Easy A (2010) w/ Brennan Klein

Author: Pod People Productions December 3, 2020 Duration: 1:36:35

"I told everyone! Well, actually I told one person, but you know how these things work. It’s like wildfire."

You asked for it, and we're delivering, it's time to jump back into 2010 to discuss EASY A with special guest, Brennan Klein (producer of this very show!)

This week BJ tells the story about her Christian ex's soon to be wife calling her a decade later, Brennan confesses he aspires to be a parent like Stanley Tucci's Dill Penderghast, Harmony admits that Olive is exactly the type of cool woman she wants to be when she grows up, and the trio finally determine the difference between teen girl movie hallway walks and stairway reveals.

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.
