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.

    187: Mystic Pizza (1988)

    187: Mystic Pizza (1988)

    “Kat, such a good girl. Where did we go wrong with her sister Daisy?"

    The coming-of-age of three young Portuguese-American friends who work at a pizza parlor in a seaside Connecticut town, MYSTIC PIZZA tells three different stories of girls growing up, learning about love, and trying to figure out what's in the secret sauce of the best pizza in town. This week the Wives Colangelo are worshipping working-class women with big hair, thirsting after a weirdly hot Vincent D’Onofrio, mocking rich WASP names like "Steamer," and telling a very special story from Harmony!

    186: Superstar (1999)

    186: Superstar (1999)

    “There was only one way I'd ever get what I wanted. I would have to become exactly like those people l saw getting kissed in the movies. I would have to become: a superstar."

    25 years ago, Molly Shannon brought her beloved Saturday Night Live character to the big screen with a hilarious coming-of-age film filled with actors in their 30s playing high schoolers, an abundance of references to old made-for-TV movies, Will Ferrell as Jesus, multiple scenes of a girl making out with a tree, and sketch comedy legends doing what they do best to give us SUPERSTAR. This week the Wives Colangelo pay their respects to Mary Katherine Gallagher by praising a movie about yearning, developing a personality based on the media you consume, and ridiculously quotable one-liners.

    185: Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

    185: Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

    “Life sucks and people are jerk-offs."

    We're only four months into 2024 and we've already got a killer coming-of-RAGE story to talk about, Zelda Wililams and Diablo Cody's LISA FRANKENSTEIN! The Wives Colangelo discuss '80s teen comedies, the glory of being an actual weird girl, the return of Diablo Cody to the teen girl horror space, and we hear from This Ends at Prom's official pre-teen correspodent, Roxie Allen (who has made this film her entire personality). Dig in, weirdos!

    184: The Crush (1993) w/ Sarah Marshall

    184: The Crush (1993) w/ Sarah Marshall

    “Just goes to show you, Nick. You can never be too careful."

    The incomparable Sarah Marshall joins The Wives Colangelo this week to tackle one of the prickliest teen girl movies out there, and celebrate the feature film debut of Alicia Silverstone with THE CRUSH. Let's talk about the deeply weird true story behind the film, try to figure out the logistics of putting a functional carousel in an attic, and the effectiveness of weaponizing bees. The show gets into some weird and dark territory, but with Sarah Marshall around, there's still plenty of laughs to be had.

    183: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 & 2

    “You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground. But do you see that? Fire is catching... And if we burn... you burn with us!"

    Sequel month comes to an end as The Wives Colangelo close the chapter of THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy. This week the show tackles the financial decisions to split the story into two movies, discuss the film's (unfortunate) continued relevance, and honor Donald Sutherland - the current frontrunner for the male actor who has appeared in the most movies discussed on the show thus far. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

    182: Bring It On Again (2004) w/ Tara Giancaspro

    182: Bring It On Again (2004) w/ Tara Giancaspro

    “I want you to know that just by trying out today, you're already a winner. Unless of course you get cut, in which case, technically a loser."

    Bring it? Oh, it's already been brought-en. Sequel month continues as the wives finally dive back into the cheerleading juggernaut franchise with BRING IT ON AGAIN, and are joined by writer, musician, and all-around badass, Tara Giancaspro. Together they discuss old school mascots, the effectiveness of cheering in family heirloom pearls, and wonder why this film is so forgotten for being shockingly hilarious.

Love this podcast and the wives!

As someone who was a teen girl in the late nineties and early 2000’s, this podcast speaks to me so hard. I love that they cover everything from mainstream teen stuff to lesser-known weirdo movies that I love like “Welcome to the Dollhouse.” Thanks for making me feel proud to be an Adult Teenager. 😆
