Frock Flicks - Costume Movie Reviews
We retired this podcast, because we couldn't parse it for 10 consecutive times.
Ever watch a historical movie and wonder"what the heck are they wearing?" We've studied real historical clothing, and we love to pick apart Hollywood's idea of period costume. But it's not just about history, it's also about symbolism, style, and more. Join us in the theater to talk about crazy costume movies and TV series, fabulous historical costumes, and what it all means.
