WHY'D THEY WEAR THAT? – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Clinton Kelly and Stacy London rewatch Poltergeist with a totally different lens: the fashion. From JoBeth Williams’ suburban mom looks to Tangina’s ghostly dress, awkward school uniforms, prairie skirts, popcorn sweaters, and some truly chaotic styling choices, they break down the most memorable outfits from the movie one look at a time. 

Along the way, they revisit one of their favorite movies, quote iconic scenes, argue over what works and what absolutely does not, and ask the only question that really matters: why’d they wear that?
