  • "Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mom tried to protect us with God. Dad tried to protect us with wrestling."

    It's Harmony's birthday so The Wives Colangelo are honoring her teen girl experience by talking about one of the most important things to her coming-of-age: professional wrestling. And there's no better way to dissect growing up in a masculine space and the crushing pressure of the patriarchy than to talk about Sean Durkin's phenomenal film, THE IRON CLAW. Joining the team is returning guest and dear friend Alex Steed, who is tagging in to tackle the beautiful, heartbreaking, and complicated world of manhood.

  • "Poets, geniuses, revolutionaries. Lemonade Mouth has been called all of these things. But the real story, the story of our band came to be, is a mystery to them all."

    May-usical Month comes to a close with an all-time great Disney Channel Original Movie and arguably the best made-for-TV teen movie about a fake band, ever, LEMONADE MOUTH! This week the Wives Colangelo are joined by returning guest Michael Varrati to talk about DCOMs as baby's first cult films, why this movie transcends its target audience, and we say a prayer to Lesbian Jesus.

  • "Seventeen and you can't stop me! Seventeen and you won't boss me! You cannot control me father! Daddy's girl's a fucking monster!"

    It's BJ's birthday so to celebrate the Wives Colangelo are getting goth, singing their faces off, and making sure their organ payments are on time as to not face the Repo Man. That's right, it's finally time for REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA! What's up with the Vaseline filter? Is this Paris Hilton's best role? And where exactly does that Zydrate come from? These questions and more are answered in this week's episode.

  • “It was the first time I realized that absolute reality could be so much more fun than fantasy"

    While this one might only be a musical on a technicality, the theatrical, over-the-top, explosive feelings of CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN were worth talking about! Lindsay Lohan is a compulsive liar and Megan Fox is the meanest, hottest girl in school, what more could you want? This week The Wives Colangelo discuss falling in love with rock stars, making friends with wildly different parents than your own, and the hilarity of Carol Kane committing to the theater teacher bit.

    The Wives Colangelo are tackling one of the very few movies This Ends at Prom will ever cover to have won an Oscar, let alone two! That's right, it's time to audition for FAME. This week's discussions include coming-of-age in a landscape that already treats you like an adult, why Irene Cara is a tour de force, and gush about working-class dads who love their sons.

  • “I will grind you to sand beneath my Louboutin heel."

    One of the most important teen movies in history was given the musical treatment this year, but the studios certainly didn't make that clear! The Wives Colangelo are kicking off MAYusical month 2024 with MEAN GIRLS: THE MUSICAL (THE MOVIE)! Let's talk about Renee Rapp's legendary press tour, updating the characters and jokes (or lack thereof) for a new generation, and the unfair ruthlessness of Gen Z's TikTok reviews of the film and one particular performance...

  • “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!

  • “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.

  • “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!

  • “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.

    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.

    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.

The Wives Colangelo discuss the wild production history, praise the film's ahead-of-its-time themes, wonder whether or not Rachel was secretly in love with Lisa, and crown Walter the dog as Horror's Goodest Boy Who Doesn't Want To Be In a Horror Movie. They're all gonna laugh at you, but that's okay ... just crucify them with some CDs.

    Sequel month is back and The Wives Colangelo are continuing on their adventures through the TWILIGHT franchise with the third installment, ECLIPSE. Let's talk about weird flashback sequences, PG-13 violence, try to resist making fun of "newborn vampires," and wonder if the Wives will once again be on Team Charlie. Will Harmony like this one better than NEW MOON? Listen in and find out!

    This week The Wives Colangelo are heading back to the 1980s and dancing to their hearts' content with GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN. Does doing backflips automatically mean you're the best dancer? Why didn't we teach white girls with curly hair what to do other than brush them out into frizz? Will anyone ever be as cool as Helen Hunt in a grasshopper hat? Let's try to answer these questions and so much more.

    Women in prison! True Crime! Sleaze! Revenge! This week This Ends at Prom getting filthy, sleazy, and seeing a version of Reese Witherspoon that would inspire the real-life Elle Woods to kick ass in court with Matthew Bright's FREEWAY. Joining the Wives Colangelo is comedian, host, and author Elizabeth Teets as the trio dive into one of the edgiest teen films of the 1990s. You'll be shouting "EL SEXO" with a southern accent in no time!

    You never forget your first love, and for Lara Jean Covey, all of those loves happening at once makes for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. In honor of Valentine's Day, The Wives Colangelo are discussing TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE and talking about teen romance films that aren't "rom-coms," the wild swing Netflix took in allowing the hot tub tape scene to play out, and BJ reads a love letter from Harmony on air!

  • “Hell is a teenage girl."

    15 years ago, Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama joined forces to create one of the best teen girl films of all time, JENNIFER'S BODY. Critics didn't understand it, it was marketed for an audience that was never going to love it, but the die-hard fans who knew the truth kept it alive. Now, reclaimed 15 years later, we're revisiting the film and talking about the journey it went on from cult-hit to bonafide teen classic, and embracing the return of Diablo Cody to teen girl horror comedy with LISA FRANKENSTEIN.

  • “Life isn't absurd! Some people give their lives for freedom."

    The coming-of-age experience can be an especially terrifying time, but when you're navigating your teenage years against the backdrop of political unrest and revolution, every decision you make becomes a political one. This week The Wives Colangelo are talking about Marjane Satrapi's PERSEPOLIS and discussing what it means to be punk in the face of oppression, having an identity crisis, and the importance of consuming international media as a means of unlearning propaganda.

    Who gets to decide what makes a "good" childhood? This week the Wives Colangelo are talking about one of their favorite filmmakers and one of the most honest looks at the coming-of-age experience for kids often shaped by pity, Sean Baker's THE FLORIDA PROJECT. Let's talk about the ethics of ripping off rich people, independent play, and the impact of having just one adult figure to actually care about your well being.
