Forward Flash 040: We're teenagers and we're bored. | Havoc (2005) [Patreon Preview]

I was beyond thrilled when I got a chance to talk to Chani Ra of The Fashion Nap. Since discovering her on TikTok I've thought of her as a 'living magazine'. In this interview episode I get to the beginnings of fashion in her life, our love of fashion magazines, some of our favorite models past and present, and chat some of our favorite creators. —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: Chani Ra @princesschanira  The Fashion Nap on TikTok & YoutubeHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]The fact that I didn't know about this film until about a month ago is crazy and embarrassing! This formula is like heaven. Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, directed and written by Amy Heckerling with costumes by Mona May! Sign me all the way up! Vampire roommates? Falling in love hijinks and camp vampire gore?! Yes, Mikey told me about this as he was watching for the first time and immediately wanted to do a podcast on it.  I'm so glad he did because this is just what I was looking for. This really proves the power of just comedic writing and an incredible cast. We get into our favorite looks, how Sigourney Weaver is EVERYTHING, and other camp films in the vampire horror comedy genre. Off-topic rants include: Riverdale, why Amy Heckerling needs to make a tv series,  and who we would want to be in the world of fictional vamp characters---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 PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

I've been wanting to check this one off the list for a while. With Larry Clark being one of my favorite directors, this was an early one in his filmography.  Now, this was a weird one for me. There were certain aspects that I was expecting that didn't really make sense for me. In this episode I worked out the bias I was going into the film with, and explain the concept of a 'that guy' in movies and tv. Off-topic rants include: Twin Peaks and David Lynch, my very lonnggg current watch queue, The Big Hit, and movies of 1998---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_melanieFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge Blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]I just saw this for the first time about two weeks ago in the theater (so 80s) thanks to Charles. He told me we just had to cover this for the pod and I'm so glad he did. If I didn't already have a crush on Bruce from 'The Fifth Element' , I now am obsessed with John McLean. This film was an 80s corporate office porn dream along with the amazing fashion! It was a thrill ride from start to finish and I'm officially adding it to my yearly holiday watch.Off-topic rants include: stylish 80s fashion, corporate office culture,  the honest logistics of planning ANY of this*published on Patreon Dec 24, 2023---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 &  Charles @charleshaslamFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast

This is one of those 90s movies that really shouldn't have been made. Lucky for you that it was so bad that we still ended up having plenty to say about it. Mikey had the unfortunate experience of seeing this in the theater, but in 1997 we were really spoiled for choice at the cinema each week. It wouldn't be a true exploration of 90s movies if we didn't talk about the duds from time to time. While I wasn't a fan of this hack job of a script that wasted some talented actors, we at least got a good soundtrack. If you watched that BUSH music video for "Mouth" you basically saw the movie. We talk about how Julie Delpy only did the film to pay for her rent, the awkward performance of Tom Everett Scott, and how Julie Bowen had the best part in the entire film. Also, we read some funny Letterboxd reviews. Off-topic rants include: Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton, Gladiator, Tom Cruise movies---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 PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

If you can believe it, this is my first watch of this cult classic. I somehow managed to never see it until now and I'm obsessed. Of course Mikey is along to talk one of his comfort films and his immense history with this gem. It works for the October season and this also reminds me of The Substance, I've recently seen. Other points are this amazing wardrobe and the magic of Meryl, Goldie, and hottie Bruce Willis. Off-topics rants include: why this movie is so RHOBH coded, Tales From the Crypt, and why Meryl Street needs to be a 'final girl' in a horror movie ---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 PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge
