This Ends at Prom

"You mean she would rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her?"
If you were a quirky film girlie in the 2000s, chances are, you resonated very deeply with a young French woman named Amélie. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by the brilliant Liz Gotauco to discuss the aestheticization of twentysomethings' coming of age, fixating on fixing other people's problems to ignore your own, and falling in love through photobooth slides.

"I feel like our lives changed because they had to."
As chosen by our Patreon supporters, The Wives Colangelo are kicking off April with a story of summer, sisterhood, and magical pants. Let's talk about four different stories about coming-of-age, the blessing of well-rounded characters, and maybe cry a little bit about the stories that hit a little close to home. Together and apart!

"That's funny, I've never heard of George Glass at our sküle."
Didn't The Wives Colangelo JUST cover The Brady Bunch Movie? And they're already doing A Very Brady Sequel? YEAH, SO WHAT? WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?! After catching Brady Fever, This Ends at Prom is jumping from the Jan Brady movie to the one about Greg and Marcia wanting to kiss each other. It's wild, it's raucous, and American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith is back to gush all about it.

"We all do things we're not proud of to survive."
Sequel Month is getting the prequel treatment as The Wives Colangelo return to Panem for THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. This week's episode might be a bit of a heavier one, considering, well, everything, but to fight fascism, you have to know how it operates. Fortunately, the dystopian prequel does a pretty bang-up job at showcasing how leaders like Coriolanus Snow come to power, why you should never trust state-controlled media, and how the seeds of resistance take so long to come to harvest. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds, as always, be ever in your favor.

"I have always valued my lifelessness."
We love a sequel that goes completely bugnuts off the rails compared to its original, and RETURN TO OZ has enough kindertrauma to do the trick. Somehow, Harmony missed this classic twisted fantasy that altered the brain chemistry of multiple generations, but sequel month is taking The Wives Colangelo back down what WAS the yellow brick road with a sassy chicken, dismembered heads, and electroshock therapy on minors. BEWARE THE WHEELERS!!!
