This Ends at Prom

"How can we repair all the damage we inherited?"
Reality Bites defined the coming-of-age experience for Gen-X post-grads in the 1990s and remains a beloved, seminal classic to this day. So, how does it hold up for Millennials in 2026? The Wives Colangelo are bursting with fruit flavor, dissecting hopes, dreams, Gen X cynicism, and the struggle to find personal meaning amid societal expectations.

"We are not fictional! We're just discreet!"
One of the all-time great millennial sleepover movies turns 20 this year, so The Wives Colangelo are getting ready for the Last Splash with AQUAMARINE. An adorable coming-of-age classic that had a generation wishing they could wear starfish as earrings, let's talk about why falling in love in less than a week is a bad aspiration for any young girl, and what it means when your soul mate is your best friend.

"This isn't the Midnight Realm, Maddy. It's just the suburbs."
After two years of begging, The Wives Colangelo (mostly Harmony) are finally discussing I SAW THE TV GLOW. While the movie is responsible for countless individuals recognizing the truth about themselves (yay!), the culture that surrounds the film has felt very isolating for trans people who came out long before we even had the word "egg" to describe "egg cinema." This is a deeply personal episode, and we hope you can have an open mind about it.
