“Could the ugly, untalented gays please report to the principal's office?” It's PRIDE MONTH and we’re celebrating with a chaotic queer 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 lesbian fight club film that stars Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott. Costume designer Eunice Jera Lee loaded the film with fun throwbacks and brilliant references to The Craft, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller. We break down PJ’s suspender-core crisis, best-friend necklaces, and Chanel-coded revenge ‘fits, while discussing our mutual Ruby Cruz thirst, Kristen Stewart stanning, and more. Tune in now!

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, and how each carefully coordinated look reflects her creator’s fantasy more than Iris herself.

Plus: the cult-favorite necklace Marie’s adding to cart, 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 Y2K! 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 the essence of 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!
