“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.

"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.

191: Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

“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.

190: Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen 20th Anniversary

“I mean, if I don't have a personality of my own, so what? I'm an actress! I can put on as many personalities as I want!"

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.

189: Fame (1980)

“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...

188: Mean Girls (2024)

“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!
