Fashion Grunge Podcast

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Well what can we say about Havoc? There is so much to say and yet so little at the same time. It really is quite an accomplishment in film. While most of the actors would like to pretend that this never happened, but guess what "the North remembers". I roped Charles into this review as we explore the real underbelly of the y2k cri...

Again we're back to talk about fashion. Enjoy this unfiltered opinion filled episode on the state of the industry, notes on the FW25 shows, the economic impact, and some recent moments in fashion culture that have left us disappointed and bored. --- 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 jo...

I’m so glad that we’re talking another John Waters film on the podcast. Within ten minutes of watching I was screaming and rolling on the floor laughing. We talk the incredible casting, the magic of Waters as an auteur, and our many favorite scenes and quotes. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to supp...

I've decided to call these movies, "one of those". It represents films you don't hear too much about but have a stacked cast that you recognize and had no idea existed. For me this represents Clay Pigeons. It's been a long time coming for me to review this un even film starring 90s indie snark queen, Janeane Garofalo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Vince Vaughn.  On this episode I get into my first experien...

While all over the world we are celebrating the work of Cillian Murphy, it only felt right to dive into one of his most legendary roles as Tommy Shelby. I decided to recap and introduce the first episode for those who may have not seen it (what are you...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] To say that I'm beyond thrilled to talk about Amadeus would be an understatement. Like I have mentioned before, I can't believe it has taken this long to review this literal perfect film. The obsessive nature between the two men we compare to more contemporary film dynamics (*cough Saltburn). We are talking the Director's Cut of t...

Dustin from Rewatch Recap is back on the pod to talk one of the most random rom coms of the 90s, The Truth About Cats & Dogs 🐶 🐱   Listen to us decode this story through today’s lens, the charm of Ben Chaplin, the weirdness of Uma Thurman in this role, and the snark we love from Janeane Garofalo. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture...

As you may know I love the fashion of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and one of my favorite accounts to follow is The Boy About Town .  So I had to to get in touch with Frankie, who is behind the account to find out more. We talk our love for magazines, growing up on music videos, 90s music, and of course the elusive relatability of the Olsen twins. — Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks &...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] I miss the dark comedy films of the 90s and 00s. Granted yes culture and humor have shifted as they do when time passes, but man there are some hidden film gems to uncover. That leads me to Saved!, probably one of the funniest and darkest comedies with just an incredible all-star cast.  Me and Mikey talk about how the script is ju...

In all my years I have never seen the 90s Ninja Turtle movies. From what I have heard, it's the greatest and is more than you would think. I'm here to report that I loved it and it's an instant 'himbo' classic. Me and Mikey talk his history with this film in his childhood, why I love Michelangelo, and wonder why they didn't make April more badass like in the cartoon series. --- Get BONUS episodes...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Office films. Something I wanted to explore as a theme so this is just the start. The 80s was really all about the exploration of the workplace. Oddly enough this is a rom-com that actually won Oscars. This is my first time watch and Charles' pick! Can we take several minutes to talk about these 80s office fashions too?! We get in...

It's New Year's Eve and I finally watched 200 Cigarettes!

Yep, me and Jai are back before the holidays to talk more rumors in the fashion world. We talk about the new Chanel appointment, Galliano officially out at Margiela, Chloe Sevigny, future collections we're looking forward to, and general fashion chit chat! --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support...

I was beyond thrilled when I got a chance to talk to Chani Ra of The Fashion Nap. Since discovering her on TikTok I've thought of her as a 'living magazine'. In this interview episode I get to the beginnings of fashion in her life, our love of fashion magazines, some of our favorite models past and present, and chat some of our favorite creators.  — Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] The fact that I didn't know about this film until about a month ago is crazy and embarrassing! This formula is like heaven. Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, directed and written by Amy Heckerling with costumes by Mona May! Sign me all the way up! Vampire roommates? Falling in love hijinks and camp vampire gore?!  Yes, Mikey...

I've been wanting to check this one off the list for a while. With Larry Clark being one of my favorite directors, this was an early one in his filmography.  Now, this was a weird one for me. There were certain aspects that I was expecting that didn't really make sense for me. In this episode I worked out the bias I was going into the film with, and explain the concept of a 'that guy' in movies an...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] I just saw this for the first time about two weeks ago in the theater (so 80s) thanks to Charles. He told me we just had to cover this for the pod and I'm so glad he did. If I didn't already have a crush on Bruce from 'The Fifth Element' , I now am obsessed with John McLean.  This film was an 80s corporate office porn dream along...

This is one of those 90s movies that really shouldn't have been made. Lucky for you that it was so bad that we still ended up having plenty to say about it. Mikey had the unfortunate experience of seeing this in the theater, but in 1997 we were really spoiled for choice at the cinema each week. It wouldn't be a true exploration of 90s movies if we didn't talk about the duds from time to time.  Whi...

As I've mentioned before on the show, I'm reality tv obsessed. I'm fully versed in the Bravo world and it was such a joy to talk to another Bravo fan!  Enter in Stephen from Creek Talk Podcast . We talked in the past about our love of the different cities so it was time that we do an episode on the current seasons! Enjoy this 2+ hour kick back where we check in with the women of Orange County, giv...

If you can believe it, this is my first watch of this cult classic. I somehow managed to never see it until now and I'm obsessed. Of course Mikey is along to talk one of his comfort films and his immense history with this gem. It works for the October season and this also reminds me of The Substance, I've recently seen. Other points are this amazing wardrobe and the magic of Meryl, Goldie, and hot...

Finally, it's time for a good old fashion chat where me and Jai talk our favorites from this past 'fashion month' aka. the Spring/Summer 2025 collections. We break it down by city, get into our disappointments this season, confusing collections, and wrap up with some recent fashion topics. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documenta...

It's movies like this that make me love the 90s. The ability to make multi genre horror thrillers with a domestic medical drama and demon afterlife subplot is unmatched. I was searching for something to review in October and this has been on my list forever, mostly for the stacked cast. I went in knowing nothing and this was nothing short of a wild ride.  I mean Jeff Goldblum as the dad and Alicia...

Yes, this is our last foray into the 'Dark Side of the 90s' Vice series.  In keeping with the total and complete theme of FG itself, we just had to talk more about the birth of the Seattle sound and Sub-Pop records. This episode focuses more on the independent label scene and just how corporations really tried to ruin everything.  At least there is a silver lining in the fact that Sub-Pop is still...

Me and  Jules are back to shoot the shit for another dose of music industry and adjacent topics. We get into the latest Chappell  Roan controversies and political activism by celebrities,  how the VMAs is now basically pop cosplay, Dave Navarro vs. Perry Farrell, Woodstock '99 podcast,  and what we're currently listening to and watching  ---  Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geek...

for the full episode join the Patreon [ patreon.com/fashiongrunge ] Ahh another one of those random movies that you never hear about that I own on DVD. I have such a vivid memory of watching this in the theater, basically because I was obsessed with the two actors, Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt. Even though it's not a holiday movie like at all, I enlisted Mikey to take a walk down the seedy roads...
