"We have come to show this community that gay people, and gay positive icons such as myself, are made of the same flesh and blood as they are."

Happy New Year, Prom Party! This week the wives are covering what should have been the most on-brand movie possible for this show, the Broadway hit turned Netflix Original THE PROM (2020).

Harmony confesses she doesn't follow the career of Ryan Murphy, BJ puts on her musical theatre snob glasses, both have some pretty strong feelings about James Corden playing a gay character, and the two discuss whether or not a film we have mixed feelings about can still be groundbreaking, important, or impactful.

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.
