Edward Scissorhands (1990)
We’re getting into the holiday spirit with Edward Scissorhands, a movie that Blaire swore we would never do on this podcast because It Is Sad. But how could we not do this iconic Tim Burton movie and celebrate the costumes by the legendary Colleen Atwood? Tune in to hear us discuss all of our favorite looks, from Edward’s leather daddy ‘fit to the sweet matching sets Winona Ryder wears in the film, plus the over-the-top wigs, buff Danny Elfman, and more.

200 Cigarettes (1999)
Break out the crab dip, baby! November may have just begun, but we’ve already got our minds on New Year’s Eve—specifically 1982, when a little ol’ movie called 200 Cigarettes took place. The movie came out in 1999 and featured numerous familiar faces, many who were just lil baby celebrities at the time (Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, Ben Affleck, Courtney Love, Paul Rudd, and SO many more). We follow all of the characters during one fateful NYE night as they make their way across New York City to get to a party. The ‘fits are FAB and costumed by thee Susan Lyall who we talked about in our Empire Records and also did Molly’s Game, the Trial of the Chicago 7, Being the Ricardos, and more. Listen, if you’ve ever found yourself compelled to don leopard print, or a furry coat, tights and heels as a New Year’s Eve outfit, this movie might have been why. Off topic rambles include the Mothman (hit Marie up if you are a Mothman luva), the Jeepers Creepers man…excuse me, but how did he get a personalized license plate?, lesser known early aughts teen thrillers (hint: we MAY have a themed month on the docket), and we butt heads over imitation crab. Fun all around!

The Invitation (2022)
To close out Vampire Month here on Fishnet Flix, we’ve got a new gothic romance film in the lineup, and one that will no doubt inspire some new fangbangers to come out of the woodwork. The Invitation (2022) is about Evie (Nathalie Emmanuel), a New Yorker who finds out she has long-lost family members so she travels to the English countryside to meet them. There, she also meets the hunkety-hunk lord of the manor, Mista Walter De Ville (Thomas Doherty). As Evie eases into her British aristocratic surroundings, her outfits go cool, artsy, NYC-funky to stunningly elaborate, thanks to costume designer Danielle Knox. Spoiler: We loved them all! The movie is described in one review as one part Get Out, one part Ready or Not, and one part Dracula, so if that also tickles your fang-cy, give it a watch and tune into our episode! Obsess Much includes the new Interview With the Vampire TV show and the new M3GAN trailer with her killer moves. We also discuss our favorite Spice Girl, Lodge 49 (RIP), the baseless rumors of a Death Becomes Her remake with Lady Gaga, horn out over Thomas Doherty, then discover that he's Harry Hook from The Descendants, and declare that IF "they" ever dare try to remake Witches of Eastwick, he'd make the perfect Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson's devilish role).

Blade (1998)
Get ready for the Blood Rave! For our latest Vampire Month episode, we’re discussing Blade! Wesley Snipes stars as the half-vampire, half-human superhero in this 1998 film, and proves that nobody looks as good in a black trenchcoat and sunglasses as he does (that is, until Keanu appeared in The Matrix the following year). We’re breaking down the badass costumes by Sanja Hays, who did the Fast and the Furious movies, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and so many others. We also discuss sadistic haunted houses, the new Hellraiser, weird dreams about Robert Pattinson, and more.

Do Revenge (2022)
Surprise, bitches, it's a bonus ep! Marie and Blaire are radiating some serious Glennergy right now because they are in love with Do Revenge. The new Netflix movie stars Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke as two teens who decide to perform the other’s revenge, Strangers on a Train style. It has been a while since we watched a brand-new film that TRULY embodies the Fishnet Flix spirit, and Do Revenge is it. We were overwhelmed with the amount of jaw-dropping looks in this movie, which were designed by Alana Morshead. Do Revenge is a whole package, from the costumes, to the writing, to the soundtrack, we’re giving it two thumbs up and a rewind. It’s jam-packed with ‘90s movie Easter eggs, homages, and references from top to bottom in a fun (and non-annoying) way. Ancient millennials approved! 10 outta 10, baby!
