We start spooky season by discussing Brian Yuzna's 1989 body-horror satire SOCIETY. We use this film (where a man's face emerges from his own butthole) to have a serious discussion about Reaganomics and how America subsidizes the rich at the expense of the poor. Discussion also includes:
- Our other recent watches: The Substance, Rebel Ridge, Blink Twice, and Oddity;
- Feeling collective despair over the recent climate disasters in Florida;
- Hal's trip to the High Museum in Atlanta;
- The Batman and Robin of hating poor people: Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman; and
- Some of our other favorite body horror films and gags.
