184: No, we could never be sisters. | All Over Me (1997)

Author: Fashion Grunge June 23, 2024 Duration: 1:02:17

It's time to dust off the gritty 90s VHS archives for an honest and gut wrenching film about growing up in NYC, discovering your queer identity, and the complexities of female relationships. 

Jules is along for this episode where we talk 'All Over Me' from 1997. I first rented this in high school and it has been on my list to watch again. This film grew on us as we compared to other films of the time that feel more like a documentary and a visual portrait. The soundtrack was completely up our alley with bands like Babes in Toyland, Helium, and Patti Smith. The fashion was so realistic and inspires today, we read some Letterboxd reviews, and discuss other intense female friendships on film that we enjoy.

Lauren from Fashion Grunge Podcast is joined by a rotating cast of friends for conversations that feel like hanging out in a thrift store back room. The discussions are rooted in a deep, genuine affection for the 1990s-its defining movies, the raw energy of its music, and the iconic, rebellious fashion that gave the era its texture. But this isn't just a nostalgia trip. Each episode uses those cultural touchstones as a launchpad to examine modern pop culture, current fashion revivals, and even the oddly compelling world of reality television. You'll hear thoughtful reviews, personal anecdotes, and unfiltered opinions that connect the dots between a cult classic film and today's social trends. The result is a warm, insightful, and often funny exploration of how the aesthetics and attitudes of the past continue to shape our present. Tune in for a podcast that celebrates the messy, creative spirit of the decade while always keeping one eye on what's happening now.
