1980s Mall Catalogue Perfection in Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

If you can’t meet your perfect boyfriend...make him! This week, we’re teasing our hair, putting on our leg warmers, and invoking 1980s fashion with Lisa Frankenstein, which marks Diablo Cody’s return to horror comedy and Zelda Williams’s directorial debut! Miss Lisa (Kathryn Newton) is an angsty teen who has a meet-cute with a reanimated corpse (Cole Sprouse) and goes on a murdering spree to put his dismembered body back together. Brilliantly costumed by Meagan McLaughlin (Happy Death Day, Mike, 10 Cloverfield Lane), Lisa’s sartorial evolution goes from quiet, angsty teen to IDGAF goth girlie (greatly inspired by Winona Ryder in Heathers). We’re adding alllll the Blossom hats, slutty pirate dresses, Cathy comic tees, and rainbow rosaries to our carts!

Plus: This episode’s rants and raves feature an ASSORTMENT of topics that include Agatha All Along, Tell Me Lies, Fight Night, Moo Deng, Succession, Jelly Roll, Cuckoo, The SUBSTANCE!!! And how this season of Only Murders has been tempting Marie to wear NEUTRAL COLORS?!
