  • 208: Watch the head. It's on kinda loose. | Idle Hands (1999) w/ Black Girl Film Club
    Nov 2 2025

    To close out the scary October month, we're talking a little known late 90s stoney comedy called Idle Hands. This time I've got Ashley and Britney of Black Girl Film Club to get more into this sub genre that we love. We get into how this became such a cult hit, the Devon Sawa of it all, and just how this really is a hidden gem of a film.

    Off-topic rants include: Jessica Alba, The Simpsons, Davey Havok of AFI

  • 207: Little girls shouldn't look for four leaf clovers. | Leprechaun (1993)
    Oct 26 2025

    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.

    Yep, it's finally the time to review the collections from 'Fashion Month'. Me and Jai were looking forward to so many debut collections and we get into most of them. From Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, Louise Trotter at Bottega, Jonathan Anderson for Dior, Glenn Martens for Margiela, etc..

    We also talk our personal faves of the season and some fails that just didn't quite measure up for us.

  • Back Track 021: Is four years a long time? | Paris, Texas (1984) [Patreon Preview]
    Oct 20 2025

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

    I'm back! 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

  • 206: GET OUT OF YOUR PANTS! | Tremors (1990)
    Oct 12 2025

    We're starting off October right with not really a spooky one but a classic sub genere of horror, creature features. Charles picked this one and he gives his rundown on reasons for his choice and I come into this not knowing anything but leaving with a strong appreciation for Kevin Bacon in cowboy attire.

    off topic rants: sequels, DVD sales numbers, cult movies and actors

  • ❄️ Going the distance w/ Callum on RHOSLC and our history w/ Real Housewives!
    Oct 10 2025

    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!

  • 205: You ooze, you lose. | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1995)
    Sep 30 2025

    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! Me and Mikey are back to talk the ultimate camp movie about mid 30s teens of Angel Grove that somehow everyone knows they are superheroes? We talk about the film being saved by a campy villain, the amazing fashion coordination, and our childhood memories of the tv series.

    off-topic rants include: commercials on streaming being a scam, Christopher Walken as Ivan Ooze?
