Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

Are you in the mood for some grotesque glamour? Well, you’re in luck, because our latest episode is about the reboot of Roald Dahl’s The Witches! While Anne Hathaway taking on Angelica Houston’s iconic role as the Grand High Witch might be a tall order for some, you’ll agree that the costumes are a true feast for the eyes! Joanna Johnston (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Death Becomes Her) is the designer behind these bewitching looks. Listen to our witch episodes here: Practical Magic (1998) The Craft (1996)  Witches of Eastwick (1987) The Love Witch (2016) Teen Witch (1989) Hocus Pocus (1993) For visuals of the costumes, follow us on Instagram at @fishnetflixpod  DM or email your movie requests at info@fishnetflix.com!

Get ready for a real early-2000s Disney Channel flashback, Fishies! We’ve got a bite-sized episode on 2005’s Twitches, starring Tia and Tamera Mowry. Howeva, we've gotta keep it real…there’s not too much to say about the costumes in this flick (hence the mini-ep), but who can resist a good ol’ Sister, Sister #TBT? Imagine time-traveling back to a time of sheer tunics over flared jeans and wide, low-hanging belts…that's what you'll find in Twitches! Whether that frightens you or somehow thrills you, please DO enjoy. Listen to our "Season of the Witch" episode series here: Practical Magic (1998) The Craft (1996)  Witches of Eastwick (1987) The Love Witch (2016) Teen Witch (1989) Hocus Pocus (1993)

We’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 ruins the Disneyland Haunted Mansion during Halloween, while Blaire is a fan of all thing NBC. "This sounds like a betrayal," says Blaire.) Tune in now!

We’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 film)!
