The Shuffle bois are joined by resident fashion correspondent Colette Shade author of “Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on a future that never was.”) to review a masterpiece of 2000s cinema, The Devil Wears Prada. This is a film that simultaneously attempts to be a scathing satire of the fashion industry, a character study of an anti-hero in a deeply flawed industry, and a paint-by-numbers rom com about a woman trying to have it all. After describing its characters, plot, and style, the crew digs down into some of the film's themes, including its schizophrenic relationship to the fashion industry, its view of aestheticism and culture, and how Miranda Priestly functions as a Michael Mann protagonist. They close out by briefly discussing the 2026 fan-service sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, which attempts to criticize capitalism and consultants without using the word capitalism.
