"No, David. Nobody's happy in a poodle skirt and sweater set." This week The Wives are jumping back to the supposed good ol' days and taking a trip to PLEASANTVILLE. Together they discuss how this is a teen girl movie hidden beneath a teen boy protagonist, Harmony talks about "mental hygiene films" aka teen behavioral propaganda, BJ talks about the complications of telling this story with an all-white cast, and both pay homage to Paul Walker as an underappreciated himbo. ---------- Article Mentioned: ‘Pleasantville’ Was Only Pleasant Because of Its Erasure of POC: https://www.vice.com/en/article/wj93x4/pleasantville-20-year-anniversary-cold-take ---------- Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ---------- 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/
