Gidget (65th Anniversary)

from This Ends at Prom Hosted by Brennan Klein

"I'm no dame!" 65 years ago, a blonde small fry played by Sandra Dee picked up a surf board, showed the boys at the beach what she was made of, and completely changed the world. No, really. In honor of the anniversary of the teen beach movie that started it all, GIDGET, The Wives Colangelo are diving in deep and discussing the groundbreaking source material, how a teenage girl is responsible for popularizing surfing in the continental United States, and look at how unintentionally gay this movie is and has always been. ---- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---- Article Referenced Gidget: The Story of Hollywood's First Surfing Star (https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/gidget-the-story-of-hollywoods-first-surfing-star) Just a Doll in Dungarees: Revisiting Gidget (https://the-toast.net/2014/07/16/just-doll-dungarees-revisiting-gidget/) ---- Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtProm BJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangelo Harmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
