We are absolutely thrilled to have the fabulous Bri Luna of The Hoodwitch on the podcast today to talk about one of her favorite movies, She-Devil! The 1989 flick stars Roseanne Barr as a jilted housewife who devises a long-con revenge on her cheating husband and the romance novelist who stole him (Meryl Streep in one of her most underrated roles). Costume designer Albert Wolsky takes the characters through a fantastical voyage of clothes, beginning with caricatures of extreme femininity and stereotypes of the forgotten housewife, then into a transformation that is both sartorial and spiritual. It’s a makeover like no other! Bri opens our eyes to the movie’s many unseen layers: looking at it through a magickal lens, and how the two main characters can be interpreted as Lilith and Eve. It’s so much more about revenge (one of our favorite genres); it also explores the dichotomy of womanhood, female repression and oppression, and the power of the underdog. You're going to want to eat an eclair in the bathtub while you tune into this extremely Taurus, Libra, and Scorpio-esque movie now!

We’re shaking things up today with a surprise music video minisode! This time, we’re taking it back to 1996 with the one and only Baby Girl, Aaliyah. "If Your Girl Only Knew,” penned by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, was the first single off her sophomore album, One in a Million. Blaire breaks down this transformative era in Aaliyah’s career, and how this video was a true makeover moment for Aaliyah in more ways than one. On the fashion side, she began to come into her own sense of style, pairing her signature tomboy vibe with midriff tops and belly chains. Then, Marie talks about how stylist David De La Cruz fitted Aaliyah in a leather motorcycle mama look, and the crème de la crème accessory, the Vivienne Westwood armor ring, which is, of course, a serious obsession on this pod.

Big news! It’s our last episode as Fishnet Flix, so we’ll be taking a break for the month to gear up for our relaunch and new name. But before we go, we’re putting another late ‘90s teen thriller notch in our belts with Teaching Mrs. Tingle. First and foremost, in this episode we learn that Blaire is, in fact, a Teaching Mrs. Tingle scholar. Costume designer Susie DeSanto put Katie Holmes in goodie-two-shoes button up shirts and Helen Mirren in brilliantly tailored blazers and silk pajamas.  Marie peruses eBay and finds tons of screen worn costumes from some of our favorite flicks, and we also talk about Dame Helen Mirren’s penchant for stripper shoes, Aerosmith’s iconic Get a Grip music video era, and predicting characters’ zodiac signs.

“Sounds razor.” We’re continuing our theme of late ‘90s high school thrillers and diving into 1998’s Disturbing Behavior, which is about a group of teenage outcasts who uncover a mind control conspiracy at their high school. Blaire put her fake nose ring in for this episode to celebrate the film’s grunge style icon, Katie Holmes! Costumes by Trish Keating, who also costumed some of our faves, like Mother, May I Sleep With Danger, Bordello of Blood, and The Amy Fisher Story starring Drew Barrymore (PS. we did a Drewcember on it!). Listen to us discuss the various cliques of Cradle Bay High, and Katie Holmes's first foray into bad-girl territory, aka her role as “Cook’s Ridge trash!”, a departure from her Dawson’s Creek girl-next-door character. We also talk about our shared Obsess Much for the week: the TV series, Swarm!
