Window Dressing

Madelaine Jane Auble

Part film history, part cultural critique, and heavy with bejeweled gowns, the podcast dives into the intersections between fame, glamour, fashion, and film. And the role they have played in constructing and influencing American culture throughout the last 100 years.

Wild at Heart

Window Dressing ·

2025/02/14

This week I bring you yet another bonus Lynch episode this one dedicated to lovers on the run. Wild At Heart opens like Casino and Ends like True Romance, carrying the pixie dust of Tinkerbell throughout. This 1990 masterpiece is a hero’s journey if the journey was paved by the promise of the American dream—lovers' edition.

Leona's Revenge with Frank Calvillo

Window Dressing ·

2025/02/09

Join me and my special guest Frank Calvillo Film critique and fellow Fletcher enthusiast to discuss the 1973 film Night Watch starring Elizabeth Taylor. The film was written by famed writer Lucille Fletcher. Fletcher brought us the 1943 radio play Sorry, Wrong Number and the subsequent 1948 film of the same title starring Barbara Stanwyck as Leona. Leona died at her husband's hand. It took nearly 3 decades but she finally gets her revenge via Taylor's portrayal of Ellen in Night

I Love LA and Lynch: Mulholland Dr.

Window Dressing ·

2025/02/01

In tribute to David Lynch and Los Angeles, California, my home, I bring you a bonus episode about his 2001 film Mulholland Dr. In light of the devastating fires here in LA and Lynch’s recent death just shy of his 79th birthday, I thought now would be a good time to devote an episode to him. The reverence David Lynch had for the city of Los Angeles, the dream of Hollywood, and the magic of the movies transcends tragedy. This episode is dedicated to him, the city of Los Angeles, and the magic in

Anora

2025/01/11

Spoiler alert! In this bonus episode about the recent Mikey Madison film Anora, I go through the whole film scene by scene. Anora takes cues from some of my favorite crime comedies from the 1930s but performs modernity the way only a neon sign at a strip club can. I wrote this episode the day before the Los Angeles fires and evacuations. I held the release for several days but am releasing it now because people may need a distraction from the tragedy we are still experiencing. Please donate to

Britney Spears Part 2

Window Dressing ·

2025/01/04

In my second and final Britney Spears episode I get into her divorce from Kevin Federline, custody battle, 5150, and conservatorship. I am releasing this episode on the anniversary of her January 4th, 2007 5150. I am doing this with love and respect as it falls near my own traumatic anniversary. It is so important to own our own stories because as Britney's conservatorship shows us, the world wants to silence and co-opt our power for their benefit. My ex-boyfriend recently co-opted the anniversary

Britney Spears Part 1

Window Dressing ·

2024/12/20

Britney Spears represents the 2000s better than any other star. She was publicly degraded, shamed, and ultimately reduced to being a workhorse for her daddy. The tragedy of Britney's fame reminds us of the insidious yet clearly visible hatred of women that seems to trump even the most powerful women's will. In this first part I focus on her early career and the joy that she brought, and continues to bring to the world.

This is the second part of my three-part Aubrey O’Day, Making The Band, & Diddy episode. Aubrey has been vocal about who Diddy is and how he treated her and others for decades. She was demonized, dismissed, and straight up slut shamed as a result of her honesty and unwillingness to bow down to him. Now is the time to give her the credit she deserves.

MaXXXine

Window Dressing ·

2024/10/17

In my very special Halloween episode, I explore true crime, sex work, and media of the 1980s through the lens of this summer's horror hit MaXXXine. It is the third film in Ty West's trilogy. Maxine isn’t worried about crime, Aids, or drug addiction. She is concerned with fame, or as she says, “I will not accept a life I do not deserve.” The adage is a gift from her father, a preacher turned serial killer who represents the patriarchy in its purest form. The buxom bootstrap babe makes her way

In the season two finale of Window Dressing: American Trash and National Treasures I talk about my favorite arm of the Housewives franchise—The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.The cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is very interested in accountability and truth. If you break down the “drama” on the show, it is usually fueled by a desire to get the facts of a situation, reckon with them, and then move on. The queen of this investigative work is Lisa Rinna of Days of Our Lives, Melrose

A Free Soul: Norma Shearer

2024/08/06

MGM’s 1931 film A Free Soul and Norma Shearer’s role as Jan is the topic of this episode of Window Dressing. This film fits neatly into my season two theme: American Trash and National Treasures. Shearer is the treasure, addiction is the undercurrent, and trash is how Clark Gable’s character Ace treats her in this classic film costumed by Adrian.
