Hot Topic Goth Corsets and Cozy Fall Turtlenecks in Urban Legend (1998) Nov 01, 2024

We bid farewell to October by having Halloween Queens’ Natalie Burris back on the pod to dissect the late ‘90s fashions of Urban Legend! This post-Scream slasher is stacked with the hottest stars of the era, with the killer terrorizing college kids by referencing Urban Legends. A super fun concept with great costume design by Mary Claire Hannan (The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Jackie Brown, Red Eye, Four Rooms!). We love the autumn-esque, Gilmore Girls vibe of Alicia Witti's final girl's turtlenecks, Danielle Harris as the goth roommate in all of her Hot Topic deliciousness, and Tara Reid's sexy looks as the campus radio host/sex advice columnist. Questions we have: was Sasha's (Tara Reid) Halloween costume somehow based on Tiffany from Bride of Chucky (it may have been filming at the same time?!), and was Niecy Nash's character in Scream Queens inspired by Loretta Devine in this film?

Other discussions include Marie's JNCOs, The Substance (and Natalie’s incredible Halloween costume as The Star), the lack of goth side characters in movies today, and we long wistfully for the celebrity rumors and urban legends of yore….(gerbil, stomach-pumping, etc.).

Baby Bangs and Funky Florals In Scream 3 (2000) Oct 25, 2024

"All I know about trilogies is that in the third one, all bets are off.” It may be the most controversial and hated of the franchise, but we love the campy, extremely meta Scream 3! Costume designer Abigail Murray gives us some super fun, highly underrated looks in the "Ghostface Goes Hollywood" third installment of the film series. We get into Sidney’s (Neve Campbell) relaxed final girl style and accessory ode to her dead ex, Parker Posey as the hilarious, stylish, cool-girl Jennifer Jolie, and, of course, Gale’s (Courtney Cox) bangs!

We also spill the tea on Marie’s witchy Practical Magic birthday dinner, so be warned. PS. Don’t forget to leave a review! There may be a surprise you can find out about this episode...

Let’s buzz!!

‘90s Stoner Style in Idle Hands (1999) Oct 11, 2024

There is evil out there, and I'm gonna kick its ass! We’ve got a late ‘90s Halloween movie for y’all — Idle Hands! The one has a rare issue; there wasn’t a costume designer credit, but a kickass wardrobe department still put the cast in fun 'fits. We get into the [Devon] Sawassance and discuss his underrated, incredible performance in this movie. Hello, that hand acting? Oscar-worthy. We love you, Devon! We also discuss Seth Green as a ‘90s style icon, vintage bowling shirts, hesher style, and…Pornstar clothing (memba them?).

Top of the show chat and glorious tangents include Marie’s new Practical Magic prop acquisition, Queensylvia Akuchie’s gorgeous costume design in the new season of Bel-Air, what Blaire’s watching (Grotesquerie; Spoiler: She’s loving Travis Kelce), and another horror dude renaissance — Kyle Gallner!

Dying Over the 1980s Seedy Slasher Style in MaXXXine (2024) Sep 20, 2024

We're baaaaack (Carol Anne voice). Did you miss us? We've risen from the dead just in time to celebrate Spooky Season! To kick off our comeback era, we're diving into MaXXXine, starring Mia Goth as the fame-obsessed final girl of Ti West's X film series. For this third and last installment, Costume designer Mari-An Ceo put Ms. Goth in delicious double denim, muscle shirts, leather pants, high-heeled boots, and gold jewelry — all of which have amazing references and seriously clever Easter eggs. Listen as we discuss our favorite KILLER looks from this 1980s Hollywood-set slasher, with Marie sharing unpublished tidbits from her interview with Mari-An.

Before we get into the film, we catch up on things we didn't get to discuss these past few months, like: LongLegs (Blaire says Nic Cage is "dressed like Nanny on The Muppet Babies," and we're still recovering from that...); Practical Magic 2 (still awaiting confirmation of the AUNTS in the sequel); our official new style icon, Karis, the fabulous TikTok tween show pig champion; our spooky season finds, and more. Tune in, and leave a message at our new numba!!! (323) 696-6133

Frankenflops and Heath Ledger's Tank Tops in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) Mar 29, 2024

Happy 25th anniversary to the 1999 classic, 10 Things I Hate About You! We’ve talked about Kim Tillman’s work on the pod before (Doppelgänger, Wild Things). This time, she created thoughtful and fashionable costumes for the Seattle teens in this reimagined Taming of the Shrew. Kim dressed Julia Stiles’s character in low-slung pants, cropped camo, and Frankenflops, opposite her sister’s (Larisa Oleynik) ultra-girly style. Heath Ledger (in his breakthrough role) got the stylish bad-boy treatment in custom-dyed tank tops and PVC pants. We also discuss the iconic prom looks, name the film’s Surprise Style Icon, revisit Andrew Keegan’s alleged cult (and then fantasize about becoming cult leaders ourselves).

Pay Equity Now! With Costume Designers Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams Feb 26, 2024

Did you know that costume designers, the majority of whom are women, are paid nearly 30 percent less than other, male-dominated creative department heads? Despite costume design being a pivotal part of storytelling in cinema, it has been historically dismissed as “women’s work,” leading to the artisans being underpaid and under-appreciated in their industry.

In this very special episode, we're covering the Pay Equity Now movement! Blaire chats with costume designers and friends of the pod, Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams, who are co-chairs of the Costume Design Guild’s Pay Equity Steering Committee, about this important initiative. Tune in now and learn how to support costume designers' fight for pay parity, because without them, there would be no us! #CDGPayEquity #NakedWithoutUs

Boudoir Chic and 'Ringmaster Red' in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) Jan 19, 2024

Y’all come back now, ya hear? In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas movie musical, Dolly Parton is Miss Mona, the madam of the local Chicken Ranch, a historic and beloved brothel in a small Texas town. Sheriff Ed Earl (Burt Reynolds) helps out Miss Mona by looking out for the brothel, but the duo runs into trouble when TV personality Melvin Thorpe tries to expose the ranch. Dolly's outfits are a serious boudoir chic feast for the eyes, with ruffles, lace, feathers, sequins, and floor-length “ringmaster red” garments, costumed by the late, great Theodora Van Runkle (Troop Beverly Hills).

As usual, we break down our favorite looks but also discuss Burt Reynold’s hunkdom (and how we’d cast Pedro Pascal in his role for our imaginary remake). There’s also chisme about Dolly and Burt hating each other during filming, so Blaire has a request for Ryan Murphy: to make the next installment of Feud be about their drama!

Blaire also educate us on something she calls Food Jail, inspired by a celebrity’s *interesting* food combinations. And Marie guesses the character’s zodiac signs for our Cosmic Costumes segment.

The film, which Marie describes as the Canadian precursor to Jennifer’s Body, is about two sisters named Ginger and Brigitte who are super close (and super angsty!). One day, Ginger gets her period for the first time, AND bit by a werewolf, and becomes a real ravenous b****! There are a lot of parallels between this and Jennifer's Body, such as the opposites-attract dynamic between the sisters, the blood-hungry transformation, and even the makeover moment reveal that happens during an iconic slow-motion, walking down the hallway scene.

Costume designer Lea Carlson put Ginger and Brigitte in oversized cardigans, maxi skirts, thin choker necklaces, and animal skull jewelry. Forgot Gilmore Girls fall fashion, it’s all about Ginger Snaps werewolf-girl style! We also talk about House of Usher Raymond and the Y2Kills exhibit at Mystic Museum in LA, and we reminisce about going to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Night back in the day. Plus, Blaire makes an excellent case for more 'goth moms' in movies.

The Symbolism of the Color Red in Run Sweetheart Run (2020) Oct 20, 2023

Keeping with our October whores4horror theme, this episode is on the feminist horror flick Run Sweetheart Run, one of Blaire’s faves! Cherie (Ella Balinska) is a single mom and secretary at an LA law firm who has to go to dinner with her boss’ client. Sure, he may be hot and rich, but he’s actually a bloodthirsty demon who chases her all around the city. Dating in LA is hard! Costume designer Nadine Haders used touches of symbolic red throughout the film and other interesting choices, like a decorated military jacket and karate suits. Other things we discuss? Oh, just the great Hoe Bag vs. Slut Kit debate, men in gray sweatpants, and Blaire reminisces about her interesting night at Schwartz and Sandy’s (for all your Vanderpump peeps). Tune in, now!

'90s Arm Cuffs and Dog Tag Necklaces in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) Oct 13, 2023

What are you waiting for?! The next installment of Marie and Blaire's horror faves for October is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with costume design by Catherine Adair (Desperate Housewives, Fate: The Winx Saga, Perry Mason). We've already done the sequel (as we sometimes go backward on this here pod), but now is the time to celebrate our Croaker Queen Helen Shivers's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) totally modern cut-out dress and sophisticated New York-inspired 'fits. We also talk about Julie's (Jennifer Love Hewitt) cozy sweaters, crop tops, and Paddington Bear hat, Barry's (Ryan Philippe) preppy sweaters, the '90s trend of dog tag necklaces and military fatigues, and the risks of wearing tons of jewelry when you have a vengeful, hook-swinging killer on the loose. Then for Cosmic Costumes, Marie tries to analyze Helen and Julie's sun signs.

Other topics of discussion include Marie’s week of being Ms. Goop Paltrow, her 24-hour trip to see Lady Gaga sing jazz in Las Vegas, and her psychic medium reading, while Blaire clears up the difference between Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel, and makes a case for all of us to watch a movie called "The VelociPastor."

Pink Taffeta and Polyester Mumus in She-Devil (1989) Jun 26, 2023

We are absolutely thrilled to have the fabulous Bri Luna of The Hoodwitch on the podcast today to talk about one of her favorite movies, She-Devil! The 1989 flick stars Roseanne Barr as a jilted housewife who devises a long-con revenge on her cheating husband and the romance novelist who stole him (Meryl Streep in one of her most underrated roles). Costume designer Albert Wolsky takes the characters through a fantastical voyage of clothes, beginning with caricatures of extreme femininity and stereotypes of the forgotten housewife, then into a transformation that is both sartorial and spiritual. It’s a makeover like no other!

Bri opens our eyes to the movie’s many unseen layers: looking at it through a magickal lens, and how the two main characters can be interpreted as Lilith and Eve. It’s so much more about revenge (one of our favorite genres); it also explores the dichotomy of womanhood, female repression and oppression, and the power of the underdog. You're going to want to eat an eclair in the bathtub while you tune into this extremely Taurus, Libra, and Scorpio-esque movie now!

Music Minisode: Aaliyah "If Your Girl Only Knew" (1996) Jun 02, 2023

We’re shaking things up today with a surprise music video minisode! This time, we’re taking it back to 1996 with the one and only Baby Girl, Aaliyah. "If Your Girl Only Knew,” penned by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, was the first single off her sophomore album, One in a Million. Blaire breaks down this transformative era in Aaliyah’s career, and how this video was a true makeover moment for Aaliyah in more ways than one. On the fashion side, she began to come into her own sense of style, pairing her signature tomboy vibe with midriff tops and belly chains. Then, Marie talks about how stylist David De La Cruz fitted Aaliyah in a leather motorcycle mama look, and the crème de la crème accessory, the Vivienne Westwood armor ring, which is, of course, a serious obsession on this pod. Tune in now to enjoy this 'lil quickie!

Big news! It’s our last episode as Fishnet Flix, so we’ll be taking a break for the month to gear up for our relaunch and new name. But before we go, we’re putting another late ‘90s teen thriller notch in our belts with Teaching Mrs. Tingle.

The Faculty (1998) Mar 10, 2023

"I'm not an alien. I'm discontent." We’re talking about one of our favorite ‘90s teen thrillers, The Faculty! In this Robert Rodriguez-directed and Kevin Williamson-written film, Aliens begin taking over a small town high school, Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style! The cast includes Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Clea Duvall, Usher, and more. Costumes are by Emmy award-winning costume designer Michael T. Boyd, but let's be real, The Faculty is a whole ass commercial for Tommy Hilfiger...

We discuss Usher’s lawsuit against the fashion brand, Josh Hartnett’s iconic hair, the fake gothery of it all, and the entertaining trope of fake drug names in movies. Blaire talks abut how she’d handle being locked away and Marie works through her trauma about all the Tommy Hilfiger in the film. It’s a real journey up in here!

Costume design is by one of our faves, Wendy Chuck (Confess, Fletch, Twilight, Hubie Halloween, Election) and features a seriously iconic bank robbery look, cute monochromatic outfits, and cheerleader uniforms, of course! We’re now ready for cheer-core to become a trend. We also discuss the comparison with Bring it On (and a big revelation about the two movies by Gabriella Union), Penn Badgley not wanting to do sex scenes anymore, and Blaire breaks down her fave MSCHF as we discuss dem big red boots...ps did anyone watch Hollywood Darlings?

Babes in Toyland (1986) Dec 23, 2022

Drewcember concludes with our final episode of the year...and it's a doozy! Come with us on a journey of complete chaos as we discuss the 1986 made-for-TV movie Babes in Toyland, which starred a tween Drew Barrymore and a young Keanu Reeves. It's set in Toyland, a magical fairytale realm where Marie believes all TikTok fashion aesthetics are birthed from. Costumes designed by Evangeline Harrison.

The Stand-In (2020) Dec 16, 2022

Drewcember continues with The Stand-In, Drew Barrymore’s most recent film from 2020. Our queen plays a washed-up movie star who hires her old stand-in to go to rehab in her place. And yes, Drew plays both roles, Eddie Murphy-style! This movie may have been a victim of the pandemic and not seen by many when it first came out, but it’s a must-see for any Drewbie. Especially since we rarely get to see her play these type of “unlikeable” characters! As for costumes, there are a few glamorous standouts from costume designer Sarah Mae Burton (The King of Staten Island, The Big Sick) but it's really all about Miss Barrymore.

Home Fries (1998) Dec 09, 2022

For this week’s very special Drewcember episode, we have our friends and Drew Barrymore superfans, Ashley and Anne from How Do You Drew Podcast and the Drewseum joining us to discuss Home Fries. This 1998 dark “rom-com” stars Drew as a pregnant, Dolly Parton-obsessed Burger-Matic employee whose baby daddy is literally frightened to death by his two stepsons, one being played by Luke Wilson. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (who we talked about in our Bill and Ted episode and who did Revenge, Six Feet Under, and tons more). Jill put a curly-haired Drew in floral print dresses and cardigans for a sweet Southern girl look. While we’re sad an alleged Dollywood scene was cut out of this quirky movie, we have a blast talking about all things Drew! (Including her apparent “workplace crush” on Jim Carrey during the filming of Batman Forever.)

Grey Gardens (2009) Dec 02, 2022

It’s our fifth annual Drewcember! Grab a plate of some bedside hot buttered corn and your best costume of the day because it’s time for Grey Gardens! Drew Barrymore stars as Little Edie Beale alongside Jessica Lange as Big Edie, the reclusive mother and daughter who lived in a decaying mansion for almost 50 years. Costume designer Catherine Marie Thomas (Kill Bill, Whip It, 27 Dresses) is behind the exquisite recreations of the 'fits Little Edie was known for. We have fun breaking down the looks of our favorite staunch character-slash-style icon while comparing to the OG Grey Gardens documentary from the 1970s, and then somehow go from talking about the Edith Beales to guessing the zodiac sign of Jigsaw from the Saw movies? Don’t ask…just tune in. Bye!

The Holiday (2006) Nov 25, 2022

Now that we’re really getting into *Mariah* season, it’s time to make yourself a plate of Christmas Fettucine and put on The Holiday! Nancy Meyers’s iconic rom-com gets us in the mood to wear cable knit sweaters, shearling coats, and berets. Marlene Stewart (who styled early Madonna, and did costume design for everything from Coyote Ugly, to To Wong Foo, and The Lost City) is behind the cozy sophisticated costumes. She put Cameron Diaz in tons of designer winterwear that makes us LA gals wish we could spend time in the snow!

Falling for Christmas (2022) Nov 18, 2022

Friends, we are HERE for the comeback of our queen Lindsay Lohan! In the new Netflix Christmas movie Falling for Christmas. Lindsay plays a hotel heiress who litrully falls down a mountain and can’t remember who she is, then meets a snow lodge owner and romance ensues. It’s giving Overboard in the snow. The looks, courtesy of costume designer Emerson Alvarez are to-die-for especially a certain head-to-toe pink snowsuit number that we can't stop thinking about even though we live in LA. Watch the movie on Netflix and listen to our episode break it all down. PS. We’re ready for a Parent Trap sequel now…

Edward Scissorhands (1990) Nov 11, 2022

We’re getting into the holiday spirit with Edward Scissorhands, a movie that Blaire swore we would never do on this podcast because It Is Sad. But how could we not do this iconic Tim Burton movie and celebrate the costumes by the legendary Colleen Atwood? Tune in to hear us discuss all of our favorite looks, from Edward’s leather daddy ‘fit to the sweet matching sets Winona Ryder wears in the film, plus the over-the-top wigs, buff Danny Elfman, and more.

200 Cigarettes (1999) Nov 04, 2022

Break out the crab dip, baby! November may have just begun, but we’ve already got our minds on New Year’s Eve—specifically 1982, when a little ol’ movie called 200 Cigarettes took place. The movie came out in 1999 and featured numerous familiar faces, many who were just lil baby celebrities at the time (Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, Ben Affleck, Courtney Love, Paul Rudd, and SO many more). We follow all of the characters during one fateful NYE night as they make their way across New York City to get to a party. The ‘fits are FAB and costumed by thee Susan Lyall who we talked about in our Empire Records and also did Molly’s Game, the Trial of the Chicago 7, Being the Ricardos, and more. Listen, if you’ve ever found yourself compelled to don leopard print, or a furry coat, tights and heels as a New Year’s Eve outfit, this movie might have been why.

Off topic rambles include the Mothman (hit Marie up if you are a Mothman luva), the Jeepers Creepers man…excuse me, but how did he get a personalized license plate?, lesser known early aughts teen thrillers (hint: we MAY have a themed month on the docket), and we butt heads over imitation crab. Fun all around!

The Invitation (2022) Oct 28, 2022

To close out Vampire Month here on Fishnet Flix, we’ve got a new gothic romance film in the lineup, and one that will no doubt inspire some new fangbangers to come out of the woodwork. The Invitation (2022) is about Evie (Nathalie Emmanuel), a New Yorker who finds out she has long-lost family members so she travels to the English countryside to meet them. There, she also meets the hunkety-hunk lord of the manor, Mista Walter De Ville (Thomas Doherty). As Evie eases into her British aristocratic surroundings, her outfits go cool, artsy, NYC-funky to stunningly elaborate, thanks to costume designer Danielle Knox. Spoiler: We loved them all! The movie is described in one review as one part Get Out, one part Ready or Not, and one part Dracula, so if that also tickles your fang-cy, give it a watch and tune into our episode!

Obsess Much includes the new Interview With the Vampire TV show and the new M3GAN trailer with her killer moves. We also discuss our favorite Spice Girl, Lodge 49 (RIP), the baseless rumors of a Death Becomes Her remake with Lady Gaga, horn out over Thomas Doherty, then discover that he's Harry Hook from The Descendants, and declare that IF "they" ever dare try to remake Witches of Eastwick, he'd make the perfect Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson's devilish role).

Blade (1998) Oct 21, 2022

Get ready for the Blood Rave! For our latest Vampire Month episode, we’re discussing Blade! Wesley Snipes stars as the half-vampire, half-human superhero in this 1998 film, and proves that nobody looks as good in a black trenchcoat and sunglasses as he does (that is, until Keanu appeared in The Matrix the following year). We’re breaking down the badass costumes by Sanja Hays, who did the Fast and the Furious movies, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and so many others. We also discuss sadistic haunted houses, the new Hellraiser, weird dreams about Robert Pattinson, and more.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) Oct 14, 2022

"All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die." It’s Vampire Month, babes! Before Sarah Michelle Gellar played the Buffy the Vampire Slayer we all know and love, there was the movie version. And guess what, the ‘fits were just as fabulous, thanks to costume designer Marie France (who we talked about in our Purple Rain episode)! Although the fashion may not get as much love as its successor, real ones know THAT PROM LOOK in this 1992 film. Plus, Blaire gives us an update on her journey through the Twilight franchise and her newfound Lord of the Rings obsession, while Marie talks about her spooky trip to Salem, Massachusetts.

Break out the dips, Only Murders in the Building fans! We’re chatting with costume designer Dana Covarrubias about her incredible work in Hulu’s comedy-mystery hit series, which stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. If you’ve seen the show, you already know that every character has undeniable style! Dana (who also did the costumes on Life & Beth, Master of None, Claws, and Ramy) tells us about using inspiration from the Hardy Boys books for Only Murders Season 1 and Hitchcock for Season 2, creating the looks for the fashionable older ladies of the Arconia, the “sneaky ways” she used color and details to show the growing bond between the three leads, and so much more.

Do Revenge (2022) Sep 20, 2022

Surprise, bitches, it's a bonus ep! Marie and Blaire are radiating some serious Glennergy right now because they are in love with Do Revenge. The new Netflix movie stars Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke as two teens who decide to perform the other’s revenge, Strangers on a Train style. It has been a while since we watched a brand-new film that TRULY embodies the Fishnet Flix spirit, and Do Revenge is it. We were overwhelmed with the amount of jaw-dropping looks in this movie, which were designed by Alana Morshead. Do Revenge is a whole package, from the costumes, to the writing, to the soundtrack, we’re giving it two thumbs up and a rewind. It’s jam-packed with ‘90s movie Easter eggs, homages, and references from top to bottom in a fun (and non-annoying) way. Ancient millennials approved! 10 outta 10, baby!

Elvis (2022) Sep 16, 2022

Dust off your blue suede shoes, people. It’s time to talk about Elvis Presley! Anytime Blaire and Marie get to talk about a Baz Luhrmann movie is a good time on this pod, and this Baz-ified biopic of The King did not disappoint. Catherine Martin designed the costumes (we talked about her in our Moulin Rouge episode), which included over 9,000 background cast looks, and over 90 for Elvis (played by Austin Butler). Fun fact: Miuccia Prada was behind several of the costumes for Priscilla Presley and Elvis. Listen to us dive into Elvis’s real-life, ahead-of-his-time style, start a petition for more menz to wear lace shirts, and more, in this fun episode.

Siempre Viva! Live Forever! Marie and Blaire dive into one of the greats…Death Becomes Her! In this dark comedy, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are Madeline and Helen, two longtime frenemies and love rivals (over a semi-dorky Bruce Willis) who want to be young and HOT forever, so they drink a fountain of youth potion that perks ‘em up and makes them immortal! Hijinks ensue, naturally. The costumes were designed by thee Joanna Johnston, who did Hellraiser (!), Back to the Future II and III, The Witches reboot, Forrest Gump, Love Actually, and so much more, and every look is to die for (no pun intended). We want everything from Helen’s Nike t-shirt to Madeline’s marabou-trimmed diva robe! Listen to us fangirl over these iconic costumes, chat about fun facts, and figure out what we’re adding to cart.

The Parent Trap Sep 01, 2022

“Being young and beautiful isn't a crime, you know.” Pour yourself a glass of Parker Knoll Cabernet, and come sit with Blaire and Marie who are on their own for this episode. It's Parent Trap day! This 1998 remake starring Lindsay Lohan and Lindsay Lohan is a real GEM. Oscar-worthy, TBQH! Miss Lindsay acted and ate this role! Everyone has style in this movie, from the long-lost twins, Hailey and Annie, to the evil girl boss Meredith Blake, to the leather daddy butler ,Martin, and the one and only Chessy! Costumes are by Penny Rose (who did the Pirates of Carribean sequels, Entrapment, Evita, Men in Black: International) and every look is to-die-for!

We have Antoinette Messam on the pod with us to talk about her work in Secret Headquarters, the super cute new movie starring Owen Wilson about a boy and his friends who discover a superhero's hidden HQ underneath his dad's home. Antoinette talks about designing a superhero movie for the first time, the most (surprisingly!) stressful costume in the movie, and getting clearance to use an Outkast hoodie. We also ask about her incredible western designs in The Harder They Fall, and how it feels to have been responsible for the iconic 'Orphan' look which is a popular costume every Halloween.

If you're an Angeleno, chances are you've come across the pink alien superstar, known as Angelyne, riding around in her pink Corvette. Emmy Rossum plays the billboard queen in Peacock's fabulous limited series and her outfits are an explosion of rainbows, rhinestones, animal prints, and, of course, pink, pink, pink! We have costume designer Danny Glicker on today's episode, who was the genius behind Angelyne's 100 + outfits and is also nominated for an Emmy because of it! Danny also designed the costumes in Mother!, This is the End, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Bad Times at the El Royale, and many more.

Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991) Aug 12, 2022

"Neat? Anyone who says my sh** was neat has to go." Madonna: Truth or Dare was arguably one of the most titillating music documentaries that has ever been made. Hosts Marie Lodi and Blaire Bercy discuss the importance of the film with sister special guests Elizabeth Spiridakis Olson and costume designer Cristina Spiridakis (Queer as Folk, The Bear, Betty, Dash and Lily)! The four of us break down the outrageously fabulous Blonde Ambition tour costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier while also discussing our love for Fluevog Munsters, Madonna's wild backstage and offstage antics, ponder our longtime curiosities (what WAS that soup Madonna was eating?), and the film's immense impact on the queer community, fashion, and really anyone who grew up during the '90s in this era of Madonna.

New York Minute (2004) Aug 05, 2022

We're kicking off the weekend with a new episode: New York Minute (2004) with thee #1 Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen fan, Natalie Burris of @halloweenqueens!

The great Roger Ebert once said about this cult classique, “Not only should it have gone straight to video but should have gone straight THROUGH video and kept on going to the end of the universe and never looked back." All the love to Rog, but we RESPEKFULLY have to disagree. Though it may not be perfect (cough, Andy Richter, lawd wtf), it does have lots of fun 2000s looks! Costumes were by Christopher Hargadon (The Umbrella Academy).

Other topics of interest: Ashley's character being a young Republican, the House of Bling bend and snap moment, ripped jeans with flip flops (GULP), the Evolution of Olsen fashion, and Heath Ledger (RIP). Plus our Obsessed Much obsessions ( a little old since we recorded this earlier): the Barbie movie, Black Monday, the Elvis movie, Zandra Rhodes x Fluevog, all the Halloween collections coming out!

Steven Grant/Marc Spector hive, please rise! We have Moon Knight costume designer Meghan Kasperlik (who has just been nominated for her incredible work on the show!) on to talk about the absolutely bonkers costumes, including all of the clever and cool Easter eggs she put in the clothes, and which outfit "terrified" her the most. (Yes, we managed to restrain ourselves from asking inappropriate questions about Oscar Isaac). Meghan also talks about getting her start in the biz with Patricia Field, dressing Evan Peters in Mare of Easttown (and giving Jean Smart a "fake butt"), her work in Watchmen and more!

Casino (1995) Jul 07, 2022

"For guys like me, Las Vegas washes away your sins. It's a morality car wash." We are so excited to have the one and only Alana Levinson on the pod. She's a writer, editor, and co-host of the West Coast fashion podcast, Free Validation. And today, we're getting very EYE-TALIAN and talking about mob movies, specifically Martin Scorsese's 1995 flick Casino. From Robert De Niro's iconic coral-colored suit, to the countless looks sported by style icon Ginger (played by Sharon Stone), the costumes are bananas, and for that we have Rita Ryack and John Dunn to thank.

My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) May 27, 2022

"Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing." We’re wrapping up Wedding Month with one of the greatest rom-coms of all time, My Best Friend’s Wedding. It stars Julia Roberts as Julianne, a 27-year-old food critic who made a pact with her dude bff (Dermot Mulroney) that if they aren’t married by the time they turn the ripe old age of 28, they’ll get married to each other. Surprise, though—he’s engaged to a 20-year-old Cameron Diaz, so now Julianne must sabotage the wedding! Costume designer Jeffrey Kurland (Oceans Eleven, Tenet, Erin Brockovich) put Roberts in custom-made masculine silhouettes in muted hues, while Diaz is in colorful, uber preppy, Lilly Pulitzer-esque looks. We also discuss favorite perfumes (Fenty), this wild season of Atlanta, Blaire’s obsession with haupia pudding, and coin a new handbag trend: BPE (Big Purse Energy).

27 Dresses (2008) May 19, 2022

“The best thing is you can shorten it and wear it again.” If you’ve ever had to wear a hideous bridesmaids dress, you might appreciate today’s episode on 27 Dresses, the 2008 wedding rom-com starring Katherine Heigl as a woman who is “always the bridesmaid, never the bride”— quite literally, 27 times. Costumes were by Catherine Marie Thomas (Kill Bill, The Proposal, The Flight Attendant) who designed the titular dresses that were so distinct and over-the-top, they received special nicknames from Thomas and her team, ranging from Gone With the Wind trash-fabulous, to a bright yellow “Peep’s Dress,” a hot pink, ruffled “Bahama Mama,” and more. Other callouts: goth Krysten Ritter, Judy Greer as a scene-stealing BFF, hottie James Marsden.

Music Minisode: Sade "No Ordinary Love" (1992) May 12, 2022

We’re continuing with our wedding season theme with our music minisode pick: Sade’s 1992 hit “No Ordinary Love.” Directed by Sophie Muller, we watch our forever style icon Sade invoke her inner Ariel and portray a mermaid who falls in love with a hunky, Jean Paul Gaultier-esque sailor. She then decides to sew herself a marabou trim wedding dress and grow some legs to find him on land and runs barefoot through the New York City streets! There are only two looks, but they are inspirational!

What's a wedding rom-com theme without a J.Lo movie? We've got her newest, Marry Me up on the menu and one thing's for sure—this ain't no Wedding Planner when it comes to costumes, meaning it's a true feast for the eyes! Caroline Duncan (The Affair, Servant, Old) put Jennifer Lopez in a rose-gold metallic Zuhair Murad bridal gown that weighed 95 pounds, as well as a ton of other glorious designer looks, no doubt inspired by her real-life style. (Shoutout to her stylists Rob and Mariel!) Tune in now to hear our fave looks from this sweet 'lil movie.

Bride Wars (2009) May 01, 2022

We're kicking off our first wedding month —that's right, we're doing all wedding-themed movies (who are we?)—with Bride Wars, a 2009 friend-com that stars two childhood besties (Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway) who declare war on each other when they end up booking their weddings on the same date. June at the Plaza! Costume designer Karen Patch (whose work we discussed on our recent Royal Tenenbaums episode) tapped Vera Wang (OBV) for the gowns, and since it's 2009 we get a lot of big belts and big tote bags!

Minisode: Missy Elliott 'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' (1997) Apr 23, 2022

Grab your Hefty bags, Fishies, 'cause it's time for us to show some RESPEK to one of the greatest music videos of all time: Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," which came out 25 years ago this May. That garbage bag/Michelin man look that's burned in our minds was by June Ambrose (who also did our fave Belly). This was peak Hype Williams era, so we're blessed with his trademark fisheye lens which gloriously highlights Missy's iconic makeup (which was done by Billy B) and those Alain Mikli glasses. Enjoy this fun music minisode!

You wouldn't think there'd be a lot of looks, but in fact, there are! Including some smart choices with hidden meanings, courtesy of the film's costume designers Christina Flannery and Athena Theny.

Minisode: No Doubt 'Just a Girl' (1995) Mar 09, 2022

Costume Designer Jeriana San Juan Talks "Halston" and Vintage Fashion Feb 20, 2022

Costume designer Jeriana San Juan joins us on the pod to discuss her work on Netflix’s limited series "Halston," of which she is nominated for a Costume Design Guild Award: Excellence in Period Television (and was also nominated for an Emmy last year). Jeriana nailed so many of Halston’s trademark designs so beautifully, from his tie-dye chiffon caftans, backless halter dresses, and ultra suede trench dresses, to the stage-ready sequins for his muse, Liza Minnelli, and so much more.

Listen to her talk about recreating this stunning world of Halston (there were over 2000 costumes!), how she taught Ewan McGregor how to sew, drape and “move like a designer," all the Easter eggs she put in (and the ones she wanted to but was forbidden to, lol), and why kimonos are the gateway drug to collecting vintage fashion.

Donnie Darko (2001) Dec 29, 2021

For the last episode of Drewcember and this podcast season, we're doing something a little different and picking a movie where Drew isn't the lead: Donnie Darko! The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a sleepwalking '80s teen who has visions of a scary rabbit man named Frank who tells him that the world will end in 28 days. Drew plays his teacher and her company, Flower Films, produced the film. Costumes were by April Ferry, who did Game of Thrones, Big Trouble in Little China, Jurassic World, the OG Child's Play, and so much more. There isn't a ton to discuss for costumes and looks but we spot a few gems!

Now, if you were alive when this movie came out, you probably remember how much of a mindf*** this was...and its cool and mysterious website companion.

We'll be back in February! In the meantime, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod and TikTok @fishnetflix.

Stephen King's Cat's Eye (1985) Dec 22, 2021

For this week’s Drewcember episode, the incredibly talented and hilarious writer, author, and co-host of I Saw What You Did Pod’s Danielle Henderson joins us for a real '80s throwback…Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye! Now listen…the costumes (which were by Clifford Capone) are no Ever After, but we do find some sartorial gems, like sleazy Donald Duck t-shirts and fancy robes. We also discuss how the troll in this movie has traumatized for decades, what kind of McDonald’s meal we’d have if we had our own Mariah menu, Marie and Danielle’s Rookie mag days, hot zaddies Clive Owen and Steve Guttenberg, Cabbage Patch Kids, and so much more. Plus, Blaire regales us with tales of demonic cats. It's a good time!

50 First Dates (2004) Dec 15, 2021

Drewcember continues with 50 First Dates, which stars our queen Drew Barrymore as an amnesiac living in her own personal Groundhog’s Day who falls in love with ladies man Adam Sandler. Costumes are by Clare Hallworth and Ellen Lutter, but as you can guess, any standout looks are few and far between. Still, we have a good time chatting about mesh tops, “dresses over jeans,” the Paul Rudd/Wilford Brimley meme, and movies that make Blaire “internally uncomfortable.” Question: Is 50 First Dates low-key a super sad film? Also, Marie makes a vow not to buy new clothes — or specifically, not to shop from SHEIN — in 2022.

Raise your hand if you remember a lil ol' movie from 1993 called Sliver. It starred Sharon Stone, fresh off the success of Basic Instinct, and Billy "William" Baldwin as a successful book editor and a trust fund f**kboi lurker who begin a torrid love affair when they meet as neighbors in a NYC high rise. There's murder, voyeurism, a Pearl Jam mention, and FASHION! We enlisted the brilliant film and fashion writer (and erotic thriller expert!), Abbey Bender, to join us for the episode to talk about Stone's KILLER looks, which were costumed by Deborah Lynn Scott (who won an Oscar for Titanic and did Avatar, Back to the Future, Who's That Girl and so much more). So put on some UB40 and join us for this wild, voyeuristic ride.

Mermaids Sep 28, 2021

"Please, God, don't let me fall in love and want to do disgusting things."

Happy Libra Season! We’re discussing the feel-good 1990’s film Mermaids, which stars Cher as a single mom to a teen Winona Ryder and lil’ Christina Ricci in early 1960s New England. Costumes were by the incredible Merit Allen who also did Eyes Wide Shut, La Vie En Rose, and The Witches, and who was also a fashion journalist and editor at British Vogue and icon of the Swinging Sixties era. Ryder’s Catholicism-obsessed character wears prudish Peter Pan collared shirts with knee-length skirts, while Cher is a brunette Peggy Bundy in capri pants, cha cha heels, polkadot dresses, and, of course, an iconic mermaid costume. We also talk about finger foods and have an impromptu segment about "Famous Slaps." Tune in now and dance around the kitchen with us!

Habit (2021) Sep 14, 2021

If a movie about LA party girls who pretend to be nuns that stars Mr. Gavin Rossdale and got backlash due to Paris Jackson portraying a "lesbian Jesus Christ" intrigues you, welcome to the show! Habit is pure microwaved camp, giving us Dolls Kill does Kill Bill. Aiii! While the movie probably won't win any Oscars anytime soon, we'd at least like to nominate the costumes! Designer Abigail Keever does a fab job with 60s, 70s, and 90s fashion references, with dem "nuns" in gogo boots, candy-colored lingerie, and a villain serving Cocaine Kacey Musgraves vibes. Glorious!

I Know Who Killed Me Aug 24, 2021

"She always felt like half a person. Half a person with half a soul." We’re closing out stripper month with the 2007 Lindsay Lohan cult classic I Know Who Killed Me (aka Parent Trappin’ per Blaire). Lohan plays a college student who is tortured by a sadistic serial killer, then when she is found, claims to be a stripper named Dakota. This movie has everything: Twin Peaks vibes, a decent amount of gore for horror heads, the woman who plays the nun in The Nun, an Art Bell cameo for Coast to Coast fans, two Real Housewives, and a Sphynx cat with big balls. Costumes by Rachel Sage Kunin (Jane the Virgin, Dallas).

What A Way to Go! Jul 28, 2021

Today on the pod, Blaire and Marie are discussing the iconic What A Way to Go,! which starred Shirley MacLaine as a four-time widow dressed to the nines, courtesy of thee Edith Head! Head was one of the most prolific costume designers of her time — a true legend, and this film was one of her best. We're talking over 72 costumes (including that head-2-toe pink number that was all over our Tumblr feeds back in the day), at a budget of over half a mil, with $3.5 million in Harry Winston bling. Just DE-GORGEOUS! We also discuss Blaire being accidentally babysat by Shirley MacLaine and Paul Newman's fine ass...

This movie may have gotten a 16% at Rotten Tomatoes, but it gets a 100% for costumes who are by Janie Bryant (Mad Men, Why Women Kill, It). But that's not all! None other than Todd Oldham is responsible for all of Sarah Michelle Gellar's looks!!! So grab yourself a plate of Crab Napoleon, sit back and relax, and enjoy the show.

Freeway Apr 13, 2021

We're celebrating our THIRD anniversary today with one of our all-time favorites, Freeway! The 1996 cult film stars Reese Witherspoon as a white trash Little Red Riding Hood who's trying to make it to her grandma's house when she goes head-to-head with a serial killer. It's trashy, violent, and incredibly offensive, but worth it to see Reese in the role of her life! The costumes (by Merrie Lawson) are scarce, but it's quality over quantity — they bring us right back to growing up as teens in SoCal. We discuss our love for Dickie's overalls (again), Sanrio wallets, seatbelt-belts, Eddie Furlong's Cameo, Blaire's piercing mishap, and the time Marie rolled over on top of John Stamos's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

Get your oversized patent leather belts out, because we’re going right back to 2009 with Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a NYC journalist with a serious shopping problem. In this episode, Blaire comes in hot with the tea. Also, discussion about the beauty of over-accessorizing and rejecting that Coco Chanel quote, glove thoughts, and Chet Hanx...The wildly colorful costumes are by Patricia Field (Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada)!

Slaxx Mar 22, 2021

Imagine a pair of jeans that automatically adapts to your shape...but actually wants to KILL you. That's the plot of Slaxx, a new horror movie about some literal killer...jeans. This isn't your typical Fishnet Flix film, meaning there aren't many outfits to talk about — but you know we love horror ova here, AND it's a movie about some murderous denim so we had to watch it!

Promising Young Woman Mar 17, 2021

We’ve got sumthin’ a little different this week. It’s a heavy, dark, revenge flick, but we PROMISE it’s a good one. The recently Oscar-nominated movie, Promising Young Woman, stars Carey Mulligan as Cassandra, a woman who goes out to a different bar or club each night, pretends to get completely knock-down, blackout drunk with the purpose of luring a “nice guy” to take her home. At first, you don’t think this is going to be a “costume movie,” but it's interesting how Cassandra dresses up in different “disguises'' whenever she's on the prowl — a sharp contrast to the pastel sweaters and dresses she wears during the daytime. Costumes are by Nancy Steiner who did Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides, and a ton more. Tune in now!

Coming 2 America Mar 08, 2021

It’s a very special day here on Fishnet Flix! We hit tha big 100, babys! And we’re celebrating our 100th episode with a trip back to Zamunda with Coming 2 America, the sequel to the 1998 Eddie Murphy comedy. Costumes are by our queen, Ruth E. Carter (Black Panther, B.A.P.S.), so you know there’s not a bad look in sight. We talk about our fave outfits, all the gold and animal-themed jewelry we’re adding to cart, and how we’ve come a long way since we started the pod (particularly, Blaire’s online shopping habit). Warning: we end the episode with a spontaneous and extremely chaotic Mini Brands unboxing.

Romeo + Juliet Feb 22, 2021

Where were you when you first saw Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio lock eyeballs through the fish tank in Romeo + Juliet? Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation of the Shakespearean teenage tragedy is a hyper-stylized fever dream that we’re STILL obsessing over 25 years later. Costume designer Kym Barrett (The Matrix trilogy, Us, Aquaman) put Danes in those iconic angel wings while dressing the rival Montague and Capulet boy-gangs in a perfect contradiction of Hawaiian shirts and D&G. The movie, the costumes, and the soundtrack still hold up.

Waiting To Exhale Feb 08, 2021

Today’s episode is on Waiting to Exhale, the Terry McMillan-novel-turned-1995 film starring the late, great Whitney Houston, alongside Angela Bassett, Lela Rochon, and Loretta Devine as four friends living in Phoenix Arizona, looking for love in alllll the wrong f***boys. It’s a movie filled with as many irresistible lines as there are costumes — from designer Judy L. Ruskin (Sleepless in Seattle, Bruce Almighty) that are somehow both timeless and deliciously ’90s at the same time. We won’t blame you if you start quoting the movie nonstop (esp. Bernadette's fire-setting monologue), or listen to the iconique soundtrack (which was produced by Babyface, and features Brandy, SWV, and, of course, Whitney) all week long.

We also discuss whether or not we should give The Wedding Planner another chance...

True Romance Feb 01, 2021

We’re kicking off Valentine’s month with the moment we’ve all been waiting for, an episode on True Romance, the 1993 Tarantino-scripted, Tony Scott-directed film about a comic book nerd and a call girl who fall in love and go on the run. Yes, we see Gary Oldman with his locs, leopard print robe, and Jamaican patois, but Patricia Arquette rocks Every. Single. Damn. Look. as Alabama Worley. The cute, quirky, fun, and timeless costumes are by Susan Becker (The Lost Boys! Father of the Bride!). We also get into a lot of fun tidbits about the movie, try to guess Alabama’s zodiac sign, and uncover some exciting news about that heart jacket we talked about in our past episode on Jennifer’s Body.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Jan 29, 2021

You know we couldn’t end Keanuary without Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure! While this 1989 movie may not be known for its costumes (especially as it takes place over just one day) the Bill and Ted look is easily recognizable, fun, and dare we say, relevant? The cropped sweatshirt look is definitely in these days, hello, Bill S. Preston, Esquire. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (Six Feet Under, Revenge, Preacher).

In this episode, we talk about how a fashion historian uses the brief Beethoven scene as a benchmark for all Regency-era movies and debate whether or not teens still use binders. Also, Blaire realizes she’s never seen the 1993 erotic thriller, Sliver.

Johnny Mnemonic Jan 11, 2021

It’s Keanuary! For our foray into the new year, we’re kicking things off with an entire month dedicated to forever hunk Keanu Reeves! Our first episode is on Johnny Mnemonic, a ‘90s cyberpunk thriller that takes place in the future, aka January 2021, during a time when a plague ravaged the world. Very surreal. In this ep, we also discover a treasure trove of movie costumes to purchase online and talk about all of the shows we’re watching and looking forward to this year. Costumes are by Olga Dimitrov.

Riding in Cars With Boys Dec 21, 2020

It's the third week of Drewcember and we're Riding in Cars With Boys. This one has Drew playing teen mom Beverly (based on an IRL story) and it mostly takes place in the '60s, so there's some cute looks from costume designer Cynthia Flynt (A League of Their Own, Preacher's Wife). Plus it co-stars Brittany Murphy and we're sad this is the only movie she and Drew did together since they have the best chemistry.

Boys on the Side Dec 14, 2020

For the second installment of Drewcember 2020, we’re doing Boys on the Side! Drew starred in this 1995 road trip, tearjerker of a movie alongside her longtime friend Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker. Drew’s outfits and hair in this movie exactly mirror her IRL style from the time ,which were a delight of course (even if the movie itself is questionable now).

Doppelganger Dec 07, 2020

Costume design by Kim Tillman (10 Things I Hate About You, Wild Things, Cougar Town). Tune in now for '90s flower dresses and sheer white tights galore, but more importantly, to help us make sense of this strange movie!

Addams Family Values Nov 26, 2020

It's a very special Thanksgiving episode! As per Fishnet Flix tradition, we're starting with a sequel: Addams Family Values, which we consider a holiday classic! Blaire and Marie discuss our favorite fashionably morbid fam, including a new addition, Joan Cusack as Debbie Jellinsky. Morticia may be aghast at her sartorial choices ("But, Debbie...pastels?") but we love the balance she brings to the traditional Addams goth palette. Costumes by the wonderful Theoni V. Aldredge, who dressed Moonstruck, Ghostbusters, The First Wives Club, and more. Tune in now!

The Craft: Legacy Nov 02, 2020

In this week’s episode (which is the final installment of our “Season of the Witch” series, we talk about our listeners’ movie-inspired Halloween costumes. Then, we discuss the new reboot of The Craft…and we’ve got a lot to say (warning: lots of spoilers)! If you listened to our episode of the original 1996 movie, you know that it meant a lot to us, so we don’t hold back on our general thoughts about The Craft: Legacy before going into the fashion. We talk about the special details that costume designer Avery Plewes (Ready or Not) put into each girl’s look (they were inspired by elements) and, by the end of the episode, play with the idea of doing a full month dedicated to Nic Cage.

Four Rooms Oct 30, 2020

We’re almost done with this month’s Season of the Witch series, but wanted to sneak in a special mini-episode! If you’ve ever seen the 1995 anthology film, Four Rooms, you know that there’s a segment directed by Allison Anders (Mi Vida Loca) about a coven of witches (including Madonna!) that gather in a hotel room on New Year’s Eve to resurrect their goddess, Diana. It’s short but sweet, and the costumes (by Susan L. Bertram and Mary Claire Hannan) are to die for. Blessed be!

Show notes:

Don't duct tape your boobs like Blaire did in the '90s...use Nue instead.

Howeva, we've gotta keep it real…there’s not too much to say about the costumes in this flick (hence the mini-ep), but who can resist a good ol’ Sister, Sister #TBT?

Blaire and Marie discuss the new reboots of The Craft and The Witches, tuxedo shirts, bolo ties, acid wash, "shenanigans," and praise Richie, the hilarious little brother played by Joshua John Miller (who should have gotten an Oscar for this role TBQH).
