Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

Welcome back to the show! We're kicking off our new era as Makeover Montage with a real gem: Miss Congeniality. The 2000 comedy stars our girl Sandra Bullock as a special agent who has to step into the (high) heels of a beauty pageant contestant to track down a serial bomber. Costume design is by Susie DeSanto (13 Going on 30, Bad Girls, Nashville). We talk about the famous lavender Hervé Léger bandage dress that Sandra wears the moment she transforms into Gracie Lou Freebush, as well as other favorite looks like her dirndl dress and business boudoir, kill-your-husband robe. Other topics include the epic, military-level makeover montage scene and pageant secrets. Plus, Marie guesses Gracie's zodiac sign for our new segment, and Blaire talks about her obsession with Make it Mini foods.

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.

"I'm not an alien. I'm discontent." We're talking about one of our favorite '90s teen thrillers, The Faculty! In this Robert Rodriguez-directed and Kevin Williamson-written film, Aliens begin taking over a small town high school, Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style! The cast includes Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, Clea Duvall, Usher, and more. Costumes are by Emmy award-winning costume designer Michael T. Boyd, but let's be real, The Faculty is a whole ass commercial for Tommy Hilfiger... We discuss Usher's lawsuit against the fashion brand, Josh Hartnett's iconic hair, the fake gothery of it all, and the entertaining trope of fake drug names in movies. Blaire talks abut how she'd handle being locked away and Marie works through her trauma about all the Tommy Hilfiger in the film. It's a real journey up in here!

It's She's All That time! In this 1999 classic, cool guy on campus Zach (Freddie Prinze Jr.) makes a bet (with a young Paul Walker, RIP!) that he can turn any girl at school into a prom queen, even an artsy weirdo like Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook). Hilarity, synchronized dances, and romance ensues. This movie is a treasure trove of fun facts, a memorable cast, and stylish outfits, courtesy of Denise Wingate (Cruel Intentions, Daisy Jones & the Six). Join us as we break down Laney's makeover looks, talk about that "Kill All Artists" tee, crafting pita hats, reminisce about shopping on Melrose in the 90s/2000s, debate over the real way to wear a Jansport backpack, and more.

Frost yourself! We're discussing the quintessential rom-com, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. We talk about costume designer Karen Patch's (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Bride Wars) fabulous work in the film, and how she put Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) in 2000s businesswear chic, an 84-carat yellow diamond necklace and, of course, that show-stopping yellow Carolina Herrera number. We also discuss getting horn for Pedro Pascal, leading man charisma, and the show Truth Be Told. Marie talks about getting triggered by both Andie's service journalism and rewatching Girls, and Blaire gives How to Lose a Guy a rating of "4 out of 5 magical crabs."
