S1E62 - The Substance, Monsters & Ellen: For Your Approval

Episode Notes

Our heroes return with another of their loosely themed shows. This time the theme is (arguably) monsters.

First up is Frankensteinesque body-horror fairy tale, The Substance. Will had to go see this one on his own as Lorraine was feeling squeamish. Not to worry, Will braved the relentless nudity for you all. See a return to form performance from Demi Moore and let us know if you agree with Will's take on The Substance as being a drug that was NOT ready for public consumption.

Next up, Lorraine and Will sit through 9 episodes of Ryan Murphy's new true crime series: Monsters, The Erik and Lyle Menedez story. It's a grim but slightly camp affair as we learn about 90's teen killers, Erik and Lyle and their ill-fated parents. Will Lorraine be able to get past the wigs she couldn't overcome in Murphy's similarly-toned OJ Simpson series from a few years ago?

Last up is Ellen Degeneres and her return to stand-up for a farewell lap before she bows out of the showbiz life she claims she has already been kicked out of. Can Ellen really be honest and deal with the allegations of unkindness that brought her talk show to an end? And, more importantly, can she be a funny comic again? Our pals, Lorraine and Will, will let you know.
