We're back with another animated feature, 1994's THE SWAN PRINCESS. BJ spends the entire episode trying to convince Harmony this is an important movie, Harmony hops on her anti-House of Mouse soapbox, and both say "Derek" like THE GOOD PLACE way too many times. (Sorry!)

Knives and Skin (2019) Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

"I need to know there's a way out of this place."

By popular request, The Wives are back with a horror movie, and one that went unfortunately underseen, 2019's KNIVES AND SKIN. BJ talks about de-stigmatizing risky behavior among teen girls figuring themselves out, Harmony talks about the disconnect between parents and teens making sense of our constantly traumatic world, and both pay respects to adventurous and subversive filmmaking.

It's a Boy Girl Thing (2006) Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

"I'm a loser, I'm trouble and I'm stupid. It's basic genetics. Can't help it."

We're back with another body swap film, this time the giant ball of cringe better known as IT'S A BOY GIRL THING. Join as Harmony explains why the U.S. Military no longer sends her recruitment calls, BJ uncovers a conspiracy theory surrounding this film, and both debate why a movie that has such potential to be queer positive is instead so aggressively heteronormative.

Promising Young Woman (2020) Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

"I guess you just had to think about it the right way."

Sometimes the world of womanhood is not a fun, bright, poppy, or safe place. This week, the wives dive into one of the most polarizing films in recent memory, and discuss some really difficult topics presented in the film and their own lives. Trigger Warning.

Show notes

"Things sure have changed since we got kicked outta high school."

Hey everyone, we're This Ends at Prom and this is 'Rock 'N Roll High School!" This episode is a celebration in punk rock, challenging the system, and the absolute icon Riff Randell.

Pretty In Pink (1986) - 35th Anniversary Special Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

"I just want them to know that they didn't break me."

In honor of the 35th anniversary of the third in the John Hughes/Molly Ringwald trilogy, we're celebrating Andie Walsh and discussing all things 'Pretty in Pink.' BJ questionably defends the lovable albeit ignorant goof in Andrew McCarthy's "Blane," Harmony is ready to join the religion of Annie Potts' "Iona," and both have the conflicting conversation of just what we're supposed to do with Jon Cryer's "Duckie."

Take the Lead (2006) w/ Bryce Evan Lewis Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

"To do something, anything, is hard. It's much easier to blame your father, your mother, the environment, the government, the lack of money, but even if you find a place to assign the blame,it doesn't make the problems go away."

Kick on your dancing shoes and get ready to tango into some social emotional education, we're ending February with the criminally underappreciated TAKE THE LEAD with special guest, Bryce Evan Lewis. Harmony laments her own school's social upbringing in rural Ohio, BJ gets on her soapbox about the American education system, Bryce helps break down the lack of Black storytelling in teen cinema, and everyone loves Antonio Banderas.
