"I am gonna do what I wanna do! And you know what? I don't need your permission to do it!"

What if your grandparents magically turned back into teenagers, and they were so hot that it caused chaos in your high school? And what if you look exactly like your grandma did at your age, so this magical regression inspires some twin magic hijinks? This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by Aaron Perine of Free Space to talk about the only movie to feature all three Mowry siblings, SEVENTEEN AGAIN. Let's talk about the Tia/Tamera/Tahj trifecta, the lack of "fun" coming-of-age movies with Black protagonists, and outline all of the moments that explain why this movie was made by Showtime and not the Disney Channel.

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.
