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

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.

Episode 63: The Soul Patrol? Oct 31, 2021

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

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.

Talking Points: A Disney+ Snubbing, The New Millennium, A Lack of Femininity, The Junior Confusion, Yo-Yo Kid, Allison Pill Rules, No Science = Good, What Is Up With Heather, Camp Spartacus, Dodging the Draft, Ocean Pups and Otter Pops, Hypercloning, So Many Questions About the Cloning Process, The Jig Is Immediately Up, All Genders Agree: Burping Contests Are Gross, GRANDPA MORDECAI, The Universal Frisbee, Twoie’s First Day of School, The Electrifying Dance Riot, Scottie DeSota: Unlikely Hero, The Ice Cream Truck Diversion, Grandpa Mordecai Awakens, Will Goes Back to School, The Ticking Clock of Death, Getting Out On the Dance Floor, The Disney Junior Prom, Does He Know He Is Dying?, Science Juice, Chuckie Does All the Work, The Yo-Yo Argument, The Worst Place to Kidnap a Child, The Kiss No One Cares About, A Family That Lies Together Stays Together, You’re Our Son Now!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Episode 57: Off The Same Page Apr 30, 2021

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.

Episode 56: Dopey Bones Down Mar 31, 2021

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.

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

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.

Talking Points: A True Enigma, Please Watch Hatching Pete Responsibly, The Most Grotesque Character in a DCOM, Why Is This a Comedy?, A Gym of Confused Teenagers, The Incredibly Small Gym, The Mess of Camie Poole, The Terrible But Beloved Basketball Team, The Trampoline of Emotions, A Lack of Food Fun, THE CULT OF THE CHICKEN, Low Energy Ivey, We Can’t Describe The Basketball And Antics, Iron Chicken, Everybody Loves/Hates The Chicken, Houston From Houston, Chicken Possession, Everyone Is Horny For The Chicken, An Incredibly Easy Sell, We’re Over The Hill, Detective Dill, Now Everyone Just Loves The Chicken, Deep Cut Comic Book References, Cheating With The Chicken, Poole Pulls A 180, The Twine Returns, The Secret Is Stupidly Revealed, Unfulfilling Heart To Hearts, Grand Theft Avian, The Magic’s In The Mystery Now I Guess, Pete & Cleat, The DCOMedy 2021 Bane-Off, The Chicken’s Secret Stuff

Episode 54: Rodney Pepper-Eyes Jan 31, 2021

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.

Talking Points: Soundtrack Conflict, Corbin and Keke, Basically A Sports Biopic, Boxing Is Too Violent For Disney Channel, Corbin and Parkour, The Return of The King, Disney Actually Tries, A Well-Done Dead Parent, Disney Channel Sibling Age Gaps, Tammy: Feminist Icon, Big Balcony Problems, The Narration Spoils Its Ending, The Enigma of Mr. Hook, Gina’s Unfounded Hatred, Double Dutch Looks Rad, Where Is Bridget?, The Worst Boxing Ever, This Movie Hates Kids With Glasses, Double Dutch Destroys Lives, Pouring Liquid On Someone: A Rock Solid Comeback, What Was Rodney’s Plan, The Oldest Camera, Disney Has a Lawsuit Incoming, Nunya What?, Blow Off Your Girlfriend Son!, The Obsessive Photo Lab, Who Cares About This?, The Closest We May Ever Get to A Disney Channel Yo Momma Joke, That’s Your Takeaway? Corbin Goes HARD, Walking It Off, The Magic Referee, Corbin Continues To Go HARD, This Crowd Wants Blood, The Announcer’s Wild Style, An Incredibly Long But Incredibly Hype Performance

Episode 53: Skates and Sex Pacts Dec 31, 2020

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

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

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.

Talking Points: Scooby-DCOM, Warm Movie Memories, An Actually Good Protagonist, There Are Only Boring or Wild Names, The Rooney Factor, The Many Protagonists, Fake Movie Titles, The Largest Bowl of Cereal Ever, Breaking Labor Laws, Donny Loves Pete, Alternate Phantom Theories, Very Unsexy Uniforms, Movie Mason’s Burlesque Days, Home Alone Level Stunts, Friends Who Hate Each Other, What Is A Cinema Sitter?, Caitlin’s Movie Theater Fetish, A Town of Karens, Public Domain Phantom Music, The Fan Hits the Fan, Extras in the Wind, THE PLANT METAPHOR, So Many Stairs, A Way Too Emotional Monologue, The Phantom’s Editing Skills, Brian Takes Charge, Boring Water Balloons, The Roof of Death, Misplaced Messages, The Phantom Shops at H&M, Smart House Reference!, They Solve It Offscreen?, A Solid Stunt, Why But No How, Pete Buys His Lady Breakfast

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Episode 47: Apologies to the Drag Racing Community Jun 30, 2020

Alright gang, let’s start your engines! That’s right, for June we are all about drag racing. All day, every day. We just love it when the cars go fast, and when…um…the cars go even faster somehow? Okay I’ll be real, the sport this movie focuses on doesn’t really photograph well and was kind of difficult to grasp the mechanics of. While the racing might fall a bit flat, the romance can be disappointing, and the pacing is crazy, it can be hard to notice all that when you’re focused on staying Right on Track!

Luke keeps trying to cut bits and checks in with his best friend. Emma demands a rival romance and can’t handle the timeline.

Talking Points: Justice for Jordy, Benjamin Button Enders, Children Driving Cars, Ugly Trophies, Nonsensical Sexclusion, Gregg Enders’ Side Hustle, Love in the Fast Lane, There Is Only French Class, The Party of the Century, Seraphim of the Speedway, Being Way Too Horny, RACERGIRL, Stop Playing Volleyball!, Gregg Goes Off, Doug Pennzoildome, Erica’s Last Goodbye, A Medical Marvel, Getting Back On The Dragstrip, The Randy of the Opera, Double Power Moves, Everyone’s Favorite Product: Gumout, Papa Pennzoil, Drag Racer Driving Tests, BDErica, Ice Skating Social Suicide, Alcohol Curveball, A Sitcom Tangent, Mucho Pressure, The Win Spike, Dejadome Vu, ESPN Le Sept, No Room for Improvement, Gregg the Computer Electronics Genius???, The Editing Kills the Ending

Episode 46: Wilde Whiplash May 31, 2020

Alright listeners, this month DCOMedy is going Hollywood. We’re even bringing our new friend Paige along for the ride! That’s right, we’re living the big time in Los Angeles by reviewing Starstruck. You’d think it was a classic story of a regular girl meeting a celebrity and going on an adventure, but really it turns out to be a true roller-coaster of a relationship. Not with your ordinary ups and downs either, more like them changing wildly between wanting to kill each other or falling in love? Maybe? Kind of? It won’t last.

Emma can't handle the costumes and gives storm-out advice. Luke wants a real villain and just loves Stubby. Paige makes our hosts really feel their age.

Episode 45: For the Ladies Apr 30, 2020

Howdy there partner! You look like someone who could learn a thing a two about having some Horse Sense. What’s Horse Sense you ask? Well…uh…um….it’s…look. We may have devoted our April episode to this 1999 Lawrence Brothers showcase, but we have no earthly idea what it’s title has to do with the movie. The filmmakers apparently didn’t feel it was important to connect them. The only thing for sure they had to do was to make Joey Lawrence look as hot as possible, and by God they did their duty.

Lucas fights some body issues and shows some woodworking knowledge. Emma invents a troubling romance and has no qualms about this attraction.

Talking Points: Big ABC Family Energy, Magical Creature Crushes Continued, What Is Horse Sense?, Horse Sense of the Cinnamaron, Rodeo Drive, Hitting the Pube, The Chiseled Joey Lawrence, Gina with the Va, Kids Love the Costner, Disneyland Teases, Into the BrinkVerse, Tube Slide Slapstick, Disney Says Horse Rights?, Family Finance Troubles, Ranch Life, Cowboy Language, Boring Sabotage, Literal B.S., God’s Painting?, Wolf Watch, STAMPEDE, Wild Horses, Bad Time Flow, Messing Up the Message, Pyramid Schemes, Tree-house Meltdowns, Horse Porn, Real Estate Law Saves the Day

Episode 44: Emma vs. Luke 2 - Prawnpocaplypse Mar 31, 2020

Okay everyone, you know what time it is. Dust off your Z-bands and pom-poms, because (despite the wishes of one of our hosts) we are headed back to Seabrook. That’s right, we are reviewing the freshly released Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 and all of the craziness that comes with it. Come along as we dive right into how this world gets even wilder thanks to werewolves, monster laws, and unfulfilled prophecies.

Emma fights for the people and wins a personal victory. Lucas is in denial and missed a massive metaphor.

Episode 43: Nobody Explains Anything Mar 03, 2020

After taking a short leave, the dauntless DCOMedy crew is reporting for duty to give you our full report on the most accurate military film ever made: Cadet Kelly! Join us as we follow a classic fish out of water story, where the free-spirited Hilary Duff is dropped into a world of hard work, zero individuality, and strict rules. Too bad not a single person decided to actually tell her what those rules were, huh? That probably would have helped a lot.

Emma calls out her brother and has her heart break for Kelly. Lucas doesn’t understand gymnastics and confronts his own mortality.

Talking Points: Girl Movie Disdain, Zombies Rise Again, Terrible Parents, Unnecessary Narration, Every Fish Life Is Worth Saving, Duff in Denial, Military Porn, Kelly’s Conformity, Everybody Loves Brad, CCR’s BDE, Military Messenger Bags, Let Carla Have Something, Going Downhill, Dirty Bird Brad, Cracker Jack Court, Borrowing Spit, Hair Problems, Head Rubs, Sudden Plot Shifts, That Flavor, Dance for Me, Girl Loves a Bangle, Permission to KRUMP, The Rumsfeld Drop, No Tolerance for Nokias, We Suck at Describing Things, The Feels, Things Get Wild, Tonal Whiplash, This Was an Autobiography??

Editor’s Note: There was a strange audio hiccup towards the end of the episode that made us lose some of our usual wrap-up. Therefore you may notice a quick cut towards the end and a lack of ratings this time around. For those who actually keep track of our scores at home, which I honestly hope is none of you, Emma gave it a 7.5 and Lucas gave it a 7.

Episode 42: Costume Catastrophe Jan 31, 2020

Ah, superheroes. What’s not to love? People with amazing abilities and cool costumes acting selflessly to help their fellow man. It’s perfect! So certainly, Disney Channel’s own superhero movie Up, Up, and Away! will be a slam dunk! What’s that? The superheroes have no urgency to help people, the budget is so low they can’t really show cool powers, and the costumes are so bad it hurts the eyes? Well, uh, with any luck an under-aged superhero will be around to electroshock the bad memories of this film from my brain and just leave the stuff we thought was fun. Like the foil thing! That was fun, right? Or was it a cheap workaround? Hmmmm….

Luke settles a score and finds a mortal enemy. Emma calls out a bad boyfriend and makes a quick exit. Dyllan just wants to talk about Entourage.

Episode 41: Creepy Uncle Nick Dec 31, 2019

Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas dear listeners! I hope you are all on the nice list this ye- What’s that? Christmas was a week ago and it’s literally New Year’s Eve when we are posting this? It basically defeats the purpose of doing a Christmas DCOM in the first place? Well if you keep that naughty thinking up, someone is getting an ant farm instead of a new episode all about ‘Twas the Night like they wanted.

Luke tries out a new voice and begs for a zombie apocalypse. Emma hates the new voice and wants this to be over. Drew & Riley are in shock after watching this film.

Episode 40: Stevological Warfare Dec 05, 2019

After an unfortunate delay, we are happy to report that your flight to the definitely real island of Mandalino is ready to go! And to make it up to you, your in flight movie will be another television show turned DCOM with The Even Stevens Movie. Much like we endured our technical difficulties, watch the Stevens endure and overcome being put in a survivor-esque situation while hopefully wrapping up their series in a meaningful way.

Emma revisits her crush and doesn’t like the family fighting. Lucas's fingers get possessed and screams for Shia. Brittany drops some knowledge on our hosts.

Episode 39: Sucky Hogwarts Dec 04, 2019

(Reupload) It is always hard to say goodbye, but never has it been harder than the way we were forced to say goodbye to the Halloweentown franchise by watching its final installment: Return to Halloweentown. Celebrate the spookiest of seasons with us as we follow a girl who calls herself Marnie, but doesn’t look like her, leaving the nest to go to magic college. Doesn’t that sound like it would be cool? Well, it’s not. Trust us.

Emma asks for very specific humor and can’t tell her own joke. Luke writes the movie better and has poor water etiquette.

Episode 38: The Full Doubtfire Sep 30, 2019

Alright, quiet down everyone. For the rest of this episode we are holding the talking flower, which means you are legally required to listen to us drone (like a bee) on and on about Den Brother. A truly baffling film where an older brother gains control of a troop of girls under one of the worst run organizations of all time. Join us as we are forced to watch him pretend to be an older woman while manipulating children to make his life easier and use them an excuse to attract the only girl every who is horny for scouting.

Luke nails an impression and wants you to protect Tina. Emma wants more wordplay and remembers her scouting days.

Episode 37: There Is No Heterosexual Explanation For This Sep 07, 2019

Sorry to make y’all wait on this one a bit longer, but I think after three years we’ve earned a little bit of wiggle room. However, the delay was not because we didn’t want to talk about this movie, quite the contrary. We are beyond stoked to finally bring you our coverage of the absolute DCOM classic: Brink! So come along as we grind down a rail into this story of friendship, betrayal, identity, and obviously rollerblading. Because the nineties were a wild time and this movie is the distillation of exactly why.

Emma loves the formula and wants to join another cult. Luke missed out on blading and is ecstatic about the villain.

Minisode: The Second Annual DCOM Choice Awards Aug 17, 2019

There is a familiar mood on the air, my loyal DCOMrades, and it has the distinct smell of statuette gold! This can mean only one thing…it’s time for the DCOM Choice Awards! The most magical of nights, where we hand out some accolades to the worthiest and least worthy things we have seen in the past year of DCOMs. So come along to laugh, cry, and feel the seething rage of seeing us snub your personal picks. Ah, awards season!

Emma shows her VAH knowledge. Lucas put in a sad amount of effort.

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 36: Devils and Dirtboards Aug 07, 2019

After a brief delay, our Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board episode has made it’s way down the mountain! Good thing dirt-boarding isn’t a racing sport. Or is it? Dyllan joins us once again as we cover the more land-based sequel to the even more classic Johnny Tsunami. Honestly, it’s a movie just as zig-zaggy as riding a board down a mountain.

Lucas has terrible hearing and writes Johnny Tsunami fan-fiction.

Emma thought this sport was fake and freaks out about her bed.

Dyllan forgot to turn off his air conditioning so his audio sounds weird sometimes.

Talking Points: Missing Conflicts, Ridiculous Recasting, Surfing for Bikinis, The Incredibly Dangerous Dirt-boarding, Super Relevant Rocket Power References, Age Issues, JTA’s Three Strikes, A Mature Main Character, Surf-shop/Pray/Love, Everything Happens on the Same Day, Amazing Bully Names, The Trouble With Troy, Val and the Rushed Romance, Business Management, Never Trust Troy, Boarding on the Barge, SHAKY CAM, Johnny the G, Val: Knows What She Wants, Troy’s Commune, Mystery Business Man, Math Whiz, Cops on Parole, Johnny Falls for This, Jared Wants a Child to Die, Groms, Children Rebuild a Store, Sports Finally Happen, An Actual Arrest

Bonus Episode 5: The Best In The Country Jul 31, 2019

I know you all were expecting a normal episode today, but we had some scheduling issues. So instead, we decided to go fishing for charm bracelets in our local river to catch a bonus episode for you all! We finally cover the film fans voted for in our poll, even if we have a lot of trouble actually staying on topic while we talk about it.

Emma loses the location and loves spooky boys. Luke forgets his own age and hates the word straddle.

Episode 35: A Disney Channel Psychological Thriller Jun 30, 2019

This month’s episode is coming hot of the presses! We decided to pick up a copy of Read It and Weep, expecting to find a pretty standard story of a high-school student getting accidentally famous. What we didn’t expect to find was a character study of a young girl undergoing a mental breakdown and alienating everyone in her life for no reason other than her hallucination telling her to do so.

Emma soldiers on and wants everyone to stop making their own misery. Luke re-classifies this movie and tells an embarrassing story about Emma.

Talking Points: A Panabaker Double Feature, 2 Descendants 2 Furious, Her Insane Computer, Low-Rent Zac Efron, Stop Making Jason Dolley a Loser, What Were We Doing in 2006, Canadian Schools, Poetry Problems, Big Sad Boy Energy, The Most Insane Pizza Restaurant, A Confusing Writing Contest, Way Too Supportive Parents, Gotta Keep the Gold, ZAP, A Wasted Lenny, Lightspeed Book Printing, Overestimating the Fame of Authors, Disney Channel Adult Party, Why Is Sawyer So Great?, A Total Mental Breakdown on Live TV, An Unfairly Mean Protest, That Is Not How This Works!, All Ecosystems Go, Seaweed Reaction Shots, Why Is There Sushi At a Pizza Restaurant?

Episode 34: Women and Sandwiches May 31, 2019

Listen up audience, just because we are covering Freaky Friday this month, you better not try to get out of listening to this episode to go on an uninteresting scavenger hunt! However, we will allow it so long as you do so to find this massive hourglass we are looking for. Still you should stay in and listen anyway, if only to hear us complain about the confusing decisions the filmmakers made both as a movie and an adaptation.

Luke brings back his favorite theory and learns a new phrase. Emma can’t let go of the 2003 movie and would die for Mike. Mercedes pulls of a long con.

Episode 33: On the Cutting Room Floor Apr 30, 2019

It may not be Summer quite yet, but you better pack your bags, your musical instrument of choice, and your song book because: we are going to Camp Rock! Come with us as we travel back to the romantic time of 2008 and relive the film that re-introduced the world to Demi Lovato and helped to light the wildfire of Jonas Brothers mania.

Emma gets shook by style and is left wanting more. Luke shares some unpopular opinions and uses the wrong name. Marissa relives her Jonas Brothers obsession.

Talking Points: Descendants 3 Trailer, Pre-gap or Post-gap, JoBros Mandala Effect, Triple Sunglasses, Disney Channel Scandal, The Demi Smile, The Thinness of Tess Tyler, Apologies to Kevin Jonas, Joe vs. Nick Girls, The Little Mean Girls, Lunchroom Set Design, Sensual Cupcakes, Second Breakfasts/Bad Editing, Misdirected Deception, Connect Three Prequel Movie, Food Fight Tease, The Most Romantic Scene, That’s Chappie, Caitlyn’s Music Rights, Purity Rings, Who’s on Jonas, Romantic Canoe Rides, Tears of a Jonas, Confusing Bracelet Ploys, A Moment of Light, The Dream Tour

Episode 32: May the Road Rise Up to Meet Ya Mar 31, 2019

St. Patrick’s Day may have passed, but the heart of the Emerald Isle still beats strong in our chests. So, we are going to express our heritage loud and proud this month by reviewing The Luck of the Irish. Join us as we follow the rainbow to find the pot of gold at the end, even if instead of gold we find confusing Leprechaun logic and a surprising amount of American propaganda.

Emma bashes her heritage and is obsessed with pit stains. Lucas flexes his Irish accent and does a one-man show. Austin realizes he knows nothing about Lerprechauns.

Talking Points: American Dream Propaganda, Offensive Costuming, The Last Merriman, Unnecessary Narration, Hello to Mr. Hoen, Sports Is Happening Now, Horror Movie Parents, Searching for Johnsons, Kyle is an Idiot, A Non-Copyrighted Lucky Charm, A Random Irish Festival, The Original “What Are Those”, Backpack Anxiety, Leprechaun Biology, Bianca/Debbie/Bonnie, A Crowd Bullies a Child, The Dad Should Be Way More Concerned, Leprechaun Lessons, Are All Irish People Leprechauns?, Austin Powers Chase, A Conflict of Leprechaun Interest, Reilly O’Reilly, Holding Irish Grudges, Disney Channels Confronts Slavery, Leprechauns Are Wizards Now, A Classic Cleveland Crossover, Cleveland Is a Punishment

Editor’s Note: We were trying out a new recording software and, while it worked pretty well, it did result in a little audio weirdness at times.

Episode 31: Stop Saying Daddy Feb 28, 2019

We decided to review Cow Belles this month because you all are a bunch of spoiled, inconsiderate jerks and wanted you to learn something. Now, I know that nothing about the way you behave or act indicates this, but that doesn’t stop everyone from being mean to Aly & AJ so take that! Come and change your ways by experiencing all the fun stuff this movie has…like business management and FDA regulations.

Luke makes a weird analogy and does a great accent. Emma loves manipulating men and wants the movie to be about something else.

Talking Points: The Kim Possible Movie, Lack of Tension, Clueless Shame, The Actor from Everything, The Incredibly Obvious Villain, Butterfly Collecting, A Confusingly Dead Mom, What is a Cotillion?, Ridiculous Party Budget, Accidental Arson, An Uncle Joey Situation, Everyone is Mean to Teenagers, Aly and AJ Never Sing, Mess Humor, Power Point Pacing, Scrounging for Footage, FIND ANYTHING, No Drama, A Random Pizza Scene, The Worst Rich Girls, A Rain Man Reference, Completely New Character Traits, Stop Having Animal Births , Farmer’s Only, Fill-ippe, Pointless Scenes, FDA Regulations, Stealing the Spotlight, The Bad Guy Wins, Alternate Endings

Episode 30: Bullying And Cheating Are Cool? Jan 31, 2019

The DCOMedy crew is many things, but one thing we definitely aren’t is smart or athletic. Well sure enough, here comes Genius to judge our abilities of being both. Join us for a film that has kind of aged poorly, as we discover why they don’t really show it anymore as well as a theoretical particle that will change the future of humanity forever! But that’s really more of a side thing to cringey school scenes and hockey.

Luke has trouble pronouncing names and teaches science. Emma finds a new crush and wants to talk about Flubber. Dyllan opens a new corner.

Bonus Episode 4: A Special Place Jan 16, 2019

Sorry your Christmas present ended being a little late everyone, but since Life-Size 2 just came out, Eve dolls were on back order. But still, we wanted to celebrate the long-awaited sequel by going back to the original tale of friendship, love, and the crushing weight of a dead loved one driving you to study the dark arts. Ya, know: kids’ stuff!

Emma looks into the eyes of a proud husky and reveals her secret desires. Luke can’t get over the money and feels like a creep.

Episode 29: The Wrath of Lucas Dec 31, 2018

All right folks, time to gather round the table (get it?) and listen as we rant and rave about the insane roller-coaster that is Avalon High. It’s a film that has a lot going for it: a good cast, a solid source material, and loads of intrigue. However, the thing that truly makes it worth talking about is how it somehow manages to completely ruin all of it.

Lucas gets way too hot on this topic and almost loses his voice. Emma is underwhelmed by the romantic lead and makes a YouTube video essay.

Episode 28: This Should Have Been a Dream Nov 30, 2018

We have quite an interesting movie for all of you this month. Every time you think it’s gonna zig? It zags. Although I guess that is to be expected from the kind of superspy theatrics on display in Jett Jackson: The Movie. Come along as we dive into a movie that goes so meta with its concept of different realities that by the end you won’t even know what’s real anymore...

Luke knows nothing about this show and had portal problems. Emma reinforces gender roles and wants more romance.

Talking Points: Life Size 2, Rear Memento, Blowing Past Sadness, Disney Channel’s First Crackhead, This Movie Is So Meta It Can’t Be Criticized, A Life With Derek Feel, Is This The Finale?,The Space-Time Nonsense Machine, Just Ask Her!, Sudden Proms, Get That Money, JettBucks, The Most Insane Premise, Great Grandmothers, CHICAGO IS GONE, Silverstone Based School System, Everybody Hates Jett, New Canada City, The Leather Budget, Scraping the Dimension Hole, Law and Order: Silverstone, A Rad Fight Scene, Cargo Goons, Old People in DCOMs Are Magic, An Extensive Rendition of the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Kayla x Jett OTP, Everybody Loves Jett Again…for No Reason, Cost Effective Force Fields, A Trio of Jacksons, and A Nonsensical Solution

Episode 27: Risking It For The Biscuit Oct 30, 2018

It is that time of year once again my friends…the spooky season is upon us! While this may just mean it’s a time of candy and costumes to you, for us it means it’s time to return to Halloweentown again. Not literally of course, they don’t have the budget for that this year. With Halloweentown High, we are going all in on the mortal world; much like Marnie is going all in with some guy she just met. Because clearly she just never learns anything, including more magic.

Emma forgets her love and has to be open about her drunkenness. Luke writes some fanfiction and reads into the movie way too much.

Talking Points: Lack of Recap, Stellar Spooky Sets, More Confusing Halloween Creatures, Debbie Reynolds Continues to Slay, Gwen Cromwell: Halloweentown Heartthrob, Sophie Gets Screwed, Magic Mary Magdalene, Frightening Fashion, Aggie Can’t Teach, Halloweentown Math and Science, Creepy Cody, The Rad Clubhouse, Marnie Has Learned Nothing, A Very Confusing Romance, A Million Red Flags, Sophie Misses Everything, Marnie vs. Aggie, Dylan Actually Matters for One Second, Magical Cell Phone Prisons, Aggie’s Dramatic Reveals, Marnie Putting It All on the Line, Disappointing Halloween Costumes, Reveal Fails, Another Fast and Unsatisfying Ending

Episode 26: It's Just Not. Sep 30, 2018

Folks…our only real hope for this episode is that you can find some enjoyment in our deep descent into sorrow and exhaustion as we discuss the cinematic blunder that is Dadnapped. A marvel of mistakes, poor decision-making, and an apparent lack of effort. Yup, this is a bad one folks, so bad that by the end we are basically just praying for the chance to kill one of the main characters with our bare hands.

Emma needs to apologize and decided to fix her shower curtain. Luke knows what he’s about and loses control of his voice.

Episode 25: What The Heck Are Those Two Doing In A Tree?! Aug 31, 2018

It is finally time everyone. The stakes are high, but our excitement is higher. We are celebrating our monumental two-year anniversary by reviewing High. School. Musical. And of course by review, I mean we mostly just quote the best lines and shout WHAT TEAM? WILDCATS in your ears the whole episode.

Luke loves Corbin Bleu and gets cast to dub over Gabriella. Emma gets location vindication and wants to see some shirtless dudes.

Minisode: The 2018 DCOM Choice Awards Aug 28, 2018

You may remember that for our anniversary last year we decided to hand out some awards for the movies we had watched in the past year of viewing, and we've decided to do it again! However, this time we decided to take up a whole hour of your life this time so we could make the DCOM Choice Awards bigger and better than ever! So come along and see where the night takes us. Laugh, cry, and of course get angry about how wrong we are and how much you disagree with our opinions.

Emma gets heated on an old topic. Lucas learns too much about his sister.

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!

Bonus Episode 3: This Is Prime Time Baby Aug 24, 2018

After a long wait, the DCOMedy crew finally sits down to give you the presidential treatment with a bonus episode on My Date With The President's Daughter. Join us as we discuss a film that is basically a DCOM but a little more adult since it was made for ABC. What that means is it turns out to essentially be a poorly conceived romantic comedy narrative where the writers just tried to make crazy thing after crazy thing happen to our leads.

Episode 24; How Geneva Got Her Groove Back Jul 31, 2018

We decided to hit the track this month with Motocrossed, which seems like it would be a film about motocross. Really it's about the relationship between a mother and daughter who find themselves once they escape the influence of the family's monstrous father. So if you expected to understand anything about how motocross works I suggest you check elsewhere because we still have no clue.

Emma writes her own movie/musical and falls for a male model motocrosser.

Luke is persecuted for his pronunciation and flexes his French accent.

Dyllan plays to his wheelhouse of films with dream-crushing parents.

Episode 23: Mel's Special Lemonade Jun 30, 2018

Poets. Geniuses. Revolutionaries. The DCOMedy Crew has been called none of these things, but they are still here to talk about Lemonade Mouth for far longer than anyone should really desire to listen. Join us as we miss a bunch of crucial scenes and have to backpedal on them and get upset this film can't fulfill a subplot to save its life.

Luke drinks lemonade and tears up. Emma stans Bridgit Mendler and fans people with grape leaves. Ashley gets broken by some Disney Channel rapping.

Episode 22: Emma vs. Luke - Dawn of Zombies May 31, 2018

This month, we are looking at the most recent DCOM yet: Zombies. Surprisingly, it has left us in a bit of a standoff. One host thinks its good, one thinks its bad, but they are both definitely really confused about how zombies work. Join us for some amazing choreography, hilarious side characters, and ridiculous wig work.

Emma misses that this is an allegory and doesn’t pay attention. Luke gets his speech patterns called out and wants you to know he runs our twitter.

Episode 21: Love...And Illegal Fishing Practices Apr 30, 2018

We decided to take a trip down to a confusingly located island this April, by which I mean we watched A Ring of Endless Light. There is a lot to unpack in this one folks, so join us as we tackle a movie with some dark turns and really strange religious undertones. Although, at its core, it is a story about a girl caught between two potential loves while trying to stop the illegal fishing industry. Oh, also she can talk to dolphins, but that's really more of a side thing.

Luke did a lot of research and opens a new corner. Emma doesn’t pick up on a lot and is real bitter.

This month, we've got Danielle Panabaker to the left and Brenda Song to the right so you know we are Stuck in the Suburbs with you. Might as well join us as we rock to the soundtrack, learn the power of friendship, and relive our youth in the early 2000s.

Emma needs a location and feel a unique mix of tipsy, nostalgic, and emotional. Luke has to translate Emma's nonsense and gets deep.

It's a tale as old as time. Boy meets girl, dumps his lunch on her, and then asks her to be the star of a documentary. Come along as we jump over a big hurdle of awkwardness, try to make sense of this bonkers script, and endure more unexplained vlogging.

Emma relives her popularity and has no follow through. Luke needs a Geography lesson and flexes his film muscles.

Episode 18: Wizard's Duel With Richard Nixon Jan 31, 2018

This month, we try to capture a little magic for the new year by reviewing the mystifying film Now You See It... Not mystifying because it's magic, but because this film is an enigma not even the greatest film theorists could even begin to comprehend. You might as well try one of the many drinking games we suggest with the film and see if that makes anything that happens seem like it is a coherent narrative.

Luke has amnesia about rankings and is here for the high stakes. Emma didn’t learn anyone’s name and has some feelings for Aly Michalka.

Episode 16: Hey, Smartphone Nov 30, 2017

This month we take our second foray into the modern era of DCOMs with 2014's Zapped. We quickly learn that this is almost in no way a remake of the gross sex comedy and is really about Zendaya being bad at mind control and somehow being both feminist and aggressively gendered at the same time.

Luke loves the villains and crushes hard on Zendaya. Emma hates the love interest and wants this power for herself.

It's that time of year again! The leaves fall, a strange chill hangs in the air, and the DCOMedy crew reviews another Halloweentown Movie. This year we tackle Kalabar's Revenge, which has some big improvements...and some huge giant glaring flaws that make it an exhausting watch to say the least.

Bonus Episode 2: Sing to Me Paolo Oct 26, 2017

As an extra sweet October treat, we decided to put on our newsboy caps and go back to the 2000's with the surprisingly theatrically released Lizzie McGuire Movie. Come with us as we journey with Lizzie to Rome as she falls for an absolute creep, is hunted by a sadistic principal, and delivers the most iconic musical performance of a generation.

Luke played himself and proves he can do accent work. Emma is hit with intense flashbacks and is concerned about her Halloween plan. Ashley is sooo ready for this.

As summer draws to a close, we hop into our Time's Arrow Machine to travel back to 2001 with The Poof Point. Join us as we regretfully sink our teeth into this less popular DCOM, and as we realize exactly why that is. We find some truly emotionally scarred human beings who are ruining the lives of their children who really do not take their parent's impending death seriously enough and force us to answer a gross would you rather.

Luke throws shade at Tahj and feels bad about picking this movie. Emma got this confused with 17 Again and enjoys a good 2000's teen party.

This month, we both look to the past and to the future as we celebrate our first anniversary and review the rightfully popular Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Join us as we learn some future languages, explore the wonderful world of 2049 (which looks a lot like Earth in the 1990's with a few floating things and outfits leftover from Tomorrowland), and meet a man who is truly more an icon than a human.

Come along as we follow a young man's passion to cook with way too many montages and discover a character's dark and traumatic past.

Join us as we are again without a guest, as we jump into an homage to the 60's beach movies and cheesy musicals and end up finding a movie built on a series of strong choices, some genuine bops, and the stupidest villains we have seen thus far.

On an unrelated note, this month we are looking at the surprisingly enjoyable classic that is Minutemen. Come along with our hosts and their first guest in a while, Emily (@ThisIsEmeralds), on a genuinely good time travel superhero movie with incomprehensible science and where only one thing is constant: Derek is the WORST.

Episode 9: Emma Wrote This Movie Apr 30, 2017

Much to the dismay of one of our hosts, our look back on Get a Clue is finally here! Come along on a film seemingly written by pulling ideas out of a hat, where children are allowed to participate in a possible murder investigation and have both ridiculous technology and even more ridiculous outfits that make it seem like a rejected crossover between Clueless and The Matrix.

Terribly sorry this one was so late everybody, but if we learned anything from the classic that is Pixel Perfect its that nobody's perfect! Except for a hologram made by a misogynistic and horny teenager that just makes fun of people's weight and does upsetting dance moves in a childrens' movie. Join us as we rediscover a film we remembered well but found the expierience of actually rewatching it to not be enjoyable at all, so that's a good sign...

Sorry this one is tad late folks, but if there were any movie to prove the idea that time has no meaning it would be You Wish! Join Emma and Luke as they take a look at this It's A Wonderful Life ripoff that is really an advertisment for mental health awareness more than anything else.
