The Ultimate Christmas Present & Santa Traditions

3/8/2021
The Disney Channel closed out the year with a middling movie about weather and Santa. We were underwhelmed by the movie but very impressed with Ceri's plot guess.

Phantom of the Megaplex & Movie Memories (& a spreadsheet)

2/22/2021
This movie has glimmers of Ceri's Scooby Doo dreams, but did it live up to the story she predicted for us? It did give us a chance to get real meta about our Disney Channel Original Movie rankings & get nostalgic about when we could go to movie theaters. (Remember movie theaters???)

Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire & Other Vampires

We watched Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire and the most important revelation was HOW CLOSE CERI'S GUESS WAS. Bailey's Kids books for the win.

The Other Me & Staying At Home (yes, really)

1/11/2021
Back in October we watched another DCOM and it turned out to be a Lawrence brother movie – and remarkably close to Ceri's guess from the previous episode. (I know that was 392 days of March ago, but trust me.) What none of us anticipated: our protagonist spends about a third of the movie forced to stay inside his room, which starts out fun and then becomes terrible. We are not making this up, this is what actually happened. Anyway, this episode is a real journey and topics include: this movie's many unanswered ethical questions, making friends through the power of dance, the early 2000's soap opera Passions, and a lot of other stuff.

Quints & Personal Art Histories

10/8/2020
Quints is a movie in which a family has five babies and that's pretty much the whole plot. In this episode we decide whether we liked it anyway, discussed metro riding biker gangs, lamented the neglect of poor Brad, and tried to figure out where this movie even takes place.

Ready to Run & Family Traditions

7/28/2020
Hello! It has been a while! We recorded this episode back in mid-May and never uploaded it due initially to not wanting to take up space during the initial wave of protests for Black lives and against police violence and then kept delaying it because life. But here it is! This moment of joy we all had talking to our friends about whether or not we were horse girls and what great family traditions we are upholding and abandoning. Also, as usual someone surprised themselves with the number of feelings they had about this movie.

Stepsister From Planet Weird & DCOM Tropes

This movie features a grab bag of DCOM tropes, from enemies-to-friends to parents-not-believing-the-main-character, alongside another bizarre sport and some aliens.

Miracle In Lane 2 & Sibling Rivalries

4/21/2020
This movie wasn't *quite* what Ceri guessed, but to her credit, she was a little closer than usual. This week we're talking about what Miracle in Lane 2 was actually about, whether or not it made us cry, and some of our other favorite sibling rivalries.

Alley Cats Strike & Weird Hobbies

Sadly this movie was not about a rival gang of dumpster diving teens, but instead is about some kids who love to bowl and a cross-town rivalry. This week we're talking all about Alley Cats Strike, and our own unique hobbies.

The Color of Friendship & Media That Taught Us Something

In a fortunate coincidence, we are uploading this week's episode the same week as its film's 20th anniversary! The Color of Friendship is inspired by a true story and is the first DCOM to win an Emmy. Find out whether the film holds up and whether it gave us all the feelings.

Up, Up, and Away! & Superheroes

1/13/2020
True to Ceri's second guess, Up, Up, and Away! is indeed a movie about a boy with a superhero family learning how to save the day as a regular boy. This week we're talking about this charming family of superheroes and some of our other favorite superhero stories as well.

Horse Sense & MONTANA!

1/1/2020
It's the final DCOM of the 90s, our final episode of 2019, AND the first DCOM with the Lawrence Brothers. This week we chat about Horse Sense, which takes place in Montana, where 3/4 of us happen to live, so we decided to take this opportunity to end the year by talking about our first impressions of this state.

Don't Look Under The Bed & Tropes We Hate

12/16/2019
Only 1/4 of us remembers this film about imaginary friends and bogeymen, but we had a lot of feelings about the experience as an adult. This movie about adults not believing our child heroine also prompted us to talk about some tropes we try to avoid.

Genius & Double Lives

11/25/2019
As the tagline promises, this is a movie in which Genius Charlie Boyle has to "add another side to himself" to fit in. We had high hopes of that being some science magic, but it's really just about adding a part of you where you're really disruptive and a liar! We had a lot of feelings about Genius and about some other stories that do double lives that we kind of wished we had watched instead.

Johnny Tsunami & Runaway Stories

11/18/2019
Johnny Tsunami is sadly not the wild Moana-meets-Frozen journey that Ceri took us on last time, but this movie about a surfer boy from Hawaii forced to move to snowy Vermont DID turn out to be somebody's favorite DCOM.

Smart House & Fantasy Movie Tech

11/4/2019
After Ceri's incredible highs-and-lows guess last time, we watched Smart House and marveled both at the oddly specific things she identified and also at how much fun this movie is, 20 years later. We also talk about all the other cool things we've seen in media that we wish we could have in our daily lives.
