  1. Episode · Sep 8, 2026

    House of Gucci- Where was the camp? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    We both came into this viewing expecting to have a fun time with a big over the top story. And came away from it being confused as to where all the fun was. Perhaps not our favorite, or anywhere close, this season. But, there were still some fun 1980's looks to be had, and it sparked a lot of discussion about how a designer cannot save a movie that doesn't know what it's trying to be. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11214590/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_house%20of%20gucci%20 Music: Cassette

  2. Episode · Sep 1, 2026

    Last Night in Soho- Engulfed in Flames (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This movie is a wild and creepy ride of visual storytelling. There's so much to see and love, and so much to hate and fear. A perfect combination. Follow us into the lucid dream if you dare. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9639470/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_last%20night%20in%20soho Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

    Cruella- A New Movie Every 20 Minutes (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    We're back after a mini-interruption, but we've got just the thing you've been waiting for. This movie has everything because it was constantly changing course and focus, it's like 10 movies in 1! The movie itself, and the behind-the-scene machinations, both ask the same question- how much credit (and money) should the people get who REALLY design the iconic looks? A little food for thought: https://variety.com/2021/artisans/global/cruella-costume-designers-licensing-disney-jenny-beavan-12349866

    Ocean's 8- For Women it's Business (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    We're getting real heisty over here. This movie sees a certain number of women with a certain set of skills obtain a certain amount of things. And the fashion looks while doing all that are impeccable and so character driven. This movie explores how the right outfit at the right time can make you stand out or blend in, whichever is most useful for crimes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5164214/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_oceans%208 Music: Cassette Deck by Basektcase

    The Devil Wears Prada- Sometimes, Everyone is Wrong (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    It's THE movie about fashion. That's all. *Also sorry for some extremely vocal birds about 5 minutes in that stick around for a few minutes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_devil%20wear Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase
