"Well, the idea that there was any control to begin with is a f*cking illusion. There's only one thing in the universe we have even the tiniest bit of control over -- ourselves." Y'all wanna hear an episode about independent filmmaking and telling passionate stories? In a special spooky season treat, The Wives Colangelo are joined by director Clare Cooney to talk about her latest feature film, the queer supernatural high school slasher, DEPARTING SENIORS. Together the trio discuss the horror movies that inspired the picture, the evolution of the "final girl," and what it was like to work with Yani "Paolo Valisari in the Lizzie McGuire Movie" Gellman after years of acting in horror movies.  Check out DEPARTING SENIORS now on Tubi TV or on VOD.  ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Follow our guest @clarecooneyofficial ---- 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.
