Fashion Grunge Podcast

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT!  It's almost a tradition at this point to have Kendrick of the I Ken Not Podcast during Love Island season. For the third year in a row we're talking our current thoughts on Season 8 and just how that's holding up. It's the last week and we're talking the couples standings and twists like Kayda's trajectory, what's happening with Melanie, and our predictions on what should hap...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT! My head is spinning and that's to be expected with this last home stretch of Season 8. I'm at the point where I'm done and confused by so many choices these Islanders are making. Ashley continues her run on the pod to talk about our recent Kayda developments, the state of the current couples,  and age old question of "Is this a relationship or a situationship?" -- Get BONUS ep...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT! Oh, Sweet Lord things are heating up in the Villa and we're back again to break down Week 4.

While this is a difficult film. to watch it has been on my list since I started the podcast. Mainly because it features Chloe Sevingy's only Oscar nominated performance (which is crazy). I've got Charles and Mikey with me to discuss this tragic true story of the life of Brandon Teena in early 90s Nebraska as a trans-man.  We talk about some of the actors who were previously thought of for the role...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT! It's time for Casa Amor in the USA Villa. Ashley is back on the pod and we're talking the diabolical transition this year, KC and Corbin's toxic ass friendship, and the girls needing to bring men back to the Villa for once!  -- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show joi...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT! Oh it's a whole horny mess up here in the Villa. It's Week 2 and we're just settling into these couples.

You know it was coming and this season I've got Ashley here from the start of the season and we get all into the premiere of Season 8 of USA.

It's been a whole mess since this Summer House thing popped off. Finally we get the payoff as the reunion has just started to air.

This is a special episode because this is my fresh, hot, and first watch of Beetlejuice. Yes, you read that right. I am a child of the 80s and somehow I have skated through life without seeing this movie. In the episode I explain how and why. Since it's October spooky season, Mikey is along for the ride as an expert in all things scary and/or comedy. I'm here to report that I loved it and I sincer...

It's been a minute! You know I'm still deep and plugged into this Summer House drama so I get into that.

We're finally back in the world of 90s movies with Postcards from the Edge (1990)! This one has been on my list forever and I'm so miffed at myself for not seeing it sooner. Charles is back on the pod to chat this one with me. We get into how Meryl is basically good at EVERYTHING, how it's a crime that Shirley MacLaine didn't win the Oscar, and the amazing 'Stevie Nicks in the early 90s fashion'. ...

I swear we take 2 weeks off from talking Bravo and the whole Summer House scandal has moved miles and mountains since we last checked in. Now I was going to record a rageful episode last week but good thing I didn't cause now Callum is here to break down the latest bird behavior from "those two". We're talking that bold and insane baseball game PDA, the odd male dynamics in the house, and then cap...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] This is one of those films that hits you like a ton of 'bricks' (ha). When I first saw the trailer on a "Focus Features" DVD I knew this was one that I had to see. In Rian Johnson's directorial debut, this modern film noir weaves quite a knot that slowly unties throughout the course of the story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries every...

If you're a Bravo-head you know exactly what the deal is. Another scandal has popped off in the universe and this time it revolves around Summer House? The 'Summer should be fun!" show? Needless to say me and Callum are breaking down our thoughts on this whole new revelation.  --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and mor...

This is becoming a thing. So Callum is back on the pod and we're going deep on the new Beverly Hills Housewives so far. We ended up diving into the dark layers beneath this quiet season.  Also touching on the recent news of the Kandi/Todd divorce settlement,  thoughts on Summer House (so far), and some bits on the Potomac ladies. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So...

Jules is back on the pod for another episode talking music and things! We get into our sheer anticipation of the Courtney Love documentary, our artist fatigue of Charli xcx and Chappell Roan, and I give my first listen thoughts on the band Geese. ---  Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show...

It's been too long yet again since we've talked fashion on the pod. Jai is back and we're catching up on the recent breaking news of Galliano at Zara and what that means, Oscars fashion, and we talk our favorite collections from the past 'fashion month'.

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ]  I'm so glad that a film still from Tumblr over 10 years ago brought me to this film. What sprouted as a possible fashion editorial, ended up being one of the most original and thought provoking films I've seen in quite a while. Daisies from 1966 is a wild ride of surrealism, freedom, and feminism by Vera Chytilová. I can see how...

I was over the moon when I discovered another person that watched the Love After Lockup series/franchise. I've been a fan of Kelli Williams' and had a chat w/ her ages ago here on the pod but couldn't wait to have her back to talk one of the shows I love so much.  We get into this current season of 'Love During Lockup' and why this format isn't the strongest and we basically bounce around and talk...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT!  (for the last time) We're wrapping up this drama filled season of All Stars finally. From the last minute messy games, Maya fighting for life, and Scott's 'Real Housewives' reads it went to hell at the end there. So lock in for another 2.5 hour episode of two fans reliving the last dramatic bits of this whirlwind of a series. -- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freak...

I had originally planned to do an episode talking about season 3 of DC and one of the best episodes that lead us into the Pacey/Joey era anyway. However since James Van Der Been recently passed away I went back to the pilot of the show again. I had Stephen come on to talk about how millennials owe podcasting to Dawson Leery, his other roles, and hear set stories from when Stephen did extra work. ...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT!  Yes, basically all of the things I thought/said in the last episode, disregard. As always things change daily if not hourly on this show and Ashley is back to break down more of this mess happening.  We get into Carrington being the 'himbo' of the house, how Belle has lost us, Whit's weird behavior,  and why they need banish the Heart Rate Challenge for good.  -- Get BONUS ep...

📲  I'VE GOT A TEXT!  I've been a bad Islander and fell super behind with doing these recaps. Well that's sort of half true, I've been watching and keeping up but haven't been reviewing. Needless to say there have been so many dustups and hurricanes blown through as of now but I'm recapping eps 19-23.  I'm talking the weirdness of the US transition into the Villa, Curtis' weird behavior, and how s...

It's time for another run around with our favorite Real Housewives. Callum returns to talk the many highs and lows of the girls we love to watch. This episode we're talking SLC, Potomac, and Bev Hills (and the lack of pizzaz). We sprinkle in a few current hot topics to keep things current and just have a good ol ki. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, B...
