Charles picked this one and I completely forgot how this film descends into literal chaos at the end.

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---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!

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

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.

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.off-topic rants: current MCU & DCU news, Mad TV, 90s McDonalds Toys--- Get OVER 90 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!

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/3ce8DGaThe 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----Get OVER 70 BONUS episodes on 90s & 00s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more movies...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeHosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactoryFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

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.

Both me and Jai were so excited that a mini-series was being made about the Sex Pistols.
