Hook- Pirateville is a Thriving Community

Haute Set ·

2024/10/29

Prepare for an epic battle, and not between Peter Pan and Captain Hook! Ariel loves this movie and holds it very dear, Melinda hates this movie and thinks it's an emotional betrayal of the Peter Pan story. But because we don't shy away from Important Issues, we bring the debate to you. What they can agree on: the costumes are great.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102057/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_4_nm_4_in_0_q_hookMusic: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

Ever After- This is France, This is French

Haute Set ·

2024/10/15

We kick off Season 2 with Ever After because this movie was massively formative for both of us. And I hope it has a special place in your heart too. If not, we invite you to check it out and embrace the magic. Don't we all want to live in a world where Leonardo da Vinci is our fairy godmother? Where the handsome prince is a bit of a himbo and you can help him discover the concept of Human Rights? The Brothers Grimm really screwed this story up in their book, fortunately Drew Barrymore is here to set

Bonus: Mini Costume Recreation Wrap Up

Haute Set ·

2024/10/13

Ariel and Melinda reflect on their miniature costume recreations from the show. Which they totally finished on time and they are not feverishly trying to complete (!) They each picked one costume from Rings of Power and recreated the design on a mini scale model form. There was so much embroidery, beading, and block printing, oh my! And it added an extra layer to their respect for professional artists who do this work all day everyday. Listen in to hear all about itMusic: Cassette Deck by

We did it! A whole episode about Star Trek! We delve into JJ Abrams take on creating a new Star Trek timeline and how a 21st century eye influenced the costumes, and what stayed true to the original. This is uniform talk from top to bottom. So beam on up, we are about to hit warp speed. Also- which original crew member are you most

Rings of Power Ep 6

Haute Set ·

2024/09/20

Welcome to an unfiltered conversation (verging on rant) about people disregarding all the work that goes into the costumes in this show. Ariel and Melinda are sick of the opinions disguised as fact in conversations online. It's also unfiltered because we were contending with construction noise and cat activity. Consider yourself warned and consider the entire internet on notice.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27580495/?ref_=ttep_ep6Music: Cassette Deck by Basketcase

The Matrix has you...and us. We're fangirling out on this episode, sorry not sorry. What can you expect from good honest millennial nerds? We tried to look at it with fresh eyes, don't know that we totally succeeded there. There are some moments of background noise, we asked for a clean program to run this recording but it doesn't always work out that way. Follow the white

Back to the Future 2 (1989)- Justice for Jennifer!

Haute Set ·

2024/09/10

This episode is a pretzel of various lines of thinking all twisting around each other, aka fitting for a time travel movie. We love the future fashion predictions and seeing characters at different life and fashion stages. And justice for poor Jennifer, they did her so dirty in this movie. We discuss trivia from IMDB and again take it for gospel fact because we didn't look anywhere else. Jump in the car for this journey, but try not to get

Battlestar Gallactica (1978)- It's not Star Wars

Haute Set ·

2024/09/03

Pals, this is not Star Wars ok? It's totally unique and (for legal reasons) any similarities to other events in a galaxy far, far away are purely coincidental. Besides, this movie has enough going on that you won't be sad. We've got a lot of alien attire to cover from terrifying robot dogs, multi-faced singers, polyester medieval costumes, and of course a lot of sweaty faces because this is the 70's.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077215/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_7_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_battlestarMusic: Cassette

Buckle up friends because we were really on one for this episode. And how could you not be for a movie like Barbarella? This movie sent our brains into outer space. If you are looking to learn something, you will not find it here. What you will find are killer dolls, killer parakeets, killer organs, killer lakes, and a lot of killer costumes.Info

Forbidden Planet (1956)- Robby Thee Robot

This is classic sci fi in so many ways. The flying saucer, the desert planet, the iconic robot (who's also a seamstress!) as well as skirts so short, you wouldn't believe it's the 1950's. Join us as we ask the age-old question- why are the men acting like that?https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_forbiddenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_PlanetMusic: Cassette Deck by Basketcase
