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.Watch the music videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBOB4Hahu9llH-Gw2dGTjWMiiGt0_I4T1&si=M0-mgRBOJCaV85HY on Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dZ1Pt0xNpCY82KoJUzXIn?si=a38090cbad2e40bb--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Host: Lauren @lauren_melanie Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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! ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guests: Ashley @Letterboxd & Britney @Letterboxd of Black Girl Film Club @blackgirlfilmclubHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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.  Watch the movie: https://youtu.be/2EbTXn9yf-8?si=A44Unq775_M-LqULOff-topic rants include: proper wildlife identification, forestry, and runaway teen protocol --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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 Race0:00- 08:40 chit chat/ awards season hypeLA Times Article (October 30, 1996)--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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. *first on Patreon December 6, 2023---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007 & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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!

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.---GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE to the main Fashion Grunge Podcast feed on  (mostly) 90s films!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactoryFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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! --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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 --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jules @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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.

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.

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.--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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!

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.--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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.

*this episode first appeared on PatreonIt'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.

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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 --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory   & Jules @imdenmate Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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! --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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 --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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.--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007 Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007 Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod 

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. ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

For the full episode join the Patreon! [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]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---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

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 E!

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---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

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.*premiered on Patreon Dec 31, 2022---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!
