189: Hey, ladies, wanna see my spirit stick? | Bring It On (2000)

There are only a handful of films that I can quote by heart and don't even need to watch to be able to talk about. The First Wives Club, the 1996 sleeper but box office hit is that film for me and my friends Mikey and Charles. We love this story so much that it has been burned into our brains for most of our adult lives. Throughout the episode we question why a film about divorced women really spoke to us at age 13, which woman we identify with, and just basically quote the entire film.Go rent , go buy, go watch this film immediately.[first appeared on the Patreon]----Get OVER 90 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

What a good chill movie vibe to start the week. I'm always down to watch a Richard Linklater film and escape into his world. Me and Charles talked some of our own favorite growing up moments, the unexpected fashion we loved, and why we love the 90s slacker genre.Off-topic rants: The Last of Us, Carson Daly, the Independent Spirit Awards---Get OVER 90 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

What started out as a joke and just an idea for a "Razzie" series has now become a full fledged episode on the pod. It has been widely accepted that Batman & Robin from '97 effectively killed the franchise for a number of years. I happen to love Batman Forever and enjoy the campy and comic aspect of the Joel Schumacher versions of the caped crusader. Batman/Bruce Wayne is my all time favorite superhero so instead of only trashing this version (yes, it really was that bad), me and Mikey decided to see the humor in it and actually come to the realization that we were robbed of a Poison Ivy Multiverse.off-topic rants: current MCU & DCU news, Mad TV, 90s McDonalds Toys--- Get OVER 90 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

For the full episode join our Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]YES! We're finally talking one of the most iconic films of the 60s starring the King of Cool, Steve McQueen. Bullitt is one of my cornerstones as a youth because I love cars and this is the most important car chase ever filmed. There are so many behind the scenes technical details on how this story came together, Steve McQueen's quest for authenticity, and driving that brings a tear to my eyes. Me and Charles also took the time to dive into our recent 'one-star' review for the first 7 minutes...off-topic rants include: Oscar fever, Tom Cruise, and Pedro Pascal---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 !

It's time for another movie that was one of the most important films to me growing up. Not only did I watch this all the time, I get the chance to explore it as an adult. I enlisted Jai and Charles who weren't as familiar with this emotional story starring Joseph Mazzello and Brad Renfro. We get into our Oscar rage yet again, casting choices, frogs, Letterboxd ---Get OVER 80 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

For the full episode join our Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]What can I say about this episode? I had a chat with Troy McEady about literally any and all things pop culture nostalgia. This is an interview I've been chasing for a while so I could activate my reality tv brain with another superfan. We get into the good ol days of MTV shows and of course the VMAs, Real Housewives and the "old" Bravo, and what we miss about retro reality tv. It's hard to describe a road map of topics but settle in with your tea or coffee and go on a journeyyy.Enjoy!  ---Get OVER 90 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!

This is one that has been on my list to talk about since the start of the podcast.

Omg I'm so excited the day is finally here that we're reviewing Face/Off. I have a thing for these 90s action films and the crazier the better. What could be more nuts than a facial transplant surgery with little to no recovery time and a hell of a prison escape cat and mouse game? On this episode me and Charles have Manny along to talk one of the greatest Cage roles ever, Castor Troy. We get into the fashion, try to scientifically break down how this would actually work, and dissect the crazy timeline.*this episode first appeared on our Patreon---Get OVER 80 BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show  for $5 a month!
