Back Track 016: Welcome to the party, pal! | Die Hard (1988) [Patreon Preview]

I have to say that Misery has been on my list to watch and review for a minute. This really is the perfect film for the October season. A winter cabin, cozy decor, and a seemingly Good Samaritan  who turns out to be a...let's just say "over zealous fan". Charles was in the throws of a Kathy Bates era in the 90s and this is essentially my first watch. We get into the practical winter fashion, the Sheriff and Deputy wife stealing scenes, changes from the novel to screen, and the long list of actors who turned down the role of Paul Sheldon. Off-topics rants include: Captain Planet tv series, Loki, cartoons that scarred us as children--- 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!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Well it's October season and we're here to bring the thrills and chills. Charles picked this one and by about 20 mins in I was terrified. The concept of any type of abduction is terrifying, alien or not. While this was released in '93, its based on a true story that happened in the 70s. We had a time chatting this movie including the male logging thirst trap montage early on, the fashion choices, and why you should never leave the house or get out of a car to investigate a strange hovering red beam of light in the dar forest.Off-topic rants include: Roswell tv show, Jaws, the Canadian tuxedo--- 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!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Since everyone loves our chat episodes, me and Jai talk another hectic fashion month season. Neither one of us are too crazy about spring fashion in general, but we did talk about our favorite (and not so fave) collections for a whole 2 hours. We break it down by cities: New York, London, Milan, and finally Paris. Some of the brands we talk are: Proenza Schouler, Gucci, JW Anderson, Sacai, Prada, and much more! 🖤 Enjoy!--- 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! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Another classic example in the 90s of studio interference that ruined what could have been a standout film. With a great cast and a disappointing story trajectory, we were left wanting wayyy more at the end of this. Me and Jai only watched for Queen Winona. Granted, she tried to carry this film but ultimately the script was lacking and she dine have much help in terms of a strong actor in the lead role. Instead of not reviewing it we did get into what we would change, things that would have helped the story out, and talked a bit of gossip about the starsoff-topic rants: the 90s "Pussy Posse", Gwyneth Paltrow, BFFs--- 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! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

Here we are. Another classic film of the 90s that I am just watching for the first time. I'm not as familiar with the Coen Brother's work so this is a newer genre for me. I've heard so much about Fargo for years and I'm soo glad that I've finally watched it. Me and Charles take a deep dive and basically rave about how much we love Frances McNormand. There are so many quotable moments that we try to dramatically act out, I realize that I have a massive crush on Steve Buscemi, and now we want to watch the new series'. Off-topic rants: Oscar rage minute, Oprah, niche films, other shocking films I've never watched--- 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!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastSubstack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

It's been a while since me and Jai recorded a proper fashion chat episode. We talk on the phone all the time about what's going on in fashion and there were some things before our FW collection review that I wanted to touch on. We start out talking our underwhelming feelings on the new Helmut Lang collection, Tremaine Emory leaving Supreme, my recent print magazine purchases, Karlie Kloss possibly buying i-D , the Tabi swiper, new TikTok creator discoveries, and some other random bitsThings we mentioned:Hannah E on TikTokThe Tabi Swiper Story on TikTok --- 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! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Jai @jai_stylefactory Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod

If you're looking for a seedy, movie of the week type film that almost takes you there but not quite...look to Devil in the Flesh from 1998. I had seen some of the stills one night on Tumblr, and I enlisted Mikey to chat about our first time thoughts. We touch on what the story needed to push further, the accurate fashion, and why a kicking soundtrack could have really saved this film. Off-topic rants: I got Mikey into Vanderpump Rules and we chat about it from about 27:00-40:00--- 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!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007  Music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast Substack The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletterInstagram @fashiongrungepodTwitter @fgrungepodLetterboxd Fashion Grunge PodcastTikTok @fashiongrungepod
