"She broke the cardinal rule: Don't f*ck with people that handle your food."

It's Harmony's birthday, so The Wives Colangelo are breaking the rules and talking about a coming-of-age film that wasn't marketed toward teen girls, but certainly resonated with anyone, regardless of gender, who came of age while working in the service industry. It's time to discuss the value of chain restaurants, the found family of coworkers, and the genius of Alanna Ubach. ORDER UP!

"I didn't want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special."

MAY-usical Month 2026 is coming to an end with a movie chosen by our Patreon supporters, ANNIE (1982). This week, The Wives Colangelo are dissecting everyone's favorite red-headed orphan, dissecting the weirdest politics ever to be found in a movie this catchy, and trying to figure out if Miss Hannigan and Rooster are ... special siblings. It's a hard knock life, so let's sing about it!

"There are five basic types in every successful boy band."

It's BJ Colangelo's birthday episode, and this year she's celebrating by losing her mind about her favorite not-real, real boy band, MTV's 2GE+HER. The Wives Colangelo are breaking down boy band archetypes, talking about what makes satire work, mourning Michael Cuccione, and learning their calculus (it says U + ME = US).
