Did you know that @nikostratis.com and I are hosting a recap show about The OC? It's called The OC, Again. Just to recap, it's a recap show about The OC. The first episode just came out.

If you can help, please do. Pretty monstrous stuff here. Arrested at her scheduled green card meeting after having gotten married. We are in Hell. www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

NEW EP: WHAT A GIRL WANTS (2003) Let's talk about why post-9/11 teen movies were obsessed with Europe, Colin Firth in leather pants, and why the statement "straight kids don't have to come out" is untrue when we're talking about the prison of wealth. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Here is your reminder that tomorrow's episode is all about WHAT A GIRL WANTS. Have a great evening, and we'll see you in the A.M.!

It’s show announcement Sunday! This week we’re hopping across the pond to hang out with our rich British dad with WHAT A GIRL WANTS! Episode drops on Thursday 💚

Here's your reminder that tomorrow we're celebrating 30 years of Clueless by revisiting the first title we ever covered on This Ends at Prom (exactly 5 years ago today), CLUELESS! Get those rewatches in now!

The most popular Netflix film of all time is an animated musical about a trio of K-pop Idols? Once again proving that the entertainment industry completely underestimates the power of teen girl audiences? PERHAPS WE SHOULD DO AN EPISODE ON IT???

Looking for some more John Travolta appreciation before our next episode on SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER drops? Head over to our free archive where this week back in 2022 we talked about 1978's GREASE with the @thisendsatprom.bsky.social duo! GREASE vs. SATURDAY NIGHT Fever...who wins? #tcmparty

Cash covered "Teenage Dirtbag" for us five years ago for the intro to our Sadie Hawkins Dance episodes on Patreon. We're so, so proud of how much he's grown and that people can hear his original work.

If only we could all start a music rebellion with the girl we fell in love with in the psych ward like in TIMES SQUARE*. *sans the one song...

This is the exact kind of thing we love to hear. THE GUEST is a stone-cold classic in the making and we will continue to preach its good gospel.

It's our 5-year (!) anniversary week! Has there been a movie you discovered because of the podcast that you now love? Tell us about it!!

Five years ago today, we sat in our bedroom and recorded our very first episode of This Ends at Prom. To honor this milestone and celebrate the film's 30th anniversary, we're revisiting the classic that made it all possible. WE'RE COMING FULL CIRCLE WITH CLUELESS. Episode drops on Thursday!

NEW EP: FREAKIER FRIDAY Is FREAKIER FRIDAY a worthy follow-up or another cheap bid for nostalgia? Is the promise of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan getting to be partners in crime enough to look past the plot conveniences? Let's get into it! Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

A beautiful, heartbreaking read. We love you, Sonia. We'll love you forever, Margo.

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Episode 99 is here and it’s something special. So thrilled to be joined by @bjcolangelo.bsky.social to talk about SPONTANEOUS. This film packs a wallop of a punch to the feels and BJ and I shared some feels and how this resonates with us in different, but similar, ways.

Did we love it? Hate it? Where does in rank in the franchise for us? We’re getting into it with FREAKIER FRIDAY on Thursday!

We can't imagine a better addition to The Criterion Collection. www.criterion.com/films/29272-...

This week on the show we’re finally able to talk about a NEW movie! We’re swapping bodies and making good choices with FREAKIER FRIDAY! Episode drops on Thursday!

NEW EP: NOW & THEN (1995) In honor of the film's 30th anniversary, let's talk about the sapphic energy of Sam and Roberta, the chokehold Devon Sawa had on a generation, and why male critics comparing the film to STAND BY ME is lazy film criticism. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Don’t forget, tomorrow we’re talking about NOW & THEN, and we will absolutely be discussing the chokehold Devon Sawa had on a generation of young people.

A gr8, unfortunately still very relevant quote from Desiree Akhavan, who I interviewed about the woefully underseen THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST on this day in 2k18. blog.blcklst.com/the-black-li...

It’s show announcement Sunday! This week, we’re going back to the past and even further by tackling the coming-of-age cult classic, NOW AND THEN! Episode drops on Thursday.

Thank you to all 300 people who sent me this clip across social media. The cult of GREASE 2 remains strong as ever.

NEW EP: Heaven Help Us (Re-Release) To celebrate the life of Margo Donohue, we're re-releasing our episode with this incredible woman. If you've never seen the movie or embraced Margo's work, may we be your first step. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Reminder: this week is a re-release of our episode on Heaven Help Us with Margo Donohue in honor of her memory. If you’re unfamiliar with her work, here’s just a small taste of her talents.

To celebrate her life and pay respects to the memory and legacy of Margo Donohue, this week we will be re-releasing our episode with her on HEAVEN HELP US. If you missed it the first time around, this is a great chance to watch a wonderful movie and get to know a brilliant person a little better.

This is a perfect example of why we need sustainable independent creators who aren't simply algorithm gaming. This is the kind of movie that never would've crossed my radar out in the current Land of Soulless Programming Aimed at White Guys. Curation by thoughtful humans matters more than ever.

NEW EP: LIGHT OF DAY (1987) Director: Paul Schrader. Music: Bruce Springsteen. Starring: Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox. An odd slice of life story in the Rust Belt that might be more interesting to talk about than it is to watch. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Here’s your reminder that tomorrow we’re talking about LIGHT OF DAY. Get those rewatches in and prepare yourself for a chat about dysfunctional families in the Midwest.

Did you know there’s a Cleveland-set movie where Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett play siblings and their mom is Gena Rowlands, featuring music by Bruce Springsteen?? Well, now you do. Because this week we’re talking about LIGHT OF DAY. Episode drops on Thursday!

NEW EP: DUMPLIN' (2018) Let's learn from drag queens about glamour, discuss the insecurities our moms imprint on us, why seeking external validation while existing in a marginalized body doesn't make you a bad person, and sing the praises of Dolly Parton! Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
