Number 1: The Blue Lagoon (1980)
"God. He can't find us any better than Santa Claus."How do we discuss a movie like THE BLUE LAGOON, which was so impactful to a generation of young people, when we are plagued with knowing too much about the depravity of humans? Well, we’re sure going to try. Sometimes a teen girl movie deserves interrogation more than celebration. This week, The Wives Colangelo are tackling one of the highest-grossing films of 1980. It, uh, it's going to get weird.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTThe JED Foundation: https://www.jedfoundation.org--------Documentary MentionedPretty Baby: Brooke Shields on Hulu--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Number 2: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (40th Anniversary)
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."This Ends at Prom is six years old, and The Wives Colangelo are celebrating with the last John Hughes teen movie they've yet to cover, FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. A teen movie so beloved it's in the Library of Congress, let's dissect why this movie has the staying power that it does, whether or not Ferris is "actually a villain," and what it means to escape the confines of Suburbia for the perfect day off 40 years later.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTAmerica's ToothFairy: https://www.americastoothfairy.org/--------Article MentionedBright Wall/Dark Room: https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2023/11/30/ferris-bueller-a-fruitful-life/--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Number 3: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023)
"We all do things we're not proud of to survive."Sequel Month is getting the prequel treatment as The Wives Colangelo return to Panem for THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. This week's episode might be a bit of a heavier one, considering, well, everything, but to fight fascism, you have to know how it operates. Fortunately, the dystopian prequel does a pretty bang-up job at showcasing how leaders like Coriolanus Snow come to power, why you should never trust state-controlled media, and how the seeds of resistance take so long to come to harvest. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds, as always, be ever in your favor.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTResources for Trans Youth in Kansas: https://southernequality.org/ks/--------Article MentionedIn ‘The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,’ Lucy Gray Is a Different Kind of Hero in Katniss’ World(https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes-lucy-gray-katniss-hunger-games)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Number 4: Return to Oz (1985)
"I have always valued my lifelessness."We love a sequel that goes completely bugnuts off the rails compared to its original, and RETURN TO OZ has enough kindertrauma to do the trick. Somehow, Harmony missed this classic twisted fantasy that altered the brain chemistry of multiple generations, but sequel month is taking The Wives Colangelo back down what WAS the yellow brick road with a sassy chicken, dismembered heads, and electroshock therapy on minors.

Number 5: The Pregnancy Pact (2010)
"So this is what it feels like to be Jamie Lynn Spears."There are two types of people in this world: People who love Lifetime Original Movies and people named Harmony Colangelo. This Ends at Prom is finally embarking on the wild world of LMN originals and starting with THE PREGNANCY PACT, a ripped-from-the-headlines drama with massive creative liberties taken. What actually happened to these girls? Why are so many people obsessed with stories about teen girls behaving "badly," and where is the line between entertainment and exploitation?--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTDONATE TO YOUR LOCAL FOOD BANKS.
