Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
Costume design as character work, with practical craft and a few gentle detours.
The conversation treats costume design as character work, and Megan McLaughlin Lester keeps pulling it back to the practical side of the job. She talks through projects like Lisa Frankenstein, Happy Death Day, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Claws, but the best moments are the ones…
A fast, funny costume conversation that treats one shirt like a piece of 90s skater history.
Makeover Montage treats the Seth Green look as a quick, lively pass through 1990s skater fashion. Baggy T-shirts, baggy pants, and a shacket-like jacket all get attention, but the sharpest detail is the Porn Star shirt and its old 90s skater clothing-company backstory.
A playful costume chat about Lisa Frankenstein and its 1980s-inspired look.
This Makeover Montage episode is a lively discussion of Lisa Frankenstein, a newer film the hosts call cute and underrated. They spend most of the time tracing its style back to 1980s heartthrobs, Pretty in Pink, and Heathers, which gives the conversation its best stretch.

Little Shop of Horrors is framed as a costume-first dark comedy musical, with Blair and Marie drawing attention to Merritt Allen's silhouettes, color pairings, and story-sorting choices.
A Scream 3 costume conversation that keeps circling back to Gail's bangs.
This Scream 3 discussion starts with fashion and costume design, then moves into the film's murder-order setup and a long run on Gail's bangs. The haircut becomes the kind of detail that sticks: a memorable on-screen choice and, apparently, a production headache.
A loose, costume-centered movie chat that treats style as identity and status.
The episode uses a teen-film makeover story to think aloud about clothes, status, and identity. Marie Lodi and Blair move from Vanessa Hudgens' post-High School Musical reinvention to Alex Petterfer's vain, self-absorbed character and the movie's rich-kid styling, treating…
