13 Going on 30 (2004)

Author: Pod People Productions June 3, 2021 Duration: 1:25:49

“I think all of us want to feel something that we've forgotten or turned our backs on because maybe we didn't realize how much we were leaving behind. We need to remember what used to be good. If we don't, we won't recognize it even if it hits us between the eyes.”

Harmony is turning thirty, flirty, and thriving, so there was no way BJ was going to pass up the opportunity to watch the Jennifer Garner classic, 13 GOING ON 30. BJ dives deep into the psychology of teenage girls, Harmony makes a compelling argument for a transgender read of Jenna's transformation, and both debate whether or not Mark Ruffalo was meant to be a romantic leading man.

Every week, This Ends at Prom digs into a single film to explore how stories about teenage girls shape our understanding of womanhood itself. Hosts BJ and Harmony Colangelo, a married couple, bring their distinct queer and feminist perspectives-one cisgender, one transgender-to these conversations, creating a unique and essential dialogue. They’re less interested in simple nostalgia and more focused on the lasting cultural impact of these movies, asking what they truly say about power, identity, and survival. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis that celebrates the genre while also critically examining its flaws and hidden depths. This isn't just a film review show; it's a deep dive into the artifacts of our youth and how they continue to define us. Produced by Pod People Productions, the podcast finds profound resonance in the hallways, bedrooms, and climactic prom scenes of cinema, revealing why these specific stories stick with us long after the credits roll. Each episode feels like a compelling chat between friends who are unafraid to challenge each other and the material, making for listening that is as insightful as it is engaging. Tune in for a fresh take on the films you thought you knew.
