Dennis Quaid's Repulsive Shrimp Moment
While those who are easily grossed out by some blood and guts, might need to be extra prepared when watching this show! As if the show needed to up the ante!
In The Substance you have an extra cringe-worthy scene involving Dennis Quaid and a super disturbing moment that you probably can't look away from! You will find the scene involving a man in a powerful role and the moment where this character gives his most delicious yet, super gross take on shrimp!
One can only hope there are no shrimp in your immediate area if you decide to watch this.
It looks like Harvey is having a very powerful and uncaring role in the movie and not even a deformed and super scary body will stop him from consuming this dish.
Harvey and his shrimp eating was meant to add an extra dose of just how detestable his personality really is and how it ties in to the theme that beauty standards are super messed up! While people are struggling. The man in power can get his food.
It really does speak volumes to how the movie plays out! While women, as "The Substance" will reveal, have the unfortunate task of maintaining standards of appearance! There are other aspects that come into play, such as the constant terror that happens when these individuals are in trouble.
That's just what the series gives viewers. While "The Substance" isn't out now. Those looking for something fresh, powerful, intense and maybe even slightly unsettling. It might be worth checking out this upcoming film!
