BONUS EPISODE: “Dirty Laundry”

As we head toward 2024, we’re recalling some of our favorite moments from 2023. DIRTY LAUNDRY is a whole episode filled with favorite moments. Wanna know what’s really happening on a movie or TV set? Talk to “the pretties” – HAIR AND MAKEUP or, even better? Talk RANDALL THROPP – he was the WARDROBE SUPERVISOR on “TALES FROM THE CRYPT”. He also worked on “DEMON KNIGHT” and “BORDELLO OF BLOOD” and the TV version of “THE SHINING“.

The folks in WARDROBE and COSTUMES see a set’s literal dirty laundry. Often, they’re the ones who have to clean it up. Uch!

And yet (from a producer’s perspective), thank goodness they’re there! That means we (the producers) won’t have to. In fact, most of the time? The producers know little to nothing about what’s actually happening on their sets. Holy shit, what we’ve been missing!!!

Who’s sleeping with whom? Ask Wardrobe. Who needs to focus a little more on their bathroom habits and cleanliness? Wardrobe has the proof! Who, for real, are the mensches and who are the shits? Wardrobe knows absolutely everything.

So, when we say Randall has some great stories, we mean it: Randall has some great stories.

Randall now works for PARAMOUNT PICTURES; he manages its remarkable wardrobe collection – lending pieces to movies and museums – but, most importantly – respecting the place wardrobe has in filmed entertainment. And the place filmed entertainment has across the world’s cultures.

Think of this as an early Christmas present from us to you. Now you’re going to start looking forward to getting DIRTY LAUNDRY every Christmas!
