The Guest (10th Anniversary)

"Never let anyone pick on you. Otherwise, you'll carry it with you the rest of your life." 10 years ago, Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, Dan Stevens, and Maika Monroe joined forces to make one of the best indie action thrillers set on Halloween, THE GUEST. This is the movie that introduced genre fans to Dan Stevens and proved that Wingard and Barrett could do more than just horror. A decade later, The Wives Colangelo are here to discuss why the film makes for a perfect Halloween watch, and why more people need to listen to 20-year-old girls when they think the vibes are off about a handsome man! ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Interview Referenced The Dissolve: "Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, and Dan Stevens on The Guest, and its place in their big plan" https://thedissolve.com/features/interview/760-adam-wingard-simon-barrett-and-dan-stevens-on-the-/ ---- 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.
