"My face looks like a Birkin bag that's been left out in the sun to rot!"The long-awaited sequel to 2003's FREAKY FRIDAY is finally here, and The Wives Colangelo are thrilled to finally have a movie in theaters that they can cover on the show. Is FREAKIER FRIDAY a worthy follow-up to the absolute best film in the franchise, or was it another cheap bid for nostalgia that no one needed? Is a four-way body swap too confusing for audiences to make sense of, or is the promise of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan getting to be partners in crime enough to look past the plot conveniences? This week's episode will attempt to answer all of these questions and so many more.

Now & Then (1995)
"As we grow older, it becomes difficult to just believe."In honor of the film's 30th anniversary, The Wives Colangelo are stuffing their bras with pudding, trying to find the truth about a tombstone, having an existential crisis about coming back to their hometowns, and falling in love all over again with the movie NOW AND THEN. Let's talk about the sapphic energy of Sam and Roberta, the chokehold Devon Sawa had on a generation, and why male critics comparing the film to STAND BY ME is lazy film criticism. --------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTFriendship Place: https://friendshipplace.org/--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@Veloci_trap_tor / @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social.com----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

In Memory of Margo Donohue, Heaven Help Us (1985) Re-Release
"I've been kicked off the track team, and without track, my grades will be based on ...my grades."The world lost a wonderful woman this month with the passing of Margo Donohue. In honor of her life and legacy, we're re-releasing our episode with her on HEAVEN HELP US, the 1985 Catholic school boys film filmed in Brooklyn. At the time of the episode, Margo had just released the book FILMED IN BROOKLYN, all about movies set in her stomping grounds. We also read a bit from Mike McPadden's TEEN MOVIE HELL, had the chance to examine how teen boys function differently around women compared to all-male groups, and tried to figure out why we love Kevin Dillon's Rooney so much, even though he says the f-slur more in this movie than any others combined.We miss you already, Margo. For more of her work, check out the books FILMED IN BROOKLYN and FEVER: The Complete History of Saturday Night Fever, as well as her podcasts What a Creep!, Dorking Out, and Book Vs. Movie.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@Veloci_trap_tor / @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social.com----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Light of Day (1987)
"Music is all that matters. One hour on stage makes up for the other 23."The Wives Colangelo are heading back to the Midwest for a trip, so it's only fitting that they'd cover an underrated shot-in-Cleveland story starring Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox about a pair of musical siblings trying to find their places in the world. Directed by Paul Schrader and featuring music by Bruce Springsteen, LIGHT OF DAY is an odd little slice of life in the Rust Belt that might be more interesting to talk about than it is to actually watch. ----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTL.A.

Dumplin' (2018)
"As far as I'm concerned, a swimsuit body is a body with a swimsuit on it."This week The Wives Colangelo are heading to Texas, signing up for a pageant to piss off our mothers, and learning from drag queens what it means to be a beauty queen with DUMPLIN'! It's time to discuss the insecurities our moms imprint on us, why seeking external validation while existing in a marginalized body is not anti-feminist, and why Dolly Parton truly is the North Star for anyone who has ever felt like they were too much or not enough.----Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTL.A.
