This Ends at Prom

Latest Episodes:

The Fault in Our Stars (2014) Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

"Okay? Okay."

In a Very Special™ Valentine's Day episode of the podcast, the wives are doing a deep dive on everyone's favorite cancer romance story NOT by Nicholas Sparks, 2014's THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. This episode gets a little heavy, tackling both the offensive dismissal of the severity of the Holocaust and Anne Frank, and the romanticization of terminal illness.

It's the episode where BJ cries!

The House Bunny (2008) w/ Cassie Trainer Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

“Well, she is not a Zeta because she's our new hizzity house mother. She'll be hizzy-tizzy - - She'll be here all the time."

The wives had a wedding cancelled by COVID so instead of getting a maid of honor speech, they've got a maid of honor GUEST. Joining BJ & Harmony is vintage dealer and Midwest fashion icon, Cassie Trainer.

BJ worships at the altar of writers Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah, Harmony talks about her endless crush on Kat Dennings, and Cassie dives deep in the continued value of Playboy in the vintage market.

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

“We each need to find our own inspiration, Kiki. Sometimes it’s not easy.”

It's our first animated film! The wives are moving out of Ohio and heading to start life anew in California, so it was only right to talk about another gal moving to a new city--Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service.

BJ discusses her mixed feelings about moving into already settled places, Harmony tells a beautiful story about Mama Jo, her very own real-life "Osono," and the two get real about their fears and excitement about moving away.

Ice Princess (2005) Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

"What is so horrible about that? About feeling strong and graceful and beautiful for once in my life?"

We're enduring the ice cold midwest winter by hitting the ice and talking about the surprisingly feminist and wholly underrated ICE PRINCESS (2005).

BJ relives her years as a competitive baton twirler feeling seen by Kim Cattrall's scary coach persona, Harmony confesses a secret childhood fascination with ballet dancers, and both decide that Joan Cusack is a national treasure and Hayden Panettiere's "Gen" is absolutely queer.

The Prom (2020) Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

"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.

Juno (2007) Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

"I need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever."

We're closing out 2020 by talking about one of the wives favorite movies of all time, and one that feels more relevant now than ever, JUNO (2007).

Harmony finally agrees that she's the Paulie Bleeker to BJ's Juno, Mac MacGuff is praised for being the perfect teen girl movie dad that he is, and the wives dive into the film's surprisingly progressive gender themes surrounding pregnancy.

Show notes

"I’m tired of hiding. I’m tired of running!"

In a very special Christmas episode, the wives are discussing the highly controversial remake BLACK CHRISTMAS (2019) with the two women behind the film, April Wolfe and Sophia Takal.

BJ and Harmony firmly stake their flag on planet "DIe Mad About It" to those that dislike this movie, Sophia and April talk about the massive backlash upon the film's release, and all of them discuss what it's like dealing with everyday misogyny.

To Grandmother's House We Go (1992) Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

"Okay, well, you kids may as well learn this now. Grownups will say anything to get kids to cooperate."

Before we dare tackle the inevitable legacy of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we're starting at the very beginning with TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE WE GO, the made-for-TV Christmas movie that showed the world FULL HOUSE's Michelle Tanner was actually two children.

BJ tells the story that got her bullied off of TikTok about trapping her little sister under a Christmas tree for four hours, Harmony's analysis of the runaway horse carriage scene gives BJ an asthma attack, and both dig up some really weird childhood memories that somehow relate to this weird movie starring five-year-olds.

Freaky (2020) w/ Michael Kennedy Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

"And guess what, I need a friend right now. And it’s like, you guys are smashing the s**t out of me."

Fresh on the heels of it's VOD release, we're talking about body swapping teen girl horror in FREAKY, with the film's co-writer, Michael Kennedy!

This week BJ gets really sentimental about FREAKY's highly-discussed "car scene," Harmony explains why body-swap movies are NOT inherently transphobic, and Michael talks about making Josh the queer representation he wished he had in high school. Who knew a gory-as-hell movie about a teen girl swapping bodies with a mass murderer would be so touching?

This week BJ tells the story about her Christian ex's soon to be wife calling her a decade later, Brennan confesses he aspires to be a parent like Stanley Tucci's Dill Penderghast, Harmony admits that Olive is exactly the type of cool woman she wants to be when she grows up, and the trio finally determine the difference between teen girl movie hallway walks and stairway reveals.
