217: This is still a script, right, Wes? | Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
2026/11/08
It's still spooky scary movie season over here! (psst. its all year long). How I have not seen this movie until now is just crazy. Charles picked this one and man we talk about the master that Wes Craven is to the horror genre of the new millennium. We get into the amazing fashion and production design, the meta-ness of it all, and this inevitably leads to discussions about the later Scream franchise.

Forward Flash 046: Your days of plenty are numbered. | The Edukators (2004) [Patreon Preview]
2026/11/06
for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]
I've been in a different kind of mood lately. Since I reviewed Daisies as the Back Track episode that got me thinking of films I have in my collection. This brings me to the 2004 Hans Weingartner film, The Edukators.
The last time I saw this has to be 15 + years ago. I walk you through my collection and how I stumbled upon this gem in the most random time in my life. This story of three people coupled by anti-establishment frustrations and how they cope with their daily lives is so interesting. The Dreamers came to mind when thinking about other stories with three leads and the interwoven inevitable romantic component.
I get into the fashion, the awesome soundtrack and Jeff Buckley, and other behind the scenes tidbits.
Off-topic rants include: dvd collections and how I need access to the entire MTV Week in Rock content library

🎃 Halloween Special: Obsession (2026)
2026/10/31
Soooo...you knew it was coming. It's the film everyone was talking about just a few months ago, Obsession. We seem to be in the middle of a renaissance when it comes to horror gaining national attention. A new crop of creators and directors are out there which gives a perspective we all needed.
While it only came out in May, this film has felt like it's been around for a while. It's not exactly the newest concept but there was something about it that drew me in immediately in the theater. Mikey is along for this episode and we're talking our first impressions, other horror films we liked this year, and we get into why Bear is literally the WORST!

216: Time is on my side. Yes it is. | Fallen (1998)
2026/10/25
I know it seems like I haven't done a 90s movie here on the pod for a minute. And that's because it HAS been a long while. Before this October month whizzes by I thought we at least gotta get some spooky movie here in time before time is up.
Mikey is with me on the pod and we're talking Fallen, a movie I had never heard of until some months ago and I really enjoyed it. We talk the other actors considered for roles, eerie things happening on set, and why we were confused about the domestic situation going on.
Off-topic rants include: recent horror movies, other supernatural films of the 90s ,

2026/10/20
This was a doozy of an episode! Stephen is back on the pod talking Bravo with me and we get into SO many thoughts about RHONY and bounce around to the end of Ultimate Girls Trip, what we're feeling on the new Salt Lake, and Potomac being off to a great start!

Stay in New York or perish. | Felicity: Pilot (1998) [Patreon Unlocked]
2026/10/07
It was time to unlock this episode since Felicity is one of absolute favorite shows of the 90s and it's so fun to look back on this series all these years later! Enjoy!
--
It's finally here. I promised a while ago that we were going to dive into the pilot of Felicity (1998). This is one of my all time fave shows so on the last episode where we recapped the whole series barely touched on the many nuances of the characters surrounding only the pilot.
This episode is a long one, but enjoy as me and Jai talk through our first impressions, some behind the scenes drama, the 'normie' fashion, and try to decode the downward spiral that ensues during this pilot series.
*note: we actually start getting into the show around the 24 minute mark, we had a random catch up chat

Back Track 024: All these kids, they're all TV babies. | Drugstore Cowboy (1989) [Patreon Preview]

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.

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!

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!

A Love Island UK Summit w/ Stephen of Creek Talk Podcast

📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT! (from across the pond!) 🏝️🇬🇧
Stephen from Creek Talk Podcast is back to chat about the most recent season of Love Island UK. I bullied him successfully and he watched the entire season in under a month. We get into how we were disappointed in the USA season that just wrapped, what we thought about this cast of characters, and favorite moments and quotes a plenty!

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.
"I wish I didn't care about anything."
