"Whatever you do... don't fall asleep." A Nightmare on Elm Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, so The Wives Colangelo are joined by guests Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble of The Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about the slasher greatness of Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, why practical effects will always reign supreme, and why Heather Langenkamp's Nancy Thompson is the ultimate final girl. We're pretending palm trees exist in Ohio, remembering a time when Johnny Depp was someone worth pining, and paying our respects to teen horror maestro, the late, great Wes Craven. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow our guests Julia Marchese: @JuliaCMarchese Teri Gamble: @TheTeriGamble Listen to their podcast, The Horror Movie Survival Guide! https://horrormoviesurvivalguidepodcast.com/ ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor

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.
