This Ends at Prom

"I feel like our lives changed because they had to."As chosen by our Patreon supporters, The Wives Colangelo are kicking off April with a story of summer, sisterhood, and magical pants. Let's talk about four different stories about coming-of-age, the blessing of well-rounded characters, and maybe cry a little bit about the stories that hit a little close to home.

"That's funny, I've never heard of George Glass at our sküle."Didn't The Wives Colangelo JUST cover The Brady Bunch Movie? And they're already doing A Very Brady Sequel? YEAH, SO WHAT? WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?! After catching Brady Fever, This Ends at Prom is jumping from the Jan Brady movie to the one about Greg and Marcia wanting to kiss each other. It's wild, it's raucous, and American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith is back to gush all about it. --------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTResources for Trans Youth in Kansas: https://southernequality.org/ks/--------Follow Our Guest!Chelsey Weber-Smith is @AmericanHysteriaPodcast on IGListen to American Hysteria wherever you get your podcasts!--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"We all do things we're not proud of to survive."Sequel Month is getting the prequel treatment as The Wives Colangelo return to Panem for THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. This week's episode might be a bit of a heavier one, considering, well, everything, but to fight fascism, you have to know how it operates. Fortunately, the dystopian prequel does a pretty bang-up job at showcasing how leaders like Coriolanus Snow come to power, why you should never trust state-controlled media, and how the seeds of resistance take so long to come to harvest. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds, as always, be ever in your favor.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTResources for Trans Youth in Kansas: https://southernequality.org/ks/--------Article MentionedIn ‘The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,’ Lucy Gray Is a Different Kind of Hero in Katniss’ World(https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes-lucy-gray-katniss-hunger-games)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"I have always valued my lifelessness."We love a sequel that goes completely bugnuts off the rails compared to its original, and RETURN TO OZ has enough kindertrauma to do the trick. Somehow, Harmony missed this classic twisted fantasy that altered the brain chemistry of multiple generations, but sequel month is taking The Wives Colangelo back down what WAS the yellow brick road with a sassy chicken, dismembered heads, and electroshock therapy on minors.

"I don't need friends. I need fans."Sequel month 2026 is kicking off with a title chosen by the Patreon supporters, SCREAM 4. This week, The Wives Colangelo are heading back to Woodsboro to dissect the second generation of Ghostface victims and speculate why so many people despise this entry (despite it being Harmony's favorite).

"We have a company to save. / I'm right on top of that, Rose."Did you know that they recently remade DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD? Did you know that it is shockingly wonderful? This week, The Wives Colangelo are tackling a remake of one of BJ's all-time-favorite movies, and a movie that Harmony has only ever seen once (don't worry, they're gonna remedy that). The BET+ Original Film is one of the better '90s remakes, and we hope this episode encourages you to seek it out and see for yourselves.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Springfield Unity Fund: https://givebutter.com/SpringfieldUnityFund--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen."Cameron Crowe's directorial debut is a film solidified in pop culture history thanks to the singular image of John Cusack holding a boom box above his head, but SAY ANYTHING... has a lot more than a Peter Gabriel song to say. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by the incomparable Alex Steed to talk about one of the greatest teenage romance flicks ever made, and allow ourselves to believe in love. --------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Springfield Unity Fund: https://givebutter.com/SpringfieldUnityFund--------Follow our guest!@AlexSteed @YouAreGood--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"There's a lot of ways to get to know a person. Eating her dead boyfriend's brains is one of the more unorthodox methods, but..."HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, PROM PARTY! Love is in the air, and The Wives Colangelo are celebrating by talking about a Romeo & Juliet story where Romeo is a zombie and Juliet is... John Malkovich's military brat daughter. Let's dive into the post-Twilight boom of monster romance stories, Nicholas Hoult starting his weird lil' guy era, and why love will always conquer all.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Springfield Unity Fund: https://givebutter.com/SpringfieldUnityFund--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
