Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

For Mona May-MAY, we're doing Vamps, the 2012 movie about two BFF "vegetarian" vampires (played by Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter) who spend their days, er, nights going to goth clubs in New York. It is a lesser-known film...but the reunion between director Amy Heckerling, Silverstone, and Mona May since Clueless! Other topics in this episode include the Netflix series Halston, Cruel Summer, a wild tangent where Marie gets four different white comedian men confused and how we went to Target and Starbucks for the first time in over a year.

Finally, it’s time for our Clueless episode! It took us THREE years to do this movie, but we were waiting for the right time, which is now, during Mona May MAY! We enlisted friends of the pod, Alyssa Morin and Rachel Sanoff, to return and talk all things Bronson Alcott High with us. In the episode, we discuss the underrated style icon Amber, a She’s the Man connection, the origin of the baby tee, an impassioned discussion on the incorrect depiction of the Valley in the movie / LA traffic that only people from LA would probably care about (sorry), and all the outfits we love, of course. Tune in now! Follow Alyssa Morin on Instagram and read her work on E!

Get our your feather boas, because it's time for the second part of our interview with costume designer Mona May, who is behind the looks of Clueless and so many other faves! In the second installment of our interrogation with Mona, she talks to us about  importance of dressing secondary and background characters, kicking things off with a discussion about Jessica Alba and co.'s Barbie outfits in Never Been Kissed. She also talks about those DIVINE pastel satin looks the mean girls wore in Romy & Michele, the story behind Romy & Michele's famous reunion dresses, plus Zenon, Cheetah Girls, and House Bunny looks. We also discuss Mona May deep cuts like Just Say Julie and 3 Ninjas!

Happy Mona May-MAY! Order yourself a businesswoman special and get out your fluffy pen to take notes, because our queen, Clueless costume designer Mona May, has returned to the podcast to answer all of our questions! In this first installment of our two-part episode-slash-interrogation with Mona, she talks to us about the meaning behind Cher’s driving outfit, her homage to Pippi Longstocking, how she collaborates with hair and makeup to come up with the characters' looks, her love of chiffon, and so much more. She even addresses the “movie outfit repeats” that we and listeners have noticed, like the red jacket seen in both Romy & Michele and Scream. Tune in now!

It’s finally here! The most popular listener request: My Cousin Vinny! We got so many requests for this movie over the years, we had to give it to the Fishies! This 1992 comedy stars Joe Pesci as a lawyer from Brooklyn who tries to help two “yutes” when they get accused for murder in tha South. We get why you wanted us to do this one. THE LOOKS ARE ALIVE! Marisa Tomei’s outfits are poppin’ in every scene. However, let's not sleep on Mista Gambini himself — he’s got some good ones too! Hello, gothic cowboy daddy! We discuss Her iconic floral jumpsuit, pink Sony Cybershot cameras, Britney Spears’s favorite cheesy grits...Pet Semetary 2 (again), and more. Costumes by Carol Wood.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

We're celebrating our THIRD anniversary today with one of our all-time favorites, Freeway! 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 Cameo, Blaire's piercing mishap, and the time Marie rolled over on top of John Stamos's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

This month we’re celebrating Fishnet Flix’s third birthday (!), and to kick things off, we’ve got special guest Ali Segel, co-host of the Webcrawlers podcast! She’s here to talk about a real FF favorite: Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion! We’ve been saving this movie for a special moment and the time has come! We discuss everything from Coronavirus romance novels, the entrepreneurial, DIY spirit of Romy & Michele, Justin Theroux's fine ass, and, of course Mona May’s incredible costume work in the film.

Get your oversized patent leather belts out, because we’re going right back to 2009 with Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a NYC journalist with a serious shopping problem. In this episode, Blaire comes in hot with the tea. Also, discussion about the beauty of over-accessorizing and rejecting that Coco Chanel quote, glove thoughts, and Chet Hanx...The wildly colorful costumes are by Patricia Field (Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada)! Mentions and Sources Juicy Couture x Forever 21 collab Patricia Field's SATC collection Pat Field on Poshmark Patricia Field on Instyle  Patricia Field interview on Tongue in Chic Isla Fisher compared to Lucille Ball...

Imagine a pair of jeans that automatically adapts to your shape...but actually wants to KILL you. That's the plot of Slaxx, a new horror movie about some literal killer...jeans. This isn't your typical Fishnet Flix film, meaning there aren't many outfits to talk about — but you know we love horror ova here, AND it's a movie about some murderous denim so we had to watch it!  For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!
