'The Substance'. Featuring an Oscar nominated turn from Demi Moore, this film has a lot to say about Hollywood and the pressure to stay young and relevant. If you had the chance to do it all again, would you? And what price would you be prepared to pay?
