Author: Pod People Productions February 13, 2025 Duration: 1:34:33

"Just because something is beautiful doesn´t mean it’s good."

Love is in the air and there's nothing more romantic than a Beauty and the Beast teen movie interpretation where a heartthrob boy gets turned into a bald and tattooed baddie to learn how to stop being such a jerkwad. That's right, The Wives Colangelo are embracing their inner Vanessa Hudgens, eating a box of jujyfruits, wearing smokey eye makeup with a flesh-toned lip, and talking about the most romantic subject of all ... body dysphoria and the politics of beauty!

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.
