Fashion Grunge Podcast

Get ready cause it's time to explore the groovy world of 70s adult films and incredible mid-century modern homes. Me and Mikey were instantly transported back to the 70s resurgence that happened  in the 90s. There's a lot of behind the scenes drama, weird casting options, and we get into why we wished this was an NC-17 rating. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.co...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] This month's journey into the 00s is a return to one of my all time favorite directors, Gregg Araki. While this film deals with trauma and dark themes I was anxious to get Jai's opinion as a first time viewer. We talk the a lot about the production, adaption to the screen from the novel, and the incredible acting throughout.  --- ...

We're taking it back to the 80s! Even though we're usually in the 90s world we had to pay homage to Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, and Christian Slater in  Heathers.  This film is piece of fashion in film history as well as being one of the most quotable. We talk our favorites, the insanity of the story, and details behind the scenes. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.pa...

We were in a bit of a  Keanu mood (when are we not though) so we decided to finally talk Point Break. Some of our talking points include why Kathryn Bigelow was the best choice as director, the mysterious world of surfing, and why this film never ages.  Off topic rants include my intense requirements for a meatball sub at the 18:00 minute mark  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATRE...

Yes, it's time for another rock doc. We take a journey across the pond to see what the music scene was in early 90s England. Enter in Britpop. This episode got somewhat chaotic in a good way. Topics include talking Britpop in the short period of purity, our own love of the genre, and our thoughts on the verbal sparring between Liam and Noel Gallagher. ---  Get BONUS episodes on PATREON ! www.patre...

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -- This episode felt like a mind melting session. Me and Mikey talk the impact this film still has today in all areas of culture. We e...

Here is the first episode of our Patreon bonus episodes where we are covering each episode of Freaks and Geeks!  --- Wow we're finally here! We've been transported back to McKinley High School in 1980. That's right starting from the pilot that aired on NBC in 1999. I couldn't have possibly imagined how incredible this one season show would be.  Some of the many topics we cover are cast introductio...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Just wow. Here we GO. You want a wild ride or a wild RIDE?  Me and Charles are literally obsessed with this film and couldn't wait to give you dramatic readings, impressions, and geek out for an hour. Let's be real, it's basically just both of us getting our LIFE for over an hour and how we demand multiple sequels and a tv series...

This is one of the most classic films of the 90s. Let's face it we all think dinosaurs are cool. Maybe not so cool if we're thrown together with them in a theme park from hell situation.  Charles gives us a science lesson with his extensive knowledge of the book and the differences from the animals in the film and what scientists know now. We get into the intense sound mixing that created each din...

You're in luck because me and Charles are kind of obsessed with the early seasons that shaped our childhood and adolescence. Listen along as we talk the New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London seasons. We break down the cast, our favorites and the stand out moments of each season!  Over on Patreon we continue the episode with Miami, Boston, Seattle, Hawaii, and New Orleans seasons! Get BO...

The 90s nostalgia was heavy with this one. It's like being transported back the world of high school friends, summers in parks, and general hanging out before the days of social media.  This so happens to star the life of Soleil Moon Frye from child actor to teen years with famous friends along the way.  Me, Charles and Mikey talk about this film, our lives in the 90s, and gossip about all these 9...

This film was ALOT. I quickly remembered why I bought this DVD at a video store closing shop ages ago for less than $5. There were so many aspects of this film we forgot about since our recent rewatch. We get into the confusing tone of the story, an undiscovered fashion icon in Michelle Forbes, and literally wonder where this 9 mil budget went. Off topic rants include bitching about Vogue, stars t...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Does anyone truly know what this film is about? The beauty of this film from 2001 is that it really gets more involved with each viewing. I randomly spend the first 5 minutes trying to convert Jules into a Ryan Gosling stan, discuss how every film deserves a director's cut, and we piece all the perfect elements of this story toget...

Well...this was steamy and A LOT. We've waded through the murky waters of erotic thrillers of the 90s.   Capping it off with the Sharon Stone & Billy Baldwin film, Sliver. It paid off for us to get this complete Cinemax after dark film. While we continue to be jealous of Sharon Stone, our thirst level for Billy Baldwin is at an all time HIGH. Our apologies in advance.    ---  Get BONUS episodes an...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Ugh, everyone has an opinion on Facebook now. We take a look at just how different the company was in 2010 through The Social Network. Some of the many topics we cover is our first Facebook status, the bro-coder fashion vibes, and generally bitch about why Myspace still isn't a thing. Check out Mikey's podcast! Check out ChipzNDis...

Well we went pretty DEEP on one of our favorite artists, Kurt Cobain. We each talk our experiences with listening to Nirvana from a young age, question whether or not this film should have been made, and give our many opinions on the doc as a whole and of course Courtney Love.  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge RATE THE POD & SUBSCRIBE!

Me and Charles really got our fill of an erotic tale with this one. Outside of the complicated story, we worship at the altar of Sharon Stone.  We get into the behind the scenes drama, sociopaths, and why apparently no one in this movie has heard of an ice tray.  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It's been forever since I've seen this dark comedy with a literal mid 90s dream wardrobe. We get into Mikey's first viewer thoughts, break down (almost) ALL her outfits, and dive into the real life true crime story it's based on.   ----  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Both me and Jai were so excited to dive into one of our favorite films. We talk Bertolucci's love letter to cinema, Paris, and the 60s. There is so much we got into including the amazing fashion,  sweeping soundtrack, and how this story come alive on screen with each viewing. ----  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREO...

This is one of those overlooked 90s sleeper films. While it may be known as an early Angelina Jolie film it's actually so much more. We dissect this multi-layered story about complex female friendship, self-worth, and we share our own stories along the way.  ----  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It was the first time for the both of us seeing this dark but oddly timely and comedic 90s take  on tabloid media culture. We talk how we didn't really know what was going on, the kickin soundtrack, the Kurt Cobain connection, and  wrap up by ranting on a variety of topics. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It's been a minute since the three of us girls have been together for a pod! What better time than reviewing a film dear to us, "Girl,Interrupted". We get into this incredible casting, the origin of this film coming together, and I take another opportunity to pledge my undying love to Angelina Jolie.   --- Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge RATE THE P...

Yes, I'm well aware that this is not in the usual vein of films we cover here. Long story short I had never seen it and neither did Charles.  We managed to get severely off track and profess our love for Taco Bell. Other topics included this wild story, who the story was originally meant for, and why we felt cheated out of a Robert Redford love scene. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show o...

You may be wondering why we're covering Batman Forever? Well, it's my fav Batman film and that's why. I have such vivid memories of seeing this in '95. Me and Mikey get into the amazing costumes, the many villains in Gotham world, Jim Carrey being awesome, and why Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne is sort of sociopathic like Patrick Bateman. Oh, and check out Mikey's new podcast, ChipzN'Dish  ---  Get BONU...

This one was a weird one to talk about.  We talk about the historical inaccuracies in the film, the themes, and the fact that Gary Oldman's portrayal saved it all.   ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!
