Say Anything... (1989) w/ Alex Steed

About this episode

The episode discusses the film 'Say Anything...' with guest Alex Steed, exploring its impact on teenage romance and pop culture.

"I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen." Cameron Crowe's directorial debut is a film solidified in pop culture history thanks to the singular image of John Cusack holding a boom box above his head, but SAY ANYTHING... has a lot more than a Peter Gabriel song to say. This week, The Wives Colangelo are joined by the incomparable Alex Steed to talk about one of the greatest teenage romance flicks ever made, and allow ourselves to believe in love. -------- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom -------- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT The Springfield Unity Fund: https://givebutter.com/SpringfieldUnityFund -------- Follow our guest! @AlexSteed @YouAreGood -------- Social Media Plugs @ThisEndsAtProm @BJColangelo @HarmonyColangelo ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
