Ever watch a historical movie and wonder "what the heck are they wearing?" We've studied the real clothing, and we love to pick apart Hollywood's idea of historical costume. But it's not just about history, it's also about symbolism, style, and more. Join us in the theater to talk about fabulous films, fantastic costumes, and what it all means.

Regency England gets an Indian flair in this adaption of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel. But this isn't just another Bollywood-ization -- the Indian themes are carefully woven into the story and visual effects. This could be the anti-Austen with nary a dull muslin gown in sight.

Instead of watching a movie, we quiz a live, studio audience about costume trivia! Tune into the gang at Costume-Con 26, where we boldly went where no historical cosutmers had podcasted before. NPR fans, frequent eBayers, and Showtime snarkers may get a giggle out of this episode.

Ah, the great clash of history versus historical fiction! A best-selling book that toys liberally with the facts of Henry VIII and the two Boleyn sisters gets blown up on the big screen. Is it even more historically inaccurate than the novel? Does it matter? You may be surprised at what we think...

Is the Virgin Queen really a virgin? Does it matter? And check out the pants on that studly dude who'll later be flying around in a police call box. Bollywood meets Shakespeare in England's first golden age.

A metaphor of 1980s consumer consumption and post-punk isolation, plus hardore costume porn. Remember, what happens in Le Petit Trianon, stays in Le Petit Trianon.
