Let’s buzz!! Crack open a cold can of Slice soda because we’re tuning into Slumber Party Massacre 2 to discuss the head-to-toe killer leather and colorful 1980s ‘fits designed by costume designer Nadine Reimers!

There is evil out there, and I'm gonna kick its ass! We’ve got a late ‘90s Halloween movie for y’all — Idle Hands!

We get into the [Devon] Sawassance and discuss his underrated, incredible performance in this movie. Hello, that hand acting? Oscar-worthy. We love you, Devon! We also discuss Seth Green as a ‘90s style icon, vintage bowling shirts, hesher style, and…Pornstar clothing (memba them?).

Did you know that costume designers, the majority of whom are women, are paid nearly 30 percent less than other, male-dominated creative department heads? Despite costume design being a pivotal part of storytelling in cinema, it has been historically dismissed as “women’s work,” leading to the artisans being underpaid and under-appreciated in their industry.  In this very special episode, we're covering the Pay Equity Now movement! Blaire chats with costume designers and friends of the pod, Ariyela Wald-Cohain and Whitney Anne Adams, who are co-chairs of the Costume Design Guild’s Pay Equity Steering Committee, about this important initiative. Tune in now and learn how to support costume designers' fight for pay parity, because without them, there would be no us! #CDGPayEquity #NakedWithoutUs Follow Pay Equity Now on Instagram Follow CDG Local 892 Ariyela Wald-Cohain on Instagram Whitney Anne Adams on Instagram and Tales from a Costume Designer Podcast https://deadline.com/2024/01/costume-designers-launch-equal-pay-campaign-parity-1235804822/
