November 08, 2024 79: Sherlock Holmes (2009) & The Goonies
Cozy up with some comforting (to us, at least) films that fit a vague autumnal theme! We know we are in need of some comfort right now, so we hope our podcast can be a little escape from reality for you too. Costuming has always been a field that welcomes people who have felt othered, and that extends to our podcast. We are leading with love and acceptance. You are welcome here with us.
