Welcome to podcast-land, where everything is bright, colorful, molded plastic. We always have perfect outfits with matching accessories and the perfect hair style. If the choice is between a flat (gag) beige birkenstock sandal, and a pretty sparkly pink pump, it's a no-brainer. 

Thanks for joining us for season 3- The color explosion. Hope to see you in season 4. 

Bye Barbie! Bye Ken!

Barbie- The Dream Ballet 

This Korean historical drama pits the establishment and tradition against new artistic expression in clothing of the royal court. Being glamorous can elevate your social standing, it can also get you killed. But the real burning question of this movie is- how long does it take to make one of these outfits??? The human body can only move so fast.

The Royal Tailor- You Can't Sew That Fast

Friends, this episode is simply unhinged. We are hop, skip, and jumping around this movie and it may or may not be coherent, that's not for us to say. This is Eiko Ishioka's final movie before she passed away so we had to cover it. But it's a weird one, and we decided to get weird. Happy listening HAGS!

Mirror, Mirror- Jumpscare

Join us for this movie that neither of us really knew much about! It’s an interesting fantasy, fairy tale, horror, fable? The characters make lots of questionable life choices and also lots of fabulous costume choices. There are sea monsters, witches, ogres, fleas, acrobats, and a lot of blood. What more could we ask for? Oh, and John C Reilly.

Tale of Tales- That's Disrespectful to the Flea

Prepare for a epic battle- between podcast hosts! Ariel loves this movie and Melinda...not so much. But they can agree that the costumes are great. 

We're re-releasing this episode because there's a lot going on this spring, and we love to fight.

Re-Release: Hook 

It's an epic historical fantasy, with costumes that are so lush! This movie has got twist after twist, but it's no surprise that Emi Wada's costumes are absolutely perfect. Are you prepared to take this journey with us?

House of Flying Daggers- Camoflauge

This is a classic coming-of-age tale about a simple girl who just wanted to have a good time. The basic concept of equality and poverty just wasn't part of her vibe ok??? She simply chose to ignore the haters...until that was no longer an option. Join us for a ride through endless opulence and the dumbest societal rules ever created. Let them wear converse!

Marie Antoinette- 

In a person's life- are Facts or Stories more important? That tension is the heart of this movie and a question I don't think we even attempt to answer. But we do love to explore how clothing can be used to reveal emotional truth, heighten mundane events into the stuff of legend, and help someone shape their identity. And for such a great costume movie, there was virtually no information we could find about how it came together. So it's just us! 

At about the 18 minute mark, there's some background noise as there was a fence being put up nearby.

Big Fish- I'm Not Sure That Happened

The costumes in Wicked are a triumph. It's a feast for the eyes and you simply must watch it if you haven't. We get into it's journey from novel, to stage, to screen. And is it really important to like the songs in this version? Or is the story told as much between the big numbers? And of course, Fiyero was a bit of an afterthought. Oops! 

Also: Announcing our first live podcast episode coming up in May.

Wicked- I Need That Munchkin Sweater

This is an epic tale. The kind of story that could only be created by a 6-year-old who's already Been-Through-It and an injured stuntman who's currently Going-Through-It.  Full of questionable motives but truly stunning costumes. Eiko Ishioka is back with more brilliantly realized designs that can't be contained by time, place, or reality.
