"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 SPOTLIGHTThe Buckeye Flame! https://thebuckeyeflame.com/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Harriet the Spy (1996)
"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.

The Craft: Legacy (2020) w/ Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
"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 SPOTLIGHTHelp Nina Nguyen Make Her Comedy Special: DREAMS!https://seedandspark.com/fund/dreams-comedy-special#storyHelp Rekha Shankar Make Her Movie: Vidhya's Guide to the Afterlife!rekhamovie.com----Follow our guest!Alexandra Heller-Nicholas: @horrornonna | https://horrornonna.com/The Cinema Coven: Witches, Witchcraft and Women’s Filmmaking – is now on sale through McFarland: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/the-cinema-coven/----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde (2003)
"Speak up for the home of the brave. Speak up for the land of the free gift with purchase. Speak up, America!."Sequel month continues as The Wives Colangelo follow Elle Woods to Capitol Hill as she fights for animal rights, becomes the ultimate gay dog ally, realizes just how corrupt the legislative system truly is and ... takes some huge steps back from the character growth shown in the first movie? Also, is Luke Wilson even in this movie or did they just greenscreen him in? The Wives have questions and they're searching for answers with LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED, WHITE, AND BLONDE!---Become a Patron!https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom----MONTHLY SUPPORT SPOTLIGHTHelp Nina Nguyen Make Her Comedy Special: DREAMS!https://seedandspark.com/fund/dreams-comedy-special#storyHelp Rekha Shankar Make Her Movie: Vidhya's Guide to the Afterlife!rekhamovie.com----Follow the Show: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo: @Veloci_trap_tor / @HarmonyColangelo on Bluesky----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
