The Women- Somehow All About Men

We're back!! We missed you! Welcome to season five- movies about clothes! We're starting with the oldest movie on our list. We knew a film from 1939 would exactly be progressive, but boy was it not! Buckle up for a ride where we try to figure out why a movie with no men in it can't be more about the female characters that are.  Oh and so, so, so many hats!! Hats galore, hat extravaganza.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032143/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_dm_2_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_the%20women Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

Lord of the Rings- We end at the beginning

It's our fantasy season finale extravaganza! So much movie, perhaps too much or not enough based on where you stand. We're talking about the trilogy as a whole. And as per usual we are criss-crossing back and forth through it like Sam and Frodo. These movies were a turning point for behind the scenes content that made all our nerdy hearts sing.  Are you ready to join the fellowship? Get your cloaks.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_lord%2520of%2520the%2520rings Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

Pan's Labyrinth- Millennials Know

The pale man traumatized a generation of moviegoers. Were you one of them? This movie is brimming with incredible creature and monster designs paired with perfectly real characters that are in the most lovely lived-in clothes. Plus the most messages about Catholicism and whether the fairytale ending is real or not. Check it out and let us know what you think really happened at the end!  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_3_nm_5_in_0_q_pans%2520 Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

Willow- Medieval Villains Always Wear Black

Wow, another real 1980's fantasy movie! This made us ask the question- how many fantasy movies from the 20th century are --heavily-- influenced by Lord of the Rings?? This movie also sparked a discussion about how common it is for costume design education programs to only teach you how to design for certain bodies. Something we would like to change!  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096446/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_2_nm_5_in_0_q_willow Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

Wicked For Good- There's a Lot, But Also a Lot Less

We have been changed For Good by witnessing the gorgeous costumes in Wicked For Good!! We recorded this on opening weekend and bring you our fresh reactions to the movie. It’s been amazing to see all of the posts and pictures from production folks showing their work in making these costumes. It’s only cemented our appreciation for the artistry on display. Join us as we return to Oz for the completion of this saga. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19847976/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_wicked%2520for%2520good [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19847976/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_wicked%2520for%2520good] Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase
