What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love movie podcasts - they’re all I can really binge since the election. This one has covered movies I’ve seen covered by other pods, but I love to get BJ and Harmonys viewpoints. Harmony has such a fresh look at these because she’s seeing most of them as an adult. BJ grew up in the north Chicagoland area that I sort of did, but I went to one of the really annoying rich (out of touch) high schools that John Hughes covers in his films. It’s so affirming to hear the perspective of someone who grew up in a much more “normal” area than I did, but still knows all my cultural touchstones (a la the cubs and old style…). What a breath of fresh air to hear these women cover movies I know and love

Thank you for the Sucker Punch episode! I have had complicated feelings about that movie for YEARS, and your thoughtful conversation helped me sort through the tangled web of why I enjoy so much of it and why so much of it is also icky. Great job, Wives Colangelo <3

Love the wives, and relate to them so much as someone who also grew up queer in the Midwest in the 2000s. Being a teen girl is hard, and I appreciate the comedy and empathy they bring to the show. Excited to listen to the back catalog and see what they do next!

Molly Richmer · Jan 2025

i love these wives so much. their soothing voices are in perfect contrast to their sharp and cutting takes. i binge the back catalogue episodes whenever i need to be around good people. thanks for giving voice to the teen girl experience! 💚💙
