"Never let anyone pick on you. Otherwise, you'll carry it with you the rest of your life."10 years ago, Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, Dan Stevens, and Maika Monroe joined forces to make one of the best indie action thrillers set on Halloween, THE GUEST. This is the movie that introduced genre fans to Dan Stevens and proved that Wingard and Barrett could do more than just horror. A decade later, The Wives Colangelo are here to discuss why the film makes for a perfect Halloween watch, and why more people need to listen to 20-year-old girls when they think the vibes are off about a handsome man!----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Interview ReferencedThe Dissolve: "Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, and Dan Stevens on The Guest, and its place in their big plan" https://thedissolve.com/features/interview/760-adam-wingard-simon-barrett-and-dan-stevens-on-the-/----Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

"We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them."Sofia Coppola's directorial debut delivered the world a new look at the Lisbon Sisters, undeniably feminine atmospheric filmmaking, an examination of the way men examine women, and generations of women responded by romanticizing their pain and aestheticizing turmoil as a means of processing negative emotions. This week, the Wives Colangelo are joined by a dear friend of the show, Miranda Zickler, to discuss why THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is a seminal film and one of the most important films in the teen girl canon.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----Follow our Guest!Miranda Zickler on Instagram: @mirandatheswampmonsterKuinka the Band! https://linktr.ee/kuinkathebandMagpie Cinema Club: https://magpiecinemaclub.bandcamp.com/----Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

Harmony came down HARD on the film and BJ had an existential crisis about it. But that was before Harmony became well-versed in the ways of teen girl movies, so in honor of the show's 200th episode and the 25th anniversary of the film, it's time the movie is given a closer look.

“Hell is a teenage girl."15 years ago, Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama joined forces to create one of the best teen girl films of all time, JENNIFER'S BODY.

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/

"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?

"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?

Joining the Wives this week is Jamie Jirak, an entertainment journalist, and critic who doubles as a die-hard fan of this film.

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. What happens when your coming-of-age experience is, well, a little more than rough around the edges?

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/

"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.

This year's birthday episode is Richard Ayoade's unconventional coming-of-age black comedy, SUBMARINE.

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.

"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.

With Rex Manning Day right around the corner, it's time we finally tackled the cult phenomenon, EMPIRE RECORDS.

Friend of the show and FREAKY screenwriter Michael Kennedy drops in from the set of his new horror film to give some extra love to his all-time favorite movie, and Harmony once again laments how the SCARY MOVIE franchise has warped her feelings about the SCREAM series.

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?

"I always liked the idea of being in charge of my future ... until it actually started happening."Sequel month continues as The Wives Colangelo go on summer vacation with the cast of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2. 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/

“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.

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/

"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/

"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/

"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/

"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.

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/

"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.

"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/

"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.

“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/

"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/

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.

“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.

"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.

"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.

"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: @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/

"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.

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? This week, we're answering all of those questions and so many more you never knew you had.--------Article Referenced--Ten Years Ago: The Phantom of the Opera: https://rb.gy/rizjij--------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/

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: @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/

“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.

“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 ReferencedCan'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: @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/

"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: @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/

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.

"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.

"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.Articles Referenced---------In Defense of Spring Breakers: https://rb.gy/fq4g8lSpring Breakers, a riotous take on modern America: https://rb.gy/ss1dvr---------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/

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

“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.

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 ReferencedThe 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: @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/
