'Twas the Night Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

Did you think the main character in The Santa Clause was an idiot because he didn't use Santa's powers exclusively for crime? Someone at the Disney Channel in 2001 certainly did, which is how we ended up with the DCOM Andy and Luke are talking about this week, 'Twas the Night.

Somehow starring Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston, 'Twas the Night tells the story of scam artist Nick Wrigley who ends up in charge of Santa's sleigh and goes on a breathtaking crime spree across town with his nephew Danny in tow. Will Danny figure out he's an accomplice to Grand Theft Xmas? Can Danny's brother and sister help Santa get his sleigh back? Why does Nick keep stealing so much furniture? Listen and find out!

If you've watched 'Twas the Night and have your own thoughts, email them to us at momcantcookpod@gmail.com for a chance to have them read out on the show. We're taking a short holiday break and will see you again on January 9th!

Now You See It... Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Great news, magic fans! Also, terrible news, magic haters! This week's episode features a *lot* of magic talk, so brace yourselves accordingly.

This week, Luke and Andy are talking about Now You See It... (2005), a Disney Channel Original Movie about a wildly confusing reality TV show that aims to find the world's greatest kid magician, the world's greatest kid producer, and also possibly the world's greatest kid cameraman. Then it decides halfway through that actually, that's boring and it's about warring sorcerers now. Why is this show's format so strange? What is Mystic Max's whole deal? And why do people keep running off into halls of mirrors? Listen and find out!

In a last hurrah for Halloween, we're back with a live episode that deals with two of the scariest things imaginable: vampires, and dating in your thirties.

This week, Luke and Andy are sinking their teeth into Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire (2000), a Disney Channel Original Movie horror-comedy in which the Hansen kids become concerned they've set their mom Lynette up on a date with man who may be more of a bloodthirsty creature of the night than his dating profile suggested. Will the vampire get Lynette under his thrall? Can noted vampire hunter Malachi Van Helsing stand in his way? Is that a rare beanie baby in the background of one of the scenes? Let's find out! Thanks also to Loading Bar for hosting us for this live episode of Mom Can't Cook!

Halloweentown Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Spooky season is here, podcast fans, and we're celebrating the only way we know how - by watching a DCOM with the word Halloween in the title.

This week, Andy and Luke are talking about Halloweentown, a seasonal story about a young girl called Marnie who discovers that her grandmother is a witch who lives in a magical place called Halloweentown, where it's Halloween all year round, and the residents are all monsters of varying levels of attention to detail, depending on how close they are to the camera.

But all is not well in Halloweentown, and so Marnie and her siblings set out to save Grandma's home from an evil presence that threatens to take over not just the town, but the entire world. Will Marnie unlock her witchy powers in time to stop the presence? Does it really count as being a monster if you're just wearing a Shrek mask and cargo shorts? How did this movie get three sequels? Let's find out!
