Fashion Grunge Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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

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

We're almost at the end of our summer journey in Love Island land. It's been so fun and I've loved recapping this season. I get into the heart rate challenge, Jana and Kenny hideaway (finally), and how this is probably my fave top 4 ever (minus Kendall and Nicole). 

I'll be back next Saturday with a finals recap and any post-Love Island gossip I can dig up!

What a good chill movie vibe to start the week. I'm always down to watch a Richard Linklater film and escape into his world. Me and Charles talked some of our own favorite growing up moments, the unexpected fashion we loved, and why we love the 90s slacker genre.

Off-topic rants: The Last of Us, Carson Daly, the Independent Spirit Awards

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

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...

off-topic rants include: Oscar fever, Tom Cruise, and Pedro Pascal

It's time for another movie that was one of the most important films to me growing up. Not only did I watch this all the time, I get the chance to explore it as an adult. I enlisted Jai and Charles who weren't as familiar with this emotional story starring Joseph Mazzello and Brad Renfro. 

We get into our Oscar rage yet again, casting choices, frogs, Letterboxd

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.

Off-topic include: the concept of gatekeeping, Beverly Hills 90210, early 2000s fashion

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.
