Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone: "You're on my list, maggot!" Kelly Collins: "You'd be on mine if I had one!"

Some folks celebrate the 4th of July in the States as Independence Day, but here at This Ends at Prom we're honoring the queer tension of the military school propaganda disguised as a Disney Channel Original Movie, CADET KELLY. We've got Lizzie McGuire and Kim Possible doing aggressive drill team dance-offs and Gary Cole demanding to be called "Sir." This is a shorter episode so you can get back to eating food off the grill, blowing off fireworks, and plotting how to overthrow this ridiculously corrupt government before November. AT EASE, MAGGOTS!!

"Come on, it's not every day that your best friend grows a penis."

It's been a while since The Wives Colangelo tackled a body-swap movie, so they're throwing good taste out the window and giving THE HOT CHICK a fair shake. Everyone remembers all of the problematic elements, but do you remember all of the heart? It's a complicated movie starring a super close-minded jerk, but for a movie trying to profit off of shock value, there's a shocking amount of pro-teen girl goodness in this odd time capsule.

"What's her problem anyway? She don't eat, she don't talk, she don't do anything!"

You didn't think The Wives Colangelo were going to write and and release a book about SLEEPAWAY CAMP and not do an episode on it, did you? Years in the making, This Ends at Prom finally tackles one of the most important and impactful films for both of the hosts, give a sneak peek at some of the conversations that can be found in their book, and discuss why this low-budget slasher still has merit after all these years. Meet us at the waterfront after the social, hide your curling irons, and hike up those shorts, because we're heading to Camp Arawak!

"Ever since I was a child, people said my family was cursed. Mom tried to protect us with God. Dad tried to protect us with wrestling."

It's Harmony's birthday so The Wives Colangelo are honoring her teen girl experience by talking about one of the most important things to her coming-of-age: professional wrestling. And there's no better way to dissect growing up in a masculine space and the crushing pressure of the patriarchy than to talk about Sean Durkin's phenomenal film, THE IRON CLAW. Joining the team is returning guest and dear friend Alex Steed, who is tagging in to tackle the beautiful, heartbreaking, and complicated world of manhood.

"Poets, geniuses, revolutionaries. Lemonade Mouth has been called all of these things. But the real story, the story of our band came to be, is a mystery to them all."

May-usical Month comes to a close with an all-time great Disney Channel Original Movie and arguably the best made-for-TV teen movie about a fake band, ever, LEMONADE MOUTH! This week the Wives Colangelo are joined by returning guest Michael Varrati to talk about DCOMs as baby's first cult films, why this movie transcends its target audience, and we say a prayer to Lesbian Jesus.

"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.

“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.

“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.

“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...
