  Hello, welcome to the artcasting podcast.
• 0:08
  I'm Mosley Joy Glass. And I'm Spencer Williams.
• 0:12
  Hello, Elizabeth. Happy Spring break.
• 0:14
  Happy spring break, how's it going?
• 0:18
  It's going we had, we've had quite the exciting day already.
• 0:22
  We're we're kind of on lockdown today a little.
• 0:26
  Yeah. I woke up to a fun text from
• 0:29
  Elizabeth. Well, hey, at least you didn't
• 0:33
  get the cop banging on your door being like, yo, there's a
• 0:36
  Mountain Lion, Yeah. Yeah, so I, I guess I, I don't
• 0:43
  know if I was, so I was up very late last night watching Twin
• 0:47
  Peaks, So I was out cold this morning.
• 0:51
  So I just, I guess I very kind of lazily walked over to the
• 0:56
  bathroom and you know, I don't know, I, I guess it's very
• 1:01
  quiet. I don't know, I just like didn't
• 1:03
  hear anything. So I don't know if they came to
• 1:05
  my door or they just skipped me and they were like, he doesn't
• 1:09
  look like he will answer the door.
• 1:11
  He doesn't care about mountain lanes or something.
• 1:12
  But maybe they skipped my door. I don't know, I don't know.
• 1:16
  But they went over to Elizabeth's house and they
• 1:18
  knocked on her door and they alerted the neighborhood.
• 1:21
  So she so she sent me the alarm text and I was like, hey.
• 1:27
  And I got like a 5 minute lecture from this police officer
• 1:31
  too, so I don't know why he didn't.
• 1:37
  I don't know, I think I'm just non essential honestly.
• 1:40
  Maybe. I think that's it.
• 1:44
  They were like this. One doesn't need to know, it's
• 1:46
  fine. Also, they know that I have a
• 1:50
  strong fear of mountain lions. I watch way too many
• 1:52
  documentaries of. Yeah, You haven't seen those
• 1:55
  videos of mountain lions carrying people, like, up into
• 1:57
  trees or no, you know, chasing people on trails, hiking trails.
• 2:02
  No. I'm from Pennsylvania, We don't
• 2:04
  have to worry. About that, yeah.
• 2:06
  I don't play with mountain lions.
• 2:08
  No way. Yeah, even when I walked my car
• 2:12
  this morning, I I kind of looked over my shoulder.
• 2:15
  Really. Oh yeah, to go get my breakfast
• 2:18
  burrito. Well, bad.
• 2:20
  I had a little pep to my step this morning walking to my car.
• 2:26
  That just, like totally ruins my plans to go to Trader Joe's bad.
• 2:31
  Anyways, hello everyone, thank you for joining us.
• 2:34
  We are so excited for today's episode.
• 2:37
  As you might have guessed, this is not our Twin Peaks episode.
• 2:43
  We have been working very hard for our Twin Peaks episode, but
• 2:48
  as you can imagine, the Twin Peaks episode needs a lot of
• 2:52
  preparation and we are just not there yet.
• 2:56
  We are working hard on it, but honestly, I am loving Twin Peaks
• 3:02
  just so, so much and I just don't want to rush it.
• 3:07
  We're both at Twin Peaks to return.
• 3:12
  We both finished the first two seasons.
• 3:15
  We watched Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me, so we're in the final
• 3:18
  season. The final season's a doozy.
• 3:23
  That's not something you could just like binge through very
• 3:26
  quickly. So we're getting close, but we
• 3:29
  still need a little bit more time to finish preparation,
• 3:33
  honestly. So we're doing today's fun
• 3:37
  episode. But Elizabeth, it's been so fun
• 3:40
  watching Twin Peaks, though. I just can't wait for that
• 3:42
  episode. I, I was totally unexpected.
• 3:46
  I feel like we've both like kind of fallen down the Twin Peaks
• 3:48
  rabbit hole. Seriously.
• 3:51
  We had a whole walk and discussion about just Twin Peaks
• 3:54
  yesterday, yeah. It's been so hard not to like
• 3:59
  look anything up or like no Reddit boards like I know and I
• 4:04
  can't even like really look up costumes because I'm afraid I'm
• 4:07
  going to spoil things for myself either.
• 4:10
  It's. You very easily could.
• 4:12
  You very easily could. It's a real pain in the ass
• 4:15
  honestly. And like, it was terrible
• 4:17
  because for a while I was like super ahead of you and I just
• 4:21
  texted Spencer. I was like let me know when you
• 4:23
  start the return like. I actually started ahead of you
• 4:28
  for a bit there and then I fell behind and then it's just I even
• 4:33
  like read this one Vogue article about the costumes, but even
• 4:36
  still, I was reading it with like one eye close just being
• 4:39
  like, hey, be careful, Vogue, like don't say anything too
• 4:42
  crazy Now, you know, just just soft, you know.
• 4:48
  Don't divulge too much, just enough.
• 4:51
  Surface level costume, costume information.
• 4:56
  But so yeah, our next episode will definitely be about Twin
• 5:00
  Peaks. Just give us a little bit more
• 5:01
  time. But today's episode is something
• 5:07
  that we've been talking about for a little bit now and we're
• 5:10
  excited to finally do it. I'm so excited.
• 5:15
  We are going to be doing our first annual for spring break,
• 5:19
  our first annual one costume to Rule Them All tournament.
• 5:25
  Yeah, and I was so excited. We're going to kind of do it for
• 5:28
  March Madness, but is now May so.
• 5:32
  How it worked out? Here we are Elizabeth.
• 5:37
  I'm so excited. So what we're going to do, we
• 5:40
  are going to be taking all of our one costume rule of the
• 5:43
  malls from 2025 S season 5. All of our costumes from this
• 5:49
  year do not count. So the 2025 season, which
• 5:51
  started with Nosferatu going all the way to White Christmas, we
• 6:00
  we removed a couple. Yeah, we decided.
• 6:05
  We got together in a production meeting and we selected 32
• 6:09
  contestants. Sometimes we picked 2 from a
• 6:13
  movie, sometimes we only picked 1 and they had to be our choices
• 6:17
  from those movies, so we didn't get to choose a new one.
• 6:22
  Which actually some of them looking back on, I'm like, why
• 6:24
  did I pick this costume? I know.
• 6:28
  I know I was actually thinking about 1:00 last night and I was
• 6:31
  like, why did I not pick that costume?
• 6:34
  Yeah, it was the Elizabeth movie, actually, the Cate
• 6:37
  Blanchett one. I was like, why didn't I not
• 6:39
  pick the Virgin Queen costume? Right.
• 6:42
  I can't believe it. Like we didn't choose that.
• 6:47
  Like I'm low key shocked. I.
• 6:49
  Dumb. And we've done so many of these
• 6:51
  at this point, like, I forget things like very quickly now.
• 6:56
  So we are going to do, I believe it's a five round tournament.
• 7:00
  We are going to, we put all these 32 contestants into a hat.
• 7:06
  We're going to be picking these names at random.
• 7:07
  A. Hat, Spencer.
• 7:09
  Well when they say a hat, I mean a canister.
• 7:13
  And today's canister is my Xenomorph popcorn bucket.
• 7:21
  I got this from the Alien Romulus showing.
• 7:24
  You'll see all the contestants in here, so we'll be picking
• 7:29
  them at random and then we'll be putting them against each other
• 7:36
  and then Elizabeth and I will then be debating on which
• 7:41
  costume truly is. The one costume to rule them
• 7:46
  all. Yeah, over the other until we'll
• 7:49
  be going round to round until we have our true one costume rule
• 7:54
  them all of Season 5. Yeah.
• 7:56
  And we just figured that's a good way to, you know, do a good
• 8:02
  spring break episode until we have a good Twin Peaks episode
• 8:06
  for you all. So I'm excited to get into it.
• 8:09
  I think we should give everyone a good little sound bite,
• 8:13
  though. One costume, rule them all.
• 8:14
  Why don't we hit it for a good measure?
• 8:16
  Yeah, the one costume to rule them all.
• 8:26
  All right, Elizabeth, Are you ready to start pulling some
• 8:28
  names? I am ready.
• 8:30
  Honestly, this is the part I've been excited for the most.
• 8:33
  All right, Elizabeth, Are you ready?
• 8:35
  Yeah, we're. Going to start pulling names.
• 8:40
  All right, our first contestant and these have been shuffled a
• 8:47
  million times. Our first contestant is Ellen
• 8:54
  Hutter and the teal dress from Nose Variety.
• 8:58
  Oh yeah, oh man, her with those lilacs.
• 9:05
  Yes. Losing her shit already.
• 9:08
  I actually really did love that dress.
• 9:10
  That was a good. One, it is a gorgeous one.
• 9:13
  And she will be competing against Don Vito Corleone from
• 9:20
  The Godfather. That's tough competition there.
• 9:28
  Wow. Wow, OK.
• 9:32
  Wow, wow, wow. OK, in the next bracket, here we
• 9:37
  have Queen Amidala and her famous red orb look, the one
• 9:43
  that was just famous, famous marketing that I mean really
• 9:48
  carried The Phantom Menace. Oh yeah.
• 9:50
  Oh yeah. So I mean, everyone knows that
• 9:53
  look, I mean need to paint you a picture there.
• 9:56
  And she is up against the Righteous Gemstones and their
• 10:02
  Angel wing costumes. OK.
• 10:09
  All right, that's. That's stiff competition right
• 10:11
  there. Is it?
• 10:17
  I don't know. Coming up next, we have Princess
• 10:22
  Rey, nice, the queen and never was from House of the Dragon in
• 10:28
  her battle armor. Honestly, the armor that she
• 10:32
  should have wore when she should have been turning back spelling
• 10:35
  Princess Rey nice and let's see who she's up in battle against.
• 10:44
  She is up against from the movie The debatably Christmas movie
• 10:53
  White Christmas. Stop.
• 10:58
  Which one? Judy and her legs look doing all
• 11:02
  those cartwheels. Her name was Vera Allen, right?
• 11:06
  That's the actress's name. Oh, I.
• 11:08
  Believe. So, yeah, so Judy, giving all
• 11:12
  those legs, giving legs, I'll say giving legs.
• 11:18
  Oh man, oh man. Look.
• 11:24
  Didn't see that one coming. No.
• 11:28
  All right, Next up from the film Elizabeth Cate Blanchett plays
• 11:35
  Queen Elizabeth. We have Elizabeth and her all
• 11:38
  black annoyed look as she finds out that her potential king to
• 11:45
  be is at an orgy. Yeah, love that look.
• 11:49
  That's what a good one. That is the one where, well,
• 11:53
  we'll talk about later when we get to debates and oh, this is
• 12:02
  this is a good one. And Queen Elizabeth is against
• 12:08
  Queen Elizabeth is against a real suitor against a lot of
• 12:12
  people's, you know, real heartthrob.
• 12:18
  Mr. Darcy at Dawn is here. 2 English icons up against.
• 12:26
  Each other from Pride and Prejudice by Jacqueline Duran.
• 12:35
  That's stiff competition. Yeah.
• 12:42
  All right. Next up, we're filling out here
• 12:47
  from the film Shakespeare in Love, designed by Sandy Powell.
• 12:51
  We have Will Shakespeare in his classic vest.
• 13:01
  All right, that's a good one. I do love that vest.
• 13:03
  Yeah, that's a good Renaissance Fair costume.
• 13:07
  Yeah, you need one. He has a tough, tough battle
• 13:11
  against Queen Amidala and her goth Amidala.
• 13:16
  Oh. Going on to the next battle, we
• 13:25
  have Glenda the good witch and her bubble dress.
• 13:30
  All right, that is from Wicked if you didn't make that guess.
• 13:41
  And Glenda fighting pure evil. Some would say Louis Depantilac
• 13:48
  in his red demon suit. Oh man.
• 13:54
  Louis in a red demon suit from Interview with the Vampire. 2
• 14:03
  completely different people there all right from Peaky
• 14:11
  Blinders. We have Polly Gray in.
• 14:14
  Her. Tailored bad ass suit and her
• 14:22
  competition will be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
• 14:36
  I feel like they would not get along.
• 14:38
  The randomness here is quite excellent.
• 14:41
  I gotta say Next up we have Cleopatra and her Rome arrival
• 14:50
  look, the all gold look. All gold.
• 14:55
  Spectacular. I mean, I love that look.
• 15:00
  That was one of the few looks that you and I both agreed on.
• 15:03
  Yeah, I think that was the only one we came across from last
• 15:06
  year. This is a hard one.
• 15:09
  Cleopatra is against Cersei in her coronation gown.
• 15:15
  Oh Dang. That's going to be hard for you,
• 15:18
  Spencer. Yeah, I don't like that one now.
• 15:24
  And that fills out our the left side of our bracket.
• 15:28
  So let's go over 2 to right. OK.
• 15:33
  Starting off hot, we have Sarah in her Labyrinth Masquerade
• 15:38
  gown. Sarah's Labyrinth gown.
• 15:49
  That's an iconic gown. Oh.
• 15:51
  Yeah. Oh man.
• 15:56
  I don't like it when you laugh like that.
• 16:00
  Stiff competition Sarah in her labyrinth gown against Eric
• 16:04
  Northman in his hot track suits. Oh my gosh.
• 16:14
  What? That's a hard decision.
• 16:20
  Oh man. From True Blood, For those of
• 16:25
  you who might not know, then we have the Wicked Witch of the
• 16:30
  West in her pointy hat against Queen Elizabeth's on the town
• 16:43
  Look from Shakespeare in Love. Oh, the Peacock dress.
• 16:51
  Yeah, I took a closer look at it for the one that we picked and
• 16:55
  it was actually the one that I didn't see a lot of Peacock.
• 16:58
  I took a closer look at the one we picked and it was actually
• 17:01
  the one that she wore to the theater and then like when she
• 17:05
  was like like leaving at the end of the play.
• 17:09
  So it's basically like the final look we see her in.
• 17:13
  I I re listened to it. Queen Elizabeth final look,
• 17:21
  Shakespeare in love. So I'll put Shakespeare in love
• 17:26
  for there. OK, All right, White Christmas
• 17:31
  strikes again, but this time is both Betty and Judy for the
• 17:35
  sisters duo act. That's funny.
• 17:47
  And she is up against, or they I should say both sisters are up
• 17:52
  against Indiana Jones and his jacket and hat combo.
• 17:58
  Amazing. Incredible.
• 18:01
  Doctor Jones almost done, everyone.
• 18:11
  Next up, we have Queen Elizabeth again.
• 18:13
  Wow. Queen Elizabeth is just really
• 18:15
  repped hard in this season. This time this is the Cate
• 18:19
  Blanchett Queen Elizabeth, but this is her and her coronation
• 18:24
  look, but this is after her coronation when she's parting.
• 18:31
  And this was also used for the promotional poster.
• 18:34
  Oh yeah. But her competition is Claudia
• 18:45
  from Interview for the Vampire and her baby Lou look.
• 18:50
  Stop. Baby Lou look that is season 2
• 18:56
  of Interview with the Vampire. Next up we have Jareth from
• 19:03
  Labyrinth and his glam rock Dracula look.
• 19:06
  That would be the first look you see him in.
• 19:17
  And oh, that's tight. Jareth will be up against from
• 19:23
  True Blood Lafayette with the belt in the pilot that says
• 19:28
  Lafayette on it. Oh no, I wanted both of them to
• 19:38
  go far. All right, only three more
• 19:46
  brackets to fill. We have William Thatcher from A
• 19:52
  Knight's Towel from the Golden Years Ball.
• 19:55
  Look next, and William Thatcher will be up against the King of
• 20:07
  Birmingham himself, Thomas Shelby and his strut.
• 20:11
  Look, I. Like that?
• 20:15
  That's a tough one. All right, Next up we have
• 20:25
  Alphaba and her Defying Gravity. Look.
• 20:32
  That's a good one. And Alphaba will be up against
• 20:43
  from Memoirs of a Geisha, Cheo's Cherry, Oh no, Chia's no Dance.
• 20:50
  Look, that is of competition again.
• 21:03
  And for our final bracket, we have Daenerys Targaryen and her
• 21:09
  winter coat from the final seasons of Game of Thrones,
• 21:13
  designed by Michelle Clapton. And the final competitor will be
• 21:22
  Mickey and Kai for Mickey 17 and their inside out snow suits.
• 21:27
  So we have two snow suits. Oh my gosh.
• 21:34
  OK. And that is the one costume to
• 21:38
  rule them all. 25th 2025 tournament.
• 21:44
  This is crazy. Like this is crazy.
• 21:48
  This is crazy, but I don't know. We got some good ones here, we
• 21:52
  got some good ones here, some disappointments, 'cause I know
• 21:55
  some good stars are going to be left behind in the beginning
• 21:59
  round and some, some I know are going to get defeated pretty
• 22:04
  early here. But I don't know.
• 22:05
  But I love, like you said, the randomness of this.
• 22:08
  It's pretty perfect, 'cause you were like, oh, we're going to
• 22:11
  play by NBA rules and I like, didn't understand what that
• 22:16
  meant and I was. Like OK and.
• 22:18
  You're like, it's going to be random.
• 22:19
  And I was like, I don't know. You.
• 22:23
  Were right though this is this is pretty wild and amazing.
• 22:26
  It's pretty fun. All right, Elizabeth, let's take
• 22:29
  a quick break and when we come back, we're going to get
• 22:31
  directly into the tournament. Yeah, Spencer, Are you ready to
• 22:40
  make some tough decisions? I am.
• 22:43
  I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to
• 22:45
  this. Are you ready?
• 22:47
  I'm as ready as I will ever be. All right, well, let's get into
• 22:52
  it. Let's begin starting with our
• 22:55
  first battle. We have Ellen Hutter from
• 22:59
  Nosferatu in her teal dress with the lilacs against Don Vito
• 23:04
  Corleone from The Godfather. I want to say this is hard, but
• 23:12
  I already know my choice well. OK, you go first.
• 23:17
  I I think it's got to be Don Vito cuz he's it's just so
• 23:23
  classic. It's just, it's so classic.
• 23:27
  Everyone knows that character and like Ellen's dress, that's a
• 23:32
  gorgeous dress. It like it conveys so much about
• 23:36
  her character in that moment, but it's not, it's not his suit.
• 23:42
  It's not his suit at the wedding where he's like in charge and
• 23:47
  taken charge. Yeah, I think I agree with you.
• 23:51
  I I actually was originally gonna say Ellen Hunter, but then
• 23:54
  when I think about it, I like, I love the costumes of Nosferatu,
• 23:58
  but I don't think I love, I love that costume, but I think I just
• 24:03
  love Nosferatu as a whole. But that that costume for the
• 24:08
  Don, like that is the iconic costume, you know, you think of
• 24:13
  with the red rose and the suit and the cat.
• 24:17
  Like that is the iconic look and like that specific dress.
• 24:21
  Like I had to use so many words to describe that dress for
• 24:25
  people to understand which one I'm maybe talking about.
• 24:28
  You. Know so I think this one easily
• 24:31
  goes to the Godfather. Absolutely.
• 24:34
  All right, so we're going to put the Don.
• 24:38
  Sorry, Ellen Hutter. Sorry.
• 24:43
  I think she would understand. Honestly.
• 24:44
  She probably wouldn't want to compete against Don Vita
• 24:47
  Corleone. She's like, I have a vampire to
• 24:49
  deal with. I cannot take on another
• 24:52
  stressful situation right now. Next up we have the red orb
• 24:59
  Queen Amidala against the Gemstone siblings and their
• 25:03
  Angel wings designed by Christina Flannery.
• 25:09
  This is just hilarious. To talk about it really is.
• 25:14
  I love both of these looks, but for me it goes, it goes to the
• 25:19
  queen. It goes to the queen.
• 25:21
  I dressed up in the red orb costume one year for Halloween.
• 25:27
  Yeah, because as a small child I just, I loved it so.
• 25:31
  I mean, yeah. I mean, it's just Queen Amidala.
• 25:34
  Like this was used to resurrect the Star Wars fandom in the late
• 25:41
  90s to bring people back to the theaters.
• 25:44
  This specific costume. For.
• 25:47
  Her marketing. So dare I say, I have a feeling
• 25:53
  Queen Amidala's probably going to be making it far in this
• 25:56
  tournament? Yeah, I think so.
• 25:58
  As much as I love the Gemstone siblings, and I really was
• 26:01
  hoping they were going to. Go far here.
• 26:03
  That's such. That's such a funny moment.
• 26:05
  That's such a funny moment. I mean, they have jet packs,
• 26:08
  they have feathers. And and like, it's just, it's,
• 26:12
  it's so such a like simple but hilarious look when you put the
• 26:18
  jet packs on. It's so perfect, but it's.
• 26:21
  A bummer. The Queen Amidala?
• 26:23
  That's an icon costume. The Gemstones probably would
• 26:27
  have defeated Ellen Hutter, but it's hard when you have Queen
• 26:31
  Amidala, not the. Queen of Naboo.
• 26:37
  Red Orb Amidala. All right, Next up we have
• 26:41
  Princess Renisse, the Queen of Never Was, designed by Caroline
• 26:45
  McCall against Judy giving legs look from White Christmas,
• 26:50
  designed by Edith Head. Yikes.
• 26:58
  I love both of these looks and they're both like perfect in
• 27:02
  their own way. Yeah, that's a tough one.
• 27:10
  I don't know when I I think a lot.
• 27:22
  We should just put crickets after you announced that one.
• 27:25
  I know. I guess when I think of White
• 27:32
  Christmas, I think specifically about this look of Judy's.
• 27:37
  Like to me, that is just a whole, the reason why I wanted
• 27:40
  to do White Christmas was because of that whole 2 minutes
• 27:45
  of Judy doing this little dance. I don't know how memorable this
• 27:53
  Princess Reynee's costume is going to be years from now.
• 27:56
  As much as I. That is my favorite character.
• 28:00
  That's my favorite scene, my favorite actress from probably
• 28:04
  the whole series. Yeah, I agree, especially
• 28:09
  because like I think when you think of her character and the
• 28:12
  look of her character, you think more of her hair and like the
• 28:19
  hair styling and her her just regular gowns.
• 28:24
  Then you do with that final look.
• 28:26
  Like it's so impactful in the show in that moment, but it's
• 28:31
  not the look of the character that sticks with you.
• 28:36
  But Dang, that white dress with her legs.
• 28:40
  Yeah, then the cartwheels. People, people have been
• 28:44
  watching that movie for 60 years.
• 28:49
  Oh my gosh, can I just use this moment to address all the
• 28:52
  comments and messages I kept getting for people saying that I
• 28:56
  was. People kept saying I was calling
• 29:00
  the actress by the wrong name. They're like, her name is not
• 29:02
  Judy. Her name is not Judy.
• 29:04
  I'm like, yes, I know that's the character.
• 29:07
  'S name. I got multiple comments and
• 29:11
  emails and I'd just like to let everyone know that I know that's
• 29:16
  the character's name, but thank you for reminding me.
• 29:20
  Yeah. Occasionally we do use character
• 29:22
  names because this is a podcast about film and television.
• 29:26
  Yeah. So thank you for giving me this
• 29:30
  platform. So it sounds like we're in
• 29:31
  agreement. I think it's Judy giving legs.
• 29:34
  I think it is Judy giving legs. I agree.
• 29:40
  Giving legs. All right, Next up we have Queen
• 29:46
  Elizabeth from the film. Elizabeth, all black and annoyed
• 29:49
  because her husband is at her potential husband's at an orgy
• 29:54
  and Mr. Darcy's at dawn. Look, honestly, you would think
• 30:02
  that I would be with Cate Blanchett in this camp, but this
• 30:07
  might be the one time I might be on.
• 30:09
  Pride and Prejudice aside, Elizabeth.
• 30:12
  As Mr. Darcy at dawn, not properly dressed, coming to ask
• 30:19
  for Elizabeth. What is more romantic?
• 30:21
  What is more iconic? I agree.
• 30:26
  I agree as much as like that look of of Cate Blanchett's
• 30:32
  slaps like it's not Mr. Darcy at dawn.
• 30:37
  Right. See, This is why I'm annoyed
• 30:38
  with myself and I was thinking about this last night is why
• 30:41
  didn't I pick the Virgin Queen look?
• 30:43
  Because if I would have picked the Virgin Queen, look, I would
• 30:47
  have picked the Virgin Queen over Mr. Darcy.
• 30:50
  You would have. But that is not the case.
• 30:54
  That's not what I picked. So sounds like Mr. Darcy won the
• 30:59
  day, he won the Don, and he won the day.
• 31:02
  He won. Mr. Darcy, is it Mr. Mr. or is
• 31:06
  it Mister by the way? It's just Mr. All right, I
• 31:12
  think. I don't think that's fine.
• 31:16
  Mr. is just the abbreviation of the other.
• 31:19
  I don't know. All right.
• 31:22
  Next up we have Will Shakespeare from Shakespeare in Love and his
• 31:26
  classic Blue Vest we talked about with Sandy Powell.
• 31:31
  And then we have Goth Amidala when she realizes that the
• 31:35
  Senate is not coming to her aid and she gets a very dramatic
• 31:40
  with things. Again.
• 31:44
  I just feel like Queen Amandala is just pulling out the stops
• 31:47
  here. As much as I loved how will
• 31:49
  Shakespeare's just classically hot, just sticks with what he
• 31:54
  knows and just wears the same thing over and over, which is
• 31:56
  very classical. This medieval renaissance just,
• 32:00
  you know, change your outfit once a year type of thing.
• 32:03
  I know I look hot, so I'm going to wear the same thing over and
• 32:06
  over. I just love how melodramatic and
• 32:09
  over the top Queen Amandala was. Same.
• 32:13
  Same. It's hard to be like, they
• 32:17
  pulled out all the stops for her and it worked every single time.
• 32:21
  Yeah. And it's like, honestly, like
• 32:24
  you could show me all of her costumes from this movie and I
• 32:27
  would like be able to tell you like the scenes associated with
• 32:32
  them. So sounds like it's goth
• 32:35
  Ammadala handedly. It is goth Ammadala.
• 32:39
  All right, Next up, this is going to be a tougher 1.
• 32:42
  Glinda in her bubble dress at the Rival and Wicked versus
• 32:47
  Louis Dipontalac in his red demon suit.
• 32:51
  Oh, I really I really did not want to see these two against
• 32:56
  each other. No, I that's a hard one because
• 33:03
  they're both incredible, especially like for Louis,
• 33:06
  that's such a turning point in the show.
• 33:12
  But my girl Glenda that. I guess I feel torn in both
• 33:18
  ways. I just I'm like wickeded out.
• 33:22
  I guess I'm just like removed from Wicked.
• 33:24
  But it's such an iconic, that costume.
• 33:27
  That dress helped Paul Taswell win the Oscar, though.
• 33:32
  Yeah, you're so right. I think this is easily Glenda's.
• 33:37
  This is, this is Glenda. This is Glenda.
• 33:40
  Yeah. I mean, Louis had so many
• 33:43
  costumes, but people, this, that's probably not Louis's like
• 33:47
  most iconic costume, though. It is such a good one because
• 33:51
  it's seriously Louis like, like at the peak of his transition
• 33:56
  and he's really spiraling. It's such a good one.
• 33:58
  But Glenda, that's, that's probably Glenda's most iconic
• 34:04
  costume, I would say, is that bubble dress.
• 34:06
  I agree, yeah. I mean, he won an Oscar like you
• 34:09
  said he did. So yeah.
• 34:12
  Glenda bubble dress. All right, Next up we have Polly
• 34:18
  Gray from Peaky Blinders in her badass suit.
• 34:21
  I believe that was like season 5 when she's leaning against a car
• 34:27
  against Dorothy. Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz
• 34:30
  and her Ruby slippers. You know, it's rough.
• 34:40
  It is rough and I got to give it to Dorothy.
• 34:46
  I don't know, maybe it's just like childhood nostalgia, but.
• 34:52
  I hate that. It's an enduring 1.
• 34:55
  I hate that. I really dislike that.
• 35:00
  I mean, you're probably right. The thing that.
• 35:04
  So this is how I feel, and I didn't get to say this during
• 35:07
  Wizard of Oz. I'll be honest, I Wizard of Oz
• 35:11
  does not do it for me. I've always found like, I'm just
• 35:14
  not a Wizard of Oz person. It's not that.
• 35:17
  It's not that it's a bad movie. It's obviously a classic film.
• 35:21
  It has its place. It's just never been like I've
• 35:25
  seen it so many times. I just don't get excited by it.
• 35:28
  Yeah. I love the Wicked Witch of the
• 35:31
  West. Obviously iconic.
• 35:34
  The Dorothy costume to me is just like, what has it?
• 35:39
  What has it going for me is the true crime element of the Ruby
• 35:43
  slippers. I'm.
• 35:47
  Gonna give you the shoes of this dead woman.
• 35:52
  And the fact that they have all this wrong with that, they went
• 35:54
  missing and then they were found and they're so expensive, but
• 35:57
  they weren't. So I think we have to give it to
• 36:01
  Dorothy. I think we have to give it to
• 36:03
  Dorothy. Sorry, Polly.
• 36:05
  Polly, you deserve so much better then a round one exit.
• 36:11
  All right, this is the one I really was dreading.
• 36:14
  Cleopatra and her Rome arrival look versus Cersei in her
• 36:18
  coronation gown. I mean, I almost want to
• 36:27
  abstain. Well, if you abstain, you'll be
• 36:31
  very disappointed. No, no, I won't abstain because
• 36:38
  this is a Irene sheriff, by the way, versus Michelle Clapton.
• 36:44
  Yes. Cersei's Game of Thrones look.
• 36:49
  This is after she's destroyed the Sept of Baylor.
• 36:53
  I mean, that's my favorite Game of Thrones costume, my favorite
• 36:56
  Game of Thrones scene, Iconic. And then Cleopatra to me.
• 37:00
  I love the drama of that film. Yeah, so much Elizabeth Taylor.
• 37:07
  All the drama behind the scenes, the production, the scandal, the
• 37:12
  affairs, the money. All the money.
• 37:22
  And that scene in particular is so over the top.
• 37:24
  Yeah, and then when she wears it again at the very end, it's her,
• 37:29
  it's her, it's her burial shroud as well.
• 37:32
  Oh my gosh, I don't know, Elizabeth.
• 37:38
  I know and like, I love the Cersei look too 'cause like
• 37:40
  that, that's another like character turning point where
• 37:44
  it's like, OK, she's done now. Honestly Elizabeth, I know this
• 37:51
  is controversial, but I would give it to Cersei.
• 37:57
  I don't know though. But it's also hard because
• 38:00
  Cleopatra, to me, that look is definition Golden Age Hollywood
• 38:04
  too, or the death of golden age Hollywood too because.
• 38:08
  Like when I think. Of turning point.
• 38:11
  When I think of Cersei I think of like season 1 Cersei with her
• 38:15
  long hair and her red dress and like her her armor details.
• 38:20
  I don't really think of later seasons when she is in charge.
• 38:28
  Well, that black look to me is her saying goodbye to that
• 38:33
  Cersei like it is the funeral for not only like, you know,
• 38:39
  obviously her kids, which she just got murdered, but it's also
• 38:42
  like saying it's a funeral for that Cersei that she's letting
• 38:46
  go of because that Cersei also died leading up to what has now
• 38:51
  happened. Yeah.
• 38:55
  I think, I think we have to give it to Cleopatra because I just
• 39:00
  think it's just a turning point in cinematic history.
• 39:05
  I agree that just has too much baggage with it.
• 39:09
  Yeah, I agree. And I fucking hate that.
• 39:21
  It's OK, Spencer. It's OK.
• 39:25
  I'm gutted. I know, I know.
• 39:29
  Anyways, moving on to their side of the bracket, another one the
• 39:37
  with two that's we're going to say goodbye to 1 which I'm
• 39:40
  devastated by. Sarah's labyrinth gown versus
• 39:43
  Eric Northman in a hot tracksuit.
• 39:47
  Another one where I don't want to say goodbye to either one.
• 39:50
  I'm so annoyed. I'm so annoyed.
• 39:53
  But I think we're in agreement that we have to give it to
• 39:56
  Sarah. It has to be Sarah.
• 39:58
  I really want to see Eric Northman in a hot tracksuit go
• 40:02
  all the way to the championship. Like, maybe if we had chosen
• 40:07
  like, Eric Northman's, like, classic, like tank top and like
• 40:11
  leather jacket, there'd be a little more competition.
• 40:14
  But like, wow, at the track suits are so incredible.
• 40:19
  But I mean, like, they cannot stand up against Sarah's
• 40:24
  labyrinth fall gown. That gorgeous, gorgeous costume.
• 40:31
  Oh my gosh, so funny. Oh man, Eric Northman, you
• 40:35
  deserve better. So many first round exits that
• 40:38
  are just looking down on us with such anger and shame.
• 40:46
  Next up we have the Wicked Witch of the West versus Queen
• 40:50
  Elizabeth from Shakespeare in Love played by Judi Dench in her
• 40:53
  final look. Even though these were both my
• 40:59
  picks from one costume to rule them all, I think it's Wicked
• 41:03
  Witch of the West. Yeah, it's, it's so iconic.
• 41:08
  And like, you can tell how much, you know, inspiration Paul
• 41:13
  Tazewell took for the new films. It's just it's classic through
• 41:18
  and through. Yeah, though I do love that
• 41:21
  Queen Elizabeth look that Sandy Powell did.
• 41:24
  It's so good. It's good museum piece.
• 41:26
  I mean, it wasn't a museum, actually, but OK.
• 41:30
  Wicked Witch of the West, Lost the lost.
• 41:33
  Lots of Wizard of Oz representation.
• 41:36
  In this tournament. All right, the sisters from
• 41:40
  White Christmas are back against Indiana Jones.
• 41:45
  I think it's time that White Christmas gets a little
• 41:48
  disappointment today. Yeah, I, I, I can't disagree
• 41:53
  with that as much as I love the sisters.
• 41:56
  Look, Indiana, it's Indiana Jones.
• 42:00
  It's Indiana Jones and the Hat. The hat, the jacket, like, come
• 42:05
  on. I mean, remember, we had Deborah
• 42:09
  Landis on the podcast and she talked about sitting by the pool
• 42:12
  and aging the jacket. Like I had a pool with George
• 42:16
  Lucas. Oh.
• 42:17
  My gosh. So good.
• 42:21
  And Steven Spielberg? You can't.
• 42:23
  Go wrong. Yeah, all right.
• 42:27
  Cate Blanchett is back as Queen Elizabeth and her coronation
• 42:31
  look against Claudia and her baby Lou look from Interview of
• 42:35
  a Vampire. OK, these are both my choice.
• 42:41
  I'm like Oh my gosh, like the Queen Elizabeth look icon that
• 42:48
  look carried carried the advertising for that film.
• 42:56
  But like, I really do think the Baby Luke costume for Claudia is
• 43:06
  an icon of that show. Like, you show it to people.
• 43:12
  And anyone I think who is like, up with pop culture and like
• 43:17
  what is currently popular in television is going to know what
• 43:21
  you're talking about, know exactly what's going on when you
• 43:24
  talk about Baby Lou or show them a picture of it from the show.
• 43:32
  So personally, I kind of want to get it, give it to Claudia, but
• 43:37
  I don't know Spencer, what? What do you think?
• 43:40
  I actually am in agreement. I'm thinking Claudia's baby Lou
• 43:44
  because I I think that baby Lou, there's just so much
• 43:50
  storytelling there. You exceed her.
• 43:51
  Like she works so hard to be in this play, but when you see her
• 43:54
  in baby Lou, you see like the actual disappointment, like
• 43:57
  right at the surface there. She knows that she's in a bad
• 44:00
  place. And I honestly, I don't, I
• 44:03
  barely remember this coronation look honestly, like I remember
• 44:06
  being in the marketing, but like it's just not to me.
• 44:11
  It's just like another one of her gangs.
• 44:14
  Like it's just, it doesn't do it for me in terms of like the
• 44:17
  iconography it's. Beautiful.
• 44:20
  Like it's it's great, but like, I just think that there's so
• 44:22
  many other like memorable costumes for Queen Elizabeth in
• 44:26
  this film. But when you say the baby Lou
• 44:29
  look, though, you know exactly what we're talking about.
• 44:33
  So I don't know how she'll do against Indiana Jones, but we'll
• 44:38
  talk about that later. All right, Next up we have
• 44:44
  Jareth's glam rock Dracula against Lafayette with the belt
• 44:48
  that says Lafayette. I I love Jareth's.
• 44:55
  I love that look. But for me it's Lafayette
• 44:59
  through and through. I Are you OK?
• 45:07
  Damn. Are you?
• 45:08
  Dying. I just was expecting that, but
• 45:14
  it's. I'm sorry.
• 45:15
  That is an iconic look of that show.
• 45:18
  And for that character, like I've read the books, you have
• 45:21
  not. He's not in the books.
• 45:25
  He's not in the books as much as you would think from watching
• 45:29
  the show and the way they built that character to outlive his
• 45:38
  book counterpart and the just such distinct wardrobe and
• 45:46
  costumes they created for this character.
• 45:51
  Incredible. And it started with this look.
• 45:55
  It tells you exactly who this man is and where it's going for
• 45:59
  him. All right, I'm gonna tell me
• 46:02
  twice. Shove me up.
• 46:03
  Jareth, you suck. Lafayette, you're in.
• 46:07
  Jareth is. Great, that's.
• 46:08
  Just if this. Happened Jareth like look from
• 46:13
  the labyrinth ball I there might have been a little more
• 46:16
  discussion. You're to hear first, folks,
• 46:21
  Lafayette with the belt that says Lafayette has been
• 46:24
  defeated, I mean has defeated Jarrett from Labyrinth, the
• 46:30
  Goblin King from Lafayette from True Blood.
• 46:35
  Did not see that coming. A real upset, but True Blood is
• 46:39
  really representing that look was designed by Danny Glicker.
• 46:43
  Yes. All right, that's exciting.
• 46:48
  Oh, it's getting spicy in here now.
• 46:54
  All right, we only got 2-3 more. We have William Thatcher's
• 47:01
  golden years look, the ball look against Thomas Shelby.
• 47:07
  So remember that William Thatcher look.
• 47:08
  That was the one that was kind of patchwork together.
• 47:11
  Yeah, very 70s. Against Thomas Shelby, that's
• 47:15
  the one that you know, he always does that long walk across from
• 47:19
  Birmingham. His wool coat flapping in the
• 47:23
  wind. With the lining underneath.
• 47:28
  I'm kind of with Thomas Shelby here just because I get chills
• 47:32
  whenever I see him walk. Yeah.
• 47:36
  We didn't talk about it, but Elizabeth and I went and saw The
• 47:39
  Immortal Man We did. I won't get into it.
• 47:44
  Didn't love the movie, but the best part?
• 47:48
  Seeing Thomas Shelby walk through Birmingham in his
• 47:51
  costume. When he gets his suit back on.
• 47:54
  Yep, incredible. Best part of the movie.
• 47:58
  So freaking good. Just it's something about it
• 48:02
  gives you chills every time. So but William Thatcher's look
• 48:09
  is good. I mean, but honestly, I think
• 48:11
  he's kind of carried by the music that people is dancing
• 48:15
  with how hot Heath Ledger is. I mean, the rizz of Heath
• 48:21
  Ledger. There's just a lot working there
• 48:23
  in that moment that just came together.
• 48:26
  So Thomas Shelby, you got it. All right.
• 48:34
  Next up, we have Alpha Buzz. Define gravity.
• 48:37
  Look against Cheo's snow dance. Look from Memoirs of a Geisha by
• 48:42
  Colleen Atwood. Yikes.
• 48:47
  I am going to say something controversial here, but I think
• 48:53
  I'm with Memoirs of a Geisha here.
• 48:56
  Same. That's such a good one.
• 49:00
  It's so good, it does so much. It really does.
• 49:05
  The textiles are beautiful. And then we have the lighting
• 49:09
  against it. We have, you know, the actual
• 49:12
  snow, the way it moves. Yeah.
• 49:17
  Not to say that the alphabet define gravity look also doesn't
• 49:21
  do all those things. It really does do a long
• 49:23
  movement and you know, she's literally flying around.
• 49:26
  We saw the behind the scenes and the up close textiles, the like
• 49:29
  mushroom aspect of it. But I don't know.
• 49:33
  I mean the snow dance look is really I mean that is like the
• 49:38
  defying defining image of minors of a geisha.
• 49:42
  So. I would agree.
• 49:45
  I would agree. I would agree.
• 49:47
  I just seen that coming. I thought Alphaba was really
• 49:50
  good to control this tournament here.
• 49:53
  I yeah, I mean, Alpha Buzz look is incredible.
• 49:59
  It's a movement. It's the thought that went into
• 50:01
  it is incredible. But Chio's snow dance look is
• 50:05
  just like the pinnacle of that movie and everything she's
• 50:12
  trying to achieve. Yeah.
• 50:15
  And just like the thought that went into it and she like had to
• 50:21
  dance that dance with like all the wind and just I, I don't,
• 50:29
  it's just, I love it. It's perfect, I think.
• 50:33
  All right, there we go. Cheetos snow dance.
• 50:42
  Look and for our final one, we have Daenerys Targaryen's winter
• 50:47
  coat look against the Mickey Simmons teen inside out snow
• 50:50
  suits. So those I remember, we were
• 50:52
  talking about how it was almost like the insides were kind of
• 50:55
  like on the outside. Yeah, like.
• 50:57
  The ship, to me, that's kind of an easy one.
• 51:00
  I think it's Daenerys. Targaryen the same.
• 51:02
  Yeah, yeah. I mean.
• 51:06
  Danny Winter coat. So a little Game of Thrones
• 51:10
  justice here. Yeah.
• 51:12
  All right. That completes round one.
• 51:14
  That's probably the hardest round I think.
• 51:16
  Yeah, the most disappointment. I know God, there was a lot of
• 51:20
  hard one there, a lot of disappointment.
• 51:23
  Should we just jump into the next round?
• 51:26
  I I think we should. I think we should.
• 51:29
  All right, so we're going back to the beginning.
• 51:32
  We have Don Vito Corleone against the Red orb Queen
• 51:36
  Amidala. This is hard.
• 51:41
  You know, it's actually not too hard for me.
• 51:44
  Really. I think it's Queen Nahmadala.
• 51:50
  I think you're right. I think you're right.
• 51:55
  While while they both have the iconography, they both have the
• 52:02
  iconography, they both have do the marketing, so they both have
• 52:07
  that factor. So now we're getting into the
• 52:09
  actual costume aspect. Yeah.
• 52:13
  And I just think Queen Amidala just has that more than than.
• 52:21
  Yeah. Than the dawn.
• 52:23
  Yeah, I so much work went into that look like so much research.
• 52:31
  Didn't say much thought. I think.
• 52:35
  The orbs lit up. Maybe.
• 52:38
  I can't remember if it was that or just like the material they
• 52:41
  used, like was meant to like catch and reflect the light.
• 52:45
  I forget. Yeah, which it was.
• 52:49
  I don't know, but it sounds like we're in agreement, right?
• 52:56
  Yeah, yeah, OK. Absolutely.
• 52:59
  Next up we have Judy giving Legs look from White Christmas
• 53:03
  against Mr. Darcy's Don look. It's Mr. Darcy.
• 53:11
  I would be OK with that. I still think Mr. Darcy's Don
• 53:14
  look to me. I think that is like the
• 53:16
  ultimate period costume. Yeah.
• 53:21
  Like. Like looking back at the 2000s,
• 53:25
  looking back at film, then it's an icon of the era.
• 53:30
  Yeah, I would agree. I think that is like, you know,
• 53:35
  the ultimate Jane Austen period romance.
• 53:39
  That's it. Mr. Darcy's dawn look, right.
• 53:46
  We're moving quickly here now. Next up, we got Goth Amidala
• 53:51
  against Glinda's bubble dress. That's a that's a battle there.
• 53:59
  I have to go for Glenda's bubble gown.
• 54:03
  Yeah. I, I just feel like in a lot of
• 54:08
  ways it does for the new Wicked films what the Red Orb did for
• 54:17
  The Phantom Menace. So I got I got to go with
• 54:22
  Glenda's bubble dress. Yeah, I'm with you there.
• 54:26
  As much as I love the goth Amidala look, I think I would
• 54:29
  actually like it more than the Phantom Menace red orb look.
• 54:34
  The Glenda bubble dress is. I mean, that was the marketing
• 54:38
  for Wicked. Yeah, that.
• 54:41
  Yeah, even almost more than Alpha Buzz.
• 54:47
  Yeah. All right.
• 54:49
  Next up we have Dorothy against Cleopatra. 02 Golden Age icon.
• 54:58
  Yeah, this is what we get for picking these two.
• 55:03
  Wow, that's hard. Oh man.
• 55:10
  Now we can't measure up the golden age Hollywood type thing
• 55:14
  against each other. I know.
• 55:18
  I think I have to pick Cleopatra.
• 55:24
  Same same. I think it just like meant so
• 55:31
  much more to the story than Dorothy's entire look.
• 55:36
  Like the only special part of Dorothy's look is the shoes.
• 55:40
  Yeah, it's the rest slippers. Yeah.
• 55:42
  The rest was just like, oh, she's, she's a child from
• 55:46
  Kansas. It's like there wasn't anything
• 55:49
  else special about it except that it's like in our cultural
• 55:53
  memory as being extraordinary. But Cleopatra, like Dang, the
• 56:00
  effort that had to go into that. There's like, people at home
• 56:03
  slamming their heads into their dashboards as they're driving.
• 56:06
  Like what? All right, but going back to the
• 56:11
  other end of the bracket. Oh, this is a tough one.
• 56:14
  Sarah's labyrinth gown against the Wicked Witch of the West.
• 56:19
  Oh. Yikes, that's controversial.
• 56:25
  I I kind of want to say Sarah's labyrinth gown.
• 56:34
  You can make a case for either or her.
• 56:36
  I know. They're for different reasons.
• 56:39
  The wicked witch wicked witch. I haven't the the Mountain Lion
• 56:45
  scared to coffee time you. Didn't get coffee?
• 56:50
  Wicked Witch of the West is iconic for its own reason.
• 56:54
  I mean, obviously the pointy hat, but Sarah's labyrinth gown,
• 56:59
  I mean, that's inspired creators, cosplayers.
• 57:04
  There's a, there's a whole event.
• 57:08
  Inspired by that one, you know, so it's almost just based on
• 57:12
  taste. I don't know, I think I'm gonna
• 57:24
  but remember that video we watched of Mr. Rogers
• 57:27
  Neighborhood? Yeah, that's like that's what I
• 57:28
  was. Just.
• 57:29
  Thinking of and her putting it on that was.
• 57:33
  Such a good video. I know it was so sweet, but then
• 57:40
  like Sarah's labyrinth gown, like so many people replicate
• 57:43
  that. Yeah, I think I'm going to give
• 57:51
  it to Sarah's. No.
• 58:01
  Is the Wicked Witch of the West? I'm I'm sticking with my guns.
• 58:05
  I'm gonna say the Wicked Witch. Of the West, Yeah.
• 58:07
  Sorry, Sarah. Oh man, Wicked Witch of the
• 58:13
  West, that's just, that just feels right.
• 58:17
  Oh man, OK. Indiana Jones or Claudia's baby
• 58:22
  Lou like that just has to. Be It's one of those things
• 58:34
  where I want to say Baby Lou, but like Indiana Jones.
• 58:39
  I just think it's Indiana Jones. I think it's Indiana Jones.
• 58:42
  Yeah, Sorry, Claudia. I mean, he just defines like
• 58:45
  adventure films to me. Like, that's all right,
• 58:52
  Lafayette and the belt against Thomas Shelby's Birmingham
• 58:56
  strutting suit. This is two of my favorite
• 58:59
  characters so this is so hard. Yeah, this is revenge for the
• 59:04
  Cersei Cleopatra debate. Yeah.
• 59:08
  So I'm going to actually have you go first.
• 59:13
  I think. Your two favorite children.
• 59:16
  Stop. Stop.
• 59:22
  Oh, cuz they're both also like character defining looks.
• 59:26
  Yeah, which makes it even harder.
• 59:32
  But I think when it comes down to like a costume design aspect,
• 59:39
  I'm gonna go with Lafayette because they really had to build
• 59:47
  that character With Thomas. It's the 1920s.
• 59:51
  There's like a set, kind of like there's a set rule book for how
• 59:56
  women dress, how men dress. They worked within that and
• 1:00:00
  found something that spot on, conveyed that character.
• 1:00:04
  But it wasn't. I don't think it has the level
• 1:00:07
  of character building that's in Lafayette's costume.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, I, I'm going to back you up on this.
• 1:00:15
  I'm going to give it to Lafayette also because Thomas
• 1:00:19
  Shelby, I mean, you're right, Like this, it didn't add
• 1:00:23
  anything to his character. I mean, it just eventually just
• 1:00:27
  it got stronger and stronger as he got like more accomplished.
• 1:00:31
  But you're right. I was also just like with the
• 1:00:33
  period though, too. So Lafayette, you know, let's
• 1:00:38
  let's give it to Lafayette. Yeah.
• 1:00:39
  Good for you, Lafayette. And then we have the snow dance
• 1:00:46
  look from Memoirs of a Geisha against Danny's winter coat.
• 1:00:57
  What do you think, Spencer? It's almost like I need to watch
• 1:01:08
  them both. I need 15 minutes.
• 1:01:13
  Excuse me, I want to say, I kind of want to say Danny's winter
• 1:01:24
  coat. I kind of want to say Cheo's
• 1:01:27
  snow dance look. I mean, you're right, so much
• 1:01:38
  goes into like the construction of those kimonos.
• 1:01:42
  Same for Danny's coat, though that like, wasn't.
• 1:01:46
  We talked about that too, like how much work went into that,
• 1:01:50
  that coat. I mean, that was a big part of
• 1:01:51
  our episode. And that was also like the
• 1:01:57
  construction that kind of had like the dragon detail as Danny
• 1:02:00
  traveled to the into the winter. Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of with
• 1:02:04
  Danny, honestly. You know, I think I'll back you
• 1:02:10
  up on that. I think, I think I'll back you
• 1:02:15
  up on that. Danny's winter coat.
• 1:02:20
  Oh man. We're.
• 1:02:22
  Getting too harder and harder. We're at the semi finals, I
• 1:02:30
  believe, no quarterfinals. Yeah, we're at the
• 1:02:34
  quarterfinals. OK, Quarterfinalist, we have Red
• 1:02:42
  Orb Queen Amidala against Mr. Darcy's Dawn.
• 1:02:48
  Look, wow, these could be two champions right here, honestly.
• 1:02:55
  How did it end up like this? Oh.
• 1:03:09
  That's so hard because like at 1, like I want to be like, oh,
• 1:03:15
  Queen Amidala. Like for us millennials, that's
• 1:03:17
  like such a childhood favorite. But then also on the other hand,
• 1:03:22
  for us millennials, Mr. Darcy's look is such a like, you know,
• 1:03:28
  like teen moment, like burned in our minds.
• 1:03:37
  So I'm like. To me, it just feels.
• 1:03:47
  I feel like it's Queen Amidala. I think you're right.
• 1:03:53
  Because I feel like Mr. Darcy's look, while it's, it's good, but
• 1:03:59
  it's also like, I don't know, I, I remember the moment and I
• 1:04:04
  remember the costume. But it's like, it's just that
• 1:04:07
  the shovel, the look that's carried by the moment and the
• 1:04:10
  acting and like the beauty and the grace of it and just like
• 1:04:14
  the tension and the romance. But like the costume of Queen
• 1:04:21
  Amidala too though. Like this.
• 1:04:22
  Just like I don't know it. Really holds up on its own.
• 1:04:27
  Yeah. Queen Amidala.
• 1:04:31
  It's Queen Amidala's. Mr. Darcy might have been able
• 1:04:35
  to go further on the other side of the bracket.
• 1:04:40
  Yeah. I'm sorry, Mr. Darcy, I was kind
• 1:04:45
  of rooting for you and I didn't think I was going to.
• 1:04:49
  All right. Glinda's bubble dress against
• 1:04:52
  Cleopatra. Dang, I don't know, Elizabeth.
• 1:04:57
  We have to make our choices. I don't.
• 1:04:59
  Oh, I think it's Cleopatra.
• 1:05:17
  I think so too. I think I would.
• 1:05:21
  I'm thinking of like costume designers today.
• 1:05:26
  Yeah. And I think that they would pick
• 1:05:29
  Cleopatra. Yeah.
• 1:05:32
  You know, like Cleopatra was like the model.
• 1:05:40
  Yeah. Even though there was such a
• 1:05:42
  messy film, like that moment with Elizabeth Taylor, that was
• 1:05:46
  like the mountain top of what you could do with costume
• 1:05:49
  design. Yeah.
• 1:05:53
  Even though that Glenda bubble dress was so beautiful.
• 1:06:00
  This is so much harder than I thought it was gonna be.
• 1:06:03
  I thought Glenda could win it all honestly.
• 1:06:05
  Yeah. All right, Wicked Witch of the
• 1:06:08
  West versus Indiana Jones Dang 2 icons.
• 1:06:16
  How do you even compare those two?
• 1:06:20
  Man. Both iconic for their own
• 1:06:22
  reasons. I'm gonna go with Wicked Witch
• 1:06:31
  of the West because I think her icon status has like actually
• 1:06:35
  influenced like, pop culture in a way that's like, defined how
• 1:06:39
  people even like, think of witches.
• 1:06:44
  I agree, yeah, no, it's definitely Wicked Witch of the
• 1:06:47
  West cause like those films influenced like, you know,
• 1:06:53
  everyone who made Indiana Jones like.
• 1:06:58
  And for our final one, Lafayette against Daenerys Targaryen and
• 1:07:04
  her would just rant. I'm thinking Lafayette with the
• 1:07:20
  name belt would body Daenerys Targaryen any day.
• 1:07:24
  I agree. I agree.
• 1:07:29
  I think it's Laugh I yet. Oh my gosh, sorry to Targaryen.
• 1:07:48
  All right, we are at the semi finals.
• 1:07:56
  I don't know. I don't.
• 1:07:58
  Know I don't know. So Queen Amidala's red orb look
• 1:08:11
  against Cleopatra. That gold gown against the red,
• 1:08:22
  I'm going to say Queen Amidala, 'cause.
• 1:08:30
  I'm going to say Queen Amidala also.
• 1:08:32
  I 'cause I almost feel like it is those films came out kind of
• 1:08:37
  like, I feel like I almost like what was a revival for film in a
• 1:08:43
  lot of ways when we started getting like Lord of the Rings,
• 1:08:47
  Pirates of the Caribbean, all those like new franchise films
• 1:08:53
  that kind of like, I feel like invigorated the industry right
• 1:08:58
  before streaming. Not to be dramatic.
• 1:09:02
  Knocked it out. I feel like Queen Amidala was
• 1:09:07
  like an almost like a new generations Cleopatra.
• 1:09:10
  Yes, absolutely. That's not dramatic.
• 1:09:14
  I think that's true. I think that's like almost like
• 1:09:17
  a good way to look at it, like all these years later showing
• 1:09:21
  like what you could do with costume design, with new
• 1:09:23
  technologies, new budgets, reviving like a new generations
• 1:09:27
  interest in like a new franchise, new studios, new
• 1:09:31
  energy. No disrespect to Cleopatra, but
• 1:09:37
  Red Orb, Amidala and then Wicked Witch of the West against
• 1:09:44
  Lafayette with the name belt. As much as I would love to see
• 1:09:50
  Lafayette go up against Queen Amidala, it's the Wicked Witch
• 1:09:55
  of the West. She she is an icon.
• 1:10:02
  Wicked Witch of the West defeated Lafayette.
• 1:10:07
  Lafayette really made it far. He didn't make it far.
• 1:10:12
  Great job. I really didn't think True Blood
• 1:10:14
  was going to make as far as True Blood did.
• 1:10:17
  And I just want to give major props to the True Blood fam for
• 1:10:21
  doing great work in a 2025 tournament.
• 1:10:25
  All your True Blooders out there.
• 1:10:27
  I forgot what the actual name was, but I'll I'll remember
• 1:10:30
  later. I don't remember.
• 1:10:31
  All right, for our championship round, we have in one corner
• 1:10:38
  Queen Amidala and her red orb look, and in the other corner we
• 1:10:43
  have the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.
• 1:10:50
  Are you ready, Elizabeth? No.
• 1:10:54
  Well, I think I am. I think I am too.
• 1:11:03
  I think my choice is with Queen Amidala.
• 1:11:10
  We're on the same page. You are.
• 1:11:13
  We are, we are on the same page, Wicked Witch of the West.
• 1:11:17
  Such an icon, so influential. However, I think Amidala is just
• 1:11:31
  an icon of this generation in the same exact way.
• 1:11:35
  Yeah. And I think it inspired costume
• 1:11:40
  designers, I think inspired people to go into this field,
• 1:11:44
  inspired, you know, creativity, inspired people to go into
• 1:11:48
  filmmaking. Absolutely.
• 1:11:52
  So sounds like we have our winner.
• 1:11:55
  We have Queen Armadale, the winner of the first annual One
• 1:12:00
  Costume to Rule Them All tournament.
• 1:12:04
  Wow, congratulations. Yes.
• 1:12:08
  I wish we had a trophy presenter, maybe like a big
• 1:12:11
  giant blue orb from the gungans to present.
• 1:12:19
  Oh my gosh. Wow, that was a lot of fun.
• 1:12:24
  That was so much fun. Tricia Baker, congratulations on
• 1:12:30
  creating an icon. Seriously.
• 1:12:33
  I mean, yeah, that that costume carried a lot of weight and a
• 1:12:37
  lot of momentum. I mean, it's not only got people
• 1:12:40
  into the theaters. It's just like with like a
• 1:12:42
  couple seconds in the trailer, I believe.
• 1:12:44
  But it just, I mean, yeah, so much momentum got people into
• 1:12:51
  theaters for those prequel films.
• 1:12:52
  Even if people aren't big fans of the prequels, it got people
• 1:12:55
  into the theaters, people bringing their lightsabers, kids
• 1:12:59
  and, you know, I still go back to them all the time.
• 1:13:03
  It inspired museum exhibitions, coffee table books, Happy Meal,
• 1:13:09
  toys, video games, all. Children's costumes.
• 1:13:15
  Everything. Everything.
• 1:13:17
  So this is so fun. I'm glad we did this.
