This Ends at Prom is a weekly podcast analyzing the staying power of womanhood featured in coming-of-age and teen girl movies from the queer, feminist cisgender and transgender perspectives of wives BJ Colangelo and Harmony Colangelo.

    200: 10 Things I Hate About You (25th Anniversary)

    200: 10 Things I Hate About You (25th Anniversary)

    "But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

    195 episodes ago, The Wives Colangelo covered 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, the movie that inspired the podcast's existence in the first place. 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. Has Harmony's feelings about Kat Stratford and Patrick Verona changed? Can BJ get through the episode without crying? (Spoiler: NO) Listen in and find out!

    199: Legally Blonde (2001) w/ Bobbi Miller

    “I’ll show you how valuable Elle Woods can be.”

    The Wives Colangelo have held off on covering LEGALLY BLONDE until there was a guest wanting to talk about the film that was deserving of Ms. Elle Woods and culture critic Bobbi Miller is here to join This Ends at Prom in finally giving our favorite Cosmo girl/lawyer her due. This week the show discusses the anti-femme hate of the 2000s, why Jennifer Coolidge is a national treasure, and why doing something out of spite is sometimes the best way to learn about yourself.

    198: Gidget (65th Anniversary)

    198: Gidget (65th Anniversary)

    "I'm no dame!"

    65 years ago, a blonde small fry played by Sandra Dee picked up a surf board, showed the boys at the beach what she was made of, and completely changed the world. No, really. In honor of the anniversary of the teen beach movie that started it all, GIDGET, The Wives Colangelo are diving in deep and discussing the groundbreaking source material, how a teenage girl is responsible for popularizing surfing in the continental United States, and look at how unintentionally gay this movie is and has always been.

    197: Cadet Kelly (2002)

    Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone: "You're on my list, maggot!" Kelly Collins: "You'd be on mine if I had one!"

    Some folks celebrate the 4th of July in the States as Independence Day, but here at This Ends at Prom we're honoring the queer tension of the military school propaganda disguised as a Disney Channel Original Movie, CADET KELLY. We've got Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible doing aggressive drill team dance-offs and Gary Cole demanding to be called "Sir." This is a shorter episode so you can get back to eating food off the grill, blowing off fireworks, and plotting how to overthrow this ridiculously corrupt government before November. AT EASE, MAGGOTS!!

    195: The Hot Chick (2002)

    195: The Hot Chick (2002)

    "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.

10/10! The most perfect duo. Dying for you guys to review ‘Rules of Attraction’ through modern lens. As queer as it is problematic

Kathryn Brosto ,

A comfort show for movie buffs

This podcast is the perfect mix of nostalgia and learning about something new. I love being able to pop around and pick an episode based on my mood because they cover so many different things even within one genre. I always learn something even if it’s a film I thought I was super familiar with. I recommend this show to literally everyone I talk to lol

justbonesJB ,

I never went to Prom but I’ll always say “YES” to this podcast

The Wives Colangelo are bringing all of us the weekly dosage of teen girl cinema that we all need in our lives
