152: Let's do it! To it! | Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

<p>This was a somber episode. Leaving Las Vegas has been on my list to watch for so long and I just had to be in a certain mood. Turns out this was that time. I had long heard of this performance that won Nicolas Cage his Lead Actor Oscar in 1995 but I never expected to be hit this emotionally hard by a film. </p><p>Me and Charles talk the cinematography and the different side of Vegas, how Nic Cage prepared for a role like this, Elisabeth Shue's fashion, and some interesting behind the scenes bits. </p><p>Off-Topic rants include: Tom Cruise tiffs, Barbie and Oppenheimer, Kelly Bundy: fashion icon</p><p>--- </p><p>Get <strong>BONUS</strong> episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/fashiongrunge" target="_blank"><strong>Patreon! </strong></a></p><p><strong>GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!</strong></p><p>Hosts: Lauren <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lauren_melanie/" target="_blank"><strong>@lauren_melanie</strong></a> & Charles <a href="https://www.instagram.com/charleshaslam/" target="_blank">@charleshaslam</a></p><p> Music by Den-Mate <a href="https://www.instagram.com/imdenmate/" target="_blank"><strong>@imdenmate</strong></a></p><p>Follow Fashion Grunge Podcast </p><p>Substack <a href="https://fashiongrunge.substack.com" target="_blank">The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter</a></p><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fashiongrungepod/" target="_blank"><strong>@fashiongrungepod</strong></a></p><p>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/fgrungepod"><strong>@fgrungepod</strong></a></p><p>Letterboxd <a href="https://letterboxd.com/fashiongrunge/" target="_blank"><strong>Fashion Grunge Podcast</strong></a></p><p>TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@fashiongrungepod" target="_blank"><strong>@fashiongrungepod </strong></a></p>
