"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.

"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.

"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.

"I feel like our lives changed because they had to."

As chosen by our Patreon supporters, The Wives Colangelo are kicking off April with a story of summer, sisterhood, and magical pants. Let's talk about four different stories about coming-of-age, the blessing of well-rounded characters, and maybe cry a little bit about the stories that hit a little close to home. Together and apart!

"That's funny, I've never heard of George Glass at our sküle."

Didn't The Wives Colangelo JUST cover The Brady Bunch Movie? And they're already doing A Very Brady Sequel? YEAH, SO WHAT? WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?! After catching Brady Fever, This Ends at Prom is jumping from the Jan Brady movie to the one about Greg and Marcia wanting to kiss each other. It's wild, it's raucous, and American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith is back to gush all about it.

"We all do things we're not proud of to survive."

Sequel Month is getting the prequel treatment as The Wives Colangelo return to Panem for THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. This week's episode might be a bit of a heavier one, considering, well, everything, but to fight fascism, you have to know how it operates. Fortunately, the dystopian prequel does a pretty bang-up job at showcasing how leaders like Coriolanus Snow come to power, why you should never trust state-controlled media, and how the seeds of resistance take so long to come to harvest. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds, as always, be ever in your favor.

"I have always valued my lifelessness."

We love a sequel that goes completely bugnuts off the rails compared to its original, and RETURN TO OZ has enough kindertrauma to do the trick. Somehow, Harmony missed this classic twisted fantasy that altered the brain chemistry of multiple generations, but sequel month is taking The Wives Colangelo back down what WAS the yellow brick road with a sassy chicken, dismembered heads, and electroshock therapy on minors. BEWARE THE WHEELERS!!!

"I don't need friends. I need fans."

Sequel month 2026 is kicking off with a title chosen by the Patreon supporters, SCREAM 4. This week, The Wives Colangelo are heading back to Woodsboro to dissect the second generation of Ghostface victims and speculate why so many people despise this entry (despite it being Harmony's favorite). It's gonna be a scream, baby!
