This one was heavy. It's been a while since I've seen this film and it's been on my list to review. In a complete perfect casting that really gives such dimension to a difficult story to tell.

It's time to go forward to go back in time as Charles says. For the next 'Back Track' in the series we're talking Alien (1979).  This is my first time watching this and boy was I missing out all these years! I was really into it and I'm so glad Charles decided on this one. We talk about the story and how incredible these special effects are, the steady terrifying pacing throughout, and why Sigourney Weaver is the ultimate final girl in space and time.

Another film that is easily in my top tier and we haven't reviewed it until now!  Ugh, this movie is kinda gross and amazing at the same time. Me and Jai talk our weird feelings about parts of the story during our recent rewatch, literally FREAK OUT over the fashion, and realize this is Brittany Murphy's movie. off-topic rants include: banned music videos, drug cinema, American Apparel and more indie sleaze talk --- Get OVER 60 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Follow Fashion Grunge Podcast Instagram @fashiongrungepod Twitter @fgrungepod Letterboxd Fashion Grunge Podcast TikTok @fashiongrungepod

This was an intense one. Full of so many emotions and ups and downs throughout. I'm so glad I watched this film with fresh eyes, it has been at least 20 years. I hope more people out there will watch and realize the magic that is, Set It Off from '96.  We get into many different points of this story and how the performances by all four leads should have gotten all the awards. Me and Charles also talk interesting behind the scenes info, I obsess about the fashion, and we get into the social commentary that is still relevant 26 years later. ---  Get OVER 60 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

This is one that has been on my list for a while. It's a dicey late 90s film which were popular at the time. Mikey has some interesting thoughts as a first time watcher and for me this has a whole nostalgia factor since it reminds me of high school.  We get into the concept of gossip today and how it's now currency, the moody fashion, and the soundtrack that screams buy me at 'Tower Records'.  Off-topic rants include: cell phones, Craig David, and Spice World ---  Get OVER 60 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Both me and Jai were so excited that a mini-series was being made about the Sex Pistols. Who else could possibly capture the chaotic spirit and the energy of London in the 70s but Danny Boyle?  All 6 episodes are out now on Hulu (US) but we're just talking the first one for now.  We touch on how perfect this series captures the scene in London, the fashion being on POINT, and the recent comments about the series by Johnny Rotten.

CINEMA. That is all. The Birdcage has been one of my favorite films growing up and the only people who could share that emotion are Mikey and Charles. So get ready for tons of impressions, personal stories, and our blind rage at the fact this didn't win all the Oscars in '96. off topic rants include: Seinfeld, Love Island UK, and The English Patient ---  Get OVER 60 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Within 10 minutes of watching this film I could quote it by heart. It has been at least 10 years since I've seen it and it still has the same effect all these years later. What a refreshing film filled with heartwarming friendships, broken hearts, and one of the best ensemble casts!  Me and Mikey are massive fans and talk our many favorite euphemisms, THAT Jennifer Coolidge cameo, and we play an interesting gam of "Who would you kick out of bed?" off-topic rants: Queer as Folk, our youth in the nightclubs, first tv crushes --- Get OVER 60 BONUS episodes on 90s/00s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It's like someone took bits from my 17 yr old cynical brain when writing this film. This is my second time watching it and I try to work out why I didn't like it the first time. Jules is the total authority on this film so it has been on the list to review for a while.  We chat about the crazy weird story, why we worship Steve Buscemi, and the FASHION! off-topic rants: quirk cinema of the 2000s, how I started watching The OC, how Jules is still searching for THAT top in 10 Things I Hate About You, and record collectors --- Get 60 + BONUS episodes on 90s TV (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It's been more than time to reach out to other 90s heads out there. This is my first venture in interviewing and I just had to talk with Brandon who runs the instagram account, @1990archives  We get into our fave 90s bands and fashion era/brands, why MTV needs more than a reboot, and how he gathers info on the 90s scene for his page.

What a film. This is cinema. It was amazing to finally take this in the way it should be. Me and Charles were completely hypnotized for the first 30 minutes and had so many first thoughts. We got into other casting options, the travesty at the 1977 Oscars, the fashion (specifically Betsy), and how this music score was top notch. Off- Topic rants include: old hollywood man candy, Martha Stewart & Cybill Shepherd beef, Meryl Streep, women focused 90s sitcoms --- Get over 60 BONUS episodes on 90s TV (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, Buffy, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5/month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Finally we're talking a film from the 90s that created a sub-genre all its own, Pulp Fiction. While you may remember the poster of this film being in every dorm room for 20 years, I remember that iconic Bob from Mia Wallace and the Royale with cheese.  Since Me, Charles, and Jai are big Tarantino fans we had a super blast finally talking this pop culture staple of cinema. We get into the LONG list of actors who tried out for various parts, the subtle but important fashion moments, and I started crying realizing Jack Rabbit Slim's isn't a real place.  Off-topic rants include: the controversy in Charles' life over this soundtrack, parental choices, why I didn't see many 80s movies --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Wow. What a film. There really must have been something going on in 1999, because so many great films were released that year. Me and Jai touched on so many aspects that we loved including the cinematography, directing, and every stitch of the fashion. And we talked about that neon swimsuit.  Off-topic rants include: Val Kilmer, the casting process, Seinfeld --- Get OVER 50 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s documentaries, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON for $5 a month! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

What a wild ride this movie was! I love the music/record industry storylines of 90s movies. This one was sooo ridiculous and hilarious and made me love Brendan Fraser even more than I already do.  Me and Jules went a bit off the rails with our music biz talk and basically pointing out how everything isn't as easy as getting your single on the radio anymore. We get into the FASHION (yep), the other casting possibilities, and why men need to start wearing crop tops again. Off-topic rants include: the unspoken rules of submitting demo tapes, the death of the movie soundtrack, and other outlaw rockstars. --- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, and more...) and to support the show, join the PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Yes, we're finally chatting the sequel to Trainspotting (1996) for our 'Forward Flash' episode!  We had such a blast talking this film, it's probably one of the only sequels that actually holds up to the original and is an utter delight. Me and Jai point out how the characters changed in 20 years and the many nods to the original. The soundtrack, understated fashion, and the update to 'choose life'.
