The Wizard of Oz (85th Anniversary)

The Wizard of Oz (85th Anniversary)

Author: Pod People Productions November 21, 2024 Duration: 1:28:40
"If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?" With the premiere of WICKED just days away, The Wives Colangelo are going back 85 years to discuss arguably the most-watched film in history, and one that happens to also be a teen girl movie — The Wizard of Oz. A film that has been analyzed for decades, This Ends at Prom is focusing on Dorothy's journey into a technicolor world of escapism, recognizing the parallels between Dorothy Gale and Judy Garland's bleak coming-of-age experiences, and losing it over the Scarecrow's weapon of choice. Surrender Dorothy!

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.
