for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]This film is one that has always stuck with me. From the first time I saw it in the cinema, to the many years I owned it on DVD when I lived on the West Coast. It has been about 10 years since I've seen it and Mikey wanted to talk about it on the pod for June.Both of us were a crying mess for many reasons but this tragic and emotional story is history and everyone should watch it. While the story ends in a brutal assassination, there is much to be learned here about community and the importance of unity despite differences.Harvey Milk was an incredible leader and helped so many people and still does by having his mark on society. Being the first openly gay person to be elected to an official office and inspiration to many helped lay the groundwork in politics and the diversity we have today.Directed by Gus Van Sant, and incredibly acted by Sean Penn (who won an Oscar for his role) this whole community was brought to life on film and even endorsed and collaborated with Harvey's own friends and colleagues.We get into the history of getting this film made, how Sean Penn got into character, the personal connection of the wardrobe, and other facts from how the story played out in 1978.Off-topic rants: We are Here tv series, The Boys, and (again) why we need a 'Hottie' President--- GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE to the main Fashion Grunge Podcast feed on (mostly) 90s films!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

For years I was always freaked out when I saw the cover for the film, Leprechaun. I had it in my head that it was some weird twisted horrific tale and I had been saving it for the pod for this very moment. Needless to say I was so wrong and this movie was hilarious and I can't wait to see more of the series. Mikey is along on this episode as we laugh at the many quotes, hilarious transportation modes, and get into why Jennifer Aniston would like to pretend this film doesn't exist. ---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 join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

Yes, it's been a while and there is no more perfect film to return back to my routine than Paris, Texas from 1984.This is my first ever watch and it would be an understatement to say that it's been a long time since cinema has moved me the way this did. I always have seen stills and thought it was from a fashion shoot or a photo spread and to see these images in motion. It had me thinking of my own relationship with photography and how I adore the cinematography of Robby Müller.I get into how I was in the perfect place to absorb this , the overwhelming nature of the scope of the story, a strong third act, and fashion visuals that will stay with me for a while.*recorded August 2024 ---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 join the  Patreon! Host: Lauren @lauren_melanieFind more Fashion Grunge onLinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

Just a few weeks ago I connected with an old friend from back in my NY days. We quickly got on to how much we love The Real Housewives. Listen to me and my friend Callum, a creative arts therapist talk about the many dynamics of women from multiple cities in the franchise. It was great to get his perspective and we mainly talk about what we think is one of the current standouts, Salt Lake City. We give our rundown and opinion on the ladies, talk why RHONY means so much to us to this day, and how the show has evolved over the years for better or worse.Enjoy!---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 join the  Patreon! Guest: Callum @cultivatewithcal  | cultivatewithcal.comHosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter

If you can believe it I've gone my whole life without seeing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. This is yet another one to check off on the list of nostalgia watches. I remember watching the tv series in the first season but boy did this world really expand!

Well, it was high time we take a bite out of the second Jurassic Park movie of the 90s. Widely known as a far inferior sequel, (and they're right) but it was directed by Spielberg so how bad could it be? Me and Charles take the opportunity to tell you exactly how bad and just all the many reasons this was doomed from the start. There is no better co-host than Charles to talk about the films that electrified him as a youth seeing them multiple times in the theater. We talk the MANY differences from the novel to the screen, just how weird the whole daughter storyline was, and just why it fell apart as soon as they got off that island.---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 join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

I saw it in the cinema for New Years Day and it basically set the tone for my relationship with film in 2024.Me and Mikey are here to talk about how we loved this film and how we haven't seen anything like it. Emma Stone is just a standout and we talk about the evolution of her character and how the incredible costume design by Holly Waddington adds an entirely new level. We get into sooo much 'behind the scenes', the inventive and visceral music score, and we discuss our thoughts on the discourse around the film during the time of its release.off-topic rants include: MCU talk, Steve Buscemi, and why costume designers should dress me for hypothetical red carpet appearances*recorded May 2024---GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE to the main Fashion Grunge Podcast feed on (mostly) 90s films!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

During this episode I discovered a new genre: 'domestic friendship bi- thriller'. This is literally one of my favorite genres. In a film starring Rob Lowe giving Lifetime movie villain and (my baby) James Spader acting for his life it's bound to have some heat. Me and Charles talk about how they tried to make corporate language seductive, the amazing interiors of 80s apartments, and more talk of homoerotic thrillers.Off-topic rants include: Family Guy cutaways, The West Wing, Rob Lowe as the original himbo---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 join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie  & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

If you're at all still tapped into the Love Island world then you know these times are when things really amp up. After the Islanders leave the villa there are interviews, shade thrown back and forth, and all around chaos. Some may even say this is when the show actually starts. Now Ashley of Black Girl Film Club is back on the show as someone who is just as chronically online as me to talk about what's ALLEGEDLY* been going on since the finale. We talk through recent news of the JaNa and Kenny breakup, Nicolandria updates, 404 (Cierra) being weird, and what things production can do next year to address the litany of issues that seem to be springing up around this show lately.---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 join the  Patreon! Guest: Ashley of Black Girl Film Podcast @blackgirlfilmclub | Linktree | TwitterHost: Lauren @lauren_melanie Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge
