    "People aren't always what they appear to be. Don't forget that."

    Denise Richards. Neve Campbell. Matt Dillon. Kevin Bacon. Daphne Rubin-Vega. Theresa Russell. and... Bill Murray in a neck brace. Somehow, by some cruel trick of the universe, Harmony Colangelo had not seen WILD THINGS until now. This week, it all changes. Join The Wives Colangelo and take a walk on the wild side with the steamiest crime thriller of teenage temptation. There's no going back now. Everyone's lives will be forever changed.

  • Fighting with My Family (2019)
    Apr 16 2026

    "I am a freak from Norwich, England! And I have dreamt of this since I was 13 years old! And it's not just mine. It belongs to my family!"

    We're taking you all on the road to WrestleMania, whether you like it or not! The story of Saraya "Paige" Knight is one of wrestling's most fascinating, and the biopic about her rise through WWE is historic for a reason. Let's talk about being a woman wrestling fan, what it means to be a teenage girl in a male-dominated industry, and what it means to be an alt girl in an industry that wants you to be a specific "type" of woman.

  • Amélie (2001) w/ Liz Gotauco
    Apr 9 2026

    "You mean she would rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her?"

    If you were a quirky film girlie in the 2000s, chances are, you resonated very deeply with a young French woman named Amélie. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by the brilliant Liz Gotauco to discuss the aestheticization of twentysomethings' coming of age, fixating on fixing other people's problems to ignore your own, and falling in love through photobooth slides.
