This Ends at Prom

"Well, what were you thinking? Publicize the music! Not your crotch!"
The Runaways completely changed what was possible for women in rock music, and the stories of Cherie Currie and Joan Jett are the stuff of legend. This week, The Wives Colangelo are taking the 2010 biopic about the band starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, and discussing the exploitation of teenage girls by the music industry and what it means when something brilliant is born out of absolute rot.

"It takes more than a fire truck to stop Drop Dead Fred."
Some of us aren't lucky enough to have an imaginary friend like DROP DEAD FRED, but plenty of people are fortunate enough not to need him. In honor of the film's 35th anniversary, we're dissecting a quarter-life crisis nervous breakdown movie about a young woman who finds the key to happiness is embracing the person society tried to keep trapped in a jack-in-the-box. Let's go, snot-faces!!

"I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time."
In 2008, one of the greatest vampire films in cinema history was released, and it doubled as one of the most beautiful examinations of the type of yearning for someone to understand you that can only take place during adolescence. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a haunting, stunning, and devastating film that sincerely changed the lives of The Wives Colangelo forever.

"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.

“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.
