  • Love Island USA: Men be lying. | Season 7 Eps 1-4
    Jun 7 2025

    📲 I'VE GOT A TEXT!

    Yes, that's right it's Love Island USA Season baby! Since I had so much fun last year covering my favorite summer trash tv show I figured I'd be back to start from the beginning this time. This is only the first week so we're expecting escalating problems on the horizon. I get into the first impressions of the OGs, why I got my detective eye on Jeremiah and Nic, and how Huda needs to cool it.

    New recaps up every Saturday! 🏝️

    Jun 1 2025

    It's time to dive into the 90s cyber world of viruses and malware with Sandra Bullock? Yes, we're talking The Net from 1995 and I've got a special guest, Dustin back on the pod. I have never seen this so get my first time review of this surprisingly good cat and mouse mystery thriller that kept me guessing until the very end.

    We get into other cyber-related films of the 90s, the awesomely current 'Gap' fashion, and vacation behavior.

  • 200: And that's why you elected me.... Jury Foreman. | Jury Duty (1995)
    May 25 2025

    Charles is back on the pod! And what better way then to talk about one of the most revolutionary films of the 90s, Jury Duty starring Pauly Shore. It's been a while since our Son in Law episode so we talk again about how Pauly Shore is a goddamn national treasure. We get into the many layers of this film and potentially why it has a coveted 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    I realize that I find the fashion in this film amazing but the quotes are legendary.

    Off-topic rants: our Robert DeNiro in 'Cape Fear' obsession, other famous court trials, The Amazing Race as a relationship test

  • Back Track 019: I am the Earth Mother and you are all flops. | Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) [Patreon Preview]
    May 11 2025

    for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

    What a WILD ride. This was Charles' pick for the 'Back Track' series this month. It had been a while since we explored the classics and this certainly is nothing short of a perfect film. There are so many moments that will remain in my head forever and I've never seen acting like this in my life.

    This being my first Liz Taylor and Richard Burton film, I was beyond transfixed. With just a four person cast, there are so many ebbs and flows and the story structure and verbage throughout was was just insane in the best way,

    Off-Topic rants include: other casting possibilities, Kirsten Dunst, the Simpsons, and dramatic readings throughout

  • You, Me, and 5 Bucks 021: a chat on the erotic thriller genre w/ @90svalley
    Apr 27 2025

    I'm so very excited to talk to the person behind one of my fav accounts on instagram, @90svalley. Most of the time I feel like what they post is right on my wavelength at the time. We both love the erotic thriller movies of the 80s and 90s. Of course we had to get straight into our faves and what we think of where the genre is now and what it needs to do going forward. The topics of Sam Levinson, Gen Z and Millennials, and the directors that we love among tons of other things!

    Enjoy!
