Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

You know we couldn't end Keanuary without Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! While this 1989 movie may not be known for its costumes (especially as it takes place over just one day) the Bill and Ted look is easily recognizable, fun, and dare we say, relevant? The cropped sweatshirt look is definitely in these days, hello, Bill S. Preston, Esquire. Costumes are by Jill M. Ohanneson (Six Feet Under, Revenge, Preacher).

In this episode, we talk about how a fashion historian uses the brief Beethoven scene as a benchmark for all Regency-era movies and debate whether or not teens still use binders. Also, Blaire realizes she's never seen the 1993 erotic thriller, Sliver.

"There's a group of women who were raised by Mean Girls, and then there was the group raised by Dangerous Liaisons and Cruel Intentions," says our co-host Blaire Bercy. The 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Costume design, which won! James Acheson's gorgeous 17th century designs will blow your mind. Plus you get sex, scandal, and Keanu!

Get ready to get goth! Today's Keanuary episode is about Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film that stars our beloved Keanu as a man who gets cucked by DRACUL himself. The costumes, which are by Eiko Ishioka (who won an Oscar for them!), will blow your mind. Serpent dresses, golden kabuki-style robes, armadillo-inspired armor. Enjoy!

It's Keanuary! For our foray into the new year, we're kicking things off with an entire month dedicated to forever hunk Keanu Reeves! Our first episode is on Johnny Mnemonic, a '90s cyberpunk thriller that takes place in the future, aka January 2021, during a time when a plague ravaged the world. Very surreal. In this ep, we also discover a treasure trove of movie costumes to purchase online and talk about all of the shows we're watching and looking forward to this year. Costumes are by Olga Dimitrov.

LAST EPISODE OF 2020! Break out your leather chaps and cottagecore nap dresses and be inspired by the fashion in Bad Girls (1994). Our final film for Drewcember has our shero running from the law with the rest of the "Honky-Tonk Harlots" in the Wild West. YEEHAW, BABY! Costumes by Susie DeSanto who did 13 Going on 30, Nashville, Miss Congeniality and more.

It's the third week of Drewcember and we're Riding in Cars With Boys. This one has Drew playing teen mom Beverly (based on an IRL story) and it mostly takes place in the '60s, so there's some cute looks from costume designer Cynthia Flynt (A League of Their Own, Preacher's Wife). Plus it co-stars Brittany Murphy and we're sad this is the only movie she and Drew did together since they have the best chemistry.

For the second installment of Drewcember 2020, we're doing Boys on the Side! Drew starred in this 1995 road trip, tearjerker of a movie alongside her longtime friend Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker. Drew's outfits and hair in this movie exactly mirror her IRL style from the time ,which were a delight of course (even if the movie itself is questionable now). Costumes by Gloria Gresham (When Harry Met Sally, Footloose, Twins).

We're kicking off our third annual Drewcember with a WILD CARD...Doppelganger! This weird, lesser-known film from 1993 film stars our shero, Drew Barrymore, as a woman named Holly Gooding who moves to LA and claims she's being haunted by her evil, murderous doppelganger! Costume design by Kim Tillman (10 Things I Hate About You, Wild Things, Cougar Town). Tune in now for '90s flower dresses and sheer white tights galore, but more importantly, to help us make sense of this strange movie!

Friend of the pod Stephanie Montes is back with the best movie request, Hustlers (2019)! Since Steph is the founder and CEO of the boob tape brand NUE, we had to do a movie that has plenty of cleavage! Hustlers is THICC with loads of incredible 2010s stripper chic looks, thanks to costume designer Mitchell Travers. Tune in now to hear us talk about how pole dancing should be an Olympic sport, Steph's old job as a go-go dancer, our favorite looks from the film, and so much more. It's a good one, Fishies!

It's a very special Thanksgiving episode! As per Fishnet Flix tradition, we're starting with a sequel: Addams Family Values, which we consider a holiday classic! Blaire and Marie discuss our favorite fashionably morbid fam, including a new addition, Joan Cusack as Debbie Jellinsky. Morticia may be aghast at her sartorial choices ("But, Debbie...pastels?") but we love the balance she brings to the traditional Addams goth palette. Costumes by the wonderful Theoni V. Aldredge, who dressed Moonstruck, Ghostbusters, The First Wives Club, and more. Tune in now!
