This Ends at Prom

"Do you know I'm anatomically correct?"While everyone is celebrating entering their "new year, new me" era, This Ends at Prom is kicking off 2026 with the long-awaited discussion of LIFE-SIZE. The movie that strut in plastic heels before Barbie could rollerblade down Venice Beach, The Wives Colangelo are talking about unapologetic feminine presentation, the power of dollhood, why Lindsay Lohan continues to rock, and what the hell that line about anatomical correctness means.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe Flytrap Media (https://www.theflytrapmedia.com)--------Podcast ReferenceAmerican Hysteria: Blame it on Barbie (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0nqy5sz15xeOLhIVGD420r)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

“I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it."The best way to spend the holidays is curled up next to a warm fire and waxing poetic about the March sisters and LITTLE WOMEN. This year, The Wives Colangelo are dissecting Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel, and debating the parallel storytelling device. And not to pit strong LITTLE WOMEN against each other, but they're also going to compare and contrast this version with the sacred 1994 film covered in 2023.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTRainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"That's what I like about you. I never know what you'll say next."Alex Thompson and Kelly O'Sullivan's SAINT FRANCES was one of the best films released during quarantine, and no one has been a bigger champion of it than writer, editor, critic, and host Amelia Emberwing. The Wives Colangelo are joined by Emberwing to dissect what a coming-of-age film looks like as life milestones become increasingly unattainable, what adults can learn from children, the ways womanhood is scrutinized even in progressive spaces, and how period blood can be used to tell a story--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTRainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org)--------Follow our Guest!@ThatWitchMiahttps://www.picketywitch.com/--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"That's what I like about you. I never know what you'll say next."40 years ago, Madonna transcended into pop star superstardom and helped turn a quarter-life crisis film into a coming-of-age classic that helped define teen fashion for a decade. Many women are shaped by the women who came before them and showed them what was possible, and that's precisely what Susan provided for a generation. Sometimes being desperate is the best thing for you.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTRainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org)--------Articles MentionedThe Cut: https://www.thecut.com/2015/04/ode-to-desperately-seeking-susans-dgaf-style.html CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/style/remember-when-desperately-seeking-susan-madonna-signature-style--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"So today's lesson is, you kill each other off till there's only one left. Nothing's against the rules."25 years ago, Kinji Fukasaku brought the infamous novel BATTLE ROYALE to life, and essentially invented a new subgenre of dystopian teen cinema. In honor of the film's anniversary, The Wives Colangelo are exploring the incredibly bleak messaging the film has about generational division, government-sanctioned violence, and the disposability of youth. Don't worry, this week's episode will also get into the discourse surrounding the film's connection to THE HUNGER GAMES, and why Quentin Tarantino doesn't know what he's talking about.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTRainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
