Forward Flash 044: Bad junk. Bad brick. | Brick (2005) [Patreon Preview]

This is one of those films that hits you like a ton of 'bricks' (ha). When I first saw the trailer on a "Focus Features" DVD I knew this was one that I had to see. In Rian Johnson's directorial debut, this modern film noir weaves quite a knot that slowly unties throughout the course of the story.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries every scene which reminded me of his other indie films in the early 00s that I loved so much. I get into why this story and visual style reminds me of Donnie Darko, how Focus Features was equivalent to A24 back in the day, the minimal normie yet important fashion, and try to work out the illogical parts of what the hell was actually going on.

"Throw one at me if you want, hash head. I've got all five senses and I slept last night, that puts me six up on the lot of you."

Also touching on the recent news of the Kandi/Todd divorce settlement, thoughts on Summer House (so far), and some bits on the Potomac ladies.

Back Track 022: It's us they don't understand. | Daisies (1966) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

I'm so glad that a film still from Tumblr over 10 years ago brought me to this film. What sprouted as a possible fashion editorial, ended up being one of the most original and thought provoking films I've seen in quite a while.

Daisies from 1966 is a wild ride of surrealism, freedom, and feminism by Vera Chytilová. I can see how so many film makers are inspired by this experimental take on philosophy and existence through pleasure and all encompassing rebellion.

I talk about why I have so many words but not enough about how brilliant this all was, the incredible fashion and color theory, and film techniques I was drooling over.

A 'Love During Lockup' Bonanza w/ Kelli Williams (@laguna_biotch & @beyondtheblindspod)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Kelli Williams, Lauren M Brown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

I was over the moon when I discovered another person that watched the Love After Lockup series/franchise. I've been a fan of Kelli Williams' and had a chat w/ her ages ago here on the pod but couldn't wait to have her back to talk one of the shows I love so much.

We get into this current season of 'Love During Lockup' and why this format isn't the strongest and we basically bounce around and talk memorable and unhinged moments throughout the seemingly thousands of episodes of this show.

You know, don't you. | Dawson's Creek S3E20 The Longest Day w/ Stephen of Creek Talk Podcast

info@fashiongrunge.com (Stephen Gavis, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

I had originally planned to do an episode talking about season 3 of DC and one of the best episodes that lead us into the Pacey/Joey era anyway. However since James Van Der Been recently passed away I went back to the pilot of the show again. I had Stephen come on to talk about how millennials owe podcasting to Dawson Leery, his other roles, and hear set stories from when Stephen did extra work.

Now we also talk about 'The Longest Day' as a concept and the nuclear drama that pops off three different times throughout this episode.

Yes, basically all of the things I thought/said in the last episode, disregard. As always things change daily if not hourly on this show and Ashley is back to break down more of this mess happening.

We get into Carrington being the 'himbo' of the house, how Belle has lost us, Whit's weird behavior, and why they need banish the Heart Rate Challenge for good.

I've been a bad Islander and fell super behind with doing these recaps.Well that's sort of half true, I've been watching and keeping up but haven't been reviewing. Needless to say there have been so many dustups and hurricanes blown through as of now but I'm recapping eps 19-23.

I'm talking the weirdness of the US transition into the Villa, Curtis' weird behavior, and how so many people are just piping up creating drama cyclones and raised blood pressures.

It's time for another run around with our favorite Real Housewives. Callum returns to talk the many highs and lows of the girls we love to watch. This episode we're talking SLC, Potomac, and Bev Hills (and the lack of pizzaz). We sprinkle in a few current hot topics to keep things current and just have a good ol ki.

Love Island: All Stars: I don't conform to your tears. | S3 Eps 11-18 w/ Ashley of Black Girl Film Club

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Ashley Ayer) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 14:04:33 +0000

Yeah, you saw that right. I successfully bullied Ashley into picking up with the new Love Island All Stars series. And yes we did a 2.5hr episode on it. Basically we're getting into the meat of the second week at the villa. We talk about how Scott is a chaos demon but never wrong, the vanilla triangle between Samie, Lucinda, and Cieran, and why we love Hurricane Belle. Proving yet again that the series 5 girls remain elite in Love Island history.

212: Toe pick! | The Cutting Edge (1992)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 1 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

It's almost time for the Winter Olympics and what better way than to use it as a theme for the next 90s movie episode. Since Charles is an Olympic expert you're in for a real treat with this one. While the movie itself is kinda of part Lifetime movie part Melrose Place episode, it really doesn't stray too far from the actual dynamics in pairs skating.

We get into skating fashion, hilarious quotes, and count the montages throughout.

off topic rants: Olympic facts, Surya Bonaly, a spicy '92 Olympics story, Heated Rivalry, and The Real World: Boston

📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT!

It's time (yet again) for me to put all my Love Island knowledge to use and the start of a new season of All Stars. At first I thought it was lame but then I thought this is really the Super Bowl for the fans. Since we know the lore of the past Islanders, it only can get messier.

I'm getting into Scott being this seasons 'bone carrier', the boys being whack, and Whitney (my girl) yet again being bigger than the program.

211: Well that was the shortest car chase ever. | The Daytrippers (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

It's the first *new episode of 2026. Yes, I know we're well past the New Year salutations but alas. This was the perfect type of film to start off the year and a new mood. The Daytrippers have been on my list for a while and it really scratched that itch when it comes to a quirky 90s comedy.

I talk about the realistic and aspirational fashion of Parker posey, the many quotes and hijinks that ensue on this caper of madness, and the many roadblocks during the behind the scenes of this film.

When I was thinking about archiving my mag collection on TikTok I found other collectors as I got going. One of the first creators I remember salivating over was 90s Mags and More. I look forward to each new video because it really is like looking through a time capsule.

For this interview episode I got to chat with Lauren about her collection, her history with Seventeen Magazine, current titles, and go deep on teenage nostalgia.

My So Called Life Episode 015: Do we have to keep talking about religion? It's Christmas! | So Called Angels (1994) [Patreon Unlocked] 🔓

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

*premiered on Patreon December 3, 2021

We're talking one of the most emotional television episodes we've ever seen. Just saying 'The Christmas episode' out loud makes me tear up.

We learn that Rickie has been kicked out of his home has no place to go and Angela wants to help. There are so many layers as to why and how he doesn't want to tell his closest friends exactly what is happening. To our surprise Jordan is there when Rickie needs him.

We have an amazing guest star in musician Juliana Hatfield and I tell the story of her Kurt Cobain connection.

Angela's parents mean well as they are trying to best handle the situation. Brian's family left for 10 days and of course he wanted to stay home alone. And Sharon and Rayanne become my new favorite comedy duo to lighten a very heavy episode.

Our story only gets darker from here and it's riveting and important television.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

I've reached this level in life where I haven't seen (in its totality) The Bodyguard. This was something I knew I wanted to do for a long time. Naturally I brought Charles on to talk this pure classic. I was swept up in the magic of Whitney Houston the entire time. We get into how we didn't hate Kevin Costner in this, the fashion, and our favorite song from the soundtrack.

You, Me, and 5 Bucks 022: A chat w/ photographer Valerie Phillips

info@fashiongrunge.com (Valerie Phillips, Lauren M Brown) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This is quite a surreal moment for me. I've been inspired by Valerie Phillips' work since I picked up a NYLON magazine in the early 00s. It was a dream to be able to talk with her about shooting during the peak of fashion magazine culture. We get into her start on music video sets, how she worked with some of the best during the start of NYLON, and how she self published her own work which led to international publisher and her latest book, Candy Cat Head (out soon).

209: Oh, this is the life, ain't it? | Secrets & Lies (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

This was an interesting film to have as a first watch. Charles selected this one and it was one of the most tension filled but intoxicating films I've ever seen. The performances are incredible throughout and we have a definite 'Oscar rage' segment because of it.

off-topic rants include: my first time watching 'Cool Hand Luke' and how I've never seen E.T.

Forward Flash 043: My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you! | Milk (2008) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 08:00:00 +0000

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

This film is one that has always stuck with me. From the first time I saw it in the cinema, to the many years I owned it on DVD when I lived on the West Coast. It has been about 10 years since I've seen it and Mikey wanted to talk about it on the pod for June.

Both of us were a crying mess for many reasons but this tragic and emotional story is history and everyone should watch it. While the story ends in a brutal assassination, there is much to be learned here about community and the importance of unity despite differences.

Harvey Milk was an incredible leader and helped so many people and still does by having his mark on society. Being the first openly gay person to be elected to an official office and inspiration to many helped lay the groundwork in politics and the diversity we have today.

Directed by Gus Van Sant, and incredibly acted by Sean Penn (who won an Oscar for his role) this whole community was brought to life on film and even endorsed and collaborated with Harvey's own friends and colleagues.

We get into the history of getting this film made, how Sean Penn got into character, the personal connection of the wardrobe, and other facts from how the story played out in 1978.

Off-topic rants: We are Here tv series, The Boys, and (again) why we need a 'Hottie' President

This time I've got Ashley and Britney of Black Girl Film Club to get more into this sub genre that we love.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

For years I was always freaked out when I saw the cover for the film, Leprechaun. I had it in my head that it was some weird twisted horrific tale and I had been saving it for the pod for this very moment. Needless to say I was so wrong and this movie was hilarious and I can't wait to see more of the series.

Mikey is along on this episode as we laugh at the many quotes, hilarious transportation modes, and get into why Jennifer Aniston would like to pretend this film doesn't exist.

Back Track 021: Is four years a long time? | Paris, Texas (1984) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

I'm back! Yes, it's been a while and there is no more perfect film to return back to my routine than Paris, Texas from 1984.

This is my first ever watch and it would be an understatement to say that it's been a long time since cinema has moved me the way this did. I always have seen stills and thought it was from a fashion shoot or a photo spread and to see these images in motion. It had me thinking of my own relationship with photography and how I adore the cinematography of Robby Müller.

I get into how I was in the perfect place to absorb this , the overwhelming nature of the scope of the story, a strong third act, and fashion visuals that will stay with me for a while.

*recorded August 2024

❄️ Going the distance w/ Callum on RHOSLC and our history w/ Real Housewives!

info@fashiongrunge.com (Callum Fedele, Lauren M Brown) — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Just a few weeks ago I connected with an old friend from back in my NY days. We quickly got on to how much we love The Real Housewives. Listen to me and my friend Callum, a creative arts therapist talk about the many dynamics of women from multiple cities in the franchise. It was great to get his perspective and we mainly talk about what we think is one of the current standouts, Salt Lake City.

We give our rundown and opinion on the ladies, talk why RHONY means so much to us to this day, and how the show has evolved over the years for better or worse.

Enjoy!

205: You ooze, you lose. | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1995)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

If you can believe it I've gone my whole life without seeing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. This is yet another one to check off on the list of nostalgia watches. I remember watching the tv series in the first season but boy did this world really expand! Me and Mikey are back to talk the ultimate camp movie about mid 30s teens of Angel Grove that somehow everyone knows they are superheroes? We talk about the film being saved by a campy villain, the amazing fashion coordination, and our childhood memories of the tv series.

off-topic rants include: commercials on streaming being a scam, Christopher Walken as Ivan Ooze?

204: Don't go into the long grass! | The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Well, it was high time we take a bite out of the second Jurassic Park movie of the 90s. Widely known as a far inferior sequel, (and they're right) but it was directed by Spielberg so how bad could it be? Me and Charles take the opportunity to tell you exactly how bad and just all the many reasons this was doomed from the start.

There is no better co-host than Charles to talk about the films that electrified him as a youth seeing them multiple times in the theater. We talk the MANY differences from the novel to the screen, just how weird the whole daughter storyline was, and just why it fell apart as soon as they got off that island.

This has to be one of the most visually stunning films I have seen in the past six months. I saw it in the cinema for New Years Day and it basically set the tone for my relationship with film in 2024.

Me and Mikey are here to talk about how we loved this film and how we haven't seen anything like it. Emma Stone is just a standout and we talk about the evolution of her character and how the incredible costume design by Holly Waddington adds an entirely new level. We get into sooo much 'behind the scenes', the inventive and visceral music score, and we discuss our thoughts on the discourse around the film during the time of its release.

off-topic rants include: MCU talk, Steve Buscemi, and why costume designers should dress me for hypothetical red carpet appearances

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

During this episode I discovered a new genre: 'domestic friendship bi- thriller'. This is literally one of my favorite genres. In a film starring Rob Lowe giving Lifetime movie villain and (my baby) James Spader acting for his life it's bound to have some heat. Me and Charles talk about how they tried to make corporate language seductive, the amazing interiors of 80s apartments, and more talk of homoerotic thrillers.

Runnin' wild and talking Some Like it Hot for the latest 'Back track' episode! I'm so excited to cover this one because I got a major case of the feels when watching this for the pod.

If you are looking for an all around stellar film with an incredible cast, laughs a plenty, brilliant story, and an ethereal Marilyn Monroe then look no further. I get into the behind the scenes tidbits I discovered including the troubles on set, how the men were cast as Daphne and Josephine, and how it wasn't well received (inconceivable) during the first screening.

off-topic rants include: 80s movies, Frank Sinatra, and the Hays Code in films

If you're at all still tapped into the Love Island world then you know these times are when things really amp up. After the Islanders leave the villa there are interviews, shade thrown back and forth, and all around chaos. Some may even say this is when the show actually starts. Now Ashley of Black Girl Film Club is back on the show as someone who is just as chronically online as me to talk about what's ALLEGEDLY* been going on since the finale.

We talk through recent news of the JaNa and Kenny breakup, Nicolandria updates, 404 (Cierra) being weird, and what things production can do next year to address the litany of issues that seem to be springing up around this show lately.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Since I'm wrapping up Love Island content we're getting back to our roots and heading back into the world of 90s forgotten cinema and talking Fair Game starring Billy Baldwin and Cindy Crawford.

Charles is along for this ride and boy what a weird story but basically it's explosions and staring at two beautiful people for 90 minutes.

📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT!

At this point in the show I'm drained. However, not too drained to talk about what's going on up in this villa. We really should rename this 'Hostility Island'.

I get into the disappointing Heart Rate challenge, the messiest challenge I've ever seen, and basically how I've never been thrown so upside down from all these relationship dynamics.

It's been years and even before the podcast itself that Charles has been mentioning this film. Well, it's high time we review it then! Get ready for a heavy domestic drama in 'In the Bedroom' from 2001.

Now, there is an iconic 6 minute scene that basically holds the whole film together which we talk about at LENGTH. We are also getting down to the insane story, Nick Stahl and Marisa Tomei being great supporting cast, and some unexpected hilarity.

off- topic rants include: Oscars rage minute, directors doing multiple takes, and why 'bitter' is the strongest insult

📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT!

Woosh! It's the end of week three and I'm talking the last two episodes (15,16). We finally get some closure(?) to the Huda and Jeremiah chapter, and we have two new bombshells that are causing a bit of chaos (as they should). I'm talking the whole Amaya and Austin situation, Nic being bilingual all of a sudden, and why Andreina just might be the answer we need to turn this place upside down in the best way.

Also, petition for Megan Thee Stallion to be a permanent fixture in the villa somehow.

New recaps up every Saturday! 🏝️

Introductions at 3:40 lol *we just start right in talking the show

Yes, we're only a few days into week 3 of the villa and it was getting so crazy that I had to get someone to chat with about all this. So I got Ashley here from Black Girl Film Club Podcast to talk all about her history with the show and then we jump straight in to the current status of the Love Island USA villa.

We talk Sunday's episode (ep 12) throughTuesdays (ep 14) and believe me, we had A LOT to say! We get straight into the dynamics of Huda & Jeremiah now and how it's ruining the vibe of the house, how we want better for Chelley and Olandria, and the many crash outs over the past three days and future storyline predictions!

Yes, that's right it's Love Island USA Season baby! Since I had so much fun last year covering my favorite summer trash tv show I figured I'd be back to start from the beginning this time. This is only the first week so we're expecting escalating problems on the horizon. I get into the first impressions of the OGs, why I got my detective eye on Jeremiah and Nic, and how Huda needs to cool it.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 25 May 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Charles is back on the pod! And what better way then to talk about one of the most revolutionary films of the 90s, Jury Duty starring Pauly Shore. It's been a while since our Son in Law episode so we talk again about how Pauly Shore is a goddamn national treasure. We get into the many layers of this film and potentially why it has a coveted 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I realize that I find the fashion in this film amazing but the quotes are legendary.

Off-topic rants: our Robert DeNiro in 'Cape Fear' obsession, other famous court trials, The Amazing Race as a relationship test

What a WILD ride. This was Charles' pick for the 'Back Track' series this month. It had been a while since we explored the classics and this certainly is nothing short of a perfect film. There are so many moments that will remain in my head forever and I've never seen acting like this in my life.

This being my first Liz Taylor and Richard Burton film, I was beyond transfixed. With just a four person cast, there are so many ebbs and flows and the story structure and verbage throughout was was just insane in the best way,

Off-Topic rants include: other casting possibilities, Kirsten Dunst, the Simpsons, and dramatic readings throughout

You, Me, and 5 Bucks 021: a chat on the erotic thriller genre w/ @90svalley

info@fashiongrunge.com (90svalley, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

I'm so very excited to talk to the person behind one of my fav accounts on instagram, @90svalley. Most of the time I feel like what they post is right on my wavelength at the time. We both love the erotic thriller movies of the 80s and 90s. Of course we had to get straight into our faves and what we think of where the genre is now and what it needs to do going forward. The topics of Sam Levinson, Gen Z and Millennials, and the directors that we love among tons of other things!

Enjoy!

199: You didn't pick me up. We bumped into each other. | Dream Lover (1993)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Ahh, the 90s. Such a perfect time for the erotic thriller genre. It only felt right to pay homage to one of the greats, James Spader. I stumbled across this one from deep in the vault and I'm glad to experience Dream Lover from 1993.

I get into the mystery of why this wasn't a box office hit, the minimalist fashion, and bitch about why they just can't make 'em like this anymore.

Well what can we say about Havoc? There is so much to say and yet so little at the same time. It really is quite an accomplishment in film. While most of the actors would like to pretend that this never happened, but guess what "the North remembers".

I roped Charles into this review as we explore the real underbelly of the y2k cringe genre. We constantly ask, "Oh, (actors name) what are you doing here?" From the offensive accents and affects, the dreadful fashion, and the horrifying reality that people like this exist.

Off-topic rants include: Harry Potter, Jersey Shore, Hitchcock films, just why this was green-lit in the first place

198: Pussywillows, Dottie! | Serial Mom (1994)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

I’m so glad that we’re talking another John Waters film on the podcast. Within ten minutes of watching I was screaming and rolling on the floor laughing.

We talk the incredible casting, the magic of Waters as an auteur, and our many favorite scenes and quotes.

197: Whoa! You're standing in evidence! | Clay Pigeons (1998)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

I've decided to call these movies, "one of those". It represents films you don't hear too much about but have a stacked cast that you recognize and had no idea existed. For me this represents Clay Pigeons. It's been a long time coming for me to review this un even film starring 90s indie snark queen, Janeane Garofalo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Vince Vaughn.

On this episode I get into my first experience buying a DVD player, bargain bin films, identifying 90s brunette indie actresses, and how I will basically watch Joaquin in anything.

Off-topic rants include: Playstation, MTV, and Coen Brothers films

In the bleak mid winter... | Peaky Blinders Episode 1 (2013) [Patreon Preview]

Here we go...An introduction to the notorious clan known as the Peaky Blinders. While all over the world we are celebrating the work of Cillian Murphy, it only felt right to dive into one of his most legendary roles as Tommy Shelby.

I decided to recap and introduce the first episode for those who may have not seen it (what are you doing, go watch it immediately). Set in 1919 Birmingham, England we start after WWI to see what the Shelby family has been up to and how they continue their reign in Small Heath.

I get into this rich story that has historical origins, the subtlety of the action, and the character development that will inevitably stand the test of time.

"by order of the Peaky Blinders..."

Back Track 018: Well, there it is. | Amadeus (1984) Director's Cut [Patreon Preview]

To say that I'm beyond thrilled to talk about Amadeus would be an understatement. Like I have mentioned before, I can't believe it has taken this long to review this literal perfect film. The obsessive nature between the two men we compare to more contemporary film dynamics (*cough Saltburn). We are talking the Director's Cut of this film since the extra 20 minutes are just a gift to us as cinefiles. I honestly don't think there is anything bad to say about this film and we talk about how a 'Best Picture' winner hasn't really come close since.

Me and Charles had such a great time finding out all the behind the scenes, the history of the real men, and get into how we love to watch films about rivalries.

Off-topic rants include: Zoobilee Zoo, who was Kurt Cobain's 'Salieri'?, the Family Guy spoof, and The Cure movie from 1995

As you may know I love the fashion of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and one of my favorite accounts to follow is The Boy About Town.

So I had to to get in touch with Frankie, who is behind the account to find out more. We talk our love for magazines, growing up on music videos, 90s music, and of course the elusive relatability of the Olsen twins.

I miss the dark comedy films of the 90s and 00s. Granted yes culture and humor have shifted as they do when time passes, but man there are some hidden film gems to uncover. That leads me to Saved!, probably one of the funniest and darkest comedies with just an incredible all-star cast.

Me and Mikey talk about how the script is just filled with incredible one-liners and hilarious sequences. There is nothing more perfect than an out of control evangelical Mandy Moore on this never ending crusade to save everyone and a delightfully devious Macaulay Culkin. We get into other films in this genre we love, read hilarious Letterboxd reviews, and how we love a fashion makeover montage no matter what.

Off-topic rants: Mikey's attempted conversion story, Zack Snyder and Suckerpunch, Havoc, and neon clear landline phones, and why I need to start the show Weeds

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In all my years I have never seen the 90s Ninja Turtle movies. From what I have heard, it's the greatest and is more than you would think. I'm here to report that I loved it and it's an instant 'himbo' classic. Me and Mikey talk his history with this film in his childhood, why I love Michelangelo, and wonder why they didn't make April more badass like in the cartoon series.

Office films. Something I wanted to explore as a theme so this is just the start. The 80s was really all about the exploration of the workplace. Oddly enough this is a rom-com that actually won Oscars. This is my first time watch and Charles' pick!

Can we take several minutes to talk about these 80s office fashions too?! We get into the behind the scenes drama, the rigamarole behind casting, and why we loved the real estate!

The fact that I didn't know about this film until about a month ago is crazy and embarrassing! This formula is like heaven. Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, directed and written by Amy Heckerling with costumes by Mona May! Sign me all the way up! Vampire roommates? Falling in love hijinks and camp vampire gore?!

Yes, Mikey told me about this as he was watching for the first time and immediately wanted to do a podcast on it. I'm so glad he did because this is just what I was looking for. This really proves the power of just comedic writing and an incredible cast. We get into our favorite looks, how Sigourney Weaver is EVERYTHING, and other camp films in the vampire horror comedy genre.

Off-topic rants include: Riverdale, why Amy Heckerling needs to make a tv series, and who we would want to be in the world of fictional vamp characters

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:00:00 +0000

I've been wanting to check this one off the list for a while. With Larry Clark being one of my favorite directors, this was an early one in his filmography. Now, this was a weird one for me. There were certain aspects that I was expecting that didn't really make sense for me. In this episode I worked out the bias I was going into the film with, and explain the concept of a 'that guy' in movies and tv.

Off-topic rants include: Twin Peaks and David Lynch, my very lonnggg current watch queue, The Big Hit, and movies of 1998

I just saw this for the first time about two weeks ago in the theater (so 80s) thanks to Charles. He told me we just had to cover this for the pod and I'm so glad he did. If I didn't already have a crush on Bruce from 'The Fifth Element' , I now am obsessed with John McLean.

This film was an 80s corporate office porn dream along with the amazing fashion! It was a thrill ride from start to finish and I'm officially adding it to my yearly holiday watch.

Off-topic rants include: stylish 80s fashion, corporate office culture, the honest logistics of planning ANY of this

192: You are the most egocentric corpse I've ever met. | An American Werewolf in Paris (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 3 Nov 2024 08:00:00 +0000

This is one of those 90s movies that really shouldn't have been made. Lucky for you that it was so bad that we still ended up having plenty to say about it. Mikey had the unfortunate experience of seeing this in the theater, but in 1997 we were really spoiled for choice at the cinema each week. It wouldn't be a true exploration of 90s movies if we didn't talk about the duds from time to time.

While I wasn't a fan of this hack job of a script that wasted some talented actors, we at least got a good soundtrack. If you watched that BUSH music video for "Mouth" you basically saw the movie. We talk about how Julie Delpy only did the film to pay for her rent, the awkward performance of Tom Everett Scott, and how Julie Bowen had the best part in the entire film. Also, we read some funny Letterboxd reviews.

Off-topic rants include: Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton, Gladiator, Tom Cruise movies

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

If you can believe it, this is my first watch of this cult classic. I somehow managed to never see it until now and I'm obsessed. Of course Mikey is along to talk one of his comfort films and his immense history with this gem. It works for the October season and this also reminds me of The Substance, I've recently seen. Other points are this amazing wardrobe and the magic of Meryl, Goldie, and hottie Bruce Willis.

Off-topics rants include: why this movie is so RHOBH coded, Tales From the Crypt, and why Meryl Street needs to be a 'final girl' in a horror movie

190: Now, was I supposed to turn into the skid? | Hideaway (1995)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

It's movies like this that make me love the 90s. The ability to make multi genre horror thrillers with a domestic medical drama and demon afterlife subplot is unmatched. I was searching for something to review in October and this has been on my list forever, mostly for the stacked cast. I went in knowing nothing and this was nothing short of a wild ride.

I mean Jeff Goldblum as the dad and Alicia Silverstone as the bratty daughter should be reason alone for you to see this. Within the first half of the movie we have demon possession, chunky sweaters, a car accident, and a Pearl Jam reference. Again we have the Pacific Northwest as a backdrop cause (duh, its the 90s) and a very weird and unexplainable Jeremy Sisto.

Off-topic rants include: Buffy parallels and Alicia Silverstone being THAT girl in the 90s

Dark Side of the 90s: Grunge and the Seattle Sound [Patreon Unlocked] 🔓

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 6 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Yes, this is our last foray into the 'Dark Side of the 90s' Vice series.

In keeping with the total and complete theme of FG itself, we just had to talk more about the birth of the Seattle sound and Sub-Pop records. This episode focuses more on the independent label scene and just how corporations really tried to ruin everything.

At least there is a silver lining in the fact that Sub-Pop is still kicking as a label and has become a cultural touchstone to the city of Seattle.

This episode talks to Bruce Pavitt (Sub-Pop co-founder), Charles Peterson (photographer), and others to get a more complete picture.

Ahh another one of those random movies that you never hear about that I own on DVD. I have such a vivid memory of watching this in the theater, basically because I was obsessed with the two actors, Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt.

Even though it's not a holiday movie like at all, I enlisted Mikey to take a walk down the seedy roads of early 00s forensic true crime-ish films. We talk about how the thin script is really made up by the acting, Michael Pitt being amazing, and all the sexual tension between every character. We also touch on this being the film that brought us Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling as a couple for over a year.

189: Hey, ladies, wanna see my spirit stick? | Bring It On (2000)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 15 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0000

I'm ashamed to say that this is my first watch of Bring it On. The upside to this is that I loved it and I'm pissed I didn't see it the first go round. I remember everyone talking about it when I was in high school but because I didn't have cheerleaders at any of my schools, the concept of a cheer movie wasn't my bag.

This prompted me to create yet another list on Letterboxd categorizing movies I wish I'd seen earlier. Me and Mikey are chatting this comedy classic and take another opportunity to talk about why Kirsten Dunst's filmography CAN'T be beat. The range! We get into the hilarious quotes, I have a rant on this bold & vivid ath-leisure, and talk about how this story was better than I thought for a film in 2000.

Off-topic rants include: our Marvel gripes, Where are the comedies, Hollywood?, the Now! music compilation

188: Women are lonely in the 90s. It's our new phase. | Gas Food Lodging (1992)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 8 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0000

I love reviewing films that have been on my list for ages but haven't watched yet. This was such a great film that I took me way too long watch. Over the past few years this has become a theme, so much that I made (and will add to) another list on Letterboxd about films I was obsessed with on a late viewing.

This has now joined the ranks of that list. Gas Food Lodging, directed by Allison Anders is a great drama and coming of age film set in the Southwest. The performances by Fairuza Balk and Ione Skye need to be studied and talked about more. I get into the INCREDIBLE fashion that stemmed from the late 80s, why J. Mascis is great at composing a movie score, and how I loved the end of this story.

Off-topic rants include: fashion and music categorization and why you can think of me as the clerk behind the video rental counter

Love Island USA: Keep Leah's name out of your mouth. | Season 6 Reunion

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:17:11 +0000

What a ride this season has been. Thankfully we have all lived through the reunion that left much to be desired. I talk about what they should do next year for the reunion, what I wish happened, and why we really needed Jana to read that whole receipt transcript paper.

So fun to be on this crazy journey recapping this show..until next summer I'm leaving the villa with my suitcase and water bottle! 🧳🥤🛫

187: Relax, it's only magic. | The Craft (1996) [Remix Edition] w/ Jesse Chambliss

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jesse Chambliss, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

REMIX!!! Yes, it's time for another trip down nostalgia lane to one of the foundational films of my youth, The Craft. This time I have a special guest along for this journey, Jesse Chambliss of Jesse's Girls Podcast!

We start with our deep connection to the film and why he chose this particular throwback. There are behind the scenes discoveries, deleted scenes and the "magic" of this cast being so perfect for this project. Also, a long extensive fashion section discussing the incredible versatility of Fairuza Balk's hair and makeup throughout, deconstructing the Catholic uniform, and the incredible 1997 MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech for 'Best Fight'.

"Well, then understand this: whatever you send out you get back times three."

A Josh Hartnett Summit w/ Samantha @lovefool.99

info@fashiongrunge.com (Samantha, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

It was the thing you could only dream about, to revisit one of your teen idols crushes from back in the day. This happens to be a different circumstance because the crush flame has been burning bright for at least 20+ years.

Since Josh Hartnett wandered into the mainstream (yes he has been working) last year with a part in Oppenheimer and this year in Trap, I had to get Samantha of @lovefool.99 back on the pod to talk one of our favorite actors.

We both were so excited to talk recent moments of this press tour, our thoughts on Trap, run through his filmography, and of course get into the reason for his 'infamous' 90s haircut.

Trap talk: 13:48-20:00

Good lord I can't believe I watched this movie. Usually I'm extremely adverse to topics surrounding possession, the devil, and ghosts. Because this is seen as one of the classic horror films, I had to review it for the pod during spooky season.

Now, some of you may be shocked but I didn't like this as much as everyone else does. Thankfully this makes for an interesting episode and by the end I started to come around a bit. This is one of Jai's faves so it's great to have both ends of the spectrum when it comes to this review.

Also, this is a FASHION movie. I couldn't write down the outfits that I loved fast enough. There are numerous looks that comprise the 60s aesthetic to a tee. The cinematography, locations, and the MANY behind the scenes deets we found were our standouts.

186: That's not a life. It's a J. Crew catalogue. | The In Crowd (2000)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 4 Aug 2024 17:25:14 +0000

What a doozy of a movie to get back to our regularly scheduled programming here on the pod. For this episode we are talking the plot hole ridden and badly acted film from 2000, The In Crowd. Now, the late 90s and early 00s are riddled with films that you can't even believe were made or 'direct to video' movies and sequels before the dawn of streaming where they would have inevitably landed today,

Me and Mikey are here to talk our complicated feelings on this film. We do a dream casting as we would have done it, the literal madness when it comes to this story, and the few moments of levity we were able to find.

Off-topic rants: our other fav late 90s teen thrillers, why Katie Holmes and Kirsten Dunst would have saved this

Yes, it's time for a wrap up episode on this amazing Love Island USA season. It's been a wild ride and the top 3 were really the 'Big 3'. I chat about the final dates sprinkled with some gossip I've seen since the show wrapped. Including Leah's interview on 'Call Her Daddy' podcast and I talk about what I want to see answered at the upcoming reunion.

There is one thing that I genuinely miss about early 00s indie films. Going into the video rental shop and seeing a cover with one of your favorite actors and just taking a whim on a new film. That's exactly how I discovered Pieces of April from 2003.

Starring Katie Holmes who we all loved from Dawson's Creek, and with Patricia Clarkson playing her mother it immediately caught my attention. With a shoe string budget the story and incredible acting takes such a simple story of family dynamics over a holiday weekend and it spins into such a great story and film to watch this season.

Me and Mikey talk about our first time watch (we think?), being shocked this was the only time Patricia Clarkson was nominated for an Oscar, and talk all about how great 'baddie' Katie Holmes looks.

Wooo! I'm really tired of every year seeing my girls in the villa get washed by these boys during the 'Casa Amor' segment of Love Island. That's right, I'm here talking the last week of LI USA and boy is there a lot to cover.

Some things I touch on: Kendall being a snake, Leah still winning me over, we ride at dawn for Jana, Aaron and Rob literally being the couple of the season, and how I can't wait for Serena to turn Kordell inside out on the next episode.

It's July 4th and it's beyond me that we haven't covered the 90s patriotic classic, Independence Day until now. Never fear, I'm here with Dustin from @therewatchrecap to get into it.

This movie meant so much to us growing up and we talk about our long history with it, the sequel that I regrettably saw in theaters, how this casting is perfect (ahem Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch), and reminisce about the best movie President we've ever had.

Transmission Notes (Pop Edition) #2 : being a 'brat', Chappell Roan, music producers, RIP MTV News

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale, dave grohl) — Wed, 3 Jul 2024 00:52:54 +0000

Basically this episode was a reason for me to listen to the 'brat' album and talk to Jules about my hot takes on Chappell Roan and the current pop scene.

I always float in and out of current music offerings. On this episode we get into our favorite tracks of the moment, the Taylor Swift of it all and her shadow over pop, being confused about Sabrina Carpenter, reminisce on the sleaze pop dance of the 2010s (Sky Ferreira, MIA, Santigold, La Roux, Robyn, etc..), and touch on the travesty on the erasure of culture in the form of MTV News.

Villa Download: Love Island USA Season 6 Eps 15-16

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 11:00:00 +0000

As you have learned from my last interview episode, I'm a big Love Island fan. Even if only a small group of people listen, it will all be worth it for me to get my thoughts out on this show I've been watching for the past 5 years. This is the first of my recaps of this current season (6) of the USA version of this night soap/ dating show.

At the start I get into my history with how I started watching the show, my favorite moments of the UK series, and how I currently feel about what's (not) going on in the UK villa right now.

On eps 15-16 I get into the aftermath of that Rob and Leah bust up, Liv being necessary to the story, and why I need Miguel and Rob to face off in this villa. Although 'Casa Amor' is around the corner so all of this could mean nothing because SO much happens day to day.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jules Hale, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

It's time to dust off the gritty 90s VHS archives for an honest and gut wrenching film about growing up in NYC, discovering your queer identity, and the complexities of female relationships.

Jules is along for this episode where we talk 'All Over Me' from 1997. I first rented this in high school and it has been on my list to watch again. This film grew on us as we compared to other films of the time that feel more like a documentary and a visual portrait. The soundtrack was completely up our alley with bands like Babes in Toyland, Helium, and Patti Smith. The fashion was so realistic and inspires today, we read some Letterboxd reviews, and discuss other intense female friendships on film that we enjoy.

Watch the film on Youtube: https://youtu.be/OmfqcIlvd5w?si=xo1q0X8uFDy5agx8

You, Me and 5 Bucks 018: A Love Island UK & USA Download w/ Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast 🏝️

info@fashiongrunge.com (Kendrick Tucker, Lauren M Brown) — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 18:18:25 +0000

🏝️ I'VE GOT A TEXT!

Yes, yes I know it's time to admit that I'm fully into Love Island. I know it's not the typical stuff I cover here on the podcast, but it's a huge part of my brain. So, for this very thing I had to get in contact with Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast to talk about it. Being a fan from afar I already knew that we would be able to jump right in.

We get into a bit of our Bravo thoughts first, how the new UK season is shaping up and whether or not Joey Essex is a producer plant, the current USA season firing on all cylinders, and give our hot takes and thoughts on some of the classic UK seasons of Love Island.

183: Approval neither desired nor required. | To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

We're here and back with one of the best films of the 90s, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

It's Pride month and it was beyond time for us to review it here and who better than Mikey to talk about the long lasting legacy this film has had over the past 30 years. There are so many things that have changed and moved forward but there is still more to be done.

We talk a lot about the incredible characters and arcs throughout, how this is one of Mikey's foundational films, the FASHION and BODY, the endless cameos, and how quotable this entire script is. While I know The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert isn't the same film but since they were released within a year of each other we compare and contrast, and explain why they should be seen as a 'double feature'.

Off-topic rants include: why we need a costume museum, why we need a spin off series of Noxeema and Clara, LOTR/The Hobbit movie series

Mentioned: Trixie Mattel on Reacts To Wong Foo

You, Me and 5 Bucks 017: A fashion chat w/ Hunter Shires of @highendhomo

info@fashiongrunge.com (Hunter Shires, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 9 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

I live for an opportunity to talk about fashion and connect with new people. I've followed Hunter @highendhomo on Twitter and been obsessed with his takes on pop culture and fashion so I knew that it would be great to see things from his perspective. Getting another view from someone who is a bit more plugged in than I am makes for such a great back and forth convo.

We get into the "cancel culture" aftermath of certain designers, how consumption has changed, the industry when it comes to personal style, celebrities, and our own entry by way of either music or muses. There is talk of current magazines, the revolving door of creative directors, and of course we had to touch on the recent hot topics and whiplash of all the names we've heard thrown around for the next head of Chanel.

off-topic rants: current movie and tv faves and the new guard in music

Back Track 014: Don't you want to know why I brought you here? | Dial M for Murder (1954) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 2 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

Man, I love a Hitchcock film. There are few directors that give me chills in the best way and he is one of them. As a master of suspense, tension building, and incredible casting there is nothing better in a classic murder mystery story. These are just some of the brilliant aspects of his filmmaking that we still study today.

My first watch was when I was super young thanks to my mom. This is one of those stories that has become a comfort film to me now in my adulthood. Adapted from a play, Dial M for Murder mainly takes place inside the apartment of Tony and Margot Wendice and as the story unfolds it's exciting from moment to moment.

Me and Charles love the classics, including Ray Milland (woof) and the etherial and later royal Grace Kelly. We talk the behind the scenes. drama and other casting options, how the fashion came together, and questioned how this whole thing could have been solved by having a keychain on your latch key.

Off-topic rants include: Oscars rage segment, the Back to the Future series, scandalous old Hollywood movie themes, and we have a grasshopper interruption about 33 mins in

182: You can't rub Ben-Gay on a heartache. | Calendar Girl (1993)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 26 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Since Charles has been waiting 30 years to see this film I had fairly reasonable expectations. Thankfully this film you can find on YouTube, but that's about the only place you'll see it. You would think in 1993 a film starring Jason Priestley of 90210 fame involving a road trip to Hollywood would be a smash. Welp, that didn't happen.

Most of the time we had no idea what was going on, but we examined this one with today's lens and yikes. We get into why Jerry O'Connell plays the same role over and over, the 60s clothes, and the weirdness of Hollywood 'stalking' Marilyn Monroe in media.

Off-topic rants include: Big Brother and The Challenge, Alessandro Nivola, Glen Powell's time to shine, and movies we wanted to walk out of.

181: It's just a little grass. | Death of a Cheerleader (1994) w/ Dustin of The Rewatch Recap

info@fashiongrunge.com (Dustin Holden, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 19 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Another guest in the house for a trip back to the 90s with our patron saint of the 'TV Movie' , Tori Spelling in Death of a Cheerleader (1994).

This was a more complicated story than we originally thought. We didn't end up loving the movie version and how they essentially manipulated us in the end, but the acting performances were pretty stellar. This includes another batch of hilarious Letterboxd reviews.

We get into why we were shocked that the story devolved the way it did, the pretty realistic but impressive fashion, and some interesting cameos.

Yes, Jai is back here on the pod to talk the recent happenings in fashion but basically we dish some hot topics then straight into our Met Gala recap.

We first discuss the status of Hedi Slimane at LVMH, Susie Bubble at System Magazine and our fave mid 2000s bloggers, Law Roach on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast, and then our hits and misses when it comes to the Met looks. Who was and wasn't on theme, why so much Galliano, some menswear we enjoyed.

Wait so nobody told me how iconic this movie actually is. I have seen Queen of the Damned or parts of it so long ago that I basically haven't seen it. OMG.

I mean disregard the weird storylines and you have a (dope) 90 minute nu-metal music video with a vampire b-story...awesome.

Since it's October and in keeping with the spooky mood we have to talk vampires. Me and Jules had literally the best time talking about this film and discovering all these amazing behind the scenes facts. For the hour we basically complain that there wasn't more Aaliyah (RIP Forever), wish we could pull off these costumes, and talk about how Twilight toootallly was biting the style years later.

Off-topic rants: the Aaliyah and Trent Reznor connection, why me and Jules have to produce a nu-metal documentary,

180: Where's your will to be weird, man? | The Doors (1991) [Patreon Unlocked]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Thu, 2 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

It's rare that an actor inhabits a role so much that even the people closest to the real Jim Morrison were confused on whether or not it was really him. In the 1991 film by Oliver Stone Val Kilmer became the legendary lead singer of The Doors.

I was ultra stoked to talk about this film because I have a real life super fan of The Doors along for the ride, Jai! We talked about the real story of the band, the conspiracy theories, and wonder why Meg Ryan was cast as Pamela.

You, Me and 5 Bucks 016: A chat w/ Meghan Smith of Melody Note Vintage

info@fashiongrunge.com (Meghan Smith, Lauren M Brown) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0000

It's time for another interview series! I've been a student of Meghan's through her insightful TikTok, and I knew that I had to talk to her about being in the epicenter of what became known as 'grunge' in Seattle in the late 80s/90s. We had a time and covered so much ground.

Some of the points we chat about include: indie record culture, the death of paper concert tickets, working the famous Nirvana in-store show, and moving to Palm Springs, CA and opening a vintage store. I found out what it's really like to go viral online, views on fashion TikTok and IG, sustainability in fashion, and cap it off with a Henry Rollins anecdote.

Enjoy! 🎸👖

Finally, after our technical snafus here is the episode on Annie Hall. This has been on the list for both me and Charles since the start of this podcast. During our teenage years we both saw Annie Hall and the filming structure and humor was nothing we had ever seen before.

Diane Keaton is a breath of fresh air in this captivating titular character that inspires the fashion industry almost 40 years later. Me and Charles basically quote the entire film and point out the details in cinematography that were so modern for the time and even now few filmmakers master.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Yes, it's finally here. The day we are talking the 1991 hit and fashion foundational film, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. It's been a long time coming since this is my first official complete watch ( I know I'm ashamed, don't talk to me). Charles tells the story about how this is one of the building blocks of his film education, and for good reason.

I get into why no one told me me there was a c***y version of Mulder and Scully, why Rose Lindsey is best feminist icon, and just how worthless the rest of this family is besides Swell. Also touching on the scary realities of the corporate world, the feeling when you first discover 'petty cash', and the similarities to 'The Hills'.

It's that time again! Dusting off one of our early episodes for a remix edition! We're going back to Salt Lake City, Utah in the mid 80s to see what Stevo and Heroin Bob are up to. I really need no excuse to talk about this film again. Our first episode was during the pandemic so it's high time that I review one of my 'foundational' films again.

Mikey joined me on this one to talk about our love for Matthew Lillard, the outlandish and amazing fashion, and the countless hilarious scenes and characters we meet along the way.

Off-topic rants include: more Scream talk, a brief chat on the Mod subculture, how Showgirls really is one of the best films of the 90s

178: It's melting! | Kuffs (1992)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 07:00:00 +0000

What is it about Christian Slater? He has the charm to basically almost carry anything. Well, Kuffs is a little known action comedy from 1992 that only really survives because of the magic of our lead character. Charles picked this one and it was a light refresher into why the 90s had such a diverse group of film genres.

We talk about the unexpected fashion we loved, just wonder what the hell this script was about, and take a look at the recent work of Slater and why this movie would have made a fun tv series.

Off-topic rants include: my GOT watching progress, Real World: Hawaii, and I ask Charles whether or not I should start watching Scandal

For this episode I talk about my own history with loving cars, Angelina Jolie as Sway being the blueprint, and why Nic Cage will always reign supreme.

Well, welcome to the circus. Or otherwise known as one of the darkest, most fucked up, brilliant show from the early 00s called Nip/Tuck. At first anything around surgery was like a definite no but in college I got sucked in.

Me and Mikey are suckers for shows like this and loved going back to just the pilot episode. We try to keep it pretty spoiler free in case you haven't seen the show but OMG. We get into Kimber's introduction, why we are annoyed with Julia, how Sean is such a bore in the start, Matt being like a red flag, and Christian continuing to be best part of the show.

Transmission Notes #1 : Love Is Blind, Willy Wonka Experience, Coachella lineup, Music biz thoughts and more!

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Fri, 1 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000

OK, this was super chaotic and me and Jules basically went rogue and talked about random topics for over an hour...

We get into our current Love is Blind thoughts, the memes of the Willy Wonka Experience, create our own internet family (Daddy, Mother, and babygirl), and we get into the weeds of Hollywood and the current state of the heartthrob actor.

0:00- 25:00 Love Is Blind talk

Forward Flash 034: Hey, there's something down here... | The Descent (2005) [Patreon Preview}

This is the perfect example of 'never leave the house' and 'don't go descenting into unknown cave systems'. I wasn't sure what film to do so again I asked Charles for another suggestion. I have no idea what I did to deserve this because I literally sat cowering in fear in broad daylight watching this. Not only did it build masterful tension and take me on a journey I couldn't expect, but it broke barriers with an all female cast creating a horror film through spelunking and cave exploration.

Me and Charles get into why we are immediately reminded of Blair Witch and Buffy throughout, how you can't trust anyone, and why you should also always have a backup map in case someone kicks in a river or leaves it in a CAR.

176: Maybe the next one, darling. | Crash (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 18 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Finally I've stepped into the world of David Cronenberg films. It really is fitting that the first one I see and review is Crash from 1996. It was both me and Charles' first watch and we were enthralled. The exploration of subcultures I always find fascinating and this certain was that. We talk about the physical reactions to car crashes, how James Spader is THAT one, and constantly remind you that it's not the same film as that abomination that won Best Picture in 2004.

off-topic rants include: who we would like to see in the film now, Christopher Meloni, Coen films, the history of NC-17 movies

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0000

This was a first watch for both me and Jules. Objectively it's no Oscar winner but when you see it for what it is, there was something there. The casting was incredible and Tara Reid basically stole the show.

We get into the realistic fashion, so many quotes we loved, a real-time deep dive on the director (eek), and just how this story was unbelievable and infuriating at times.

Off-topic rants include: ghost rom-com casting, 'losing your V card' as a movie genre, our first musician crushes

I can't even begin to tell you everything we talked about but lets just say we talked about Tyra Banks fainting on ANTM, fashion adjacent reality shows, MTV reality that raised us, Bravo a plenty, including our thoughts on the new Vanderpump Rules season, and soo much more!

What says July 4th other than shark attacks and no holds barred capitalism?

That's right we're talking Jaws from 1975! I have never seen this movie (can you believe it?) so Charles suggested it for July 4th this year!

I loved this movie for so many reasons but basically the willingness of these townspeople to ignore warnings of a Great White shark that has killed multiple people at this very beach is alarming. We get into so many details we loved about the story including: the evil Mayor of the town, Hooper being super stylish, and an interesting FMK of our main characters.

off-topic rants but not really include many stories and stats about sharks, megalodons, and why the sea shouldn't be trifled with

174: Behind the Music Videos | Volume 1

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000

The time has come. I finally recorded an episode on my own. A first time here on the show. It was hard deciding although I did do an internet poll and 'top music videos of the 90s' won.

This took me a while to get in the mood to do but I selected these videos not really as random but as a good representation of all these varying types of narratives that I loved in videos during my teenage years. I did some behind the scenes research and cruised some message boards to dig deeper. I basically talk about what these meant to me at a time when the art of the music video meant so much.

A first on the podcast, we have a special guest for a Forward Flash episode! I'm joined by Samantha of the nostalgia account Lovefool.99 on IG! This was such a blast to deconstruct an early 2000s classic.

Swim along with us as we try to make sense of this literal insane story, the weird acting, and the questionable fashion choices. Like, why does Madison look like she works in a bank?

We get off track then find our way back in the lane to talk the ins and outs of the oddly high body count, the weird teen obsession film genre of the 90s/00s, and why this totally should have had a sequel.

Enjoy! 💦

And we're back with another interview episode! I did promise I would do more of these this year and what a better way to start than to chat to Ashley and Britney of Black Girl Film Club Podcast! As per usual we were all over the place when it comes to the topics we covered. The way we analyze films these days is always so interesting to me. We touch on how the discovery and reviewing of films has changed in the age of social media.

We get into what new films we're looking forward to, our reality tv watching habits, why people are just waking up to Mark-Paul Gosselaar, going through actor eras (binging filmographies), politics of awards season, and I mean we talked about it ALL!

173: I'm not going back. | Born Into Exile (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Some considerable time has passed since we last explored the 'movie of the week' genre on the podcast. Luckily, if we ever run out of 90s films to talk about, there are literally thousands to pull from. This is one that has really stuck with me since I was a teenager. I remember taping this from tv and cutting the commercials out so I could watch it back uninterrupted. Out of all of the films, this particular one I watched ALL the time.

I got Charles on this episode who knew nothing about it to watch it for the episode. While you think it may be a more lighthearted tale of a girl who leaves home, that is most definitely not the whole story. It gets pretty dark when this teenager is coping with how to survive on the streets with her 19 year old (eek) boyfriend/partner in crime. We talk the ins and outs of the story and just how much happens to them along the way, the holes in the story, and why we wish there was a more detailed ending to this tale.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 7 Jan 2024 12:00:00 +0000

What a way to welcome the New Year. Excess Baggage is a film from 1997 that almost takes you there but then falls short overall. The casting honestly saved this whole project but it really puts into perspective the importance of a tight story and seamless collaboration.

This film was riddled with re-writes and re-shoots which is typically not a good sign, however watching for the charm and nostalgia factor really made up for it. Me and Mikey spent this episode pointing out the story holes, the drama on set during filming, and I drool over Benicia Del Toro.

Off-topic rants include: male celebs as ice cream flavors, Patreon news, and why I loved the Eternals movie, Drag Race

There is such a distinct memory I have watching Rebecca for the first time. My Mom showed this to me when I was about 10 and thank goodness because my bar for cinema was set pretty high from the jump.

This is one of me and Charles' all time favorite films and we have been quoting it in real life for years so it's high time we review it proper. We get into the behind the scenes drama with Hitchcock and the producer Selznick, casting drama and mess, and have another Oscar rage segment because this is a near perfect film.

Off-Topic rants include: why we should honestly be terrified of orcas, MTV Unplugged vs. VH1's Storytellers, objectifying men in politics and why need a hottie President

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Well, we're here. Yes I had to talk about Saltburn, the recent release by Emerald Fennell. I can't remember a time where I've seen a film twice in the theater within a week. There was just something that grabbed me from the first trailer viewing that I knew I had to see this on the big screen.

Because I haven't shut up about it over the past three weeks I had to enlist both Charles and Mikey that I saw it with on two different occasions for this special episode. We talk about some crazy story points, the wild reactions to several scenes, and how I now worship at the altar of Barry Keoghan.

It's not officially the Christmas season without a rewatch of the 90s classic, Home Alone. I have some residual trauma around this film from when I was kid and I only now as an adult really see the true chaotic and terrifying nature of it all.

Me and Mikey talk the memories of our youth we have with the film, how Macaulay CARRIED, and basically want to call child services on the worst family imaginable.

Off-topic rants include: the Cher Christmas album, Buzz being Sid from Toy Story, and 90s daddy's on screen

Girl Power! No, really!

You know we couldn't talk about the 90s without mentioning the glue that held us all together, the Spice Girls. I finally have Mikey and Jules on a podcast together to talk about our favorite girl group from across the pond.

169: So much for the first coma. | Reversal of Fortune (1990)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 12:00:00 +0000

In keeping with our 'domestic drama' theme we wandered into by accident, we're talking Reversal of Fortune from 1990. Based on the true story and legal case of Claus von Bülow told through the eyes of his lawyer Alan Dershowitz. This was Charles' pick and from my glance of this trailer I thought I was in for an erotic thriller of epic proportions but turns out it was a legal drama of all legal dramas. Although, anything with Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close is immediately intriguing. At this point I would watch them both read the phone book in a poorly lit room.

We get into some of our favorite fashion looks (there were MANY), the magic of Christine Baranski, more reasons to love Jeremy Irons, and a mini Oscars rage moment that Glenn Close wasn't nominated.

We also have cemented this as a Christmas movie. 🎄

Off-topic rants include: Michael Crichton's Micro, law school practices, how the public should vote for future movies to put into production

There are times when I think about the films and directors that shaped me in my teenage years. Back in the 90s I could have never imagined connecting with anyone outside of my own friend group who liked the same weird movies and things I did. Now, because of this magical place called the internet it's easy to find people from all corners of the world and generations with shared interests.

This brings me to the latest interview episode. I connected with Kev via IG on our love for Gregg Araki movies. Since there is all this hype surrounding the latest remastered editions of The Doom Generation and Nowhere, it was great to chat with someone who has been to the screenings and has some 'irl' experience with the cast.

We get into how we discovered Araki, Gen Z and Millennial culture, and much more!

Better late than never. It's still the weekend of the Thanksgiving holiday so here is another holiday themed film that fits the bill. I have heard of this one but it's a first time watch for me. The cast was an immediate draw that made me so amped to finally review.

Me and Charles talked about how we loved the 70s fashion, question how this wasn't nominated for any Oscars, and basically talk other films in the 'domestic drama' category

Off-topic rants include: Oscars/Award show facts, an embarrassing antidote, and the hierarchy of wildlife documentaries

167: Danger is my middle name. | Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Groovy baby, yeah!

Yes, even I can't believe there are movies that we haven't talked about yet and we're over 150 episodes in. This is another example of just that. Austin Powers is a comfort film for me that I didn't' realize until I started this review. The soundtrack has been burned into my brain for years as I used to play it to fall asleep throughout my mid teens.

Me and Mikey reviewed this one and it was laughs all the way through! We get into the hilarious moments, LOTS of behind the scenes, the FASHION, and rave about the fact that this soundtrack is a whole swingin' VIBE.

Off-topic rants include: Marvel movies, how I haven't seen a James Bond film, my new adventure starting The Crown

It's first for the podcast! On this special bonus edition me and Jules are giving our thoughts on the new Sofia Coppola film, Priscilla that just premiered last week. We were instantly enthralled by the amazing visuals and world that Sofia creates around her characters so well.

There is no format for this one so enjoy this random chat covering the film, the Lana Del Rey of it all, how we're so intrigued by Priscilla, Elvis being a weirdo, and more!

Back Track 010: I felt so much, that I started to feel nothing. | Christiane F. (1981) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 5 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000

This film has been on my list for a while but it slipped my memory as of late. It popped into my head and I was sure that Jai would be up to do an episode on it.

Much to my surprise this was her first time watching and this was probably my second or third watch. This film is an incredible true story of a 13 year old girl Christiane F. taking place in mid 70s West Berlin.

I was so focused on the performances and depictions of drug abuse and the desperation of youth at that time. In contrast the acting feels so raw and real as if you're watching a documentary.

We found a copy on YouTube and it's one of those films you have to see to believe. Some points we mentioned are the facts of the real Christiane F., a 2016 Gucci campaign "inspired" by this story, and the musical factor of having this story set to David Bowie songs.

166: Midnight margaritas! | Practical Magic (1998)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

What a cute little movie! A great way to end off this October season and a perfect vibe for this Halloween! This is my first time watching this one and although I feel like I've seen it through film stills on Tumblr already. Nothing could have prepared me for how I want to LIVE inside of this movie. In the house, garden, and especially with the coolest Aunts in the galaxy.

Me and Mikey covered this one and even though he's seen it multiple times, it's still every bit as exciting. Our only gripes were that the story seemed a bit weird in the middle. While we were hoping for more of a Thelma and Louise type vibe it went a bit more Exorcist. We cover the amazing fashion and incredible resume of the costume designer, Judianna Makovsky and obsess over another successful 90s soundtrack.

Off-topic rants include: Mikey's Haunted House search, movie studio interference, and putting respect on Bella Swan's name and my complete shock in finding out Mikey is Team Jacob..the audacity!

165: If I let you go, do you think that you can fly? | The Good Son (1993)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

This is another one of those films I'm surprised we haven't covered until now. I have faint memories of watching this in a 90s basement during a sleepover as a kid but it's definitely been a while since I've watched as an adult. Luckily Jules had never heard of this one and we get her first time watch thoughts.

We both talk about how the two primary characters, Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood were acting their hearts out in this, the normie 90s fashion and nod to Tonya Harding, and the WILD behind the scenes drama involved.

Off-topic rants: Jules' nanny horror stories, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and children playing psychologically damaging roles in Hollywood

Forward Flash 032: Truth is cool but unattainable... | Y Tu Mamá También (2001) [Patreon Preview]

It's been a while since we've reviewed a film after 2000. Y Tu Mamá También has been on my list and it's the perfect film for this summer heat and the spirit of adventure and exploration.

Me and Jai had a great time diving into this world that neither one of us have visited in quite a while. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón who takes you on a short but fulfilling journey that leaves you questioning and reminiscing about your own similar experiences.

We found a lot of behind the scenes info, drool over Gael, and realize just how much we relate to Luisa.

164: I'm your number one fan. | Misery (1990)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

I have to say that Misery has been on my list to watch and review for a minute. This really is the perfect film for the October season. A winter cabin, cozy decor, and a seemingly Good Samaritan who turns out to be a...let's just say "over zealous fan".

Charles was in the throws of a Kathy Bates era in the 90s and this is essentially my first watch. We get into the practical winter fashion, the Sheriff and Deputy wife stealing scenes, changes from the novel to screen, and the long list of actors who turned down the role of Paul Sheldon.

Off-topics rants include: Captain Planet tv series, Loki, cartoons that scarred us as children

163: They won't be back... I don't think they like me. | Fire in the Sky (1993)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 8 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Well it's October season and we're here to bring the thrills and chills. Charles picked this one and by about 20 mins in I was terrified. The concept of any type of abduction is terrifying, alien or not. While this was released in '93, its based on a true story that happened in the 70s.

We had a time chatting this movie including the male logging thirst trap montage early on, the fashion choices, and why you should never leave the house or get out of a car to investigate a strange hovering red beam of light in the dar forest.

Off-topic rants include: Roswell tv show, Jaws, the Canadian tuxedo

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Wed, 4 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Since everyone loves our chat episodes, me and Jai talk another hectic fashion month season. Neither one of us are too crazy about spring fashion in general, but we did talk about our favorite (and not so fave) collections for a whole 2 hours.

We break it down by cities: New York, London, Milan, and finally Paris. Some of the brands we talk are: Proenza Schouler, Gucci, JW Anderson, Sacai, Prada, and much more!

🖤 Enjoy!

162: Ya, I'm always like this. | Boys (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 1 Oct 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Another classic example in the 90s of studio interference that ruined what could have been a standout film. With a great cast and a disappointing story trajectory, we were left wanting wayyy more at the end of this.

Me and Jai only watched for Queen Winona. Granted, she tried to carry this film but ultimately the script was lacking and she dine have much help in terms of a strong actor in the lead role. Instead of not reviewing it we did get into what we would change, things that would have helped the story out, and talked a bit of gossip about the stars

off-topic rants: the 90s "Pussy Posse", Gwyneth Paltrow, BFFs

161: You're a smooth smoothie, you know? | Fargo (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Here we are. Another classic film of the 90s that I am just watching for the first time. I'm not as familiar with the Coen Brother's work so this is a newer genre for me. I've heard so much about Fargo for years and I'm soo glad that I've finally watched it. Me and Charles take a deep dive and basically rave about how much we love Frances McNormand.

There are so many quotable moments that we try to dramatically act out, I realize that I have a massive crush on Steve Buscemi, and now we want to watch the new series'.

Off-topic rants: Oscar rage minute, Oprah, niche films, other shocking films I've never watched

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 11:00:00 +0000

It's been a while since me and Jai recorded a proper fashion chat episode. We talk on the phone all the time about what's going on in fashion and there were some things before our FW collection review that I wanted to touch on.

We start out talking our underwhelming feelings on the new Helmut Lang collection, Tremaine Emory leaving Supreme, my recent print magazine purchases, Karlie Kloss possibly buying i-D , the Tabi swiper, new TikTok creator discoveries, and some other random bits

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 3 Sep 2023 11:00:00 +0000

If you're looking for a seedy, movie of the week type film that almost takes you there but not quite...look to Devil in the Flesh from 1998. I had seen some of the stills one night on Tumblr, and I enlisted Mikey to chat about our first time thoughts.

We touch on what the story needed to push further, the accurate fashion, and why a kicking soundtrack could have really saved this film.

Off-topic rants: I got Mikey into Vanderpump Rules and we chat about it from about 27:00-40:00

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Well, in this film we didn't get a Final Analysis but boy did we get a whiplash of a story. Based on the movie poster I thought I was getting this racy erotic thriller and while we kinda did, we ended up getting baited and switched in a good way.

Me and Charles had a good first time watch with some surprising results. The fashion, the film noir structure, and the nod to Hitchcock we definitely noticed.

Off-topic rants include: 60 Days In, fav movie of the weeks from the 90210 casts during summer hiatus

Any chance that I get to talk about the television shows that "made" me is what I life for. For the next episode in the interview series I had a chat with writer Thea Glassman, author of Freaks, Gleeks, and Dawson's Creek: How Seven Shows Transformed Television. She focuses on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, My So Called Life, Dawson's Creek, The OC, Freaks and Geeks, Glee, and Friday Night Lights.

We basically just a have a super fun chat about some of our favorite nostalgic moments of late 90s television. My So Called Life, Dawson's Creek, and Freaks and Geeks were the shows we focused on as the others I haven't seen. Although after speaking with her I'm def adding Friday Night Lights to my growing list of classic shows to watch. I discovered so many behind the scenes deets that she uncovered while writing the book.

Enjoy! ☕️🍿

158: Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched? | Stealing Beauty (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Imagine a wanderlust summer in a sun drenched villa on the hill in Tuscany. That's where this film takes us in a perfect summer film. This being Liv Tyler's first starring role is insane because she floats through this whole film like the beautiful dream that she is.

Me and Jai took a walk down memory lane with our own similar stories of unforgettable summers away from home. We didn't find out a lot in terms of behind the scenes, but we do touch on the questionable history of the directors previous works. Including some aspects of this story which could have done without the male gaze.

As always we get into the fashion and music which are top notch. This has sleeper soundtrack you may not be expecting with Portishead, Hole, Liz Phair, Nina Simone, etc... Just a cinematic dream along with fashion designs from Giorgio Armani.

157: Is everyone in this town on drugs? | U-Turn (1997)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Ok, so for this one I took a chance and found a film that both me and Mikey haven't seen before. I vividly remember seeing tv spots during the 1997 MTV VMAs. The casting immediately was my draw, that and being directed by Oliver Stone. Well, suffice to say that we were underwhelmed with this script in particular. The beautiful cinematography by Robert Richardson was particularly striking despite the lacking story.

We did find something to talk about like the amazing desert fashion, interesting music choices, and how this ending was kinda buck wild but fitting.

Off-topic rants include: talking about the movie Scream, Ryan Gosling, and why the upcoming Joker 2 could have been an email

You, Me and 5 Bucks 009: A chat w/ Kelli Williams of @laguna_biotch

info@fashiongrunge.com (Kelli Williams, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 23 Jul 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Oh, the early 2000s. A whimsical time where we were just figuring out this new cultural shift after the 90s decade. The new millennium was an interesting time in so many ways. We had a new era of reality tv to cling to in the form of Laguna Beach and later The Hills.

We talked the first episode of Laguna on Patreon a while ago but I had to go deeper with another pop culture afficianado, Kelli Williams of Beyond the Blinds Podcast and the Laguna Biotch account on IG.

I would like to say that we stuck to a script but we basically shot around all over the place! We get into PR relationships, the change of MTV, early days of The Challenge, Real World, Bravo's Summer House, and sooo much more!

🫧 Enjoy!

156: RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT! | Mission: Impossible (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 11:00:00 +0000

What are you even doing with your life if you aren't jumping out of a plane or off the side of a building at 60 being a literal spy?

Since it's Mission: Impossible season it was only right to review the one that started it all, the 1996 chapter. As children of the 80s both me and Jai are super familiar with Tom Cruise as an entity and every year he seems to ratchet up our collective blood pressure with each installment in the franchise.

We both remember seeing this film back in the day and it was such a fun ride. Some of the things we touch on is the amazing minimalist fashion, some Scientology, and marvel at the practical effects they used on the most "impossible" scenes.

There is nothing that excites me more than talking about television. As a true child of the 90s, I lived by the tv on weeknights. One of the formative shows of my teenage years is and will always be, Dawson's Creek.

I had an almost 2 hour chat with Stephen and Jayme of Creek Talk Podcast ALL about our mutual journey with the residents of Capeside. We touch on the brilliance of Abby Morgan, the strange storylines and hilarious moments, and other shows and moments that keep our nostalgic hearts beating.

*mentally I'm at the Icehouse restaurant

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 9 Jul 2023 14:52:35 +0000

*this episode first appeared on Patreon

It's honestly a travesty that me, a self proclaimed 90s enthusiast and Charles, Dino expert didn't know this film existed until a few weeks ago.

I was instantly lured in by Paul Walker in a crop top but stayed for the sorta sweet and completely zany story with an incredible wardrobe. Denise Richards is looking like Kelly Bundy meets Shannen Doherty and we talk about it ALL.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 2 Jul 2023 11:00:00 +0000

We decided to take one last dust off the indie film batch for the end/beginning of the month. Here's yet another film that I've never heard anyone mention, Get Real (1998). This was both me and Mikey's second time viewing it since the 90s and what a delight it was to watch.

We get into Mikey's history with the film and seeing it in the cinema, do a recast with our own current casting, and talk about the many quotes we loved that flew under the radar.

*there are a lot of random off-topic rants including Mikey's cruising stories, Black Mirror, audio recording questions, Seinfeld, and why was Buffy not an actual vampire slayer and more

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jules Hale, Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 11:00:00 +0000

It was beyond time to revisit this film that was part of my formative years. We first covered this film early in the podcast days and during the pandemic. There wasn't a clear format back then so any opportunity I have to talk about how much this film means to me is warranted. On this episode we use our regular format with reviews and me and Jai get a new look through Jules' eyes who was seeing it for the first time.

We get into the chokehold Leo had on us in the 90s, the INCREDIBLE casting and acting, and more of the fashion we crave.

Off-topic rants: the Twilight comparison and formative films

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:09:58 +0000

Since more people listened to our last fashion chat episode than expected we just had to do another one. Of course as soon as we finished recording the last one, all this news broke of creative directors leaving their posts.

Me and Jai touch on all the shifting going around in the industry, the new Rick and Prada mens shows, new magazine pickups, and Pharrell Williams new collection and spectacle at Louis Vuitton, and much more!

🖤🪡 Enjoy!

153: He's kind of like a male Kate Moss. | Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (1998)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Well, it's time to dust off the old movie vault for this one. I put up a poll on IG to see if anyone has heard or even seen this film and it was a mystery to most. Now, this film I first saw ages ago at Mikey's house and seeing it again all these years later just brought me such delight.

This quirky indie rom com stars Sean Hayes before he was known as Jack from Will and Grace. He's a Polaroid (ahh!) photographer who falls in love with a cute coffee barista boy (how 90s) who is a perfect facsimile of Brad Pitt in the Meet Joe Black era. It's all but almost disappeared from the internet so I hope that this will revive your memories if you have seen it or encourage you to track it down if this is a new find.

Me and Mikey get into the adorable story, the interesting storytelling, cool late 90s fashion, and the pure CAMP throughout.

Off-topic rants include: Wayne's World, some gossip, JTT and 90s heartthrobs, and more Vanderpump Rules chat

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 11:00:00 +0000

This was a somber episode. Leaving Las Vegas has been on my list to watch for so long and I just had to be in a certain mood. Turns out this was that time. I had long heard of this performance that won Nicolas Cage his Lead Actor Oscar in 1995 but I never expected to be hit this emotionally hard by a film.

Me and Charles talk the cinematography and the different side of Vegas, how Nic Cage prepared for a role like this, Elisabeth Shue's fashion, and some interesting behind the scenes bits.

Off-Topic rants include: Tom Cruise tiffs, Barbie and Oppenheimer, Kelly Bundy: fashion icon

151: I'll see you in your dreams. | Queer as Folk (US): Pilot (2000)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Tue, 6 Jun 2023 13:31:48 +0000

It's Pride month and what better to kick it off than talking one of me and Mikey's favorite shows from our high school days, Queer as Folk!

While this is the US version that premiered on Showtime, we had never seen anything like this and that's possibly why it has stayed with us over 20 years later. This is based on the UK series which was much shorter, however this version has some incredible characters that you just can't help but fall in love with.

For a trip down memory lane we are discussing only the pilot episode and keep it spoiler free for those who haven't seen it before. We talk our introduction to the show, my stories of traveling to Best Buy to get the box set every season, the incredible soundtracks that are missing from the streaming versions, those steamy sex scenes, and get into what hasn't aged well over the years.

150: "Evil" spelled backwards is "live". | Summer of Sam (1999)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mike Marks) — Tue, 30 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

You can actually feel the heat in this film. It instantly transports you into this neighborhood all taking place during the Son of Sam murders in 1970s New York City. Immediately there were similarities to the DC sniper case that we both lived through that we touched on. Spike Lee's film perfectly captured the paranoia and utter fear that gripped the whole city, but within this specific community.

It was basically my first watch and for the 150th episode and the start of the summer season, it just worked out pretty well

Me and Mikey talked about the costumes, some unexpected scenes, what we would have changed, and the crazy behind the scenes facts we dug up.

off-topic rants include: The Faculty, rating Hollywood men over 50, and how I got Mikey to finally get into Vanderpump Rules

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Tue, 23 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

I love doing these random off the cuff chats. Since me and Jai talk about this stuff anyway why not put it in an episode. Of course I didn't plan for it to be a whole 2 hours but here we are.

We get into so many things like the recent headlines in fashion, content creators and their evolution, the Chloe Sevigny & Dover Street sales, Tiktok bans, weird micro trends, get into Vice filing for bankruptcy, reviewing some 'awful and weird' Cruise collections from Gucci and Chanel, and the end of MTV News.

It's the 80s! You know that decade that was so ridiculous and debaucherous that it seems cartoonish. That decade birthed Jordan Belfort and 20 years later they made a movie depicting his life.

I have to say this film was requested and I'm glad it was because it's one I always enjoy. Partly because of my teenage crush on Leo, but also this was the first film that he showed yet another range of acting besides deeply dramatic. This one is wild and COMPLETELY off the rails (pun intended).

Me and Charles dive into this story and about how there is just scene after scene of crazy for 3 hours, the amazing costumes, best cast, and have yet another segment of 'Oscar Rage'.

Off-topic rants include: The Simpsons, Wes Anderson, why movies are getting longer

149: Are we on 'Cops' again? | Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Tue, 16 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

in the 90s you could always count on a dark comedy. It's the best decade for these out of control stories with the most offensive humor. While society has changed light years it seems in about 20 years, there are still these 'time capsule' films that are so wild you can't even believe they were made. I questioned this very point when I watched Drop Dead Gorgeous about the literal explosive dark world of a local beauty pageant in Minnesota.

This was my first time watching and Charles hit this one again right on the head. I loved it. We talked about the stellar stacked cast, how we love a mockumentary format, and basically worship at the altar of Kirsten Dunst.

off-topic rants include: Charles' wild boarding school weekends, a wildlife minute, The Simpsons, and Shazam

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Tue, 9 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Oi! Oi! Who's ready for a diamond heist accompanied by some of the best characters ever? Yes, we're talking the 2000 film by Guy Ritchie, Snatch. While now Ritchie is a household name, in the late 90s he was just getting started and we become so wrapped up in this London caper. This is one of my all time favorite films that I can recite it word for word.

Me and Jai get into many behind the scenes facts, why Brad Pitt was desperate to be in this film, and wonder why we didn't get more Benicio (swoon).

Off-topic rants include: Radiohead, Madonna, tv watching habits

Deep Cut: Beverly Hills 90210 | U4EA (1991) & Snowbound (1996) [Patreon Unlocked]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 2 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Since last week was my birthday I decided to unlock a Patreon episode! Enjoy 2 hrs of 90210 talk!

Description:

This show was really wild. In order to fill a schedule with over 270 episodes the amount of storylines that 90210 produced is just out there. Since we aren't devoting the entire show to recapping the show me and Charles decided to pick some of our standouts and it has to do with the vices and party drugs that crept into the show.

At first we take a lighthearted fun approach to underground rave culture with (shock!) bad girl Emily Valentine. In Season 2's U4EA (1991) episode we get into the fashion that's amazing, Emily's vibe and how much Brenda hates her, and how Brandon is actually cool to be around for once.

Now, it takes a different and darker turn in Season 6's Snowbound (1996) we get a front row seat to the development of 'Cocaine Kelly' and her relationship with "artist" Colin. There are so many iconic moments that we get into about the show as a whole and just how Luke Perry is so amazing and will forever be the glue of the show.

Off-topic rants include: our favorite tv themes, tv censorship of the 90s, and the spinoffs that ensued.

Even though this is an episode about a film released after 2000 it takes place in early 80s England. This film I vividly remember seeing and immediately being so taken with it. I bought a copy and it's stayed with me for decades.

Me and Jai talked the scary similarities in today's world, the inspiration of the story, powerful scenes, and how much we love actor Stephen Graham.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 11:00:00 +0000

When we talk about formative movies of my childhood, Tommy Boy is top 3. I wore my VHS tape out and finally we're getting to talk about it here on the pod. I enlisted Jules, my 90s comedy buddy to review this one. And HOLY SCHNIKES!

The both of us had a literal Baja blast talking this iconic comedy buddy road trip film starring legends Chris Farley and David Spade. We could basically quote the entire thing and we spend the first half of the episode talking about the state of comedy past and present, classic SNL casts, and the literal genius and melancholy of the subject matter.

We're back on the Patreon with a blast from the past! And boy was this one a doozy. Charles picked this one and I completely forgot how this film descends into literal chaos at the end. Apparently there was a sequel novel set in the 70s, which was interesting to hear about.

This was a great watch again and it's easy to see why this is one of cinema's classics of the 1960s. We get into the Oscars that year, the casting process, and so many of our favorite scenes and lines.

off topic rants include: Season 3 of The Simpsons, Daria, Kendall Roy, and Survivor

146: You used me for football. I'll use you to get into Harvard. | School Ties (1992)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 11:00:00 +0000

In keeping with the worlds 'Brendan Fraser Renaissance' it was time to discuss the film that started his career, School Ties. While this film is hard to watch for many reasons, it's still required viewing. The story is set in the 1950s and revolves around the anti-Semitism at a boys prep school. While the performances of emerging actors that we know so well today are front and center, it's Brendan Fraser that really gives such a powerful performance.

This was Jai's first time watching and for me it's been a good while since I've seen it. Basically not only does it seem that boys prep schools are breeding grounds for evil in this film, however the adults are not much better. In our behind the scenes research we learned an incredible amount about where actress Amy Locane is now, prep fashion, and the casting process.

*apologies for the weird audio

145: Everybody steals from everybody, that's Hollywood. | Swingers (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 11:00:00 +0000

We're finally getting back into the swing of things (haha) here on the pod and talking one of the most quotable films of the 90s, Swingers! After three years it seems baffling to me that I haven't talked about this film yet. I know you know someone who had this movie poster on their wall, and yet it's one I don't hear talked about too much.

Written by Jon Favreau and starring most of his emerging actor friends, this film is part time capsule and part subculture view. We follow a super baby faced Vince Vaughn with his fast talking, story telling that he becomes known for years later and hear about movie auditions, lingering breakups, and constant cinema references. Me and Charles had a blast giving our favorite scenes, dramatic interpretations, and decide whether or not we're money.

Off topic rants include: Jurassic Park, Survivor, MTV's The Challenge

at 1:10:00 we talk a little about Season 2 Ep 3 of Yellowjackets (spoilers)

I'm trying to work past my social anxiety and connect with more people on the podcast. This brings me to one of my favorite pop culture nostalgia accounts, Lovefool99 on IG & TikTok.

Me and Samantha talk for over an hour about everything. We get into how the page started, the famous followers she has, and what popular 90s star blocked her page (it's a story haha). I could basically talk about the various changes in our media consumption and wild 90s movie themes all day.

We also go deep on Josh Hartnett (Zeke forever)

Enjoy! 🛼

Was this just a movie that I liked because I was 18 and does it hold up all these years later? The answer is yes and I'm so glad this is one of those DVDs that I've kept since 2002.

Now, there are more than a few cringe moments that don't age well that me and Jai of course had to talk about. Also noted are so many nostalgic fashion trends here and we get into them ALL.

*The pod is taking a break after this ep so new episodes will be back April 11th!

Well, it's been a while but we're back to talk fashion. So much has changed since the last time (in 2020) we talked fashion shows here on the pod. In this 2 hour conversation we first touch on fashion gossip from Pharrell at Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, the future of the magazine industry, and just how the creative direction of the industry as a whole has radically changed.

Me and Jai talk our highlights of various Autumn/Winter 23 collections. Including Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten, Prada, GCDS, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, Off-White, Simone Rocha, Loewe, and more...

It's Oscars season! And although the entire thing is politics and honestly means little in the scheme of things, it's still fun to watch and keep up with.

Now, Charles is a literal 'Oscars' expert and we always talk about which performances we think should have a nod so we did an episode on it.

We cover the 62d Awards (1989) thru the 73rd Awards (2000) and give our own thoughts (along with dramatic category readings) on the main 6 categories.

Enjoy! 🏆

How did I go my entire life up until this point and not see Casino? Well, you''re in luck because that is the case for both me and Mikey on this episode. We get into our first time thoughts, literally have a fashion panic about the costume design, and find some of the best quotes that we'd like to incorporate in every day life.

143: It's the 90s, plastic surgery is like good grooming. | The First Wives Club (1996) [Patreon Unlocked]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 12:00:00 +0000

There are only a handful of films that I can quote by heart and don't even need to watch to be able to talk about. The First Wives Club, the 1996 sleeper but box office hit is that film for me and my friends Mikey and Charles.

We love this story so much that it has been burned into our brains for most of our adult lives. Throughout the episode we question why a film about divorced women really spoke to us at age 13, which woman we identify with, and just basically quote the entire film.

Go rent , go buy, go watch this film immediately.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 12:00:00 +0000

What started out as a joke and just an idea for a "Razzie" series has now become a full fledged episode on the pod. It has been widely accepted that Batman & Robin from '97 effectively killed the franchise for a number of years. I happen to love Batman Forever and enjoy the campy and comic aspect of the Joel Schumacher versions of the caped crusader.

Batman/Bruce Wayne is my all time favorite superhero so instead of only trashing this version (yes, it really was that bad), me and Mikey decided to see the humor in it and actually come to the realization that we were robbed of a Poison Ivy Multiverse.

YES! We're finally talking one of the most iconic films of the 60s starring the King of Cool, Steve McQueen. Bullitt is one of my cornerstones as a youth because I love cars and this is the most important car chase ever filmed. There are so many behind the scenes technical details on how this story came together, Steve McQueen's quest for authenticity, and driving that brings a tear to my eyes.

Me and Charles also took the time to dive into our recent 'one-star' review for the first 7 minutes...

What can I say about this episode? I had a chat with Troy McEady about literally any and all things pop culture nostalgia. This is an interview I've been chasing for a while so I could activate my reality tv brain with another superfan.

We get into the good ol days of MTV shows and of course the VMAs, Real Housewives and the "old" Bravo, and what we miss about retro reality tv. It's hard to describe a road map of topics but settle in with your tea or coffee and go on a journeyyy.

Enjoy!

Candy is an indie film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish in an intoxicating and harrowing portrait of love and addiction. This is one that has been on my list to talk about since the start of the podcast. Some elements of Candy have really stuck with me.

Me and Jai have a history with this film and we get the dark and sad moments that realistically portray this descent of a relationship. We touch on the beautiful way the story is told, the heartbreaking moments, and the riveting acting from all involved.

Omg I'm so excited the day is finally here that we're reviewing Face/Off. I have a thing for these 90s action films and the crazier the better. What could be more nuts than a facial transplant surgery with little to no recovery time and a hell of a prison escape cat and mouse game?

On this episode me and Charles have Manny along to talk one of the greatest Cage roles ever, Castor Troy. We get into the fashion, try to scientifically break down how this would actually work, and dissect the crazy timeline.

It's the New Year and we're back with more 90s films. This is the interesting part of the the show now because there are still so many essential films from the decade I haven't seen. The Crying Game is one of those films that has been on my list. Charles selected this one and I'm so glad I've finally experienced it.

We get into the Oscars drama that year, all of Dil's fashion, and just how much the transgender community's portrayal in film and television has changed since the 90s.

Gah! This documentary all three of us have been waiting to talk about and break down on the pod. We all have such different connections to this era in music that has stuck with us for the past twenty years. There was sooo much emphasis on The Strokes in this film but also goes into the formation of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, The Moldy Peaches, LCD Soundsystem and more. Aside from what we loved about the era, we talk about some of the artists mentioned that we hated and the odd connection between Julian Casablancas and Courtney Love that def needs a deeper dive on a later episode.

Well...we're here. It's literally Jai's favorite film and she's been on edge waiting until we talked it here on the pod. It has been at least 20 years since I've seen this so it was a weird wild time revisiting it. In my previous watch I had no idea just how incredible the cinematography and production design was. While it's been inspiring creatives since the 70s, there is always something about the original that has to been seen.

While me and Jai had differing views on the film as a whole, we still had a time! We get into the MANY behind the scenes deets, the FASHION, and just the overall weirdness that makes Kubrick a master and visionary of the visual arts.

Wow, what a steamy version of Batman and the gang that I never realized until watching and discussing all these years later. Bruce Wayne and the caped crusader are my all time fav comic hero so I'm jazzed to talk all things Gotham.

Me and Mikey, (my resident comic nerd friend) get all into the controversy surrounding the themes in this film, the amazing casting and alternate choices, and pretty much talk for an hour about how Michelle Pfeiffer is fucking LEGEND.

135: This isn't life. It's just stuff. | American Beauty (1999)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 8 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000

It's time for another staple in the cinematic year of 1999. A year that will go down in history as releasing some of the most culturally relevant films of the modern age.

For this episode we're talking American Beauty by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. This is one of me and Charles' essential 90s films and it was good to really examine all the aspects we enjoyed as teenagers and cringe at what didn't age well at ALL.

We chat about the perfect casting of Wes Bentley, the color red, and the incredible script.

Off-topic rants include: Loveline, lusting after Peter Gallagher, Six Feet Under, Charles' college class on natural disasters, and our favorite year in music

What do you get when you have werewolves, Christina Ricci, Jesse Eisenberg, and Joshua Jackson in an underdeveloped trainwreck of a film? You have a literal 'cursed' movie. It's always more fun to rag on movies that are totally ridiculous in every sense of the word with a cast that you fully enjoy. That's exactly what happened when I showed Charles and Jai this forgotten film of the 2000s.

We talk about the NUMEROUS setbacks, recasting, and just all around problems that lead to this mess.

Off-topic rants include: my first time GOT watch, 9 1/2 Weeks, Judy Greer, and various crashes.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Again, what a weird selection I've made for this October month. This is a film that I doubt anyone has seen but a few out there. Originally titled "Dead Man's Curve", it was the second film in the same year with this weird urban legend roommate scam. I roped Mikey into watching this and pretty much pointing out what we would change or just air our general grievances. On the other hand I never need a reason to watch a Matthew Lillard film.

15:00-19:00 We talk the new American Horror Story season (spoilers)

It's October and we had to talk one of the foundation films of the thriller/horror genre, Psycho (1960) by Alfred Hitchcock. There are so many references to this film throughout history and for good reason. Me, Mikey, and Charles get into the tawdry opening scenario, why we need more story of Marion and her 40k, and try to figure out Norman and his mom issues.

Time to drop into a Sofia Coppola pastel dream world of Marie Antoinette. This film meant so much to me seeing it ages ago that I couldn't believe we hadn't covered it yet.

Jules and Jai are along for this candy pink and blue journey through 18th century France. There are so many points to touch on in this one. We get into the FASHION, the SOUNDTRACK, and why this is our comfort film.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Tue, 4 Oct 2022 21:19:21 +0000

⚔️ It's October and it's vampire season baby! I forgot how much I looove this movie. We're talking Blade, the first film that started the MCU mania that we have today. Not only is Wesley Snipes the best ever, but the fashion, and the Deacon Frost of it all is just...

Me and Mikey of course talk about why we love a vampire story, lots of behind the scenes, the new remake on the horizon, and get all into the blood rave to end all raves.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Well, it's taken us about two years but we are finally diving into the waters of the 90s 'made for TV' movies. It was only right that the first one we reviewed was the cult classic, Mother May I Sleep with Danger?

I was more than excited to get Charles' thoughts as a first time viewer and it was as wild as expected. We get into how the tv landscape changed, the MANY comparisons to the movie 'Fear, and why Tori Spelling is the Queen.

131: Left of the Dial | BBC Seven Ages of Rock [American Alternative]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This episode was first featured on our Patreon!

This is my favorite episode of this seven part series for obvious reasons. It covers Nirvana and also introduced me to a bunch of other bands as well. Featuring one of my favorite people in music, Henry Rollins who gives his takes on the scene in the 80s. We hear from the producers on the construction of the songs, the fame aspect and pressures, and end on a somber note.

Watch the episode: https://bit.ly/3ce8DGa

The rise of alternative rock in the USA. From its early underground days where bands like Black Flag drew inspiration from the DIY ethos of punk, Left Of The Dial traces the history of the network of fans, clubs and fanzines that sustained the scene and launched the careers of bands like R.E.M., The Pixies and Hüsker Dü. The film takes a fresh look at the explosion of the Seattle scene, culminating in the success of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' and the tragic loss of Kurt Cobain, an artist whose triumph and tragedy continues to cast an inescapable shadow.

I made a playlist of the songs featured in the episode: https://spoti.fi/3qJEv9F

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jules Hale, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +0000

What a dark and yet somehow warm indie film. I vaguely remember watching this in high school and thinking it was really dark and mean but still there was something else there I liked. I enlisted Jules, the queen of quirky comedies to review this one with me. We get into sooo many things in the film that couldn't be done now, the hilarious quotes, and compare Dawn's wardrobe to our own childhood fashion.

off-topic rants include: thrift shopping, nerd fashion, childhood crushes

For the next venture into classic cinema we're looking at the origins of the buzz word that everyone talks about, Gaslight. This film from 1944 is a literal masterclass in acting and film noir study. This was one of the first films that introduced me into the old Hollywood world and I'm glad that Charles is with me discussing this brilliant and riveting story. We get into the quirks of this story, the terrifying realism of Charles Boyer's character, and question why they made him so attractive.

Off- topics rants include: other great classic films, Cary Grant, vintage Oscars goss

Oh the depressive nostalgia of your 20s is upon us. Yeah, you guessed it we're talking Garden State. It reads like a 75% memoir of writer/director Zach Braff and literally hit me and Jai right in the feels during our rewatch. There were so many familiar emotions that came rushing back including how this soundtrack defined the 'indie generation' of the early 2000s.

This one I've been looking forward to for a long while. I've got Recho Omondi on the line for a conversation all about the 90s shows we loved growing up, our print fashion magazine origins as teens, and touch on points about fashion today.

I ask all about the story behind her color green signature, evolution of fashion in television, and get into some 'deep cuts' of the 90s from our perspectives.

Enjoy!

It's time to go forward to go back in time as Charles says. For the next 'Back Track' in the series we're talking Alien (1979).

This is my first time watching this and boy was I missing out all these years! I was really into it and I'm so glad Charles decided on this one. We talk about the story and how incredible these special effects are, the steady terrifying pacing throughout, and why Sigourney Weaver is the ultimate final girl in space and time.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This was an intense one. Full of so many emotions and ups and downs throughout. I'm so glad I watched this film with fresh eyes, it has been at least 20 years. I hope more people out there will watch and realize the magic that is, Set It Off from '96.

We get into many different points of this story and how the performances by all four leads should have gotten all the awards. Me and Charles also talk interesting behind the scenes info, I obsess about the fashion, and we get into the social commentary that is still relevant 26 years later.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 10 Jul 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This is one that has been on my list for a while. It's a dicey late 90s film which were popular at the time. Mikey has some interesting thoughts as a first time watcher and for me this has a whole nostalgia factor since it reminds me of high school.

We get into the concept of gossip today and how it's now currency, the moody fashion, and the soundtrack that screams buy me at 'Tower Records'.

Track 1: The Cloak of Invisibility | Pistol Episode 001 [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 3 Jul 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Both me and Jai were so excited that a mini-series was being made about the Sex Pistols. Who else could possibly capture the chaotic spirit and the energy of London in the 70s but Danny Boyle?

All 6 episodes are out now on Hulu (US) but we're just talking the first one for now.

We touch on how perfect this series captures the scene in London, the fashion being on POINT, and the recent comments about the series by Johnny Rotten.

For our episode on the rest of the Pistol series join the Patreon!

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 11:00:00 +0000

CINEMA. That is all. The Birdcage has been one of my favorite films growing up and the only people who could share that emotion are Mikey and Charles. So get ready for tons of impressions, personal stories, and our blind rage at the fact this didn't win all the Oscars in '96.

124: I can't decide if my friends are the best or worst thing that ever happened to me. | The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Within 10 minutes of watching this film I could quote it by heart. It has been at least 10 years since I've seen it and it still has the same effect all these years later. What a refreshing film filled with heartwarming friendships, broken hearts, and one of the best ensemble casts!

Me and Mikey are massive fans and talk our many favorite euphemisms, THAT Jennifer Coolidge cameo, and we play an interesting gam of "Who would you kick out of bed?"

off-topic rants: Queer as Folk, our youth in the nightclubs, first tv crushes

It's like someone took bits from my 17 yr old cynical brain when writing this film. This is my second time watching it and I try to work out why I didn't like it the first time. Jules is the total authority on this film so it has been on the list to review for a while.

We chat about the crazy weird story, why we worship Steve Buscemi, and the FASHION!

off-topic rants: quirk cinema of the 2000s, how I started watching The OC, how Jules is still searching for THAT top in 10 Things I Hate About You, and record collectors

What a film. This is cinema. It was amazing to finally take this in the way it should be. Me and Charles were completely hypnotized for the first 30 minutes and had so many first thoughts. We got into other casting options, the travesty at the 1977 Oscars, the fashion (specifically Betsy), and how this music score was top notch.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 29 May 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Finally we're talking a film from the 90s that created a sub-genre all its own, Pulp Fiction. While you may remember the poster of this film being in every dorm room for 20 years, I remember that iconic Bob from Mia Wallace and the Royale with cheese.

Since Me, Charles, and Jai are big Tarantino fans we had a super blast finally talking this pop culture staple of cinema. We get into the LONG list of actors who tried out for various parts, the subtle but important fashion moments, and I started crying realizing Jack Rabbit Slim's isn't a real place.

Off-topic rants include: the controversy in Charles' life over this soundtrack, parental choices, why I didn't see many 80s movies

Wow. What a film. There really must have been something going on in 1999, because so many great films were released that year. Me and Jai touched on so many aspects that we loved including the cinematography, directing, and every stitch of the fashion. And we talked about that neon swimsuit.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Sun, 15 May 2022 11:00:00 +0000

What a wild ride this movie was! I love the music/record industry storylines of 90s movies. This one was sooo ridiculous and hilarious and made me love Brendan Fraser even more than I already do.

Me and Jules went a bit off the rails with our music biz talk and basically pointing out how everything isn't as easy as getting your single on the radio anymore. We get into the FASHION (yep), the other casting possibilities, and why men need to start wearing crop tops again.

Off-topic rants include: the unspoken rules of submitting demo tapes, the death of the movie soundtrack, and other outlaw rockstars.

Yes, we're finally chatting the sequel to Trainspotting (1996) for our 'Forward Flash' episode!

We had such a blast talking this film, it's probably one of the only sequels that actually holds up to the original and is an utter delight. Me and Jai point out how the characters changed in 20 years and the many nods to the original. The soundtrack, understated fashion, and the update to 'choose life'.

Off-topic rants include: slang, Tom Hanks, "method" acting, and Terminator 2

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Another disturbing film that we both went into not knowing anything about. And we sorta wish it stayed that way. It was through this dark journey we learned all about the underground world of sn*ff films. I basically decided to watch this because of Nicolas Cage and Joaquin Phoenix.

Me and Mikey talk about the darkness of 90s film themes, the fact that Mona May did the costume design, and how people continue to freak us out.

Off-Topic rants include: Mikey's top 3 actors, that A&F documentary, and Batman

Emergency Episode: You'd better hold on tight, spidermonkey... | The Twilight Saga

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Jules Hale, Lauren M Brown) — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 11:00:00 +0000

For some reason about a month ago I decided to watch Twilight and inadvertently watched the whole saga. Now I knew I was definitely late to the game and I wanted to gab about it with my two friends Jules and Charles. This quickly devolved into a pretty unhinged long convo all about our problems with Bella's character, the endless problematic things Edward does, question the reason of Jacob at all, and the bomb soundtracks.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 17 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

No, not that kind of dick. We're talking the Watergate centered comedy from the glorious film year of 1999. This is my first time watching and I'm so glad Charles recommended it for the episode. We didn't know much of the real story but would like to believe that two teenage girls really did break open the case.

Me and Charles got into the MANY fashion looks, hilarious quotes and moments, and marvel over the comedic genius of Kirsten Dunst & Michelle Williams.

Off topic rants include: silly tv fashion, early Project Runway seasons, unwatchable movies, and our own Watergate theories.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Another underrated 90s gem! I remember seeing this film ages ago and watching it again now was even better. Talk about a hilarious story with a great theme and an incredible cast! Me and Mikey talked about our love of Clea Duvall and Natasha Lyonne and how they are responsible for some of the most groundbreaking films of the era.

We get into the story of how Natasha was cast as Megan, the fashion and interiors that are to die for, and why Rupaul playing a counselor is pure CAMP.

Off-topic rants include: why we're stoked for 'Nope', dream cast of a tv version, and the movie landscape of 1999.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Ben West, Suzy, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 3 Apr 2022 11:00:00 +0000

I've got my friend Suzy back along with her husband Ben to talk the 1997 David Fincher film, The Game. We've been talking about doing this episode for a while so I was extra curious to see this film for the first time being a Fincher fan.

This film really offers up more questions than answers. During our discussion we came up with ideas for a series that could work, how this differs from other Fincher films, and how Michael Douglas plays the perfect rich guy whose life gets all the way fucked up.

Off-topic rants include: illusions, rich families, and nepo babies.

Late 90s TV Emergency: Popular Episode 1 (1999)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 11:00:00 +0000

I flew into a late 90s flurry when I saw that episodes of Popular were on Youtube. From the mind of Ryan Murphy in 1999 this is not your typical show about high school. Both me and Mikey are day 1 fans and we talk our history with the show, the evolution of Ryan Murphy, and why Mary Cherry is one of the best tv characters ever.

I hope more people discover this 90s tv gem!

This was an interesting one to review. It's been on my list for a while and I think I literally changed my views on it halfway through.

For both me and Jai hadn't seen it in a while so there we more things we didn't notice before. We get into the 'fiction' but not really of the story, the weirdness of the whole house, and question what scenes truly meant in relation to being "loosely based" on Kurt Cobain

I'm an oldie at heart. It seems like I always want to have been born in an earlier decade. There just had to be a series created for films before 1990. For the first 'Back Track' episode we're talking Rebel Without a Cause from 1955. Starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo this is one of my favorites from the classic Hollywood era. Me and Charles had a ball talking this modern look at 50s teen society.

Some things we discussed are stories from the set, who we would cast nowadays, the infinite layers of this story, and of course the immense acting style of James Dean.

Off-topic rants include: Josh Hartnett, swooning over old Marlon Brando screen tests, and theorize what may have happened to Natalie Wood that fateful night

We waded through the murky waters of the straight to DVD rack to bring you two sequels you maybe never knew about or just plain avoided.

Me and Mikey decided that we would look at these films from a different perspective and ask ourselves, Did these need to be made, and were they really all that bad?

Spoiler alert: they sorta were but we had fun!

Welcome to the Hellmouth | Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam, Mikey Marks) — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 23:51:25 +0000

Growing up one of my all time favorite shows was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We called it "appointment television". I was spending time queuing up my VCR so I could record each episode.

I'm joined by my childhood friends Mikey and Charles who are also super fans. We decided to space out our chats about the seasons since we wanted to give it a proper rewatch. So expect a Season 2 deep dive soon.

For now we just give a starter episode into the world of Buffy, the eventual Scooby gang, and Sunnydale.

Enjoy! ⚰️ 🗡

115: Money Mud. | Camp Nowhere (1994)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jules Hale) — Sun, 6 Mar 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Watching this movie was like cuddling up with a warm blanket. It's one of me and Jules' childhood faves and it was like going back in time seeing this again. There were so many adult takes we had like how this could never work as a storyline now, the pipeline from summer camp to cults, how this 90s kids fashion is literally on point, and how Christopher Lloyd plays the weird and cool uncle we wished we had growing up.

Off-topic rants include: my own sleep away camp story, how there are so many tv shows and films about camp, and I keep giving Jules a list of movies she needs to watch

114: Do you know what it is that we've lived this long the way we have? | Alive (1993)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 12:00:00 +0000

It's hard to even put into words the range of emotions that came over me watching this story and delving into this incredible true story. While based on a true story of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 about a soccer team that crashed in the Andes mountains in 1972, the film was equally as compelling. I couldn't even slightly imagine what this must have been like to go through.

This was Charles' pick as a film so I get into his history with the film and we talk some differences between the true story and the film, some behind the scenes info, and pose other survival situations.

Off-topic rants include: The Donner party, Into Thin Air, climbers, and Josh Lucas

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

We're going full on virus infection mode for the Forward Flash episode this month. It was revealed in a previous episode that I have never seen the 2002 film 28 Days Later and Charles and Jai were horrified. So, I finally saw it and I loved it.

Danny Boyle is just amazing and we found out so much behind the scenes and technical aspects to shooting this film. We list the many reasons we love Cillian, how this story unfolds, and the unexpected fashion we appreciated.

Also, throughout the episode me and Jai tell Charles to start watching Peaky Blinders about 6 times.

Off-topic rants include: what our zombie plans would be, the Olympics, Charles' mom fighting possums, and the state of the Oscars this year

Join us as we celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the podcast!

I somehow managed to get both Jai and Jules to indulge me and watch HOURS of coverage of the 96 VMAs for this episode. We basically scream about the amount of cool things happening in music at the time, hilarious interviews, fashion moments, and how the Smashing Pumpkins literally owned this night.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 6 Feb 2022 12:00:00 +0000

We are finally talking one of my favorite films of the 90s, The Basketball Diaries. Based on the novel by Jim Carroll (which is amazing btw) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his best early performances. There are so many aspects that I love: the location, cinematography, and the voice overs blended into the story. (Movie discussion starts at the 15:00 mark)

Me and Jai get into chatting about Leo in the 90s, the forgotten fashion elements, and obsess about this soundtrack.

Off-topic rants include: Zombie movies, Brad Pitt, our Euphoria fatigue, thoughts on the new series Pam and Tommy, and Tom Hanks.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Tue, 1 Feb 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Well, we're here finally reviewing Showgirls. Some would say it's one of the worst films of the 90s. Up until now I had only seen bits and pieces. I'm here to report that almost 30 years later I can say that I've seen Showgirls. Here we go...

Me and Mikey break down the many reasons why this swept the Razzies that year and ponder what this film could have been with different casting. Throughout the episode we talk the many plot holes, the FASHION, and get into the long list of actresses who auditioned for the role of Nomi Malone.

Off-topic rants include: Leonardo DiCaprio, stripper soundtracks, and Mikey's own experience at an amateur night

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

Groovy! For our Forward Flash we're going back yet again to the NY art world of the 60s. Enter in Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol's 'The Factory'. This is one of my favorite episodes yet because there is so much mystery and intrigue surrounding the life of Edie Sedgwick. Her influence, style, and just overall vibe is something truly to behold. Sienna Miller as Edie and Guy Pearce as Andy is beyond and makes for such a great film.

Me and Jai obsess about the FASHION, try to work out what is true and what was dramatized, and I tell my own story meeting Jude Law (and yes, Sienna Miller was there)

Off-topic rants include: The Beatles, A Clockwork Orange, Marilyn Monroe

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 12:00:00 +0000

This film is one of my favorite Indies of the 90s. I'm honestly shocked when anyone has even heard of it. I probably showed this to all my friends when I rented it back in '98. Starring Robin Tunney (Sarah from The Craft, Deb from Empire Records, duh!) Me and Charles talk the amazing soundtrack, the story logistics, and the actresses who turned down the role of Marcy.

Off-topic rants include: X-Files, celeb gossip, mens hairstyles, and the liability the lawyer from Jurassic Park really had leaving those kids in the car.

Yes, I've got another new co-host for this episode! Join me and my friend Suzy as we talk the romantic comedy and all around sweet film, Benny & Joon (1993).

There are so many aspects of this film that we both hold dear to our childhood hearts. Again, I'm swooning over Johnny Depp being Buster Keaton, the incredible amounts of food talk, how I want to LIVE in this house, and we talk about the warm fuzzy feeling we have by the ending.

Off-topic rants include: climate change, vintage cinema, cheese, general gossip about actors, court trials

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jules Hale, Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 2 Jan 2022 12:00:00 +0000

All three of us were so excited to do this episode. Mainly it's me realizing that the Jagged Little Pill album changed my life is so many ways. Throughout our chat we found more reasons to love Alanis. We cover the nostalgia of it all talking radio rock, the seedy things going on behind the scenes, and why Alanis herself didn't love this portrayal.

off-topic rants include: the current state of the music biz, music festivals, more vintage MTV VMA talk

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Surprise! It's a New Years movie episode. I had never seen Mermaids but heard about the performances by Winona Ryder and the debut of Christina Ricci. Charles suggested it and here we are.

This is a delight of a film and I can't believe more people don't talk about it. Charles talks his deep connection with the film, we get into how the fashion throughout is actually incredible, and all the funny moments and quotes.

Off-topic rants include, Charles' Tinder stories, general gossip, and tv show talk

Forward Flash Episode 016: Michael, I am not addicted to drugs. I am addicted to glamour. | Party Monster (2003) [Patreon Preview]

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

Money. Success. Fame. Glamour.

We're back in the NY club scene about a decade later with the Party Monster story. While we mostly stay on the film track we get detailed about the many documentaries about the true story that more than inspired this tale. There are so many fashion standouts that could be its own episode. The portrayal of Michael Alig and James St. James by Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green deserves all the awards. Me, Charles, and Mikey talk this INSANE story, the uncomfortable accuracies, and question just how the fuck this all happened.

Off-topic rants include: TV shows we're obsessing on, newish Brokeback Mountain news, and tales about Mikey's dog Boss.

"Now it's all about photo placement. So if you're in a group of three always, always, always make sure that you're the one standing on the right because that way when they print the picture you'll be the one on the left. The caption will read "James St. James and bla bla bla" were seen, okay?"

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the world of disco, drugs, and glamour! We're talking the apparent box office bomb, 54 which has become one of my comfort films. Me and Mikey couldn't wait to talk about the vibe of this production and finally we have the Director's Cut that left out so many plot points from the 1998 version. Our main talking points are the MUSIC, of course the 70s fashion, and why the movie studios sometimes mess everything up.

Off but also on topic rants include: real stories from Studio 54, drag queen staple lip synch songs, and we spend A LOT of time talking how Ryan Phillippe had a chokehold on our teenage dreams.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Thu, 9 Dec 2021 01:00:00 +0000

I've always been curious about the life of Brittany Murphy. It just so happens that this is one of the first documentaries I've seen that tries to answer the questions we all have. What Happened, Brittany Murphy?

All three of us talk what we know about her films, discuss her extensive filmography and the subsequent decline when she met her future husband, Simon Monjack. There are so many shocking moments that surprised us all. We get into our issues with the doc as a whole, talk other similar celebrity deaths, and how the film left us all with a sad feeling and even more questions.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 5 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

It's another wild ride with a dark comedy about dysfunctional families. This one happens to be a sleeper with an incredible cast that delivers throughout. I'm in love with Viv who is the living the embodiment of Daria Morgendorffer. Me and Mikey talk our favorite scenes, fashion moments, and why we never wanted this film to end.

Off topic rants include: Target, the Britney Spears 'Chaotic' series, and talking shit on former school mean girls.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Surprise! Since it's a holiday weekend Charles suggested we review a fucked up family on screen. Well, I definitely never expected we would reach quote possibly the most screwed up Thanksgiving film that can ever exist.

Starring indie Queen Parker Posey, Tori Spelling, and Freddie Prinze, Jr?! Say no more. Directed by Mark Waters who later went on to direct a little film called Mean Girls, this writing is just hilarious in the darkest way. This is one of those indie gems and we hope you enjoy this episode!

Off topic rants include: the state of current television, more Real World obsessions, and how the 90s 'movie of the week' themes are HEAVY, and budgeting streaming services.

Witness! God, I love this movie so much. Monster trucks, Tom Hardy, that is all. Why this film didn't win all the awards is beyond me and we talk all about it. Me and Charles go ALL in about how the behind the scenes deserves its own film, the minimal script but impactful story, and why George Miller is living on another planet and we want in.

Off topic rants include: airplane horror stories, why there should be a Guns N Roses biopic, and we dissect a very interesting photo of Tom Hardy drinking a soda in a Five Guys.

I love a good sci-fi dystopian film. It's always spooky season when we're talking about genetic manipulation. Both me and Mikey have never seen this and WOW what a striking film. Visually it's just out of this world and we get into a lot of behind the scenes, architecture, minimalist fashion, and intricate story.

Off but also On topic rants include: cloning, space travel, and re-casting movies for fun.

My So Called Life Episode 001: We did. We had a time. | Pilot (1994) [Patreon Preview]

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sat, 13 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

A preview of what we're doing now over on Patreon!

We're finally HERE! It's time to talk 'My So Called Life' one of my personal favorite TV shows of all time. There is so much to get into and just starting with Pilot we learn so much and try to dissect it all.

In the series premiere we meet Angela Chase, an extremely introspective 15 year old who is grappling with identity and new friendships starting in her sophomore year of high school. She has an interesting family dynamic with parents Patty (ugh) and Graham (who is the best) and little sister Danielle. We also meet Rayanne and Rickie, her new friends that she's keen to explore a different side of life much to the dismay of her former friend Sharon. And we can't forget the introduction of a character who's name needs no explanation...Jordan Catalano.

"Don't you love how he leans?"

So join us every week as we review each episode of a show that can only be described as ahead of it's time and timeless all at once... only on Patreon!

102: I'm made of ink, but I'm no dream. | Cool World (1992)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Peter Lillis, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 7 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

What a film to talk about when I've got a new guest host for the pod! Join me and my buddy Pete as we talk the totally weird but awesome, Cool World (1992) directed by Ralph Bakshi. As you could probably tell, this was originally slated for a 'rated R' release and the script went through multiple rewrites to garner that PG-13 rating.

We get into all the mess behind the scenes, discuss the many possible casting choices, and the kicking' soundtrack.

Off-topic rants include: stoner movies, great movie soundtracks, British sitcoms, and Stanley Kubrick.

101: Watch your heads. | Sleepy Hollow (1999)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0000

It's an unwritten law that you have to talk about Tim Burton during October. Just as I planned it on this Halloween we simply HAD to talk about Sleepy Hollow. Even more surprising Charles had never seen it so his first time viewer perspective was welcome. I on the other had took this as yet another opportunity to talk about Johnny Depp. We get into all the behind the scenes creation, how we love the fashion, and who the true villain of this story really is.

Off topic rants include: MTV's The Real World, 90s 'techie' movies, and what our 'comfort food' tv shows are

100: Think she goes all the way? | Cherry Falls (2000)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 24 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Again, another film I had no idea existed until literally WEEKS ago. Both me and Charles give our first time fresh high level thoughts about Cherry Falls that literally gets better with each watch. Of course who doesn't want to see a slasher film in the mountains of Virginia where virgins are the target. I mean...

In this episode we talk the SUPER weird relationship between Jody and her "dad", the ridiculousness of the story at every turn, and continue to ask the hard questions. Like: what in the actual fuck is going on?

Off topic rants include: our love of celeb gossip podcasts, whether or not I should start a HateWatch series of movies I hate, and the fascinating genre of the 80s and 90s TV movie.

What a new and inventive film concept in a contemporary world that seems riddled with remakes. This one for me was cinematography heavy since I was being such a nerd about it. There were so many different layers to this film and it was the direction, music, and the story that brought it together. Me, Jules, and Jai talk our fav creepiest "It" encounters, the nondescript but cool fashion, and how we're all OBSESSED with the score.

Off topics rants include: why we all want to make a movie, new horror movies, and Jules talks living in an ACTUAL haunted house

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0000

October is here and we're ready for the erotic tales of vampires: Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and the diva of all, Dracula! We talk the Coppola epic tale based on the Bram Stoker novel.

Most of our talk revolves around the costuming (which is out of this WORLD), the many versions of Dracula and vampires in film and tv that we love, and so much behind the scenes.

Off topic rants include: Buffy, why Keanu plays a lawyer CONSTANTLY, and I officially declare that I want to be a vampire.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Mikey Marks) — Sun, 3 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0000

It's October baby and it's time for the scaries! For the first selection this month we're talking Ginger Snaps! I had to get Mikey on the pod since he's my resident 'scary movie' icon.

Starting with this film which at first glance may be considered a werewolf story, but it's SO much more. This Canadian cult film is centered around becoming a woman and all the ways it changes you. Me and Mikey talked so much about the many favorite moments we had, LOTS of behind the scenes, and how The Craft definitely played a part in the inspiration.

Off topic rants include: new horror films coming out, American Horror Story, and why Ryan Murphy needs to write something for Lindsay Lohan.

097: Nice stroke. | Wild Things (1998)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 11:00:00 +0000

There are so many twists and turns that it will give you whiplash in the best way. While most wrote off Wild Things in the 90s as 'that movie with the threesome", it's so much more. Me and Charles get into the Florida of it all, this neo-noir structure, and try to break down the mystery and allure of Denise Richards.

Off topics rants include: chipmunks, the Robert Wagner "mystery", and why the Everglades are a perfect scene for a crime.

YES. Finally we're talking another Larry Clark film here on the podcast. While Bully is hard to watch, it's one of my personal faves.

On this episode we get into the true crime story, lots of behind the scenes details (including where the real people are now), the Clarkisms throughout, and the myriad of reasons why we miss Brad Renfro.

Off topic rants are off the rails as usual and range from grooming habits to why this all was planned at a restaurant style Pizza Hut.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Has anyone ever heard of this film? It's like a map point if you're in the know. Dust off your UFO pants, candy bracelets and glow sticks cause we're going back to the start of the interwebs and the tail end of communicating without cell phones. Immediately this film has the cred cause DIGWEED! Me and Jai talk our own raver stories of the late 90s, the (great at the time but actually awful) fashion, and the MUSIC!

Off topic rants include: what we think of the new Matrix 4 trailer, wanting more raver documentaries, and more celeb gossip only I care about.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 5 Sep 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Wow. We're here. Actually you've brought us here because this film won our instagram poll for next up. It's time to take a deep breath and witness some 'urban horror' on screen. Often listed as a film that you would never want to see twice, I happen to disagree. In order to keep from getting too grim I found lots of behind the scenes and technical notes about the filming itself. The casting was beyond top notch, THAT haunting score, and the subtle fashion in this film that I really enjoyed.

Off topic rants include: me just starting The Walking Dead, Beastie Boys, and tales from Charles' ex-nutritionist, Tammy

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Charles Haslam, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Worlds are colliding! I've got Charles AND Jai together for the first time! In true fashion we are talking the "underground" Tarantino film, Jackie Brown. Pam Grier is life. Pam Grier is EVERYTHING. We talk just how incredible this writing really is, why it wasn't talked about as much as Pulp Fiction, and loving the soundtrack.

Off topic rants include: home invasions, Sylvester Stallone, and the mysterious world of bail bonds people.

We talk Lords of Dogtown, a story about skateboarding in 1970s Southern California. Following the pioneers of the sport at the time: Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva, and Jay Adams. I had so much to say about this one, including wishing I was transported back to Venice Beach in the 70s. Both me and Jai chat about the incredible casting, why director Catherine Hardwicke was perfect, and marvel over the fashion and music throughout.

Off topic rants include: Ben Affleck, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and climate change.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 8 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000

It's Queen Sharon Stone, alright? We just had to. Thankfully neither me or Charles had seen this film before so we give our super fresh impressions. It's based on a French film from 1955 and we talk the. noir adaption throughout this version that is just so groovy. Some of the best fashion in film designed by L'Wren Scott was such a hidden gem to discover!

Off topic rants include: komodo dragons, Titanic, and a conversation I overheard at the bookstore.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Sun, 18 Jul 2021 11:00:00 +0000

It's 1995, grunge is sort of dead but it's still working for movie themes. We finally review Mad Love starring Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell. On this episode we talk the lure of teen romance in 90s films, the logistics of running away from home, and I pretty much drool over all the fashion and the AMAZING soundtrack.

Our off topic rants this episode include: skydiving, ridic 90s theories, and comparisons to the movie Fear.

This one was a bit of a surprise. I give my first time impressions as does Charles seeing it for a second time. The Wachowski's debut feature film was a sleeper but a great crime and heist story. We get into the fashion, this portrayal of a lesbian relationship, and our favorite quotes.

Off topic rants include Christopher Meloni swooning, my love for Gina Gershon, and chats about old films from the 40s and 50s.

Yes, it's here. Me and Charles were beyond excited to talk about this one. This very incident shaped our childhood and we get into it. The first 10 minutes is general upcoming Olympics talk. We get into why this whole scenario is a sports soap opera waiting to happen, the accuracies/dramatizations of the film, and why Allison Janney & Margot Robbie rule.

I'm so glad this was streaming because this film is a literal 90s indie fashion DREAM. Parker Posey is the vibe. Really and truly.

Me and Jai get to the bottom of our favorite looks (there are so many), talk the house music era of the 90s, and talk about the allure of a 90s movie montage only this time with libraries.

Random topics include: what nightlife scenes we would have loved to experience, rave fashion, and for some reason a rant on the perfectness of Cillian Murphy.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam) — Wed, 2 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Talk Hard. This is one of those films that's reached cult status. One of the most poignant and timeless stories of teen emotions, and open thoughts on a pirated radio station. Me and Charles talk about how we're obsessed with Christian Slater, how great the theme is, and the incredible AMAZING soundtrack.

Get ready cause it's time to explore the groovy world of 70s adult films and incredible mid-century modern homes. Me and Mikey were instantly transported back to the 70s resurgence that happened in the 90s. There's a lot of behind the scenes drama, weird casting options, and we get into why we wished this was an NC-17 rating.

This month's journey into the 00s is a return to one of my all time favorite directors, Gregg Araki. While this film deals with trauma and dark themes I was anxious to get Jai's opinion as a first time viewer. We talk the a lot about the production, adaption to the screen from the novel, and the incredible acting throughout.

We're taking it back to the 80s! Even though we're usually in the 90s world we had to pay homage to Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, and Christian Slater in Heathers. This film is piece of fashion in film history as well as being one of the most quotable. We talk our favorites, the insanity of the story, and details behind the scenes.

We were in a bit of a Keanu mood (when are we not though) so we decided to finally talk Point Break. Some of our talking points include why Kathryn Bigelow was the best choice as director, the mysterious world of surfing, and why this film never ages.

Yes, it's time for another rock doc. We take a journey across the pond to see what the music scene was in early 90s England. Enter in Britpop. This episode got somewhat chaotic in a good way. Topics include talking Britpop in the short period of purity, our own love of the genre, and our thoughts on the verbal sparring between Liam and Noel Gallagher.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

This episode felt like a mind melting session. Me and Mikey talk the impact this film still has today in all areas of culture. We examine some interesting casting possibilities, the fashion, and constantly question our own realities.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Charles Haslam, Mike Marks) — Sun, 4 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000

This is one of the most classic films of the 90s. Let's face it we all think dinosaurs are cool. Maybe not so cool if we're thrown together with them in a theme park from hell situation.

Charles gives us a science lesson with his extensive knowledge of the book and the differences from the animals in the film and what scientists know now. We get into the intense sound mixing that created each dino growl, and me and Mike ask all the questions like...how did this even happen? Were these selfish adults? Is Hammond a super villain? Why does it hold up so well after all this time?

info@fashiongrunge.com (Charles Haslam, Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The 90s nostalgia was heavy with this one. It's like being transported back the world of high school friends, summers in parks, and general hanging out before the days of social media.

This so happens to star the life of Soleil Moon Frye from child actor to teen years with famous friends along the way.

Me, Charles and Mikey talk about this film, our lives in the 90s, and gossip about all these 90s celebs in their youth.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000

This film was ALOT. I quickly remembered why I bought this DVD at a video store closing shop ages ago for less than $5. There were so many aspects of this film we forgot about since our recent rewatch. We get into the confusing tone of the story, an undiscovered fashion icon in Michelle Forbes, and literally wonder where this 9 mil budget went.

Off topic rants include bitching about Vogue, stars that aged well, and recent celeb gossip.

Does anyone truly know what this film is about? The beauty of this film from 2001 is that it really gets more involved with each viewing. I randomly spend the first 5 minutes trying to convert Jules into a Ryan Gosling stan, discuss how every film deserves a director's cut, and we piece all the perfect elements of this story together.

Send us a tweet if you also own the Donnie Darko: Director's Cut 'cause I mean you have to at this point.

Well...this was steamy and A LOT. We've waded through the murky waters of erotic thrillers of the 90s. Capping it off with the Sharon Stone & Billy Baldwin film, Sliver. It paid off for us to get this complete Cinemax after dark film. While we continue to be jealous of Sharon Stone, our thirst level for Billy Baldwin is at an all time HIGH. Our apologies in advance.

Me and Charles really got our fill of an erotic tale with this one. Outside of the complicated story, we worship at the altar of Sharon Stone. We get into the behind the scenes drama, sociopaths, and why apparently no one in this movie has heard of an ice tray.

This is one of those overlooked 90s sleeper films. While it may be known as an early Angelina Jolie film it's actually so much more. We dissect this multi-layered story about complex female friendship, self-worth, and we share our own stories along the way.

Yes, I'm well aware that this is not in the usual vein of films we cover here. Long story short I had never seen it and neither did Charles.

We managed to get severely off track and profess our love for Taco Bell. Other topics included this wild story, who the story was originally meant for, and why we felt cheated out of a Robert Redford love scene.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 13:00:00 +0000

This one was a weird one to talk about. We talk about the historical inaccuracies in the film, the themes, and the fact that Gary Oldman's portrayal saved it all.

Wow what a blast from the past! We talk one of our favorite childhood films about the complexities of imaginary friends. When you look past the slapstick comedy this story is actually pretty dark and we get into it.

We talk one of the most visually iconic films of the 90s. It's one of Jai's faves and I'm seeing it for a second time. During the episode Jai is vexed on my feelings about Natalie Portman, we examine problematic themes by 2021 standards, and break down how incredible this styling and cinematography is to the story.

On our journey into the somewhat departure of 90s films (wait did that make sense) we talk the time travel, relationship history bending world of Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman.

It's been a while since either one of us had seen Eternal Sunshine through a more mature eye, and it's still as great as it ever was. We veer a little off track hammering our distain for Wes Anderson kitsch and why this is better, real life couple fights, and realize Kirsten Dunst also has an incredible performance that we overlooked in the past.

Me and Jules talk this late 90s gem of a fantasy reunion experience. We fawn all over the fashion (Mona May forever) and get into our favorite scenes, music, and all the hilarious moments!

I'm so mad at myself for not knowing how awesome this film is until now. This one was Mikey's pick and I'm so glad he chose this one. I'm obsessed with the outfits throughout and not to mention the bitchin soundtrack put together by none other than Courtney Love.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown, Jai Lescieur) — Wed, 2 Dec 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Told in 15 celluloid fragments examining gay alienated youth of LA in the 90s.

I was eager to hear Jai's first time thoughts as a newcomer to his early work and I give my review as a longtime Araki lover. We discuss how times have changed in both the good and bad ways. It's such an important film almost 30 years later with the language of the West Coast and the birth of a new genre.

This is one of those random films that you may have never heard of but it's definitely worth a watch. Me and Mikey talk about how Reese was such a 90s bad girl and why we're dying to see her in another role like this soon. Part 'Little Red Riding Hood' and road film, it's a wild hilarious ride.

Wow, this was my first time seeing this film!

While I'm late to the game, Jai has seen it many times. Listen to my hot takes as a first time viewer and why it took me 20 years to see it. The mystique of Penny Lane, the soundtrack, and why we wish we experienced the 70s are some of our many talking points.

For our actual Halloween episode we had to review this suuuper 90s version of the Michael Myers saga.

There are so many aspects of this film we overlooked as teens. We get into the insane timeline of the series, why this Josh Hartnett film debut is really something, and how Jamie Lee Curtis will always be our original scream queen.

While we are all immense fans of the 90s tv show, we examined the story where it all started. From drama on the set to the complete campiness of the story, we get into it all. The 90s valley girl slang is unmatched in this one and we try to make sense of it all.

If only I could have lived in this apartment building in 1992. It was Jai's first time watching this semi-commercial take on a rom-com of the "grunge" era and I revisited it for the millionth time.

One weekend that lasts a lifetime. Me and Charles had such a blast discussing this one. To think this all took place in three days is wild.

We talk the wild ways of the road (ahem, Brad Pitt), trade our own stories, and map out what we would do in this situation.

The cult film that launched a thousand dorm room posters. There was so much to discuss about the film and we tried to fit it in a super long episode. We talk the impact of this film 20 years later, the vibes of Fincher, and the fashion is just out this world amazing.

It's rare that we like a sequel. Let's face it, they usually don't live up to the hype. Now while this isn't quite Scream from 96, it's actually not bad.

Mikey gives his high level thoughts as a horror movie aficionado and I talk about about much this film still freaks me out.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, this 90s nod to Invasion of the Body Snatchers coupled with teenagers general skepticism of high school faculty is more terrifying than I remember.

Featuring an all-star cast and pretty dark script me and Mikey break down the many character personalities, out of this world story, and what was up with Josh Hartnett's hair.

Before there was Mean Girls, there was Courtney Shane. Such an iconic film that totally perfected the slow motion hallway strut. With fashion can only be described as a late 90s technicolor acid trip.

Enjoy this fun episode, we sure did!

Described in the 90s as a teen "Fatal Attraction", that is definitely the perfect description. In a story that is just as believable as it is realistic, it's one of the early performances of Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg. We talk their careers after this point and the overall post-grungy Seattle vibe lurking in the mood of the flim.

We're talking the second installment of Gregg Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, The Doom Generation. Starring Rose McGowan, James Duval, and Johnathon Schaech.

This film is one of my teenage classics so hear it from my view and Jai as a first time viewer. We get into the complete absurdity of the story, the incredible mid 90s LA fashion, and how no one does a soundtrack like Gregg Araki.

017: Nice welt, sweetie. | Scream (1996)

info@fashiongrunge.com (Mikey Marks, Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 17:30:32 +0000

The blueprint by which all 90s slasher films were made. The amount of hours I spent watching this film in friends' basements and being scared when the phone rang. Yes, the landline.

Me and Mikey are full on obsessed with Scream. We're equally obsessed with our Queen Drew Barrymore in one of the most riveting horror opening scenes ever. We talk it ALL.

Our first departure from the film reviews, but a conversation on current news and events was needed. Things have reached a fever pitch across the world and we're on the precipice of change.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

On the last half of the episode I (Lauren) talk about the documentary, Afro-Punk (2003) documenting the black experience in the punk scene.

This movie is one of my faves in the late 90s teen thriller genre. We break down the music and fashion among other things. Enjoy our deep dive of the behind the scenes mess and why there were so many versions of the film before release.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Lauren M Brown) — Sun, 17 May 2020 13:00:04 +0000

Dueling reviews keep things interesting. While we can agree that the fashion (that was dope) and music (legendary) are incredible, we both saw this film in different ways. How well does this age over 20 years later? We talk about it.

The rave scene of the late 90s was definitely something to experience. I have my friend Mikey with me on this episode to chat about the film we first saw in high school and what our rewatch 20 years later was like.

Enjoy!

As someone who loves Reality Bites so much it was great to hear about it from Jai who just saw it for the first time.

We talk the amazing funny moments, Big Gulps, and how swoony 90s Ethan Hawke is.

info@fashiongrunge.com (Jai Lescieur, Lauren M Brown) — Fri, 3 Apr 2020 06:52:20 +0000

In 1996 the classic Shakespeare play, Romeo + Juliet was adapted for the "MTV Generation" by Baz Luhrmann and it totally worked. An unforgettable soundtrack, cast, and location really breathed new life into a story we know so well.

We had a really exciting time talking about this one.
