Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

Author: Marie Lodi and Blaire Bercy Language: English Episodes: 100
Ever wonder how a single costume can define a character or why a specific music video look becomes instantly iconic? That’s the territory explored in Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast, hosted by fashion and beauty writer Marie Lodi and producer Blaire Bercy. This isn’t just a surface-level glance at what’s on screen. Each episode, these two costume design superfans and avid movie-watchers dive deep into the sartorial details of a chosen film, television show, or music video. They pull apart specific outfits, trace the origins of trends, and uncover the fun, often overlooked facts behind the glamour. Their conversations feel like listening in on two deeply knowledgeable friends who are just as likely to geek out over a perfectly tailored suit in a noir classic as they are to analyze the cultural impact of a pop star’s video aesthetic. Along the way, Marie and Blaire naturally weave in their own current obsessions from the wider worlds of fashion, beauty, and pop culture, making every discussion feel fresh and connected. The result is a podcast that celebrates the artistry of wardrobe and makeup as essential, powerful storytelling tools, offering a richer way to see and appreciate the visual media we love. Whether you’re a film buff, a fashion enthusiast, or just curious about the stories behind the style, this series provides a consistently engaging and insightful listen.
