This Ends at Prom

"Sometimes on the wind, I feel something say my name, telling me to come to some far-off place." This week The Wives Colangelo are going back to the 1970s, heading into the Appalachian hills, and joining their friend Sam Pancake on a journey WHERE THE LILIES BLOOM. Together the trio discuss coming-of-age in rural communities, Hollywood's failure to accurately depict Appalachia, the parentification of young children properly, and why we all love Harry Dean Stanton. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow our guest! @TheSamPancake Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie: https://www.patreon.com/mondayafternoonmovie ---- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT The Buckeye Flame! https://thebuckeyeflame.com/ ---- Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"The only thing worse than being incompetent, or being unkind, or being evil, is being indecisive." This week The Wives Colangelo are heading to Connecticut and contemplating whether or not being a jerk who wears Vineyard Vines is enough to justify meeting the sharp end of a kitchen utensil by discussing THOROUGHBREDS. Discussions for this gorgeous, creepy movie include trying to figure out why the emotionless Amanda is more relatable than the overly emotional Lily, why so many movies want to look like they were made by Yorgos Lanthimos, how growing up wealthy rots your brains, and what true love in a friendship can look like between two deeply unwell teenage girls. --- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT The Buckeye Flame! https://thebuckeyeflame.com/ ---- Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

"You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life." On February 26, 2025, the world lost an influential performer in Michelle Trachtenberg. An icon in the world of teen movies and TV dramas, she first came into the hearts of many as the titular HARRIET THE SPY. In honor of her life, The Wives Colangelo are discussing one of the best kid's movies (that isn't structured at all like a kid's movie) that only feels like it's gotten more special as years have gone by. The first Nickelodeon film ever was unafraid to tackle difficult topics, difficult children, and the difficulties of growing up. Get your spy kit ready because we've got a lesbian nanny to learn from! Rest in peace, Michelle.

"You nicknamed my daughter after the loch-ness monster?!" Sequel month comes to a close with the long-awaited conclusion to This Ends at Prom's coverage on The Twilight Saga. Joining The Wives Colangelo for a double-header episode is journalist and podcaster Rosie Knight, as the trio tackle the wedding, honeymoon, and sickly childbirth of Breaking Dawn Part 1, before diving into the fight-that-isn't-a-real-fight of Avatar: The Last Airbender vampires of Breaking Dawn Part 2. It's been a wild four years of Twilight movies. Imprint on us! --- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow Our Guest!

"Witchcraft in general is such a charged word. We literally house babies in our stomachs. That's some Ridley Scott shit." Sequel month is getting witchy as The Wives Colangelo are joined by the incomparable Alexandra Heller-Nicholas to discuss the highly controversial lega-sequel, THE CRAFT: LEGACY. Does this movie deserve all the hate it gets? Could this have been a beloved movie if it wasn't saddled with the name of a sacred IP? Will we ever get a "woke Timmy" spinoff? We're calling the corners and trying to find the answers, will you be our fourth? --- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHT Help Nina Nguyen Make Her Comedy Special: DREAMS! https://seedandspark.com/fund/dreams-comedy-special#story Help Rekha Shankar Make Her Movie: Vidhya's Guide to the Afterlife! rekhamovie.com ---- Follow our guest!
