Yet another time for me to exercise my reality tv brain and who better than Kara Berry?   I'm a superfan of her Bravo recaps  each week on Everyone's Business (but mine) Podcast  so I couldn't wait to find out where it all started. We get into Real World seasons being the lead in and where we fall now.  around 26:00 is the Bravo chat including RHOC being our gateway, forgotten Bravo shows we need released from the vault, thoughts on RHOA, Summer House, Vanderpump Rules, and why Kelly Cutrone needs to be on the new RHONY --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Fre ..read more

Yes, it's finally here. The day we are talking the 1991 hit and fashion foundational film, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. It's been a long time coming since this is my first official complete watch ( I know I'm ashamed, don't talk to me). Charles tells the story about how this is one of the building blocks of his film education, and for good reason.  I get into why no one told me me there was a c***y version of Mulder and Scully, why Rose Lindsey is best feminist icon, and just how worthless the rest of this family is besides Swell. Also touching on the  scary realities of the ..read more

It's that time again!  Dusting off one of our early episodes for a remix edition!  We're going back to Salt Lake City, Utah in the mid 80s to see what Stevo and Heroin Bob are up to. I really need no excuse to talk about this film again. Our first episode was during the pandemic so it's high time that I review one of my 'foundational' films again.  Mikey joined me on this one to talk about our love for Matthew Lillard, the outlandish and amazing fashion,  and the countless hilarious scenes and characters we meet along the way.  Off-topic rants include: more Scream talk ..read more

It's been a time but Jai is back with me to talk about the hot topics in fashion. We were going to do a runway collection review but there are so many news topics to chat about instead. Basically we talk on the phone about this anyway so why not have another random chit chat fashion episode?  We get into our thoughts on current fashion journalism, what's next for i-D and Nylon magazines, Alessandro Michele at Valentino, Dries leaving, and tons more Enjoy! ---  Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more ..read more

What is it about Christian Slater? He has the charm to basically almost carry anything. Well, Kuffs is a little known action comedy from 1992 that only really survives because of the magic of our lead character. Charles picked this one and it was a light refresher into why the 90s had such a diverse group of film genres.  We talk about the unexpected fashion we loved, just wonder what the hell this script was about, and take a look at the recent work of Slater and why this movie would have made a fun tv series. Off-topic rants include: my GOT watching progress, Real World: Hawaii, and I a ..read more

Vroom! I’m here on another solo adventure to talk about one of my foundational films, Gone in 60 Seconds. For me this movie had it all. An incredible cast, LA streets, and the CARS! For this episode I talk about my own history with loving cars, Angelina Jolie as Sway being the blueprint, and why Nic Cage will always reign supreme. Off-topic rants: my thoughts on the recent Crow trailer, comparisons to The Fast and The Furious, nu-metal and the importance of a driving soundtrack  ?️ --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture docu ..read more

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge] Well, welcome to the circus. Or otherwise known as one of the darkest, most fucked up, brilliant show from the early 00s called Nip/Tuck. At first anything around surgery was like a definite no but in college I got sucked in. Me and Mikey are suckers for shows like this and loved going back to just the pilot episode. We try to keep it pretty spoiler free in case you haven't seen the show but OMG. We get into Kimber's introduction, why we are annoyed with Julia, how Sean is such a bore in the start, Matt being like a red flag, an ..read more

OK, this was super chaotic and me and Jules basically went rogue and talked about random topics for over an hour... We get into our current Love is Blind thoughts, the memes of the Willy Wonka Experience, create our own internet family (Daddy, Mother, and babygirl), and we get into the weeds of Hollywood and the current state of the heartthrob actor. 0:00- 25:00 Love Is Blind talk Mentions:  Doja Cat at the VMAs : https://youtu.be/7WRZviRMYXA?si=tCrNGDB92Mmw89su Gwen Stefani- Luxurious https://youtu.be/mXFXwenVJg4?si=XX3qMrwfVU72a8fm   ---  Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and cultu ..read more

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge] This is the perfect example of 'never leave the house' and 'don't go descenting into unknown cave systems'. I wasn't sure what film to do so again I asked Charles for another suggestion. I have no idea what I did to deserve this because I literally sat cowering in fear in broad daylight watching this. Not only did it build masterful tension and take me on a journey I couldn't expect, but it broke barriers with an all female cast creating a horror film through spelunking and cave exploration. Me and Charles get into why we are im ..read more

Finally I've stepped into the world of David Cronenberg films. It really is fitting that the first one I see and review is Crash from 1996. It was both me and Charles' first watch and we were enthralled. The exploration of subcultures I always find fascinating and this certain was that. We talk about the physical reactions to car crashes, how James Spader is THAT one, and constantly remind you that it's not the same film as that abomination that won Best Picture in 2004.    off-topic rants include: who we would like to see in the film now, Christopher Meloni, Coen films, the history ..read more
