Man, I love a Hitchcock film. There are few directors that give me chills in the best way and he is one of them. As a master of suspense, tension building, and incredible casting there is nothing better in a classic murder mystery story. These are just some of the brilliant aspects of his filmmaking that we still study today.
My first watch was when I was super young thanks to my mom. This is one of those stories that has become a comfort film to me now in my adulthood. Adapted from a play, Dial M for Murder mainly takes place inside the apartment of Tony and Margot Wendice and as the story unfolds it's exciting from moment to moment.
Me and Charles love the classics, including Ray Milland (woof) and the etherial and later royal Grace Kelly. We talk the behind the scenes. drama and other casting options, how the fashion came together, and questioned how this whole thing could have been solved by having a keychain on your latch key.
Off-topic rants include: Oscars rage segment, the Back to the Future series, scandalous old Hollywood movie themes, and we have a grasshopper interruption about 33 mins in

Since Charles has been waiting 30 years to see this film I had fairly reasonable expectations. Thankfully this film you can find on YouTube, but that's about the only place you'll see it. You would think in 1993 a film starring Jason Priestley of 90210 fame involving a road trip to Hollywood would be a smash. Welp, that didn't happen.
Most of the time we had no idea what was going on, but we examined this one with today's lens and yikes. We get into why Jerry O'Connell plays the same role over and over, the 60s clothes, and the weirdness of Hollywood 'stalking' Marilyn Monroe in media.
Off-topic rants include: Big Brother and The Challenge, Alessandro Nivola, Glen Powell's time to shine, and movies we wanted to walk out of.

Another guest in the house for a trip back to the 90s with our patron saint of the 'TV Movie' , Tori Spelling in Death of a Cheerleader (1994).
This was a more complicated story than we originally thought. We didn't end up loving the movie version and how they essentially manipulated us in the end, but the acting performances were pretty stellar. This includes another batch of hilarious Letterboxd reviews.
We get into why we were shocked that the story devolved the way it did, the pretty realistic but impressive fashion, and some interesting cameos.

Yes, Jai is back here on the pod to talk the recent happenings in fashion but basically we dish some hot topics then straight into our Met Gala recap.
We first discuss the status of Hedi Slimane at LVMH, Susie Bubble at System Magazine and our fave mid 2000s bloggers, Law Roach on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast, and then our hits and misses when it comes to the Met looks. Who was and wasn't on theme, why so much Galliano, some menswear we enjoyed.

Wait so nobody told me how iconic this movie actually is. I have seen Queen of the Damned or parts of it so long ago that I basically haven't seen it. OMG.
I mean disregard the weird storylines and you have a (dope) 90 minute nu-metal music video with a vampire b-story...awesome.
Since it's October and in keeping with the spooky mood we have to talk vampires. Me and Jules had literally the best time talking about this film and discovering all these amazing behind the scenes facts. For the hour we basically complain that there wasn't more Aaliyah (RIP Forever), wish we could pull off these costumes, and talk about how Twilight toootallly was biting the style years later.
Off-topic rants: the Aaliyah and Trent Reznor connection, why me and Jules have to produce a nu-metal documentary,

It's rare that an actor inhabits a role so much that even the people closest to the real Jim Morrison were confused on whether or not it was really him. In the 1991 film by Oliver Stone Val Kilmer became the legendary lead singer of The Doors.
I was ultra stoked to talk about this film because I have a real life super fan of The Doors along for the ride, Jai! We talked about the real story of the band, the conspiracy theories, and wonder why Meg Ryan was cast as Pamela.

It's time for another interview series! I've been a student of Meghan's through her insightful TikTok, and I knew that I had to talk to her about being in the epicenter of what became known as 'grunge' in Seattle in the late 80s/90s. We had a time and covered so much ground.
Some of the points we chat about include: indie record culture, the death of paper concert tickets, working the famous Nirvana in-store show, and moving to Palm Springs, CA and opening a vintage store. I found out what it's really like to go viral online, views on fashion TikTok and IG, sustainability in fashion, and cap it off with a Henry Rollins anecdote.
Enjoy! 🎸👖

Finally, after our technical snafus here is the episode on Annie Hall. This has been on the list for both me and Charles since the start of this podcast. During our teenage years we both saw Annie Hall and the filming structure and humor was nothing we had ever seen before.
Diane Keaton is a breath of fresh air in this captivating titular character that inspires the fashion industry almost 40 years later. Me and Charles basically quote the entire film and point out the details in cinematography that were so modern for the time and even now few filmmakers master.
off-topic rants: male TikTok thirst traps, Jaws, Oscars history minute

Yet another time for me to exercise my reality tv brain and who better than Kara Berry?
I'm a superfan of her Bravo recaps each week on Everyone's Business (but mine) Podcast so I couldn't wait to find out where it all started. We get into Real World seasons being the lead in and where we fall now.
around 26:00 is the Bravo chat including RHOC being our gateway, forgotten Bravo shows we need released from the vault, thoughts on RHOA, Summer House, Vanderpump Rules, and why Kelly Cutrone needs to be on the new RHONY

Yes, it's finally here. The day we are talking the 1991 hit and fashion foundational film, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. It's been a long time coming since this is my first official complete watch ( I know I'm ashamed, don't talk to me). Charles tells the story about how this is one of the building blocks of his film education, and for good reason.
I get into why no one told me me there was a c***y version of Mulder and Scully, why Rose Lindsey is best feminist icon, and just how worthless the rest of this family is besides Swell. Also touching on the scary realities of the corporate world, the feeling when you first discover 'petty cash', and the similarities to 'The Hills'.
Off-topic rants include: office horror stories, Drag Race, my first time viewing of Chinatown, early Project Runway

It's that time again! Dusting off one of our early episodes for a remix edition! We're going back to Salt Lake City, Utah in the mid 80s to see what Stevo and Heroin Bob are up to. I really need no excuse to talk about this film again. Our first episode was during the pandemic so it's high time that I review one of my 'foundational' films again.
Mikey joined me on this one to talk about our love for Matthew Lillard, the outlandish and amazing fashion, and the countless hilarious scenes and characters we meet along the way.
Off-topic rants include: more Scream talk, a brief chat on the Mod subculture, how Showgirls really is one of the best films of the 90s
Listen to our first episode on SLC Punk!

It's been a time but Jai is back with me to talk about the hot topics in fashion. We were going to do a runway collection review but there are so many news topics to chat about instead. Basically we talk on the phone about this anyway so why not have another random chit chat fashion episode?
We get into our thoughts on current fashion journalism, what's next for i-D and Nylon magazines, Alessandro Michele at Valentino, Dries leaving, and tons more
Enjoy!

What is it about Christian Slater? He has the charm to basically almost carry anything. Well, Kuffs is a little known action comedy from 1992 that only really survives because of the magic of our lead character. Charles picked this one and it was a light refresher into why the 90s had such a diverse group of film genres.
We talk about the unexpected fashion we loved, just wonder what the hell this script was about, and take a look at the recent work of Slater and why this movie would have made a fun tv series.
Off-topic rants include: my GOT watching progress, Real World: Hawaii, and I ask Charles whether or not I should start watching Scandal

Vroom! I’m here on another solo adventure to talk about one of my foundational films, Gone in 60 Seconds. For me this movie had it all. An incredible cast, LA streets, and the CARS!
For this episode I talk about my own history with loving cars, Angelina Jolie as Sway being the blueprint, and why Nic Cage will always reign supreme.
Off-topic rants: my thoughts on the recent Crow trailer, comparisons to The Fast and The Furious, nu-metal and the importance of a driving soundtrack

Well, welcome to the circus. Or otherwise known as one of the darkest, most fucked up, brilliant show from the early 00s called Nip/Tuck. At first anything around surgery was like a definite no but in college I got sucked in.
Me and Mikey are suckers for shows like this and loved going back to just the pilot episode. We try to keep it pretty spoiler free in case you haven't seen the show but OMG. We get into Kimber's introduction, why we are annoyed with Julia, how Sean is such a bore in the start, Matt being like a red flag, and Christian continuing to be best part of the show.

OK, this was super chaotic and me and Jules basically went rogue and talked about random topics for over an hour...
We get into our current Love is Blind thoughts, the memes of the Willy Wonka Experience, create our own internet family (Daddy, Mother, and babygirl), and we get into the weeds of Hollywood and the current state of the heartthrob actor.

This is the perfect example of 'never leave the house' and 'don't go descenting into unknown cave systems'. I wasn't sure what film to do so again I asked Charles for another suggestion. I have no idea what I did to deserve this because I literally sat cowering in fear in broad daylight watching this. Not only did it build masterful tension and take me on a journey I couldn't expect, but it broke barriers with an all female cast creating a horror film through spelunking and cave exploration.
Me and Charles get into why we are immediately reminded of Blair Witch and Buffy throughout, how you can't trust anyone, and why you should also always have a backup map in case someone kicks in a river or leaves it in a CAR.

Finally I've stepped into the world of David Cronenberg films. It really is fitting that the first one I see and review is Crash from 1996. It was both me and Charles' first watch and we were enthralled. The exploration of subcultures I always find fascinating and this certain was that. We talk about the physical reactions to car crashes, how James Spader is THAT one, and constantly remind you that it's not the same film as that abomination that won Best Picture in 2004.
off-topic rants include: who we would like to see in the film now, Christopher Meloni, Coen films, the history of NC-17 movies

This was a first watch for both me and Jules. Objectively it's no Oscar winner but when you see it for what it is, there was something there. The casting was incredible and Tara Reid basically stole the show.
We get into the realistic fashion, so many quotes we loved, a real-time deep dive on the director (eek), and just how this story was unbelievable and infuriating at times.
Off-topic rants include: ghost rom-com casting, 'losing your V card' as a movie genre, our first musician crushes

What a wild ride! I get to unlock the side of my reality tv brain and have a chat with Emilie and Margaux of Old Millennials Podcast about our history with the genre.
I can't even begin to tell you everything we talked about but lets just say we talked about Tyra Banks fainting on ANTM, fashion adjacent reality shows, MTV reality that raised us, Bravo a plenty, including our thoughts on the new Vanderpump Rules season, and soo much more!
