Bottoms (2023)
“I really value when people use violence for me, it's actually one of my love languages”ARE YOU READY TO BE MESSY GAYS?! This week the Wives Colangelo are discussing the teen movie that has taken over the world, Emma Seligman's raunchy, raucous, and wild delight -- BOTTOMS.

156: American Graffiti (50th Anniversary) w/ Bradford Oman
“You're the most beautiful, exciting thing I've ever seen in my life and I don't know anything about you.”50 years ago, George Lucas tried his hand at telling a nostalgic story inspired by his own teenage years and revolutionized the coming-of-age film forever. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by Bradford Oman (aka Ethan Anderton) to honor the half-of-a-century anniversary of AMERICAN GRAFFITI. They're talking about fast cars, boys trying to make sense of the world, what it feels like to say goodbye to your hometown, and the freedom of driving all night and looking for trouble. This episode is part of our TEEN MOVIE HELL series honoring the memory of Mike "McBeardo" McPadden.-----Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Buy Teen Movie Hell at Bazillion Points!--------Follow our guest!Twitter: @Ethan_AndertonIG: @LookAtBradsJunk--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Perfect Blue (1997)
“Sensei, I’m scared that my other self will do something that I don’t know about…”One of the greatest animated films ever crafted, Satoshi Kon's PERFECT BLUE is a terrifying coming-of-age story of obsession, stolen identity, and the way the public at large feels entitled to consume the idea of young starlets. In discussing arguably the scariest movie ever covered on the podcast, The Wives Colangelo reflect on what it means to be a public figure, praise animated films not geared toward young audiences, and sing the praises of a genuinely perfect film.-----Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Article MentionedSatoshi Kon’s ‘Perfect Blue’ Is a Layered and Unparalleled Psychological Thriller: https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3716388/satoshi-kons-perfect-blue-is-a-layered-and-unparalleled-psychological-thriller-horrors-elsewhere/ --------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023)
“That’s why we fought the Nazis? So you could have a mojito bar?!”The Wives Colangelo are heading back to middle school and becoming young women, Sandler family-style, with YOU ARE SO NOT INVITED TO MY BAT MITZVAH. Together the Wives talk about the benefits of watching coming-of-age stories about different cultures than your own, cry about the fact they're now old enough to see Adam Sandler in dad mode, and talk about how important it is to see a film depict the hardest relationship moment of a young girl's life -- fighting with your best friend.-----Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

The Breakfast Club (1985)
"You see us as you want to see us — in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions"This Ends at Prom is celebrating its 3-year anniversary by closing out the Hughes/Ringwald trilogy and finally tackling the teen movie of all teen movies, THE BREAKFAST CLUB. The Wives Colangelo discuss what the film has to say about growing up, lamenting your teen years, the cruel hierarchy of high school, whether it's as problematic as contemporary audiences claim, and why the film remains a generational favorite.This episode is part of our TEEN MOVIE HELL series honoring the memory of Mike "McBeardo" McPadden.

How to Deal (2003) w/ Stephanie Gagnon
"The quickest way to ruin a relationship with someone is to actually try to have a relationship with them."Book-to-film adaptations aren't easy, but what happens when a film script tries to cram two novels into one movie? Well, you get HOW TO DEAL. Joining The Wives Colangelo is Stephanie Gagnon from the Books in the Freezer podcast to talk about the film's literary source material, how her feelings about the film have changed over time, and edgy-era Mandy Moore.

Baby Assassins (2021)
"Oh! I almost forgot my machine gun!"This is another reminder that coming-of-age stories aren't always about high school romance or breaking curfew, sometimes it's about being a deadly assassin forced to take a service industry job to evade suspicion. In the first instance of a film covered on the show with a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Wives Colangelo encourage you to enjoy BABY ASSASSINS. Who knew a film with so much gun-fu would also be such a heartfelt film about friendship, neurodivergency, and staying true to your identity?-----Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Ever After (25th Anniversary)
"You have *everything*, and still the world holds no joy, and yet you insist on making fun of those who *would* see it for its possibilities."It took nearly three years, but The Wives Colangelo have finally found a Cinderella story where we understand what the 'Ella' sees in the prince (other than Paolo Montalban being hot in the musical, of course). It's time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of EVER AFTER. Does BJ go on a rant about loving Melanie Lynskey? Yes. Can Harmony overcome her hatred of all things period piece?

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret (2023) w/ Roxie Allen
"Which religion should I be? Sometimes I just wish I’d been born one way or the other."It took over 40 years, but Kelly Fremon Craig's film adaptation of ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET was well worth the wait. The Wives Colangelo dive into a seminal favorite, wax poetic about how much they love Rachel McAdams, and even hear from the show's official tween correspondent, their 10-year-old niece, Roxie. -----Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom------Roxie sometimes appears on her parents' podcast, Why Did We Ever Meet?

The Parent Trap (1998) w/ Jamie Jirak
“I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea!”Believe it or not, but Disney's THE PARENT TRAP remake just turned 25 years old so The Wives Colangelo are celebrating a quarter of a century of Lindsay Lohan by discussing her debut feature. Joining the Wives this week is Jamie Jirak, an entertainment journalist, and critic who doubles as a die-hard fan of this film.

"Hit me. I'm serious, I can't feel anything, hit me! Again, do it harder! I can't feel anything, this is so awesome!"The Wives Colangelo are ripping open wounds they didn't even know they had in order to talk about one of the most requested titles in honor of its 20th anniversary.

We're talking about tough love, big emotions, and the always wonderful Holly Hunter.------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom------Article Referenced"No Bra, No Panties": How Thirteen Defined A Generation Of Women: https://rb.gy/c5rpm-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

The To Do List (2013)
"I wish my mother had given me lube when I was your age."Things have been a little bit too sugar, spice, and everything nice around these parts, so this week The Wives Colangelo are getting sexy!

Matilda (1996)
"Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse."This week the Wives Colangelo are talking about falling in love with reading, the attachments children develop with their teachers, this movie serving as Danny DeVito's CITIZEN KANE, and of course, all of the queer themes hidden within a film about a little girl discovering telekinetic powers. ------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Teen Witch (1989)
"You have the power to make anything you want happen."TEEN WITCH might not be winning an Oscar anytime soon, but it's certainly a movie that so many of us hold near and dear. The Wives Colangelo are talking about the fashion, the nonsensical plot, the hilarious set pieces, the questionable behavior of everyone in this damn movie, and of course, the "Top That" rap.

Submarine (2010)
"I took a photo of us, mid-embrace. When I am old and alone I will remember that I once held something truly beautiful." It's Harmony's birthday week which means whatever baby wants, baby gets. This year's birthday episode is Richard Ayoade's unconventional coming-of-age black comedy, SUBMARINE. The Wives Colangelo discuss seeing yourself in films that don't exactly showcase your lived experience, appreciate weirdo boys trying their best, and share a lot of personal stories related to the film. ------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------- Article Referenced: 'Submarine' - The Quirk Of 'Juno,' The Whimsy Of Gondry, The Light-Heartedness Of Wes Anderson, The Melancholy Of '500 Days Of Summer: https://rb.gy/f9j9p-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

How to Build a Girl (2019) w/ Mallory O'Meara
"My story doesn't begin with a boy. It begins with me." The Wives Colangelo are joined this week by the brilliant Mallory O'Meara to talk about the underseen should-be coming-of-age classic, HOW TO BUILD A GIRL. Together they agonize about what it's like to work in male-dominated industries, praise the always fantastic Beanie Feldstein, and preach the gospel of author Caitlin Moran. This movie is so much more than "ALMOST FAMOUS but for girls," so listen as they break it down!------Buy Girls Make Movies!http://www.malloryomeara.com/girls-make-moviesFollow Mallory: @MalloryOMeara Listen to the Reading Glasses Podcast: https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/reading-glasses/------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

West Side Story (2021)

Let's talk about the changes Steven Spielberg made, praise Ariana DeBose's brilliant performance, and examine whether or not WEST SIDE STORY is a show better left in the past.------Morning AnnouncementsJoin the Soleil Space streaming platform and community today and start exploring a world of diverse, authentic stories.

From Justin to Kelly (2003)
Justin: "Hey, you're the girl from the beach."Kelly: "My friends call me Kelly for short."May-usical Month continues along with quite possibly the least favorable film ever covered on the show and one that has been loudly disavowed by the star. That's right, it's time for FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY. Harmony breaks down how this film came to be and The Wives Colangelo try their hardest not to short-circuit from laughter.

Across the Universe (2007)
“Do, do, do, do, do, do. Why isn’t the issue here who I am?!””May-usical month is back with a vengeance ... and The Beatles! We're kicking off the month by celebrating Julie Taymor's psychedelic, underappreciated jukebox musical. We're talking about the adorable (and insufferable) coming-of-age experience of discovering The Beatles for the first time, why this film resonated so heavily with teen girls, and the fantastical approach the film takes to Vietnam and radicalization. ------Morning AnnouncementsJoin the Soleil Space streaming platform and community today and start exploring a world of diverse, authentic stories.

Hell, I wanna eat too.”If you haven't seen Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle Reid's B.A.P.S., you haven't lived. This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by Lyvie Scott to talk about the criminally underseen satirical comedy about two Georgia homegirls thrust into the polite white society of a wealthy man in Beverly Hills. Let's talk about why this film deserves to be a cult classic, and why racism pushed this hidden gem out of the reassessment conversation.

Raw (2016) w/ Vanessa Guerrero
"Why didn't you fight back?"Coming of age isn't always about prom dresses and virginity pacts, sometimes it's a lot more... raw. This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by the brilliant Vanessa Guerrero to discuss Julia Ducournau's coming-of-rage masterpiece, RAW. Together they discuss why cannibalism stories are so prominent in teen horror, what it feels like to put on femininity as a costume, and why it's so satisfying to watch someone just rip something apart with their teeth.------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"Remember who the real enemy is."As sequel month continues on, we're tackling a sequel that surpasses the original and represents the best installment of a franchise.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
"Just because I didn't get my fairytale ending doesn't mean you shouldn't."Justice for Lilly Moscovitz!! Sometimes a movie gets a sequel ... and really shouldn't have gotten a sequel. This week The Wives Colangelo are returning to Genovia, and aren't exactly thrilled with the results. How dare Disney make us disappointed by a movie starring so many of our favorites AND written by Shonda Rhimes?

This week they're joined by writer and funnyman Zach Heltzel, who used to host the incredible Zetus Lepodcast: The Oral History of Disney Channel Original Movies. Together they talk about why this is the best HSM film of the bunch, how weird it is that the Disney Channel was clearly trying to profit off of the tween machine's obsession with Zac Efron, give Ashley Tisdale her flowers, and continue to lament the lack of an openly gay Ryan Evans.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Follow our guest on social media: @ZachHeltzel-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"Wow, maybe I shouldn't be dating such an old man. It's gross. I should be thoroughly repulsed."We're kicking off a month of sequels with the second installment of the TWILIGHT saga, NEW MOON. We're into uncharted territory for Harmony, who had as good of a time watching this film as you can imagine ... which is to say she had a very bad time.

Titanic (25th Anniversary)
“I'll never let go, Jack. I'll never let go.”It's been 25 years since James Cameron dazzled the world with his gripping, historical disaster romance drama, but it's perpetually annoying that people forget TITANIC is a teen girl story. We're revisiting the film by focusing on the one aspect of the film that hasn't been analyzed to death yet -- the teenage power of Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater.

Valley Girl (40th Anniversary)
"Man, he's like tripendicular, ya know?"Ohmigod like, gag us with a spoon! VALLEY GIRL is turning 40?! We're going back in time to celebrate one of the teen girl movies that completely changed an entire culture, permanently altered the way people speak, and gave us a heartthrob leading man out of Nicolas Cage. We're totally dying over this movie and hope you enjoy this celebration of a classic retelling of Romeo & Juliet.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Wish Upon a Star (1996)
"You may have my body, breasts, and boyfriend, but you are not me."We're turning on the Disney Channel and talking about another body swap film, the beloved and yet somehow still underrated, WISH UPON A STAR. The Wives talk about the edgy story elements that keep this film off of the Disney+ platform, how the sisterhood of the characters fundamentally changes the body swap story elements often seen in films like FREAKY FRIDAY, and of course, we give our thanks for the dominatrix outfit.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Hanna (2011)
"I mean, you're a freak and everything, but I like you."There's so much more to the teen girl movie genre than high school stories, and Joe Wright's HANNA is a perfect example of it. The Wives Colangelo are discussing the different ways a parent can define love, Cate Blanchett's questionable accent, whether or not Hanna is neurodivergent, and why Sophie is such a fantastic best friend character.-------Articles MentionedFocus Features: Now Ten Years Old, Hanna Just Keeps Going-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Almost Famous (2000) w/ Jaclyn Moore
"I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriously, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends."The Wives Colangelo are joined by the wise and wonderful Jaclyn Moore to talk about the glory of ALMOST FAMOUS. We're talking about "egg behavior" trans themes, good tunes, groupie culture, and seeing yourself in stories you never thought possible. -------Articles MentionedFashion Magazine: 20 Years After Almost Famous, Has The Idea of the Groupie Changed?--------Follow Our Guest! @JaclynPMoore-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Sleepover (2004) w/ Abby Rose Morris
"You're out here collecting tickets instead of being inside at the dance. You spend your weekends doing extra credit algebra, you play way too much Monopoly with your parents, and you've never eaten anywhere near the fountain. And in 4 years I will be YOU unless I get into that dance!"We're heading back to 2004 to talk about the teen hijinks comedy SLEEPOVER. This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by Abby Rose Morris of the podcast, More than Tracy Turnblad, to talk about a stellar cast, fat representation in teen girl cinema, and why this movie plays like a PG-rated sex comedy.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Follow Our Guest!https://www.morethantracyturnblad.com/See Abby's 'More Than Tracy Turnblad' Cabaret!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/more-than-tracy-turnblad-tickets-518195445527-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
"Now boys, if either of you give me any grief I swear to God I'll kill you. Dead, murdered, stabbed."ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING is an undeniable classic of the teen girl movie canon, but the fish-out-of-water story of a group of kids from the suburbs thrust into Chicago has aged ... poorly. We have a lovingly frank discussion about an absolute blast of a movie, that tried very hard to be different from the blatantly offensive films of the years prior but couldn't quite stick the landing. That said, there's a reason people still have so much love for this film, and a reason why "don't fuck with the babysitter" is one of the all-time great line deliveries in the genre.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Articles MentionedThe Guardian: Blacking up, wacky Asians and the Libyans - the worst of 80s movie racismVulture: Elisabeth Shue Answers Every Question You Have About Adventures in Babysitting-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

American Pie (1999)
"She's gone! Oh my God, she used me. I was used. I was used! Cool!"We're kicking off 2023 by examining the real reason that teen girl cinema went into hibernation after 1999, with the sex comedy that completely changed the genre. That's right, strap in for a discussion on AMERICAN PIE. As This Ends at Prom expands the scope of the films we cover, it's important to look at the game-changers that impacted the films we love so much. So let's talk about Stifler's mom, that "one time at band camp," and whether or not third base actually feels like a warm apple pie.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Articles MentionedThe Atlantic: Was 'American Pie' More Influential Than 'Titanic'?The Guardian: American Pie at 20 -- why the raucous comedy could never be made today-------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
"Listen, I know I can be hard to be around sometimes. I totally understand if you don't want to hang anymore."For the third year in a row, we're ending the calendar with a Michael Cera movie that completely changed the way women were presented in teen cinema moving forward. This time, we're rocking out, playing games, dying our hair, and unpacking our baggage with SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. We're talking about this perfect time capsule of a very niche part of 2010, for better and for worse.

Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) w/ Matt Donato
"Christmas is fast becoming my least favorite 'C' word."We're combining a coming-of-age story, a musical, a zombie-comedy, and a Christmas story all in one, ridiculously fun package with ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. The Wives Colangelo are joined by prolific film journalist, Matt Donato, who is quite possibly this film's biggest fan on the planet. We talk about seeing ourselves on screen, the appreciation of a musical where the characters can actually sing, the surprising amount of gore for a film this heartfelt, and why Christmas horror films are so much fun.-------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Follow our guest on social media! @DonatoBomb--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Black Christmas (1974)
"No, Clare, it's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir making their annual obscene phone call."After three years, we've finally made our way through all three versions of BLACK CHRISTMAS. This week, we're talking about the one that started it all, Bob Clark's classic from 1974. We discuss the importance of BLACK CHRISTMAS in the slasher canon, how the oldest version of the film is somehow the most progressive of all three, wax poetic about Margot Kidder's Barb, and declare this as the best film we've ever covered on the show.

A Cinderella Story (2004)
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."You've been asking for it since the very beginning, but The Wives Colangelo are finally talking about the Hilary Duff not-Disney film, A CINDERELLA STORY. Let's talk about the brilliance of Jennifer Coolidge, the weird Lindsay Lohan/Hilary Duff drama that helped this film at the box office, and why this is the most paint-by-numbers teen girl film ever made. --------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Some Kind of Wonderful (35th Anniversary)
"The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums and you."It's the 35th anniversary of John Hughes' final teen film, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, and The Wives Colangelo has plenty to say. We talk about why this film is the better version of PRETTY IN PINK, pay our respects to a forever crush in Watts, and even give a mini-lesson on the history of Skinheads.

Heaven Help Us (1985) w/ Margo Donohue
We're celebrating Brooklyn, the baby Brat Pack, and Boys' Catholic school with the criminally underseen HEAVEN HELP US. The Wives Colangelo are joined by podcaster, writer, and pop culture maven, Margo Donohue, who just released the book FILMED IN BROOKLYN all about movies set in her stomping grounds. We read a bit from Mike McPadden's TEEN MOVIE HELL, have the chance to examine how teen boys function differently around women compared to all-male groups, and try to figure out why we love Kevin Dillon's Rooney so much, even though he says the f-slur more in this movie than any others combined.--------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Buy Margo's Book! : Filmed in Brooklyn https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9781467146760--------Follow Margo on social media: @BrooklynFitChik--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

The DUFF (2015)
“It's actually not my job to give you pervy intel on my best friends but good luck anyway.”Thanks to the franchise boom of the 2010s, there aren't always a lot of teen films to talk about from this time period. We've been saving this title for a rainy day, and it sure is pouring. That's right, The Wives Colangelo are finally diving deep into THE DUFF. Together we discuss the frustration of films with good intentions, the difference having a script and director can make when allowing actors to truly shine, and sadly including the information that the "DUFF" as a social conceit is a very real thing. ---------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Articles MentionedWe Can Already Declare “The Duff” To Be the Worst Movie of 2015 (https://www.bitchmedia.org/post/we-can-already-declare-the-duff-to-be-the-worst-movie-of-2015)Being the DUFF | Psychology Today(https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/lifetime-connections/201504/being-the-duff)--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Election (1999)
“Some people say I'm an overachiever, but I think they're just jealous.”It's election day and The Wives Colangelo are celebrating with the greatest American political film ever made, ELECTION. This week's discussions include the reappraisal of Tracy Flick as an archetype, why the guy who played Ferris Bueller thrives as a loser adult, and how weirdly relevant ELECTION has remained after all these years.

We Are What We Are (2013)
"I don't know what you think you heard, but you must be mistaken..."Sometimes the most horrific movies have nothing to do with active threats like demonic possession or masked slashers, but the twisted ways in which women are forced into roles they never asked for, and are convinced that harmful, patriarchal rule is "just the way it's always been." In Jim Mickle's haunting film WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, we see Ambyr Childers and Julia Garner forced to navigate their new gender roles as "the women of the house," and how they are now responsible for the preparation of their family's annual feast ...which may or may not be human flesh.---------Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Halloween (1978)
"Halloween is when people play tricks on each other. It's all make-believe."We're kicking off spooky season with a long-requested heavy hitter, John Carpenter's iconic slasher film, HALLOWEEN. Together The Wives discuss the impact of suburban horror stories, figure out which character we most closely identify with, and break down why the decision to center a film around a teen girl hero helped the film become a horror classic.
