"Why didn't you fight back?"

Coming of age isn't always about prom dresses and virginity pacts, sometimes it's a lot more... raw. This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by the brilliant Vanessa Guerrero to discuss Julia Ducournau's coming-of-rage masterpiece, RAW. Together they discuss why cannibalism stories are so prominent in teen horror, what it feels like to put on femininity as a costume, and why it's so satisfying to watch someone just rip something apart with their teeth.

"High school's better than junior high. They'll call you names, but not as much to your face."

We're diving into the grandmother of cringe coming-of-age films by tackling Todd Solondz's magnificent WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE. Join the Wives Colangelo as they discuss laughing in the face of trauma, why Heather Matarazzo is a natural treasure, and why only '90s kids remember what a screwed-up time it was to grow up.

We mustn't dwell, No, not today. We can't. Not on Rex Manning Day."

You asked for it and we delivered. With Rex Manning Day right around the corner, it's time we finally tackled the cult phenomenon, EMPIRE RECORDS. The Wives Colangelo talk about the bangin' soundtrack, our celebrity crushes, wax poetic about films that are "just vibes," and Harmony shares a wild story about dealing with a shoplifter.

"It's a perfect example of life imitating art imitating life."

We're closing up sequel month with arguably the greatest teen slasher series in history and talking about SCREAM 2. Friend of the show and FREAKY screenwriter Michael Kennedy drops in from the set of his new horror film to give some extra love to his all-time favorite movie, and Harmony once again laments how the SCARY MOVIE franchise has warped her feelings about the SCREAM series. Sorry to the Randy stans, we're mean to him about this movie too!

"Remember who the real enemy is."

As sequel month continues on, we're tackling a sequel that surpasses the original and represents the best installment of a franchise. That's right, we're reentering THE HUNGER GAMES! The Wives are talking about the increased political messaging, what was lost by maintaining a PG-13 rating, and why the film has only gotten more relevant with time.

"Just because I didn't get my fairytale ending doesn't mean you shouldn't."

Justice for Lilly Moscovitz!! Sometimes a movie gets a sequel ... and really shouldn't have gotten a sequel. This week The Wives Colangelo are returning to Genovia, and aren't exactly thrilled with the results. How dare Disney make us disappointed by a movie starring so many of our favorites AND written by Shonda Rhimes? Let's dive in and discuss what could have been done differently, what parts we genuinely still enjoy, and a small mini-rant about the way male YouTube "critics" punch down at movies for young women.

"I always liked the idea of being in charge of my future ... until it actually started happening."

Sequel month continues as The Wives Colangelo go on summer vacation with the cast of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2. This week they're joined by writer and funnyman Zach Heltzel, who used to host the incredible Zetus Lepodcast: The Oral History of Disney Channel Original Movies. Together they talk about why this is the best HSM film of the bunch, how weird it is that the Disney Channel was clearly trying to profit off of the tween machine's obsession with Zac Efron, give Ashley Tisdale her flowers, and continue to lament the lack of an openly gay Ryan Evans.

"Wow, maybe I shouldn't be dating such an old man. It's gross. I should be thoroughly repulsed."

We're kicking off a month of sequels with the second installment of the TWILIGHT saga, NEW MOON. We're into uncharted territory for Harmony, who had as good of a time watching this film as you can imagine ... which is to say she had a very bad time. Let's talk about Bella's adrenaline junkie phase, the Vampire Vatican, and the awful Indigenous representation with Jacob's wolf pack!

“I'll never let go, Jack. I'll never let go.”

It's been 25 years since James Cameron dazzled the world with his gripping, historical disaster romance drama, but it's perpetually annoying that people forget TITANIC is a teen girl story. We're revisiting the film by focusing on the one aspect of the film that hasn't been analyzed to death yet -- the teenage power of Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater. Alexa, play "My Heart Will Go On."

"Man, he's like tripendicular, ya know?"

Ohmigod like, gag us with a spoon! VALLEY GIRL is turning 40?! We're going back in time to celebrate one of the teen girl movies that completely changed an entire culture, permanently altered the way people speak, and gave us a heartthrob leading man out of Nicolas Cage. We're totally dying over this movie and hope you enjoy this celebration of a classic retelling of Romeo & Juliet.
