Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

To finish October, we’re talking about 2000's Ginger Snaps on the pod this week! The film, which Marie describes as the Canadian precursor to Jennifer’s Body, is about two sisters named Ginger and Brigitte who are super close (and super angsty!). One day, Ginger gets her period for the first time, AND bit by a werewolf, and becomes a real ravenous b****! There are a lot of parallels between this and Jennifer's Body, such as the opposites-attract dynamic between the sisters, the blood-hungry transformation, and even the makeover moment reveal that happens during an iconic slow-motion, walking down the hallway scene. Costume designer Lea Carlson put Ginger and Brigitte in oversized cardigans, maxi skirts, thin choker necklaces, and animal skull jewelry. Forgot Gilmore Girls fall fashion, it’s all about Ginger Snaps werewolf-girl style! We also talk about House of Usher Raymond and the Y2Kills exhibit at Mystic Museum in LA, and we reminisce about going to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Night back in the day. Plus, Blaire makes an excellent case for more 'goth moms' in movies.

Keeping with our October whores4horror theme, this episode is on the feminist horror flick Run Sweetheart Run, one of Blaire’s faves! Cherie (Ella Balinska) is a single mom and secretary at an LA law firm who has to go to dinner with her boss’ client. Sure, he may be hot and rich, but he’s actually a bloodthirsty demon who chases her all around the city. Dating in LA is hard! Costume designer Nadine Haders used touches of symbolic red throughout the film and other interesting choices, like a decorated military jacket and karate suits. Other things we discuss? Oh, just the great Hoe Bag vs. Slut Kit debate, men in gray sweatpants, and Blaire reminisces about her interesting night at Schwartz and Sandy’s (for all your Vanderpump peeps). Tune in, now!

What are you waiting for?! The next installment of Marie and Blaire's horror faves for October is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with costume design by Catherine Adair (Desperate Housewives, Fate: The Winx Saga, Perry Mason). We've already done the sequel (as we sometimes go backward on this here pod), but now is the time to celebrate our Croaker Queen Helen Shivers's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) totally modern cut-out dress and sophisticated New York-inspired 'fits. We also talk about Julie's (Jennifer Love Hewitt) cozy sweaters, crop tops, and Paddington Bear hat, Barry's (Ryan Philippe) preppy sweaters, the '90s trend of dog tag necklaces and military fatigues, and the risks of wearing tons of jewelry when you have a vengeful, hook-swinging killer on the loose. Then for Cosmic Costumes, Marie tries to analyze Helen and Julie's sun signs. Other topics of discussion include Marie’s week of being Ms. Goop Paltrow, her 24-hour trip to see Lady Gaga sing jazz in Las Vegas, and her psychic medium reading, while Blaire clears up the difference between Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel, and makes a case for all of us to watch a movie called "The VelociPastor."

The costumes are by the Oscar-winner Lizzy Gardiner (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Mission Impossible II, Ticket to Paradise), and while there aren’t a ton of looks, they looked DAMN GOOD.

Pearl movie fans, get ready! We had the pleasure of having the extremely talented costume designer Malgosia Turzanska on the pod to discuss her incredible work! We get into the nitty gritty of The Green Knight, which has the most breathtaking, intricate costumes, and she talks about the witchy inscriptions she included in the garments, as well as working with interesting vegan leathers. And yes, she’s also behind the costumes in Ti West’s X and Pearl, and tells us all about creating Mia Goth’s iconique, Halloween-ready looks for both. Malgosia also talks about what it’s like having to designer for horror movies when she normally doesn’t watch them, having to set up her “little hot dog stand” to craft a fake peen for X, and so much more. It’s such a fun episode, so tune in!

Costume designer Christina Flannery joins us to talk about her work on The Righteous Gemstones season 3! She gives us all the deets about jumping off from the established blueprint created by season 1 & 2 costume designer Sarah Trost (who we had on the pod before!) and how she added in her own magic for this season. That magic, ahem, includes a watermelon jumpsuit, Smut Buster t-shirts, intricate Cape and Pistol uniforms, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it racetrack necklace on Judy, Hype Priest wizardry, dressing Uncle Baby Billy in the most GLORIOUS oyster-inspired performance ensemble, and even a JNCOS cameo, baby! If you're not watching The Righteous Gemstones this season, just WHAT are you doing with your life, babys?! Christina also talks about her work on the movies Fresh (you know we love that one!) and Cam, and the TV series The Chi. She also tell us about the time Sebastian Stan changed in her backyard, and the vintage shop she used to own, and then tells us where to cop the best discount Gucci. Get those ears ready and tune in!
