Haute Set – Details, episodes & analysis

Prepare for an epic battle, and not between Peter Pan and Captain Hook! Ariel loves this movie and holds it very dear, Melinda hates this movie and thinks it's an emotional betrayal of the Peter Pan story. But because we don't shy away from Important Issues, we bring the debate to you. What they can agree on: the costumes are great.

Get ready for the emotional gauntlet that is back to back tragedies. But who better to lead you through it than Baz Luhrmann, the man who invented feelings. Melinda and Ariel marvel at the sumptuous worlds of these movies and the masterful designers who brought them to life. The greatest thing we ever learned, is just to love, and be loved in return.

The Matrix has you...and us. We're fangirling out on this episode, sorry not sorry. What can you expect from good honest millennial nerds? We tried to look at it with fresh eyes, don't know that we totally succeeded there. There are some moments of background noise, we asked for a clean program to run this recording but it doesn't always work out that way. Follow the white rabbit.

Back at it with Episode 5, with all the mean girls of Middle Earth. All the dirty tricks are coming out this episode and we are looking forward to where the story is going. We haven't done the reading so we are just along for the ride.

This episode is a pretzel of various lines of thinking all twisting around each other, aka fitting for a time travel movie. We love the future fashion predictions and seeing characters at different life and fashion stages. And justice for poor Jennifer, they did her so dirty in this movie. We discuss trivia from IMDB and again take it for gospel fact because we didn't look anywhere else. Jump in the car for this journey, but try not to get chloroformed.

Pals, this is not Star Wars ok? It's totally unique and (for legal reasons)  any similarities to other events in a galaxy far, far away are purely coincidental. Besides, this movie has enough going on that you won't be sad. We've got a lot of alien attire to cover from terrifying robot dogs, multi-faced singers, polyester medieval costumes, and of course a lot of sweaty faces because this is the 70's.
