The power of the color pink is in full force here! These movies are about the same thing; how you dress will determine how people see you and what they think you're capable of. And you better own it. The early 00's were a wild time in Girl World, and not just because of the crazy fashion trends.
But we're inviting you to sit with us for this episode. And we don't do that a lot, so you should know that this is, like, a really big deal. This is gonna be exactly like senior year, except for funner!

Friends, this one was a bit FRAUGHT. While as kids we loved and delighted in the adventures of Mr. Henry Jones Jr (alias Indiana Jones) it's hard to ignore...so much in these movies. Join us for an unmoored traipse through the original trilogy with only a brief cameo by Temple of Doom because you know why. We don't really need to say it.
This is about as un-researched as it gets. And in that way we have upheld our promise to you.

The American high school experience is so universal, even Shakespeare wrote about it. Or is it the other way around? There's only one way to find out! This movie delivers all the best fashion looks you could ever want from 1999. It was the age of limited hair/makeup skills but limitless personal style and confidence. Where do you fall on the princess -- shrew spectrum?

We all know why this was such a formative movie for a lot of people, do we really have to spell it out? Beyond the beautiful (H O T) and charming cast, there is sadly a lot to unpack here regarding colonization, culture appropriation, and exoticization in Hollywood. And we examine how our education system set us up to recognize and question none of this at all. But at least we got to dress up like Roman Senators and Cave Men at school! Join us in the sandy snow globe that is this tale of adventure.

We're processing the rise of fascism in real time here folks. This episode may not be what you need right now! At all! But we needed to do it in order to move forward with why we are making this show. Join us if you feel up to it.
And we still are talking about movies here- and only kind of talking about costumes. We cover the movies that taught millennials how to fight fascism. Ariel selected V for Vendetta and Melinda selected The Truman Show. Honorable mentions (and mild spoilers for) The Hunger Games, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Dick.
Our regularly scheduled programming will continue next week when we get back on track with The Mummy. For now, take care of yourselves, take care of your people, and take care of your vegetable gardens. Time to batten down the hatches.

**This episode was recorded before the US Presidential Election, that's why we sound happy**
Come One, Come All! Capitalist Queens and Warriors fighting The Man! 1995 had something for everyone. We are watching important movies that established teen culture and gave us fashion icons to aspire to. These kids were so cool and had it all figured out. In retrospect, they are babies! Mere children. However, the clothes are timeless. Dust off those plaid miniskirts and grab your combat boots or your jimmy choos!

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.

We kick off Season 2 with Ever After because this movie was massively formative for both of us. And I hope it has a special place in your heart too. If not, we invite you to check it out and embrace the magic. Don't we all want to live in a world where Leonardo da Vinci is our fairy godmother? Where the handsome prince is a bit of a himbo and you can help him discover the concept of Human Rights? The Brothers Grimm really screwed this story up in their book, fortunately Drew Barrymore is here to set the record straight. What's that phrase you always use? Ah yes...Once Upon A Time...

Ariel and Melinda reflect on their miniature costume recreations from the show. Which they totally finished on time and they are not feverishly trying to complete (!) They each picked one costume from Rings of Power and recreated the design on a mini scale model form. There was so much embroidery, beading, and block printing, oh my! And it added an extra layer to their respect for professional artists who do this work all day everyday. Listen in to hear all about it

Season 2 will be focusing on the movies that shaped the taste and aesthetics of the millennial generation. Ariel and Melinda will be focusing on those films that are near and dear to their hearts (namely these 2 millennials in particular (Hi!)) We have each developed what we consider to be essential viewing for this generation we will be comparing, contrasting, and sometimes strongly contrasting. Please join us for another season full of feelings and light on facts.

We chat about where the season is leaving us and appreciate all the distressing that we get to see in this episode, along with a couple new costume reveals. We will be back next week with any final thoughts and to talk about our miniature costumes that we have been building as we watch. Stay safe out there.

Do not, my friends, become too addicted to movies. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
Grab your guzzoline and fire up those engines, we are on a one-way road straight into the wasteland this week. We are talking all things gross and grimy in Fury Road and absolutely singing the praises of the costume and makeup teams on this movie. We couldn't think of a better way to finish 100 years of Sci Fi than this. We shall join you in the halls of Valhalla, witness me!

We did it! A whole episode about Star Trek! We delve into JJ Abrams take on creating a new Star Trek timeline and how a 21st century eye influenced the costumes, and what stayed true to the original. This is uniform talk from top to bottom. So beam on up, we are about to hit warp speed. Also- which original crew member are you most like?

Welcome to an unfiltered conversation (verging on rant) about people disregarding all the work that goes into the costumes in this show. Ariel and Melinda are sick of the opinions disguised as fact in conversations online. It's also unfiltered because we were contending with construction noise and cat activity. Consider yourself warned and consider the entire internet on notice.

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.
