Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

You know we couldn't end Keanuary without Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! While this 1989 movie may not be known for its costumes (especially as it takes place over just one day) the Bill and Ted look is easily recognizable, fun, and dare we say, relevant? The cropped sweatshirt look is definitely in these days, hello, Bill S. Preston, Esquire. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (Six Feet Under, Revenge, Preacher). In this episode, we talk about how a fashion historian uses the brief Beethoven scene as a benchmark for all Regency-era movies and debate whether or not teens still use binders. Also, Blaire realizes she's never seen the 1993 erotic thriller, Sliver.

Riding in Cars With Boys

It's the third week of Drewcember and we're Riding in Cars With Boys. This one has Drew playing teen mom Beverly (based on an IRL story) and it mostly takes place in the '60s, so there's some cute looks from costume designer Cynthia Flynt (A League of Their Own, Preacher's Wife). Plus it co-stars Brittany Murphy and we're sad this is the only movie she and Drew did together since they have the best chemistry. For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

Drew starred in this 1995 road trip, tearjerker of a movie alongside her longtime friend Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker. Drew's outfits and hair in this movie exactly mirror her IRL style from the time ,which were a delight of course (even if the movie itself is questionable now). Costumes by Gloria Gresham (When Harry Met Sally, Footloose, Twins). For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

Addams Family Values

It'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 @fishnetflixpod.
