Carrie (1976) w/ Jazz and Kat of Girl That's Scary Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

“We'll pray. We'll pray. We'll pray for the last time. We'll pray.”

The Wives Colangelo are saying goodbye to sp0o0oky season 2023 by tackling the grandmother of all teen girl horror movies, Brian De Palma and Stephen King's CARRIE. Joining your hosts are two of the most brilliant minds assessing horror today, Jazz and Kat of Girl That's Scary on the Dread Central podcast network. Together the four discuss high school bullying, the differences between the book and the movie, and confess whether or not we've tried to see if we have telekinesis to use against our haters.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Piper Laurie, who sadly passed away after recording.

“We don’t go anywhere with ‘scary’, ‘spooky’, ‘haunted’, or ‘forbidden’ in the title.”

Joining the pair is Scooby Scholar Valerie Ettenhofer, and together the group discusses the perfection of teen idol casting, the cultural relevance of Mysteries Incorporated, and the importance of Scooby as a gateway to horror.

The Exorcist (1973) - 50th Anniversary Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

“Mrs. MacNeil, the problem with your daughter is not her bed; it's her brain.”

50 years ago, William Friedkin delivered what is considered by many to be the scariest movie ever made ... and it's the story of a 12-year-old girl. In honor of it's monumental anniversary, The Wives Colangelo are opening sp0o0oky season with THE EXORCIST. Rather than focus on the priests or what the film has to say about the crisis of faith, this is an episode centering on Chris and Regan MacNeil, and what THE EXORCIST reflected about second-wave feminism.

156: American Graffiti (50th Anniversary) w/ Bradford Oman Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

“You're the most beautiful, exciting thing I've ever seen in my life and I don't know anything about you.”

50 years ago, George Lucas tried his hand at telling a nostalgic story inspired by his own teenage years and revolutionized the coming-of-age film forever. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by Bradford Oman (aka Ethan Anderton) to honor the half-of-a-century anniversary of AMERICAN GRAFFITI. They're talking about fast cars, boys trying to make sense of the world, what it feels like to say goodbye to your hometown, and the freedom of driving all night and looking for trouble.

This episode is part of our TEEN MOVIE HELL series honoring the memory of Mike "McBeardo" McPadden.

Perfect Blue (1997) Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

“Sensei, I’m scared that my other self will do something that I don’t know about…”

One of the greatest animated films ever crafted, Satoshi Kon's PERFECT BLUE is a terrifying coming-of-age story of obsession, stolen identity, and the way the public at large feels entitled to consume the idea of young starlets. In discussing arguably the scariest movie ever covered on the podcast, The Wives Colangelo reflect on what it means to be a public figure, praise animated films not geared toward young audiences, and sing the praises of a genuinely perfect film.

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

“That’s why we fought the Nazis? So you could have a mojito bar?!”

The Wives Colangelo are heading back to middle school and becoming young women, Sandler family-style, with YOU ARE SO NOT INVITED TO MY BAT MITZVAH. Together the Wives talk about the benefits of watching coming-of-age stories about different cultures than your own, cry about the fact they're now old enough to see Adam Sandler in dad mode, and talk about how important it is to see a film depict the hardest relationship moment of a young girl's life -- fighting with your best friend.
