A weekly podcast about fashion in film hosted by Marie Lodi and Blaire Bercy.

We’re baaaaack! And we’re kicking things off with Another Simple Favor! This sequel has everything we love: mystery, murder, and a wardrobe so extra you could watch the movie on mute 👀and still be entertained. Blake Lively returns as Emily, serving high camp, insane hats, oversized tailoring, and looks that scream Murder Mommy Mob Wife, all courtesy of costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus (A Simple Favor, Hidden Figures, Friends With Benefits). Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie may have a few cute ‘fits, but let’s be real: this is ol’ blondie’s runway.

We break down the couture-level costumes, discuss how Blake’s real-life stylist-free choices influence her character’s wardrobe, and compare it all to the chaotic looks in It Ends With Us (double pants trigger warning). You won’t find any litig**tion speak here, but you WILL find us spiraling into tangents on Marie’s totally healthy Babygirl obsession, our new segment (?) "Dakota Unchained," Party Girl’s 30th anniversary, and more. It's unhinged, it's fabulous, it's Makeover Montage!!!

“Could the ugly, untalented g**s please report to the principal's office?” It's PRIDE MONTH and we’re celebrating with a chaotic q***r cult-classic in the making: Bottoms! Marie is joined by writer and friend of the pod Krista Burton to dive into this hilariously h**ny, gloriously campy le***an fight club film starring Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott. Costume designer Eunice Jera Lee loaded the film with fun throwbacks and brilliant references to faves like The Craft, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller. Tune those 👂🏽 in as we break down PJ’s suspender-core crisis, best friend necklaces, and Chanel-coded revenge ‘fits, while discussing our Ruby Cruz thirst and Kristen Stewart adoration, and more. 👊🏽

Imagine if your too-good-to-be-true boo was actually an android?! In this episode, Marie talks to Companion costume designer Vanessa Porter about her work on the sci-fi rom-com thriller, which stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid as a couple on a getaway with friends at a remote cabin—until hell breaks loose when one of the guests is revealed to be a companion robot!

Vanessa breaks down how Iris’s (Sophie Thatcher) French New Wave-inspired wardrobe of pastel cardigans, gingham rompers, and Reformation-worthy sundresses isn’t just style goals, it’s a commentary on control, fantasy, and good ol’ toxic masculinity. They also discuss how dressing a character who doesn’t pick her own outfits flips the script on traditional costuming, which classic brand is a Tradwife staple, and how to design a Stepford Wifey outfit with just the right amount of blood splatter. Tune in now!

It's time to party like it's 1999! For this special NYE bonus episode, we're thrilled to welcome costume designer Katina Danabassis to the pod to discuss her work in the new A24 horror-comedy !

Katina takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the turn of the millennium, where cyber-optimism and late 90s/2000s style ruled. From the shiny, chrome-infused looks to the iconic brands that defined the era (Abercrombie! Tommy Hilfiger!), Katina's costumes for Y2K perfectly capture this moment in time. She tells us how she meticulously sourced vintage pieces, collaborated with the cast, and infused personal touches to make the fashion in Y2K feel authentic. She also tells us about designing the costumes in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Past Lives, what it's like working with Zendaya, and why "Go" is such an important movie.

Whether you're a former JNCO-wearing raver, a nu-metal freak, or simply someone who loves a heavy dose of 90s/2000s nostalgia, this episode is a must for your ears!

Oopsies , forgot to post last week's Dunstcember episode, Blaire's true crime pick: All Good Things. Those of you who watched The Jinx and followed the weird story of New York real estate heir and convicted murderer Robert Durst may be familiar with this film. It is "loosely based" on Durst and stars our sweet Kirsten Dunst and our beloved Ryan Gosling! There are a lot of '70s looks in this, which Kirsten can pull off like no other. Costumes were designed by the legendary Michael Clancy who did our fave film Party Girl! We also learn the origin of Blaire's motto, uttered by Kristen Wiig in this film, "Eat your salad." Tune in!

For our final installment of our annual Dunstcember programming, we’re (finally) diving into Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Directed by the brill Charlie Kaufman, this mind-bending movie explores the idea of erasing memories of a failed relationship.

Kate Winslet SHINES as the quirky and chaotic Clementine, with her ever-changing hair colors and eclectic vintage-inspired wardrobe. Costume designer Melissa Toth did an amazing job capturing Clementine's effortless, thrifted cool-girl aesthetic, right down to that signature orange hoodie. The film is STACKED with familiar and favorite faces, from preciouso Elijah Wood to cutie Mark Ruffalo—and Jim Carrey is so depression-hot in this one. While our beloved Kiki Dunst isn’t the lead, she is a major part of the plot.

This film is a true cinematic masterpiece, with its nonlinear storytelling, beautiful cinematography, and surreal dream sequences. We break down all the best fashion moments, from Clementine's cozy winter looks to her shocking skeleton jumpsuit.

Other CHAT topics: Clementine as the anti-manic pixie dream girl, the enduring love for “‘90s Cool Girl Style,” our history of all the menz we've loved on this podcast in the past six years, including problematics. TUNE IN NOW!!!
