Save the Last Dance (25th Anniversary)
About this episode
The episode discusses the 25th anniversary of 'Save the Last Dance', exploring its cultural impact and the complexities of its messaging.
"We spend more time defending our relationship than actually having one." As chosen by the Patreon Prom Party, this month The Wives Colangelo are stepping up, turning out, and tackling SAVE THE LAST DANCE. A movie remembered more for its memes than its messaging, it's time to have an uncomfortable conversation about a movie everyone seems to remember loving but might not feel the same way upon a rewatch 25 years later. -------- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom -------- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT The JED Foundation: https://www.jedfoundation.org -------- Article Mentioned “SAVE THE LAST DANCE” IS LOWKEY WEIRD TO WATCH 25 YEARS LATER: https://www.blackasf.com/post/save-the-last-dance-is-lowkey-weird-to-watch-25-years-later -------- Social Media Plugs @ThisEndsAtProm @BJColangelo @HarmonyColangelo ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
