Forward Flash 008: The summer I was 8 years old, 5 hours disappeared from my life. | Mysterious Skin (2004)

May 16, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 71.4 MB

This month's journey into the 00s is a return to one of my all time favorite directors, Gregg Araki. While this film deals with trauma and dark themes I was anxious to get Jai's opinion as a first time viewer. We talk the a lot about the production, adaption to the screen from the novel, and the incredible acting throughout.  ---  Get BONUS episodes on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

084: Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling. | Heathers (1989)

May 09, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.8 MB

We're taking it back to the 80s! Even though we're usually in the 90s world we had to pay homage to Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, and Christian Slater in  Heathers.  This film is piece of fashion in film history as well as being one of the most quotable. We talk our favorites, the insanity of the story, and details behind the scenes. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

083: Utah! Get me two! | Point Break (1991)

May 02, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MB

We were in a bit of a  Keanu mood (when are we not though) so we decided to finally talk Point Break. Some of our talking points include why Kathryn Bigelow was the best choice as director, the mysterious world of surfing, and why this film never ages.  Off topic rants include my intense requirements for a meatball sub at the 18:00 minute mark  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

082: Well, it's about living forever, aint it. | Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop (2003)

April 25, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 81.6 MB

Yes, it's time for another rock doc. We take a journey across the pond to see what the music scene was in early 90s England. Enter in Britpop. This episode got somewhat chaotic in a good way. Topics include talking Britpop in the short period of purity, our own love of the genre, and our thoughts on the verbal sparring between Liam and Noel Gallagher. ---  Get BONUS episodes on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

081: Free your mind. | The Matrix (1999)

April 18, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 77.9 MB

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -- This episode felt like a mind melting session. Me and Mikey talk the impact this film still has today in all areas of culture. We examine some interesting casting possibilities, the fashion, and constantly question our own re...

Freaks and Geeks 001: Man, I Hate High School. | Pilot (1999) [Patreon Preview]

Forward Flash 007: I'm not a cowboy, Pam... I'm a stuntman. | Death Proof (2007)

You want a wild ride or a wild RIDE?  Me and Charles are literally obsessed with this film and couldn't wait to give you dramatic readings, impressions, and geek out for an hour.

080: Hold on to your butts. | Jurassic Park (1993)

April 04, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 81.9 MB

This is one of the most classic films of the 90s. Let's face it we all think dinosaurs are cool. Maybe not so cool if we're thrown together with them in a theme park from hell situation.  Charles gives us a science lesson with his extensive knowledge of the book and the differences from the animals in the film and what scientists know now. We get into the intense sound mixing that created each dino growl, and me and Mike ask all the questions like...how did this even happen? Were these self...

Deep Cut: MTV's The Real World Seasons 1-4

079: What's your philosophy of life? | Kid 90 (2021)

March 28, 2021 12:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MB

The 90s nostalgia was heavy with this one. It's like being transported back the world of high school friends, summers in parks, and general hanging out before the days of social media.  This so happens to star the life of Soleil Moon Frye from child actor to teen years with famous friends along the way.  Me, Charles and Mikey talk about this film, our lives in the 90s, and gossip about all these 90s celebs in their youth.  Check out Mikey's podcast!

078: Is it just me, or did this trip go downhill since we ran out of Lucky Lager? | Kalifornia (1993)

March 21, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MB

This film was ALOT. I quickly remembered why I bought this DVD at a video store closing shop ages ago for less than $5. There were so many aspects of this film we forgot about since our recent rewatch. We get into the confusing tone of the story, an undiscovered fashion icon in Michelle Forbes, and literally wonder where this 9 mil budget went. Off topic rants include bitching about Vogue, stars that aged well, and recent celeb gossip. ---  Get BONUS episodes on PATREON! www.patreon.com/f...

077: Get a Life. | Sliver (1993)

March 07, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

Well...this was steamy and A LOT. We've waded through the murky waters of erotic thrillers of the 90s.   Capping it off with the Sharon Stone & Billy Baldwin film, Sliver. It paid off for us to get this complete Cinemax after dark film. While we continue to be jealous of Sharon Stone, our thirst level for Billy Baldwin is at an all time HIGH.

February 26, 2021 16:40 - 1 hour - 102 MB

Well we went pretty DEEP on one of our favorite artists, Kurt Cobain. We each talk our experiences with listening to Nirvana from a young age, question whether or not this film should have been made, and give our many opinions on the doc as a whole and of course Courtney Love.  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge RATE THE POD & SUBSCRIBE!

February 21, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

Me and Charles really got our fill of an erotic tale with this one. Outside of the complicated story, we worship at the altar of Sharon Stone.  We get into the behind the scenes drama, sociopaths, and why apparently no one in this movie has heard of an ice tray.  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

February 10, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 58.9 MB

This is one of those overlooked 90s sleeper films. While it may be known as an early Angelina Jolie film it's actually so much more. We dissect this multi-layered story about complex female friendship, self-worth, and we share our own stories along the way.  ----  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

It was the first time for the both of us seeing this dark but oddly timely and comedic 90s take  on tabloid media culture. We talk how we didn't really know what was going on, the kickin soundtrack, the Kurt Cobain connection, and  wrap up by ranting on a variety of topics. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

Yes, I'm well aware that this is not in the usual vein of films we cover here. Long story short I had never seen it and neither did Charles.  We managed to get severely off track and profess our love for Taco Bell. Other topics included this wild story, who the story was originally meant for, and why we felt cheated out of a Robert Redford love scene. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

We had such a good time talking about this wild ride into the future.  Some of our points ranged from the intense cult like fan base, drama on the set, and drool about all the costumes.  ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

056: To live and fry in L.A. | Totally Fucked Up (1993)

December 02, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

Told in 15 celluloid fragments examining gay alienated youth of LA in the 90s.  I was eager to hear Jai's first time thoughts as a newcomer to his early work and I give my review as a longtime Araki lover. We discuss how times have changed in both the good and bad ways. It's such an important film almost 30 years later with the language of the West Coast and the birth of a new genre.

055: 'Cause I'm pissed off and the whole world owes me. | Freeway (1996)

November 29, 2020 13:00 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

This is one of those random films that you may have never heard of but it's definitely worth a watch.  Me and Mikey talk about how Reese was such a 90s bad girl and why we're dying to see her in another role like this soon. Part 'Little Red Riding Hood' and road film, it's a wild hilarious ride. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

054: It's all happening! | Almost Famous (2000)

November 25, 2020 14:40 - 1 hour - 55.9 MB

Wow, this was my first time seeing this film!  While I'm late to the game, Jai has seen it many times. Listen to my hot takes as a first time viewer and why it took me 20 years to see it. The mystique of Penny Lane, the soundtrack, and why we wish we experienced the 70s are some of our many talking points. ---  Get BONUS episodes and support the show on PATREON! www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!

While it's a departure from our usual films, this is one of my 2 favorite action films of the 90s.
