    The Wizard of Oz (85th Anniversary)

    "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?" With the premiere of WICKED just days away, The Wives Colangelo are going back 85 years to discuss arguably the most-watched film in history, and one that happens to also be a teen girl movie — The Wizard of Oz. A film that has been analyzed for decades, This Ends at Prom is focusing on Dorothy's journey into a technicolor world of escapism, recognizing the parallels between Dorothy Gale and Judy Garland's bleak coming-of-age experiences, and losing it over the Scarecrow's weapon of choice. Surrender Dorothy!

    Pieces of April (2003)

    "Once, there was this day... this one day when... everyone realized they needed each other." Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so The Wives Colangelo are discussing a rare festive film. Most people remember PIECES OF APRIL for the cover art of an alternative Katie Holmes with choppy bangs and box-dyed red hair, but few remember the micro-budget charm of a story about an estranged young woman attempting to host what might be the last holiday she ever has with her family before her mother passes from cancer. With an Oscar-nominated performance from Patricia Clarkson and a message of how family can go beyond your blood relatives, let PIECES OF APRIL be the warm hug you need ahead of what may be a tumultuous holiday season with your own family. BONUS: Poppa Colangelo stops by to tell a little family story! (Stay for the end of episode button, trust us.) ---- Article Referenced Happy Hagfish: Pieces of April Holds Up 20 Years Later https://happyhagfish.com/2023/11/22/pieces-of-april-holds-up-20-years-later/ ---- Become a Patron! https://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/

    Dick (1999) 25th Anniversary

    "You can't let Dick run your life!" We were hoping the election would turn out much different than it did, but this isn't the first time America has dealt with a crook for a president, and statistically speaking, won't be the last. To distract us from the impending horrors, we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the teen-girls-take-down-the-president classic, DICK. Full disclosure, this episode is probably going to get BURIED by algorithms based on the film's name so if you want to do us a solid and share this week's episode with a friend, we'll make you some Hello Dolly cookies! (We won't, that'd be too dangerous to ship). We love you. Thank you for listening.

    "So many pretty parts and no pretty wholes." Happy Halloween, Prom Party! The Wives Colangelo are closing out the most wonderful time of the year by diving into Lucky McKee's indie horror masterpiece, May. Grab your scissors and pile of doll parts because topics this week include the dreaded "things would be different if the roles were reversed" conversation, trying to determine what the inverse of pansexuality is, gushing about Angela Bettis, Anna Faris, Jeremy Sisto, and James Duval, and attempting to tackle the loneliness epidemic. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Article Referenced Cult Projections' interview with Lucky McKee: https://www.cultprojections.com/interviews/interview-with-lucky-mckee ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

    Departing Seniors w/ director Clare Cooney!

    "Well, the idea that there was any control to begin with is a f*cking illusion. There's only one thing in the universe we have even the tiniest bit of control over -- ourselves." Y'all wanna hear an episode about independent filmmaking and telling passionate stories? In a special spooky season treat, The Wives Colangelo are joined by director Clare Cooney to talk about her latest feature film, the queer supernatural high school slasher, DEPARTING SENIORS. Together the trio discuss the horror movies that inspired the picture, the evolution of the "final girl," and what it was like to work with Yani "Paolo Valisari in the Lizzie McGuire Movie" Gellman after years of acting in horror movies.  Check out DEPARTING SENIORS now on Tubi TV or on VOD.  ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow our guest @clarecooneyofficial ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

    The Guest (10th Anniversary)

    "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 Referenced The 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: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

    A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) w/ Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble

    "Whatever you do... don't fall asleep." A Nightmare on Elm Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, so The Wives Colangelo are joined by guests Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble of The Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about the slasher greatness of Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, why practical effects will always reign supreme, and why Heather Langenkamp's Nancy Thompson is the ultimate final girl. We're pretending palm trees exist in Ohio, remembering a time when Johnny Depp was someone worth pining, and paying our respects to teen horror maestro, the late, great Wes Craven. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow our guests Julia Marchese: @JuliaCMarchese Teri Gamble: @TheTeriGamble Listen to their podcast, The Horror Movie Survival Guide! https://horrormoviesurvivalguidepodcast.com/ ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor
