Bonus Episode 7: But Hey, That's High School Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Well hello there strangers! Sorry that we’ve been so radio silent for awhile, but we were busy focusing on our higher education. In many ways, it was the highest education one could receive...and now we are ready to share everything we have learned with you at the one and only SKY HIGH! By which of course I mean we just spend most of this episode yelling about how much this movie slaps and how we know it by heart at this point. So if that’s your thing, then welcome aboard. If not, the school floats and you can feel free to hop off this ride at any time. Unless you can’t fly, in which case I hope you have the number of a really good bus driver.

Emma wants her desires fulfilled and has several slips of the tongue. Lucas demands a TV spin-off and has no eye for romance.

Show notes

Hey there all you happy haunts, y’all ready to get spooky??? It’s Halloween time again, and you already know Disney Channel is all about celebrating it right. This month however, we are taking a look at one of their more underrated offerings as we join the ranks of The Scream Team (even if that’s not what they are called; don’t ask). So join us as we have a rather unique group of DCOMmentators, who are all ready to talk about these ghostly situations…and even experience one themselves!

Lucas loses control very quickly and his humor gets puninentional. Dyllan cultivates his fanbase and makes some terrible jokes.

Sophie figures out every miniscule lesson this movie seeks to impart.

Episode 62: The Damp Bandits Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

I’m not going to lie to you audience, be prepared to get deep in this month’s episode. You’d think a cute little story like The Other Me would be relatively shallow, but the movie just raises so many moral and philosophical questions we couldn’t help ourselv….haha got ya. I assure you very little gets examined here, other than the truly insane twists and turns this movie decides to go on instead of just sticking to its campy premise and tone. So why don’t you come along with us as we go follow it down each and every one of them! From Depicting nudity on Disney Channel, lunchroom dance riots, and whatever the hell is going on at the nursing home; each one promises to bring double (Get it? Because clones) the intrigue and excitement of its predecessor.

Luke acts like his sister and wants to keep things light. Emma dives way too deep and gets stuck down Wikipedia holes.

Episode 61: My Close Personal Friend Protozoa Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

Wow. Five whole years of our nonsense, can you believe it? Honestly it’s been so long that if feels like even more. It kind of feels more like we’re in the future…again! That’s right, we are heading back to the far-off future of the 21st Century to catch up with our favorite space station superheroine Zenon in her very own Zequel. Come and celebrate with us as we work to focus on the good parts of movie that could use a lot more of them. Honestly, you guys are lucky we didn’t decide to just start watching another movie in the middle of this episode. Luckily, our one and only king Protozoa is here in full force to make us forget our troubles every single time he shows up on screen.

Emma doesn’t understand orbit and falls down an accent hole. Lucas feels the zum in his heart and questions all of his sister’s references.

Talking Points: Zenon Makes Everything Better, The Margie Problem, Power Rangers/Star Wars Plagiarism, All The Recastings, New Slang/New Fits, Goodbye Greg, More Like NO-rion, The Military Is Here Now, Captain Zeo-non, Make Pancaked Happen, Reused Sets, Montage Mistakes, Everyone Hates Zenon Now, DON’T ASK HOW; IT JUST DID, The Most Nonsensical Plan, Why Is Margie There???, All The CGI Is Bad, Thank God Judy Is Still Here, A Truly Insane Investigation, The Meta Narrative of The Zilogy, Everything Happens Via Zap-pad, The Jungle Slog, Protozoa Steals The Show, Button Mashing Saves The Day, Space Expert Surprises, The Stupidest Way to Blow This Plan, The Margie Redemption, The New Zealand Space Cops, The Juditive (The Fugitive But Starring Aunt Judy), The Aliens Are In Danger Now, The Zessiah, The ATV Flying V, Astrid Kar Is Important Now I Guess, All The Problems At Once, The Stepsister From Planet Weird and Zenon Crossover We’ve All Been Asking For, Put Protozoa Everywhere, The Wedding of the Century

Minisode: The Fourth Annual DCOM Choice Awards (2021) Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

Hmmm…do you feel that? It’s that weird vibe that’s been around for awhile. What could it be? Oh, of course. It must be award season once again! Which can only mean it’s time for the DCOM Choice Awards! A most incredible celebration, where we acknowledge everything the past year of DCOMs has had to offer. The truly thrilling highs…and the far more fun to talk about lows. So walk down the imaginary red carpet to be a part of a night sure to be full of happiness, disappointment, and definitely a whole lot of outrage from the voters because of how wrong we are about movies meant for children.

Emma faces some tough choices. Lucas gets his motives called into question.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted on twitter for the awards, and if you missed the polls be sure to follow us (@dcomedypodcast) so you can have your voice heard next year!

Editor’s Note: Yes we goofed up and got our Queen Dorothea’s last name mixed up with her daughter’s first name. That one’s on us. However, none of you pointed it out when it was posted in the polls so who is really to blame here???

Episode 60: The Wild World of 1980s California Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

Sorry about the delay of game! Luckily, the DCOMedy Crew, along with new guest Spencer, are finally ready to take it to the hoop and talk about what might just be the greatest achievement in basketball cinema ever: Double Teamed. Join us as we journey to the strange and fantastical alternate reality of 1985 California, where rules don’t matter and girl’s basketball is the height of athletic entertainment. There we can all bear witness to the meteoric rise of two "identical" twins as they dominate the sport with their unique strategies and skills out on the court. Well okay, it’s mostly their height. Really it’s all about their height.

Luke easily loses track of the twins and dives deep into a family’s secrets. Emma breaks out a killer impression and awakens her inner teenage girl.

Spencer spills the secrets on being a twin.

Talking Points: Making Two Distinct Adults Look Like Thirteen-Year-Old Twins, A Title Moratorium, The Basketballing Is Both Good and Bad, A DCOM Period Piece, Larry and Mary: Two Sides of the Same Coin, The Greatest Skill of All: Height, Shady College Man/Personification of Fate, Everything Is Different Now For Some Reason, Hollow Farewells, Look At Those Freaks!, Drama Club Cliches, The Subtle But Amazing Coach, QUEEN NICKY, No Time For More Takes, A Lack of Dribbling, The Enigma Of Galen, The Missing Burge, Nicky’s Tenacity, Twin Telepathy, The Most Important Scrimmage In The World, Confidential Arts and Crafts, School District Negotiations, Infected Wounds, A Clunky But Compelling Family Argument, All The Neighbors Hate These Girls, Yachts And Fever Dreams, The Stupidest Loss, Ball Is Life, The Villain Redemption We Deserved, Chekov’s H, The Intense Other Basketball Coach, Money Shots And A Hot Hand, The Most Brutal Injury, The Perfect Counter-Strategy, The Longest Seven Seconds In Basketball

Episode 59: The Off-limits Barn Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

Happy Halloween Everybody!! Are you ready to get spook….wait, what? It’s not Halloween? Oh good. I knew we had to take a little break from our podcast duties which pushed this episode back, but it didn’t feel like it had been that long. Well it’s not a big deal anyway. While Invisible Sister has many of the trappings of a good ole’ Halloween DCOM, it’s not really that big a part of it. It’s more about two sisters learning more about one another through costumes, lacrosse, and (most importantly) science!

Emma shames her brother’s knowledge base and can’t get a name right. Lucas lets guests into his mind palace and does a lot of white-knighting.

Talking Points: Science In Halloween’s Clothing, Ace-liens, Excessive Platitudes, Why CGI?, Genius/Goth, Correctly Aged Cast, The Problems With Perkins, FRO-YO, The Big Easy, Why Is George Here?, Meatballs???, Ingesting Insects for Invisibility (Brought to You By Ginger Fizz), Inconsistent Invisibility, The Fool-Proof Disguise, Spirit Circle, Boy’s Bathrooms, Lacrosse Time, Full-On Cheating, Time For a Ticking Clock, High School Labs: The Most High-tech Environment Possible, The Moth Catching Side-quest, A More Complex and Emotional Conflict, Halloween Rears Its Head, Let’s Romp the Swamp, Apologies to Nawlins, The Honeypot, Molly Makes a Weird Call, Perkins’ Finger Guns, Slow-mo Fro-yo, and Slam Narration

Episode 58: It's Quints. May 31, 2021

Show notes

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello! In many ways, this episode is quite different from what I’m sure anyone could have expected. Not only is it not about the movie we originally announced for this month, but we found ourselves doing a far more in-depth analysis of a movie’s emotion and themes than we usually do for a DCOM. To our credit, however, this is seemingly simple story about a bunch of babies changing peoples lives has more to it than you would think. It’s about things like art, family, and passion…but definitely still has plenty of jokes about babies pooping and peeing a lot so don’t worry yourself.

Lucas doesn’t understand babies and gets possessed. Emma changes her mind about meatloaf and hates unreliable narration.

Austin dives deep into the each layer the film hides.

Talking Points: KJB Kills It Every Time, A Litany of Weird Bits, The Time of Octomom, Don Knotts in the Mix, The Dark Realities of These Parents, The World According to Jamie, Big Meme Energy, What’s Going On With Brad?, Lying For No Reason, MR. B: PREDATOR, Genuine Emotion, Disney Channel Sex Talk, Dancing On the Lip of The Volcano, I Didn’t Know It Was Quints, Lollipop Cigars, Infant Vibes, The Grover Opioid Crisis, The Nightmare of Making Quints, Fiona Doubtfire, The Madness of Cake and Lasagna, Jackal Johnson Is Ripped, Stealing Rainbow Brite’s Style, Saw Puzzles For Poor Parents, Jamie Demeans The Audience, A Discussion about Don Knotts Sexual History, Running While Crying, Brad: The Lost Menendez, Adam Saves The Family, Albert Is Fired For Doing His Job, Literally Pointless Bikers, Yet Another Creep Is In Power, Did This Movie Even Really Happen?, Get It Together Charlie

Episode 57: Off The Same Page Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Hey there bubbly boys, gaseous girls, and those intergalactic inbetweeners; are you ready to get weird??? Not in like a super fun way or anything, sorry if that was misleading. I just meant that we are watching Stepsister From Planet Weird this month and you need to be prepared. Not for anything to do with the aliens though, honestly that’s kind of not a big deal here. Really you just need to be ready for this film’s wild cultural references and strange sense of humor, coupled with the kind of whiplash only a DCOM can provide as it wildly flips from one tone to another.

Emma gets way too deep and can’t stop laughing. Luke bungles the intro and says no to the dress.

Talking Points: The End of the Zombies Saga, Dessert DCOMs?, A Strong Wind Surfing Component, The Crimes of Cosmo Cola, The Enigma of Cutter, A Surprisingly Deep Character Arc, The Last Gasp of the 1990s, Insane Architecture, Megan: The Only Sensible Person on Earth, Kathy Is Not Okay, What’s With the Potato Chips, Hats on Hats on Hats, Cutaway Gags, Cosmo Goes Too Hard, Bad at Being Human, Full CGI Nightmares, OUR QUEEN SERENA SOO, Speed of Light Engagement, The Immense (If Uninteresting) Power of Being Hot, We Needed More Mikey, A Major Cosmetics Representative?, The Most Convoluted Plan, Disney Channel Deep Cut, It Feels Like There Are Missing Scenes, Real World Parallels, Better Call Fred, The Realities of Zircalon Relations, Random Seltzer, Every Child Loves Sanford and Son, Hitting the Gaslight Pedal, This Is The World Megan Lives In, Intergalactic Accents, Monster Moments, Brought to You By Altoids, A Planet-saving Speech About Potato Chips, Reception Romance, The Lying Will Continue

Episode 56: Dopey Bones Down Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

Welcome friends of villainy! This month, the time has finally come for us dive deep into one of Disney Channel’s most recent hit franchises with Descendants. We are heading to the greatest country in the world, the United States of Auradon, to meet the various children of classic Disney heroes and villains. Can they get along? Will the bad blood between their parents define their future? Will a flowering love overcome all the hatred? Honestly, none of that is super important. We all know the talk of the town is the villain kid’s incredible outfits and choreography. I suppose sometimes it’s good to be bad…

Emma loses her mind at a mascot and truly loves Dove. Luke wants Mevie to happen and hates Doug.

Talking Points: More on Spin, Playing With That IP, The Belle Impostor, Behind Those Bestial Eyes, Thriving At Being Over the Top, Insane Lore, A Misunderstanding of Monarchies, Fairy Tale Pilot Program, The Crazy Choice of Cruella, The Cheap Crown, RIP CAMERON BOYCE, A Town of Bicycles, Jaws + Circus = Evil Island, They Did Jafar So Bad, Disney Villain Wine Mom, Magic Staring Contest, A Hot Aaron Stone Reference, A Very Sudden Heist, The Superfluous Vaudeville Song, What Is Up With Jane?, The Definitely Interesting Sport: Tourney, A New Demi Rises, Reading the Room, Disney Created Ben, The Malchelorette, Love on the Isle, Soooo Shirtless, Shout Out To Foreigner, The Continuing Battle for Wheelchair User Representation, It All Falls Apart?, Coronation Looks, A Very Convenient Twist, Everyone Is Bad at Being Frozen, Are You Really Best Friends?
