091: Go, if it's too much for you to handle. | Mad Love (1995)

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. --- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

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.--- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Charles @charleshaslam Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

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.--- Get BONUS episodes on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod , Twitter @fgrungepod

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.

070: Have I ever told you I love you? | Indecent Proposal (1993)

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.--- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamIntro & Outro music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod

You may be wondering why we're covering Batman Forever? Well, it's my fav Batman film and that's why. I have such vivid memories of seeing this in '95. Me and Mikey get into the amazing costumes, the many villains in Gotham world, Jim Carrey being awesome, and why Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne is sort of sociopathic like Patrick Bateman.Oh, and check out Mikey's new podcast, ChipzN'Dish --- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Intro & Outro music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

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.--- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamIntro & Outro music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com

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.Link to the full film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/H-e6psXwP4Y--- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrungeGIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactoryIntro & Outro music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com
