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 Ca...2021-04-1347 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastDangerous Liaisons“There’s a group of women who were raised by Mean Girls, and then there was the group raised by Dangerous Liaisons and Cruel Intentions,” says our co-host Blaire Bercy. The 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Costume design, which won! James Acheson’s gorgeous 17th century designs will blow your mind. Plus you get sex, scandal, and Keanu!

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. For visuals of the costumes, follow us on In...2021-01-1148 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastAddams Family ValuesIt'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! For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at...2020-11-2641 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastHocus PocusWe’re continuing with October's season of the witch series with Hocus Pocus (1993)! We discuss the Sanderson Sisters steeze, plus comfy fall sweaters and on-trend tie dye. Costumes are by the fabulous Mary Vogt, who did Batman Returns and Crazy Rich Asians. We also talk about what horror movies and spooky shows we’re watching this week (Haunting of Bly Manor, Exorcist III), how there are two different kinds of "Halloween people," and reminisce about our annual tradition of going to Halloween Horror Nights. We also butt heads about Nightmare Before Christmas (Marie agrees with Ryan Gosling that it ruin...2020-10-1245 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastTeen WitchWe’re getting witchy with it! For October, we’re doing all witch movies! First up is Teen Witch, the 1989 high school comedy which stars Robyn Lively as a nerdy teen who gets magickal powers on her sixteenth birthday. 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). Costumes by Judie C. Champion (and apparently Robyn Lively, who used a lot of her own clothing for the...2020-10-0541 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastShowgirls with Lenora ClaireTake that Ver-sayce dress out the closet, crack open a nice can of doggie chow, and get ready to...THRUST IT! We're talking about Showgirls (1995), and we enlisted a VERY special guest (and Showgirls expert) for the episode, the one and only, Lenora Claire! Listen to Lenora and Blaire reminisce about going to bar mitzvahs in the Valley and bond over their love of monkeys (they scare Marie) while we discuss the gorgeous bedazzled costumes and makeup seen on Nomi Malone and Crystal Connors. Plus, there's a Drew Barrymore Easter egg in the movie, and so much more! Costumes...2020-09-2155 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastI May Destroy YouWe've been WAITING to do an episode on I May Destroy You! Michaela Coel is one of the best creatives of our time, for real. Now that the season finale has aired here in the US, we wanted to talk about our love for the series, and, of course, the looks by costume designer Lynsey Moore. OBSESSED! Marie might even buy a pair of jeans, that's how serious we are about the fashions. Also, Blaire has a wild theory about the show. Show notes: Lynsey Moore's Instagram where she gives loads of details on the l...2020-08-2736 minMakeover Montage: A Fashion in Film PodcastMini Ep: The Umbrella AcademyIt's time for our second mini-episode, and this one is for all of the Umbrella Academy fans out there!

Plus, Blaire talks about her My Chemical Romance fandom. Got a request for a mini-episode or a general movie request?

This 1988 classic comedy is not only blessed by Murphy’s comedic genius, but also Deborah Landis’s costume mastery. Blaire and Marie fawn over the extravagant fur shawls, gold lace gowns, and oversized scrunchies before the episode goes off the rails and they start talking about aliens, Glenn Danzig, and Blaire’s (new) online shopping habit.
