Back Track 024: All these kids, they're all TV babies. | Drugstore Cowboy (1989) [Patreon Preview]
2026/09/25
for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]
It was an afternoon viewing that really made me realize that I love Gus Van Sant's work. I was aware of the fact before but there was something about this particular watch session that had me transfixed. This was a new take on the 'drug cinema' genre that led into the 90s. Just so happens to be one of my favorite genres to explore.
In this episode I get into the Kurt Cobain connection via William Burroughs, the dark comedy, incredible fashion, and why this has been a cult classic for decades.
works mentioned: Kurt Cobain & William Burroughs collab , Post on Fashion Grunge

A Love Island USA Season 8 Simulacrum aka. Reunion w/ Ashley of Black Girl Film Club
2026/09/15
📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT! (for the last time, really tho)
Well, I did say on the last episode that the show really starts after the finale. I bullied Ashley into watching the reunion and we talk our standout moments and other things we've observed about this season. We get into the themes this season and the many things we've discovered since the Islanders have been back in the "real world".

215: So what's the big problem with the Gauntlet anyway? | The River Wild (1994)
2026/09/06
Wow, is there anything Meryl can't do? The answer is no. I never thought she could turn a domestic drama into a full blown nail biter of a thriller/action movie.
I bought this on DVD a few weeks ago on a complete whim. I went in not knowing anything but the cover and the stacked cast and BOY! Me and Charles talk this insane story, the many crazy moments, and give even more reasons why Meryl reigns supreme!

🍿Intermission #6: I Want Your Sex, Project Runway disappointment, Vacation on the horizon [Patreon Preview]
2026/08/28
for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]
The title says it all. I'm signing off the month of August with all the movies I watched, my current Bravo obsessions, new "old movies' watches, my issues with Project Runway and why Love Island USA this season didn't quite hit for me.

You, Me, and 5 Bucks 023: a chat w/ Tom Hamlett of Dumpster Dive Pod
2026/08/20
It's been on my goal list to have chats with the regular pods that I listen to on a weekly basis. So, I'm stoked to have Tom of Dumpster Dive Podcast here on the show. We basically just had a rollercoaster of a chat talking some obscure reality shows (Bridalplasty!?), question how some of these shows were made, and our thoughts on Love Island. We also bonded over the VH1 cornerstone reality show, Mob Wives.
Enjoy!

Forward Flash 045: Why do you have to try so hard to seem crazy? | Palo Alto (2013) [Patreon Preview]
2026/07/24
for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]
Now, there are movies that are true time capsules. They capture the feeling and specific aura of time. In my rewatch of Palo Alto from 2013 I was instantly transported back to that time period. For me it was a very specific set of aesthetics and music that lived on the internet and Tumblr specifically and this whole movie felt like wandering through a blog.
I was transfixed by this after my first watch at the cinema. The soundtrack lived in my head for months and still is one of my favorites. During my rewatch this time I could see the cracks in the story that I didn't see before. The truly blandness of the story, some of the most unlikeable characters, and the whole problematic nature of James Franco and his sleazy role in this film adapted from his short stories.
I've decided to put this in my 'kinda bad, but I like it' category. I get into the behind the scenes short film that was produced for it, the normie but relatable fashion, and the lack of technology that felt like a breath of fresh air in the story.

Love Island USA: "We're not a toxic relationship. We just do toxic things." | Season 8 Eps 32-Finale w/ Ashley of Black Girl Film Club
2026/07/15
📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT! (for the last time)
I have mixed feelings about this season as a whole and Ashley is back on the pod to help me wrap this all up. We talk about the toxicity that is apparently rewarded on this season, the disastrous 'Family Day', and I get a rundown on the finale dates cause I didn't watch the finale. *groan
What a season, and now that it's over this is where the show really starts!

Love Island USA & UK: a check in w/ Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast
2026/07/10
📲 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 happen.
Then we're talking the current Love Island UK season where all hell is breaking loose in the best way. Our Queens Angelista, Mara, and Jasmine should just win the whole damn thing together. We're getting into why Lola needs to go, Lorenzo in his therapist era, and how this season is shaping up to be another iconic series.

Love Island USA: "So you're in a situationship.' | Season 8 Eps 26-31 w/ Ashley of Black Girl Film Club
2026/07/08
📲 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?"

2026/07/01
📲 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. Me and Ashley give our usual temperature check on what's happening in the Villa, the boys being horrible overall, Casa recoupling Bad Girls Club style, and we get into how Movie Night is building cases and boiling our blood.

214: I mean, you don't have to be sober to weigh spinach. | Boys Don't Cry (1999)
2026/06/28
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 roles, the difficult reception by Brandon's mother, and just why Hilary Swank's portrayal was beyond Oscar win worthy.

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!

2026/06/17
📲 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. Ashley is back with me to give our current temperature reading, Kenzie's questionable behavior, and just all the ways this season is very different than anything we've seen in the recent USA seasons.
