"Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I'm the monster?" To help raise awareness of the fight of The Animation Guild's quest for a better contract, The Wives Colangelo are kicking off a month of celebrating recently released animated coming-of-age films and starting with NIMONA. Let's talk about queerness, introducing heavy themes to children, not shying away from issues of mental health, and BJ breaks her record for the time it takes to start crying in an episode!

"We are not one-dimensional. We are smart and fun!" This Ends at Prom turns four this week, which means we're finally seniors! To celebrate, we're honoring five years of BOOKSMART, one of the best teen girl movies of the 21st century and a perfect time capsule of millennial nostalgia and liberal politics. BJ admits that she's a lot more like Beanie Feldstein's Molly than she'd ever care to admit, Harmony gushes over how much she loves Skyler Gisondo and Bille Lourd, and together they try to figure out why BOOKSMART continues to get outshined by LADY BIRD.

| Crush (2022) | 27 Jun 2024 | 01:11:30 | |
"Is she in slow motion again?" As Pride Month comes to a close, The Wives Colangelo are diving into a sapphic romantic comedy that's so sweet it'll give you a cavity with CRUSH (2022). Would a pun be enough to steal your heart? Have you ever done something you're not good at just to get closer to your crush? Has your mom given you a glow-in-the-dark dental dam?

| Sugar & Spice (2001) w/ Chelsea Rebecca of Dead Meat | 22 Sep 2022 | 01:23:27 | |
“If the O.J. trial taught us anything, it taught us that, in America, you can cut somebody's head off and still be innocent as long as you have enough money.” We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you? This week The Wives are tackling the darkly comedic cheerleading bank robbery film SUGAR & SPICE, and we're joined by Chelsea Rebecca of the Dead Meat podcast. Together the trio discuss the himbo greatness of James Marsden, how all of the marketing completely buried the lede of Diane's pregnancy, and how the rest of the world ignores the powerful political symbolism of Richard Nixon and pregnant Betty Dolls in American flag capes robbing a bank because it's in a teen girl movie. --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom -------- Follow Chelsea on Twitter: @carebecc Check Out Dead Meat!: https://www.youtube.com/c/DeadMeat/videos -------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm | |||
| Romy and Michele's High School Reunion - 25th Anniversary w/ Brennan Klein | 15 Sep 2022 | 01:33:23 | |
“Like if there’s a guy in a rowboat going X miles, and the current is going, like, you know, some other miles, how long does it take him to get to town? It was like, who cares? Who wants to go to town with a guy in a rowboat?” In honor of the anniversary of one of the greatest sisterhood comedies of all time, we're having a little This Ends at Prom reunion of our own, as producer Brennan Klein returns to talk ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.

| The Princess Bride - 35th Anniversary | 08 Sep 2022 | 01:13:01 | |
“But for now, rest well and dream of large women." 35 years later and THE PRINCESS BRIDE is still as perfect now as it was then. This week The Wives discuss the fantasy romance adventure that solidified Andre the Giant as a screen legend, gave a princess the chance to save herself, delivered an endlessly quotable script, and found a way to turn a film from a genre usually reserved for teen girl audiences into an evergreen classic that all could enjoy. --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Articles Referenced Why The Princess Bride is a Perfect Film: https://rb.gy/yezfxg The Princess Bride was a Jewish Fantasy Film: https://rb.gy/5j8w4d Mandy Patinkin on TikTok: https://rb.gy/wyt81u -------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||

“In Ridgemont? We can’t even get cable TV here, Stacy, and you want romance?!" FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH turns 40 this year, and there's no way we were going to pass up the chance to talk about the teen film that changed the subgenre forever. The Wives Colangelo get candid on air and share some of their more odd personal dating anecdotes, we read from Mike McBeardo McPadden's TEEN MOVIE HELL, and share some interesting trivia bits we've learned about the film over the last 40 years.

| Bend it Like Beckham (2002) w/ Alexia Arani, PhD | 25 Aug 2022 | 01:22:20 | |
“Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?” This week we're talking about the teen girl movie that made all the athletic gals feel validated, all of the budding queer girls question their feelings on Keira Knightley, and gave Indian teen girls a chance to see themselves on screen as never before. We're joined by educator and podcaster Alexia Arani, PhD to break down this deliciously rich film. This is a real fun episode, especially because Harmony had no idea what the movie was even about because she had only seen very misleading poster art.

| Dirty Dancing (1987) | 18 Aug 2022 | 01:12:22 | |
"I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.” DIRTY DANCING turns 35 this year, so we're having difficult conversations about Johnny Castle and Frances "Baby" Houseman's relationship, dissecting what makes Swayze such a hunky leading man, and praising the groundbreaking abortion subplot that was decades ahead of its time. As an added bonus, Momma Colangelo makes a little cameo appearance! Note from the hosts: We absolutely had a Freudian slip and said "Paxton" when we meant "Pullman" while talking about INDEPENDENCE DAY.

| Heathers (1989) | 11 Aug 2022 | 01:41:14 | |
"Dear Diary, my teenage angst bullshit has a body count.” This Ends at Prom is celebrating 2 years and 100 episodes by tackling one of the most highly requested films since the show's launch, the black comedy classic HEATHERS. We're exploring the ways this film completely changed the landscape of what was possible for teen girl cinema, why the film has become endlessly quotable after all these years, and give a very special thank you to our listeners. We couldn't do it without you. “Our love is God.

| A Knight's Tale (2001) w/ Jess Carson | 04 Aug 2022 | 01:23:24 | |
"Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick.” We're kicking off the month with a trip to the medieval times for the anachronistic classic, A Knight's Tale. This is another one of those movies that on paper seems like a teen boy movie, but I don't know many boys who were watching Heath Ledger change his stars during their sleepovers. We're joined by the absolutely magnificent Jess Carson for this episode. Jess is a Twitch streamer and writer on The Flash on the CW and loves period pieces more than anyone else we know.

| Daydream Nation (2010) | 28 Jul 2022 | 01:10:19 | |
"I know you probably think I'm a manipulative bitch for sleeping with two guys, but try looking at it this way: the sexual revolution is just like any other revolutionthere's gonna be casualties.” This week we're talking about a forgotten teen film from 2010, misunderstood at the time for its progressive themes and imperfect protagonist. Kat Dennings' Caroline Wexler is the anti-manic pixie dream girl, and a character often regulated to being a "bad influence." We discuss our own "bad girl" moments of high school, in particular, inappropriate relationships with much older partners. -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Teaching Mrs. TIngle (1999) w/ Kristen Rogers Anderson | 21 Jul 2022 | 01:18:56 | |
"Who do you think you're fooling? You're so scared I can smell it. Your fear is the most predictable thing about you. You've lived your whole life in fear. Terrified of making a mistake, scared to death you won't get that A, that ticket out. Afraid you'll never escape your mother and her name tag. Or your father who won't return your calls.” Kevin Williamson is known for movies like SCREAM and THE FACULTY, but today we're giving him his flowers for his solo directorial feature, TEACHING MRS. TINGLE. The Wives are joined by Kristen Rogers Anderson of the Guide to the Unknown podcast to talk about the maniacal power of Dame Helen Mirren, the sweetness of Katie Holmes, the undeniable talent of Marisa Coughlan's EXORCIST imitation, and uhhhh Barry Watson's really good hair. This is one of the most underappreciated teen films from the golden year of 1999, and we're here to figure out why. -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Follow Kristen on Twitter & IG: @chillinkristen Listen to Guide to the Unknown: https://www.gttupod.com/ --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| The Hot Chick (2002) | 20 Jun 2024 | 01:22:26 | |
"Come on, it's not every day that your best friend grows a penis." It's been a while since The Wives Colangelo tackled a body-swap movie, so they're throwing good taste out the window and giving THE HOT CHICK a fair shake. Everyone remembers all of the problematic elements, but do you remember all of the heart? It's a complicated movie starring a super close-minded jerk, but for a movie trying to profit off of shock value, there's a shocking amount of pro-teen girl goodness in this odd time capsule. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Article Referenced An Interview with Rob Schneider: https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/12/an-interview-with-rob-schneider ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor | |||
| Unpregnant (2020) | 14 Jul 2022 | 01:19:02 | |
"WE'RE GAY AND WE'RE PREGNANT!!!" If you're listening from America, you probably already know why we chose this week's show. We're here to talk about UNPREGNANT, an abortion road trip movie that tackles the severity of the lengths people are willing to go when they're denied abortion access, without ever feeling like a bad time. The world and the government are making us feel bad enough, we don't need a movie to make it even worse. This film was dropped on HBO Max during 2020 quarantine and went criminally underseen, but might be one of the best movies to watch to help process any feelings you may be having about Roe v. Wade being overturned.

| Once Bitten (1985) w/ Brad Michael Elmore | 07 Jul 2022 | 01:07:22 | |
"If you guys are so interested in my sexual failures, why don't you go have a few of your own?" Happy Summerween, Prom Party! As part of our TEEN MOVIE HELL series, this week we're joined by the director of THE WOLFMAN'S HAMMER and the trans-inclusive intersectional feminist vampire girl gang flick BIT to talk about the 80stastic gender-reversed TWILIGHT predecessor, ONCE BITTEN. Together, the trio figure out what makes Jim Carrey's leading feature performance so great, imagine what life would be like as a vampire forced to exclusively feed on high school boys, and break down the brilliant vampire dance-off sequence that has to be seen to be believed. -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Watch Brad Michael Elmore's Bit on Prime Video and Tubi! --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Shiva Baby (2020) w/ Ariel Fisher | 30 Jun 2022 | 01:53:10 | |
"Listen to your mother and don't marry anyone til you've slept with what, at least 10 people?" As Pride month comes to a close, we're talking about one of the best releases of the last five years, the bisexual Jewish dramedy, SHIVA BABY. The Wives are joined by pansexual Jewish writer, editor, and all-around magical human, Ariel Fisher. Ariel gives us a rundown on Jewish culture, BJ waxes poetic about the ways Jewish and Italian families are eerily similar, and Harmony desperately tries to make sense of a movie she cannot relate to AT ALL. -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Follow our Guest on Twitter & Instagram: @Afis8 --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990) w/ Dr. Ken Schneck | 23 Jun 2022 | 01:35:06 | |
"From a deep, immaculate kiss, she spread her two ripe, dripping limbs and then I happened." We're continuing on with our Pride month celebration with the underseen coming-of-age Winona Ryder masterpiece, WELCOME HOME, ROXY CARMICHAEL. This week The Wives are joined by Dr. Ken Schneck, a brilliant mind and absolute die-hard fan of this film.

"Are you kidding me? We conduct a nationwide manhunt for you and you're boning the suspect? Did you think this was a joke? "Let's divert federal resources and man-hours so I can have my collegiate lesbian fling in style." Pride month continues with another groundbreaking queer film, this time, the queer spy comedy that helped every queer girl in the 2000s with a Blockbuster membership card feel just a little more seen, D.E.B.S. We're discussing the adorable charm of Angela Robinson's seminal film, and yes, discussing how D.E.B.S. walked so KILLING EVE could run. -------- Article Referenced Queer Millennial Girl Reviews Lesbian Adventure Film D.E.B.S.: https://rb.gy/x0dbsn -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021) | 09 Jun 2022 | 01:21:33 | |
"I've always felt a little different than everyone else. So I did what any outsider would do, made weird art." Happy Pride Month! Did you know that last year brought one of the most groundbreaking showcases of teenage queerness in a mainstream animated feature? That's right, we're talking about THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES. It's time to unpack all of our father/daughter trauma and make the difficult realization that parents are people too. All hail Katie Mitchell.

| Wristcutters: A Love Story (2007) | 02 Jun 2022 | 01:28:58 | |
"Are you joking? Do you guys like it here? Who the hell likes being stuck in a place where you can't even smile? It's hot as balls, everybody's an asshole. I just wanna go home." Harmony's birthday is just around the corner so The Wives Colangelo are discussing a movie that was pivotal to Harmony's coming of age experience. While WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY might not be specifically "teen girl" oriented, it's a movie that was really important to a lot of misunderstood teenagers in the late aughts who were just looking to be heard. Content warning for anyone who may not be in a place to hear an episode that casually addresses suicide, or hosts who are willing to be candid about their own experiences. -------- Article Referenced: ‘WRISTCUTTERS’ IS A LOVE STORY FROM THE (VERY MUNDANE) AFTERLIFE https://rb.gy/pinvxm -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Hairspray (1988) & (2007) w/ Kate Hagen | 26 May 2022 | 01:35:01 | |
"Ma, it's changing out there! You'll like it. People who are different, their time is coming!” We're saying farewell to MAY-usical month with a double feature that's big and beautiful, John Waters' HAIRSPRAY from 1988 and the 2007 movie musical made of the broadway show it inspired. The Wives Colangelo are joined by Kate Hagen of The Black List to talk about fat representation, what the musical loses without John Waters' touch, a fantastical world where racism is solved simply by changing minds, that damn John Travolta fat suit, and dreamboats who aren't afraid to love a fat girl. -------- Follow our guest on Twitter & Instagram: @ThatHagenGrrl -------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||

In honor of the film's 40th anniversary, we're talking about what made GREASE 2 go from flop to cult favorite, and how the film succeeds where GREASE falls short. Harmony interviews BJ about her love of the film, but we aren't afraid to address the less-than-well-aged moments. Let's bowl, let's bowl, let's Rock-'n-Roll!

| Camp (2003) | 12 May 2022 | 01:25:38 | |
"When I was eight years old I told my dad that I wanted to take an acting class. He said, there are fifty billion people in this world, if one-tenth of 1% of them wanted to be actors, that would still be five million people. Do you really think you're prettier than five million people?" This week The Wives Colangelo are tackling the most musical theatre movie musical of movie musicals, the 2003 indie favorite CAMP. BJ has a great deal of fondness for this chaotic movie while Harmony, neither a theatre kid or with any nostalgia for it, feels ...very, very differently. How does one appropriately assess a movie that was groundbreaking once upon a time, but has since turned into a pumpkin?

You didn't think The Wives Colangelo were going to write and and release a book about SLEEPAWAY CAMP and not do an episode on it, did you? Years in the making, This Ends at Prom finally tackles one of the most important and impactful films for both of the hosts, give a sneak peek at some of the conversations that can be found in their book, and discuss why this low-budget slasher still has merit after all these years.

| The Phantom of the Opera (2004) | 05 May 2022 | 01:18:17 | |
"Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice?" We're kicking off MAY-usical Month 2.0 with a film everyone forgets is actually about a teen girl, because all of the men are in their 30s, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (2004). Can BJ convince the notoriously anti-traditional musical Harmony to join the dark side and embrace Joel Schumacher's messy interpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber? Will we ever figure out why Gerard Butler was allowed to play the titular role despite never having sung? Have teenage theater kids from the aughts apologized for how insufferably supportive they were of this movie?

Julie Pierce: "I wish I had courage like you." Miyagi: I wish I had chocolate bar with almonds.” Long before angry, toxic, fanboys review bombed CAPTAIN MARVEL and GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) for the crime of being women-led films in a male dominated franchise, there was 1994's THE NEXT KARATE KID. The Wives Colangelo are joined by Elijah Taylor of the Kicking & Screaming podcast to talk about martial arts, zen bowling, and try to figure out if there's any reason other than misogyny for why this film has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of any film we've ever covered on the show. --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Listen to our guest's podcast: Kicking & Screaming! --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| The Hunger Games (10th Anniversary) | 21 Apr 2022 | 01:35:30 | |
“Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained." It's hard to believe that a full decade has passed since Jennifer Lawrence and her singular side braid shot an arrow through all of our hearts, but time has been oddly kind to the girl on fire, and we're going to talk about it. Why does this movie hit so much harder in 2022 than it did in 2012? Would it have been as well received if released any other time? Let's find out.

| Can't Buy Me Love (1987) | 14 Apr 2022 | 01:28:16 | |
“You ignored the Donald Miller geek for seventeen years, now you want to ride the Ronnie Miller express!” We're heading back to the 1980s and letting Patrick Dempsey buy our time, because this week is all about CAN'T BUY ME LOVE. Together the wives assess one of the earliest version of the teenage "bet" subgenre of romantic comedies, try to figure out what it is about popularity that turns everyone into huge jerks, and we even hear from our teenage nephew, Cash of the Why Did We Ever Meet? podcast, as he gives his Gen Z perspective on a film he loves a lot more than we do. --------- Article Referenced Can't Buy Me Love: A Sound Investment 30 Years Later: https://rb.gy/69bd8r --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Turning Red (2022) w/ Hoai-Tran Bui | 07 Apr 2022 | 01:37:01 | |
"Honoring your parents sounds great but if you take it too far...well, you might forget to honor yourself." This week The Wives are heading back to the world of animation to talk about Pixar's latest masterpiece, TURNING RED. /Film editor and professional fangirl Hoai-Tran Bui joins to help make sense of why so many people were pearl-clutchingly angry over an animated teen girl film, reminisce about coming-of-age in the 2000s, what it means to love a boy band, the glory of watching anime, how it feels to develop your found family, and HT lovingly expresses what a film like this means to her as an Asian-American. --------- Follow Our Guest on Twitter: @HTranBui --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| A Very Special Episode--Mental Health and Setting Limits | 31 Mar 2022 | 01:13:23 | |
TW/CW: Discussions of mental illness, intrusive thoughts, and suicide We're not talking about a movie this week, because quite honestly, we don't have it in us. The Wives sit down to have a candid discussion about living with mental illness, knowing when to set limits, and why "the show must go on" isn't always the best course of action. There's laughs, there's tears, and there's a lot of vulnerable honesty. We hope that this episode resonates with you, and if this is a week you need to skip, we hope you take care of yourselves. We love you.

| Cruel Intentions (1999) w/ Chelsey Weber-Smith | 24 Mar 2022 | 01:44:42 | |
"I'm the Marcia F*cking Brady of the Upper East Side and sometimes, I wanna kill myself. So there's your psycho analysis, Dr. Freud." This week The Wives are joined by the incomparable host of American Hysteria, non-binary queer dreamboat Chelsey Weber-Smith. Together they all discuss the "naughtiest" teen film of 1999, explore the queer themes scattered throughout, and give their respects to one of the most unbelievably stacked casts in film history. Put away the rosary, it's time to talk about CRUEL INTENTIONS.

| Spring Breakers (2012) | 17 Mar 2022 | 01:25:25 | |
"We'll always remember the trip. I wanna go back again next year with you. Something so amazing, magical. Something so beautiful. Feels as if the world is perfect. Like it's never gonna end." It's the most debaucherous time of the year, prom party, and we're going to analyze the heck out of it. Harmony Korine's SPRING BREAKERS is a wild time capsule of 2012, a look at an evolutionary step of "The American Dream," and the meta-casting of former Disney starlets pushed this indie art-house director into the mainstream. BJ talks about ridiculous college party nonsense, Harmony laments the cruel reality that sometimes creepy jerks can also be super talented, and together they discuss how SPRING BREAKERS might as well be Grand Theft Auto: The Movie.

| Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982) | 10 Mar 2022 | 01:07:12 | |
"I'm perfect but nobody in this sh*thole gets me, because I don't put out!" Sometimes the world feels absolutely impossible to deal with and the only cure is listening to teenage Diane Lane and Laura Dern try to burn it all down. This week we're going back to the 80s and talking about the peak of punk rock teenage girl rebellion, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS. We address how this is a film that couldn't be made today, the undeniable star-power of two of our leads, and the power and fear the world has surrounding teen girls who know their worth.

| Assassination Nation (2018) | 03 Mar 2022 | 01:30:52 | |
"This is the story of how my town, Salem, lost its motherf*cking mind. Now I understand that you may think I'm exaggerating, that I'm being hyperbolic, that there's no way an entire suburb could freak the f*ck out to the degree they'd want to kill four teenage girls...but I promise you, this is a hundred percent a true story." With season 2 of Euphoria in the rearview, we're diving into Sam Levinson's ASSASSINATION NATION, and having some of the most difficult conversations yet. It's time to sit in our collective discomfort and talk about all of the things we're afraid to say out loud, because if we ever want the status quo to change, we're gonna have to start taking drastic measures.

| The Iron Claw (2023) w/ Alex Steed | 06 Jun 2024 | 01:07:04 | |
"Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mom tried to protect us with God. Dad tried to protect us with wrestling." It's Harmony's birthday so The Wives Colangelo are honoring her teen girl experience by talking about one of the most important things to her coming-of-age: professional wrestling. And there's no better way to dissect growing up in a masculine space and the crushing pressure of the patriarchy than to talk about Sean Durkin's phenomenal film, THE IRON CLAW. Joining the team is returning guest and dear friend Alex Steed, who is tagging in to tackle the beautiful, heartbreaking, and complicated world of manhood. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ----- Follow Our Guest: @AlexSteed / @YouAreGoodPod ----- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Pretty Smart (1987) | 24 Feb 2022 | 01:05:33 | |
"He's throwing you against each other! As long as you're at each other's throats, he can control you. If you stopped thrashing around for one second, you'd see that you aren't any different from the preens." For this season's edition of TEEN MOVIE HELL, we're talking about the 1987 private school comedy, PRETTY SMART (1987). Don't let the poster, trailer, synopsis, or reviews fool you--this movie is unlike anything you'd expect. Together the Wives talk all about the wild, wild, west of teen chaos, the surprising progressiveness of the story, and try to find the answer to the age old question, "Who is this movie for?"

| Never Been Kissed (1999) | 17 Feb 2022 | 01:30:20 | |
"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time." This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by essayist and podcaster Laura Leigh Abby to talk about the Drew Barrymore classic, NEVER BEEN KISSED. Together we talk about whether or not we'd ever want to return to high school, the importance of healing your inner "Josie Grossie," and question whether this film is as problematic as we remember, or if we were all just hypnotized by the rom-com beats.

| Twilight (2008) | 10 Feb 2022 | 01:30:05 | |
"About three things I was absolutely certain. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him-and I didn't know how potent that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. and third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." Love is in the air this valentine's day and what better way to celebrate than by dissecting one of the most maligned teen romance stories of all time, TWILIGHT. Harmony painfully sits through a movie she already knows she doesn't like, and BJ, who once had an entire column dedicated to hating on Twilight appears to have turned a new leaf. Hold on tight, spider monkeys, because we're not just talking about the movie, but the entire culture that defined an era. --------- Article Referenced: Twilight Appeal: The cult of Edward Cullen and vampire love in Stephenie Meyer’s novels and the new film (2008) http://decentfilms.com/articles/twilight?fbclid=IwAR0fi46kNXD1k-z9YElJG5M_i2AnDX-8krb9HnZevufwXlBYqTyd8NVW-qk --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||

"She looks too pure to be pink." Our wonderful supporters on Patreon helped us reach our very first stretch goal, and as our thank-you, we're covering the one teen girl movie that BJ Colangelo struggles to be an apologist for, 1978's GREASE. In this whopping two-hour episode, The Wives Colangelo are joined by film critic Todd Gilchrist, an amazing human being and BJ's GREASE loving nemesis. Can Harmony stay neutral or will she be swayed by BJ or Todd?

| A Walk to Remember 20th Anniversary | 27 Jan 2022 | 01:19:40 | |
"Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel." In honor of the film's 20th anniversary, The Wives Colangelo are busting out their Youth Group finest and talking about A WALK TO REMEMBER. In a rare turn of events, Harmony is a bit more kind to the film than BJ, but then again, y'all already know how she feels about cancer movies. Be our Only Hope, and enjoy!

| Eighth Grade (2018) | 20 Jan 2022 | 01:43:48 | |
“Do I make you sad? I don't know. Sometimes I think that when I'm older, I'll have a daughter of my own or something... and I feel like if she was like me, then being her mom would make me sad all the time. I'd love her because she's my daughter, but I think if she turned out like me that being her mom would make me really sad." If you're like us, junior high was a f*cking nightmare and you couldn't pay us to go back to those years. Well, this week we're joined by the amazing Addison Peacock to dive into Bo Burnham's EIGHTH GRADE, and have what is essentially an on-air therapy session. There's some movie talk, for sure, but this movie brought up so many feelings for all of us that we couldn't help but talk about. We hope you enjoy this very awkward, very vulnerable exploration of what it means to be in junior high, and how it feels to think about after all these years. --------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---------- Follow our Guest on Twitter & Instagram: @Addison_Peacock --------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
| Scream (1996) | 13 Jan 2022 | 01:18:21 | |
“Don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!” Wes Craven's SCREAM has been terrorizing audiences for over 25 years. With the fifth installment on the way, we want to revisit the ultimate teen slasher. BJ talks about her life-long fear of Ghostface, Harmony talks about how SCARY MOVIE has broken her brain, and together they discuss the brilliant subversion of Kevin Williamson's script. ---------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||

Janey Briggs: "I read Sylvia Plath, I listen to 'Bikini Kill' and I eat Tofu. I am a unique rebel." Mitch Briggs: "It sounds more like you're a lesbo.” Now that Harmony has actually seen a huge chunk of the teen movie canon, it was her idea that we'd finally watch the movie that parodies them all, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE. Together The Wives Colangelo discuss how this movie somehow aged better and worse than expected at the same time, the ineffectiveness of parody that hates its subject matter, and the saving grace of America's ass, Chris Evans. ---------- Article Referenced The Quarantine Stream: 'Not Another Teen Movie' Perfectly And Stupidly Spoofs High School Clichés: https://www.slashfilm.com/574182/the-quarantine-stream-not-another-teen-movie/ Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/ | |||
