Episode 55: Too Much Chicken, Not Enough Stakes Feb 28, 2021

Show notes

Hey there everyone! How are you Cock-A-Doodle Doing?!?!?! Ugh. Sorry, our brains are a bit scrambled after having to pick apart Hatching Pete for you all. A movie that is by no means terrible, but definitely takes a toll on your mind, body, and soul. All we hope is that by listening to this episode we can save some of you the mental anguish we experienced as we suffered for our art by saying the word chicken more times than the human brain was ever designed to process. So tread carefully, but do still listen to us unravel as we uncover the dark secrets of the town of Brewster and the mysteries it hides under its exterior. While also trying to avoid spending any time talking about basketball or mascot antics since they really just start to blur together after a while.

Luke throws out some theories and feels broken inside. Emma brings some strong wordplay and really nails her references.

Episode 54: Rodney Pepper-Eyes Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

After the past year, one would have hoped this month would have started 2021 off better in the grand scheme of things. However, at least we can say we are starting the year off right on our show by taking a look at the exceedingly fun time that is Jump In! While it is definitely a movie that doesn’t take a ton of risks with its plot, it makes up for it with solid music, great chemistry, and plenty of that sweet double dutch action that just never gets old. Oh yeah, there is also some boxing in there for some reason but don’t let that ruin all that other good stuff for you.

Luke gets nauseous from the camera and is always in Corbin’s Corner. Emma can’t stand the narration and won’t be steamrolled.

Episode 53: Skates and Sex Pacts Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

While we certainly hope the new year will be full of change for all of us, our last episode of the year has us treading some very familiar ground. A high schooler discovering a new passion that changes them, their new passion conflicting with their previous one, their relationship with a parent evolving in unexpected ways, and of course: hockey. You’d think rehashing these concepts would make for an easy, if rather by-the-numbers, DCOM. For some reason however, this movie decided to try movie so many other things it ended up a bit messier than it needed to be. Go Figure.

Emma loves figure skating and gets obsessed with the romance. Luke can’t handle the “girly” humor and gets way too frustrated about a kids' movie.

Talking Points: Too Much Telling With No Showing, Disney Channel Chicago Representation, The Eternal Wheel of DCOMs, Indoor Sports Domination, Spotty Narration, The Enigma of Ed, BOB AND GINGER, Topical Tonya Harding References, The Definitely Super Accurate Russian Woman, Walk-a-thon Woes, Everything About the Brother Sucks, Watch Out For Hooners, She Should Be in College, Someone Actually Asks Questions, Katelin Is a Republican, Twirl Girls, Time Has No Meaning, Nobody Taught Her Hockey, Irrational Hatred of Figure Skaters, An Out of Sequence Scene, Party-Party/Pamela’s Pulley Pranking Plan, That’s Kristi Yamaguchi!, The Problem Is Pamela, Terrible Fake Crying, Pregnancy On Ice, A Student Blackmails a Grown Man, Nothing Was Phat in 2005, The Worst Kept Secret In Hockey, Disney Channel Doping, Everyone Tells Her Not to Throw Away Her Dream, We Need to Talk About Pamela, The Brother’s Robot Becomes Relevant, All The Rules Get Thrown Out, An Absolutely Terrible Closing Line

Episode 52: Full-on Hand Magic Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

After a rather difficult year for basically the entire world, we wanted to escape into something a bit more magical. Luckily for us, Disney Channel made a whole TV show about a Wizard family in an entire magical world that got so popular they gave it a whole movie! So join us as we head down to Waverly Place and….what’s that? Oh. I’ve just been informed that the majority of this movie completely removes the family from their established setting and characters to have them go on vacation. How original. I’m sure this won’t feel like an entirely out of continuity side story at all.

Lucas refuses a mental image and agrees with his sister for once. Emma battles her own boredom and has a broken brain.

Talking Points: Canonicity Questions, Selena Gomez Juice, Wizards’ Accolades, The Unnecessary Max Russo, A Hilarious Dad and Overly Sexy Mom, Opening Issues, The Wizard World Sucks, Alex’s Illusions of Grandeur, A Perfectly Fun Family Vacation, Unjustified Emotion, Massive Info Dumps, The Bad Bird Vibes, Middle Aged And Ready To Party, This Setup Makes No Sense, Sleeping On The Job, This Movie Could Use Some Time Travel, Lazy Quicksand, A Human Moment Between Wizards, Upsetting Campfire Chats, Man vs. Bird, Everyone Just Gives Up, The Violent Tornado of Reality, A Very Athletic Wizard Battle, The Stupidest Necklace Ever, Bird Body Horror, Justin’s Eye Issues, A Reality Level Yeeting, Everyone Is Surprised Alex Does the Right Thing

Episode 51: Movie Mason's Megaplexxx of Pleasure Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

Happy Halloween Listeners! To celebrate the spookiest of seasons, we’re covering a The Phantom of the Megaplex! A movie full of…uh…umm…okay so to be honest with you, this movie ended up being far less Halloweeny than we were led to believe. It is a bit more focused on being a whodunit than putting out those spooky vibes. However, we are happy to report that it is also about an absolute legend named Movie Mason who has the entire world wrapped around his finger…and some other things too.

Emma gets hung-up on an unnamed character and has pronunciation problems. Luke fails at an accent and almost comes to blows with his sister. Dyllan gets swept up in the movie magic.

Episode 50: They Put a Horse in Charge? Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

We have quite an interesting case this month gang. We’ve covered dcoms built on the backs of things like books and TV shows before, but this is a different kind of beast. It is not only tied to a feature film, but by many metrics is not a Disney Channel Original Movie! However, since it bears the title, we traveled to the kingdom of Corona (yikes) to go on an all setup no payoff adventure with Rapunzel in Tangled: Before Ever After.

Emma just wanted a sequel and is overly attracted to these cartoons. Luke has controversial Prince opinions and some animation qualms.

Talking Points: We Got Tricked, A New/Old Spin, Tangled and Tooth Pain, No Eugene Only Flynn Rider, Rapunzel Hates Shoes, Unfulfilled Horse Romance, Maximus Rules So Hard, Clancy Brown Can’t Sing, Everybody Hates Flynn, Eugene SIMP-herbert, Lady Caine vs. Cassandra: Who Deserves to Be the Villain?, The Sudden Appearance of France, Super Weird Kiss Baiting, Cassandra Goes Dark, A Strangely Horrific Proposal, Ascot Bargaining, Pascal’s Puppetry, Things Get Ominous, Rapunzel Is A Superhero, The Mom Decides to Be Important, The Stupidest Villain Motivation, Chekov’s Frying Pan

Episode 49: Men Don't Matter Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Alright listeners, time for you to dig deep and find your spots! Because we have decided to celebrate our fourth anniversary (ignore all the times we say fifth, we are bad and wrong) by coming at you with as much growl power as we could muster. That’s right everyone, we are covering easily one of our most requested movies: The Cheetah Girls! Join us as we dive deep into this legendary DCOM, mainly in the ways it is both amazing and beautifully insane at the same time.

Emma dives deep into her musical past and sounds super smart. Luke gets hung up on the animal facts and doesn’t know music.

Talking Points: Oops! Missed a Movie, S-Tier Acting, A Lot of Attempted Catchphrases, Aqua Gets Snubbed, The Alternate Music Video Reality, Prada or Nada, A Quality Dog, Dorothea Rules, Buckets of Duckets, Hornt Up Parents, Insane Sound Design, Mrs. Almanac, Breaking It Down to the Camera, The Icon That Is Drinka Champagne, Disney Channel Being Real, The Jackala Johnson/Jackson Effect, The Powerful Aura of Dorothea, Running on Growl Powder, Hot Sauce in the Bag Swag, Def Duck Studios, Dorothea’s Galaxy Brain, Jackal Johnson Deserves Jail Time, Time Still Has No Meaning, The Fall of Galleria Caligula, Playing Catch-Up, Terrible Child Acting, Disney Channel Lets This Movie Get Real, The Global Getdown, We Stop Making a Funny Podcast, Hearth Ledder, DOG IN A HOLE!, New York Comes Together

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, due to the heat wave in California, we couldn’t record in our usual environment so the audio turned out with some echo at times. Our apologies.

Minisode: The Third Annual DCOM Choice Awards 2020 Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

It’s award season once again! Plus, since there aren’t really gonna be many other awards shows for awhile, we can officially present to you the greatest awards show experience of the year! That’s right, it’s time for the one and only the DCOM Choice Awards! The most magical of nights, where we acknowledge both the highs and the lows the past year of DCOMs has had to offer. So don’t miss out on a night sure to be full of laughter, tears, and I’m sure disagreements from our audience over our opinions.

Emma can’t stop joining cults. Lucas shames Emma’s lack of showmanship.

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!

Episode 48: That Damn Hat Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

Listen up guys. If you have any common sense, you should turn back before it is too late. We thought we would have a fun time watching the now-notorious Radio Rebel, but there was almost no fun to be had. This movie brought us nothing but pain, from the baffling character choices, insane dialogue, and (perhaps worst of all) the wardrobe.

Emma reminisces about statement jewelry and can’t tell what’s good anymore. Lucas gets his life force drained and wants to call it early.

Talking Points: Disney’s Folly, News At Last, Classic High School, Far Out Fashion, THE POPS, No 2012 Teen Wants This, The Least Interesting Point of Entry, Larry and Barry: Unimportant Idiots, Call Me Radio Rebel, A Band Post Lemonade Mouthing, Please No G’s, Tara’s “Shyness” Troubles, Drastic Departure From DCOM Parents, Bad Bedroom Design, Bang Acting, The State of Radio in 2012, Shakespeare But Bad, Kleptomaniac Principal, Random Food Theft, Radio Hor-Rebel, The Silent G’s, The Saddest Man Alive, Idiotic Fears, Everyone Protests the Wrong Person, An Unbelievable Sandwich Plan, The Morp, A Pointless Tangent About The Mask, Stacy Is Delusional, An Insane Show of Blocking, Show Don’t Tell, All the Morp Madness, The Stupid Sandwich Surprise

Bonus Episode 6: Jon Voight's Lemon Party Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

Get in our shady red heist van, audience. We need your help. We weren’t feeling very patriotic this Fourth of July so we decided to live vicariously through Nicolas Cage as he robs the U.S. Government blind. That’s right, we watched the modern masterpiece that is National Treasure and now we are way too hype to NOT steal the Declaration of Independence. You in? Of course you are. Oh, by the way do you have any lemons?

Emma still would and proves women can’t be trusted. Lucas kills the mood and tries to keep things out of New York. Dyllan flexes his history muscles.

Talking Points: Always Check for Christopher Plummers In The Attic, The National Treasure Ride, Production Promises, National Treasure Three Plot Ideas, The Genius of Riley Poole, Wildly Accented Henchmen, Unnecessary Chirons, Certified Smokeshow Diane Kruger, I’M GONNA STEAL THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, Nic Cage Just Wants His Treasure, Washington DC Tourism Porn, Heist Prep!, Scandalous Deleted Scenes, Horny For Adventure, The Most Insane Toast, The Worst Marksmen, Kidnapped By Cage, The Keitel Enigma, Everyone’s Getting Fired, Treasure and Pleasure, Nic Cage Pillow Talk, Abigail Goes All In, We Are All Harvey Keitel, The Criminal Mastermind Who Uses Ask Jeeves, Urban Outfitters: The Wild West of Clothing, Water Magnification, The Deep Backstory of Phil, The Most Reckless FBI Op, The Treasure Was Family All Along
