Dressed To Kill

It's Austin Powers, the Trequel! aka Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Yes the one with Beyonce, she's Foxy Cleopatra, and she's a whole-lotta woman!

This episode was laid back and SO much fun with our recurring guest, Parsons NYC fashion student, Erica Eaton! Quick reminder, Erica has been a bff to both of us in life and fashion since we were 6-10 years old! YES we've seen each other through the birth AND RE-popularity of Ed Hardy and low cut jeans.

This movie is the Celeb packed 1970s / Y2K mashup of our dreams. Expect all the nostalgic quotables, 2000s product placements galore, and Alana on her Tan-gent-lemen routine as usual (lol, it's me Alana writing this, can confirm the episode is chock full of tangents).

This week we watched, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). The AP sequel! 

We're joined by special guest Sharif Matar! Sharif is a product and software Designer, and old friend from middle and high school. We used to love watching comedies like this with sharif - before they were vintage-, and he has an incredible eye for design. 

 Millennium era comedies had such a fun lightness to them, that we miss!

Mike Meyers is a comedy genius, we just love the Austin Powers series, the quotable lines and cameos still get us cracking up, and we especially love the playful costume design! Thanks Deena Appel!

Seeing the play come back into fashion lately (it's about time!) with the redux of y2k era style, feels like perfect timing after years of homebound sweatpants and Zoom-fits. Not to mention, the nostalgia is sugary sweet.

Is Fat Bastard too fat shamey? Are we -over- smart female characters playing dumb? Were you also obsessed with Jelly Roll pens?? All this and more in today's episode!

Corrections:

*** I, Alana , was wrong about the almonds! Hahahaha, it's what Elma said first, CYANIDE smells like almonds! Be careful out there! 

*** The grunge Claire’s, Hot Topic's spin off fandom shop is called: Box Lunch (not Lunch Box).

*** PS Ignoramus IS in fact a word.

This episode is a watch through of Octopussy (1983).  Happy Holi!

We chose this movie for today, because it takes place mostly in India, and today is Holi! Holi is an East Asian holiday that celebrates the start of spring! It’s also referred to as the Festival Of Love, or The Festival Of Colors...

This movie is Girl Gang Goals, it’s Cartoony Funny, and it’s India in the 1980s how fascinating!

Welcome to our fashion, and representation breakdown of the Bond film, You Only Live Twice (1967). 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this week's special guest, Alana's mom: Dr. Linda!! 

We had such interesting conversation on this episode breaking down a very complex movie through 4 very different perspectives (thanks Akiko!) across generations AND cultures. 

In short: Powerful women, racism, sexism, sharing new cultures to a western 1960s audience, and don't forget the style! Thoughts??

Ski Suit watch, the FIT is ILL!

This week's episode is a list of Bond's most... interesting Ski and Snow looks. The wins and, let's be honest, some real dirty marshmallows too.  And we didn't forget his Bond Women's looks too.

In this episode we ask: When did skiing start?,  Whats wrong with some of these fits??, Why are the 60s perfect?, What would your 1980s coked out aunt wear?,  and of course, as two girls from Hawaii, do we even have the right to discuss this?

We hope you enjoy, and send us pictures of your childhood ski looks on instagram!

This is a watch through of From Russia With Love (1963), the classic espionage film and second release in the James Bond franchise.

There is so much to discuss about this film, from Bond's iconic gray suit(s), Tania's guide on how to dress for a romantic train trip, and Kerim Bey and his (not literally) 600 sons. What's the backstory there?  Plus, how to test your potential boyfriends, by Alana Fickes / Rosa Klebb.

Welcome to season 3 of Dressed To Kill!!! We're kicking it off with a watch through of The 355 (2022) ... a low-key guide to which movies are Zoom party appropriate.

There's a ~gaping~ hole in the market for movies like this. A Female led, ensemble cast of badass women?! Spice girls with motorcycles and fighting skills?! A variety of international clever and brave personalities... saving the world?!  Yes please!!!

We're extra excited to start our season 3 and the new year 2022, with our first ever coverage of a New Release!

---Warning---, there will be spoilers!

We got reeeeaaaalll goofy and PUNny in this episode, and per your feedback, shared more personal stories. 

We'd especially love to hear from you on this one as we've heard very few opinions on The 355 so far! Please message us or comment or  wherever comments are sold! (j/k, 90s joke)

On a more honest note, we'd love your opinion on this Q: 

Are men less forgiving of female led action movies, than male led action movies?
