Fishnet Flix

Time to break out your head-to-toe Fremi! (With an I, not an E.)

In this week’s episode (which is the final installment of our “Season of the Witch” series, we talk about our listeners’ movie-inspired Halloween costumes. Then, we discuss the new reboot of The Craft…and we’ve got a lot to say (warning: lots of spoilers)! If you listened to our episode of the original 1996 movie, you know that it meant a lot to us, so we don’t hold back on our general thoughts about The Craft: Legacy before going into the fashion. We talk about the special details that costume designer Avery Plewes (Ready or Not) put into each girl’s look (they were inspired by elements) and, by the end of the episode, play with the idea of doing a full month dedicated to Nic Cage.

We’re almost done with this month’s Season of the Witch series, but wanted to sneak in a special mini-episode! If you’ve ever seen the 1995 anthology film, Four Rooms, you know that there’s a segment directed by Allison Anders (Mi Vida Loca) about a coven of witches (including Madonna!) that gather in a hotel room on New Year’s Eve to resurrect their goddess, Diana. It’s short but sweet, and the costumes (by Susan L. Bertram and Mary Claire Hannan) are to die for. Blessed be! Show notes: Don't duct tape your boobs like Blaire did in the '90s...use Nue instead. Listen to our Mi Vida Loca episode.

Are you in the mood for some grotesque glamour? Well, you’re in luck, because our latest episode is about the reboot of Roald Dahl’s The Witches! While Anne Hathaway taking on Angelica Houston’s iconic role as the Grand High Witch might be a tall order for some, you’ll agree that the costumes are a true feast for the eyes! Joanna Johnston (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Death Becomes Her) is the designer behind these bewitching looks.

Get ready for a real early-2000s Disney Channel flashback, Fishies! We’ve got a bite-sized episode on 2005’s Twitches, starring Tia and Tamera Mowry. Howeva, we've gotta keep it real…there’s not too much to say about the costumes in this flick (hence the mini-ep), but who can resist a good ol’ Sister, Sister #TBT? Imagine time-traveling back to a time of sheer tunics over flared jeans and wide, low-hanging belts…that's what you'll find in Twitches!
