015: Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? | Punk: Attitude (2005)

Wooo! I'm really tired of every year seeing my girls in the villa get washed by these boys during the 'Casa Amor' segment of Love Island. That's right, I'm here talking the last week of LI USA and boy is there a lot to cover. Some things I touch on: Kendall being a snake, Leah still winning me over, we ride at dawn for Jana, Aaron and Rob literally being the couple of the season, and how I can't wait for Serena to turn Kordell inside out on the next episode. 🔥 call the fire dept cause this villa is about the metaphorically burn down! and I'll be here to cover every minute 'Don't mug me off' and keep up with the rest of my episodes every Saturday for the rest of the US season!---Get 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! Host: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

It's July 4th and it's beyond me that we haven't covered the 90s patriotic classic, Independence Day until now. Never fear, I'm here with Dustin from @therewatchrecap to get into it. This movie meant so much to us growing up and we talk about our long history with it, the sequel that I regrettably saw in theaters, how this casting is perfect (ahem Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch), and reminisce about the best movie President we've ever had. Off-topic rants: the state of Hollywood and the film industry, Judd Hirsch memories, more 90s nostalgia Ethan Hawke on Independence Day"Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy!" 🛸 ---Get 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! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guest: Dustin  of The Rewatch Recap Podcast @therewatchrecap | LinktreeHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Basically this episode was a reason for me to listen to the 'brat' album and talk to Jules about my hot takes on Chappell Roan and the current pop scene. I always float in and out of current music offerings. On this episode we get into our favorite tracks of the moment, the Taylor Swift of it all and her shadow over pop, being confused about Sabrina Carpenter, reminisce on the sleaze pop dance of the 2010s (Sky Ferreira, MIA, Santigold, La Roux, Robyn, etc..), and touch on the travesty on the erasure of culture in the form of MTV News. 🎸--- Get 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! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jules @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

As you have learned from my last interview episode, I'm a big Love Island fan. Even if only a small group of people listen, it will all be worth it for me to get my thoughts out on this show I've been watching for the past 5 years. This is the first of my recaps of this current season (6) of the USA version of this night soap/ dating show. At the start I get into my history with how I started watching the show, my favorite moments of the UK series, and how I currently feel about what's (not) going on in the UK villa right now. On eps 15-16 I get into the aftermath of that Rob and Leah bust up, Liv being necessary to the story, and why I need Miguel and Rob to face off in this villa. Although 'Casa Amor' is around the corner so all of this could mean nothing because SO much happens day to day. 'Don't mug me off' and keep up with the rest of my episodes every Saturday for the rest of the US season!---Get 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! Host: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

It's time to dust off the gritty 90s VHS archives for an honest and gut wrenching film about growing up in NYC, discovering your queer identity, and the complexities of female relationships. Jules is along for this episode where we talk 'All Over Me' from 1997. I first rented this in high school and it has been on my list to watch again. This film grew on us as we compared to other films of the time that feel more like a documentary and a visual portrait. The soundtrack was completely up our alley with bands like Babes in Toyland, Helium, and Patti Smith. The fashion was so realistic and inspires today, we read some Letterboxd reviews, and discuss other intense female friendships on film that we enjoy.Watch the film on Youtube: https://youtu.be/OmfqcIlvd5w?si=xo1q0X8uFDy5agx8---Get BONUS episodes on 90s/00s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie &Jules @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

🏝️ I'VE GOT A TEXT! Yes, yes I know it's time to admit that I'm fully into Love Island. I know it's not the typical stuff I cover here on the podcast, but it's a huge part of my brain. So, for this very thing I had to get in contact with Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast to talk about it. Being a fan from afar I already knew that we would be able to jump right in.We get into a bit of our Bravo thoughts first, how the new UK season is shaping up and whether or not Joey Essex is a producer plant, the current USA season firing on all cylinders, and give our hot takes and thoughts on some of the classic UK seasons of Love Island. ---Get 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! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guest: Kendrick Tucker of I Ken Not Podcast   @withkendricktuckerHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

We're here and back with one of the best films of the 90s, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar It's Pride month and it was beyond time for us to review it here and who better than Mikey to talk about the long lasting legacy this film has had over the past 30 years. There are so many things that have changed and moved forward but there is still more to be done. We talk a lot about the incredible characters and arcs throughout, how this is one of Mikey's foundational films, the FASHION and BODY, the endless cameos, and how quotable this entire script is. While I know The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert isn't the same film but since they were released within a year of each other we compare and contrast, and explain why they should be seen as a 'double feature'.Off-topic rants include: why we need a costume museum, why we need a spin off series of Noxeema and Clara, LOTR/The Hobbit movie seriesMentioned: Trixie Mattel on Reacts To Wong Foo To Wong Foo Stage Production Trailer---Get 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! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

I live for an opportunity to talk about fashion and connect with new people. I've followed Hunter @highendhomo on Twitter and been obsessed with his takes on pop culture and fashion so I knew that it would be great to see things from his perspective. Getting another view from someone who is a bit more plugged in than I am makes for such a great back and forth convo. We get into the "cancel culture" aftermath of certain designers, how consumption has changed, the industry when it comes to personal style, celebrities,  and our own entry by way of either music or muses. There is talk of current magazines, the revolving door of creative directors, and of course we had to touch on the recent hot topics and whiplash of all the names we've heard thrown around for the next head of Chanel.off-topic rants: current movie and tv faves and the new guard in music ---Get 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! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guest: Hunter Shires @highendhomo  Twitter Runway Radio PodcastHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod
