The episode discusses the film 'Uptown Girls' and its impact on fans and culture.

"Act your age, not your shoe size." As chosen by the Patreon supporters, The Wives Colangelo are learning how to grow up, have fun, and process trauma by spinning around in teacups until they puke with UPTOWN GIRLS. Critics didn't understand this film at the time, but legions of fans have turned it into a beloved classic. It's time to give Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning their well-earned flowers. -------- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom -------- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT America's ToothFairy: https://www.americastoothfairy.org/ -------- Social Media Plugs @ThisEndsAtProm @BJColangelo @HarmonyColangelo ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
