Rip Girls Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

What if Johnny Tsunami were a lot less fun, and a lot more about probate law and real estate deals? That's the question no one asked that was answered by Rip Girls (2000)!

Sydney Miller is a 13 year old girl who suddenly finds herself the owner of a large parcel of land in Hawaii after a distant relative leaves it to her in their will. But it turns out that Hawaii holds painful memories for her overprotective father, who left the island after Sydney's mother was killed in a mysterious accident that happened in some kind of large body of water, while riding some kind of board, on some kind of 'wave'. What could possibly have happened to Sydney's mother? Will Sydney sell the farm to evil property developers who want to turn it into a sensitively developed eco resort? Or will she become a cattle farmer while her dad opens a school for stray horses up on the hill?

High School Musical Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

High School Musical was a watershed moment for Disney Channel Original Movies, when they crossed over from odd, throwaway curiosities about mermen and telepathic horses, into huge mainstream success, with hit albums, merchandise and two bona fide stars in the form of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

With all that being said however, it is still recognisably a DCOM, thanks to such unmissable genre conventions as a vaguely nonsensical plot, a budget of about $40, and of course, a weapons-grade Bad Dad. Listen on for our thoughts on this most famous of DCOMs, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, monthly livestream watchalongs, or a shoutout at the end of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

The Even Stevens Movie Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

The Even Stevens Movie (2003) is the culmination of three years and 65 episodes of television, which we have seen precisely none of. However, that's not going to stop us from recapping this wild movie, in which the Stevens family think they've won a dream vacation to a paradise island, only to end up unwitting participants in a cruel reality show.

Having seen none of Even Stevens, it's hard to know what's a beloved Even Stevens Bit, and what is unconnected nonsense concocted for the movie. For example, is Louis Stevens always building sex chairs in the show? Is there really a cool teen character called Alan Twitty? Why is the character of Beans... full stop. Listen as we try to find answers, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

If you've watched The Even Stevens Movie and have your own thoughts, email them to us at momcantcookpod@gmail.com for a chance to have them read out on the show.

My Date with the President's Daughter Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

When Hallie decides to escape her handlers for a wild night of mayhem, hijinks ensue. Is this the worst secret service ever? What scandal is the President embroiled in now, and what's going to happen when Wesley Snipes finds these clowns filming this movie on his set?

Go Figure May 27, 2024

Show notes

Ice. What is it? Science can only begin to guess. But without it we would not have figure skating or ice hockey, the two sports at the heart of this week's DCOM, Go Figure.

Katelin Kingsford is a world class figure skater, but to afford training from the world's top coach she must accept an ice hockey scholarship to a prestigious school. Will Katelin be able to balance her figure skating, ice hockey and academic studies? Can she prevent her new team mates from discovering her shameful twirl girl secret? And why is her brother building a killer robot? Listen to find out, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

Pixel Perfect May 13, 2024

Show notes

How many great bands have never found mainstream success because their lead singer stands there singing, instead of rolling around on the floor doing yoga and the splits and stuff? It is literally millions.

That's the predicament the band The Zettabytes find themselves in in Disney Channel Original Movie Pixel Perfect - that is until they meet Loretta Modern, who can sing, dance and is, regrettably, a sex hologram made by the world's worst boy. Will the band's original singer adapt to being usurped by a hologram? Why isn't the boy in prison? And how is this film accidentally full of trenchant observations about the perils of generative AI?

The Scream Team Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

We're halfway to Halloween, Mom Can't Cook fans, so what better way to celebrate than with a spooky DCOM! This week it's 2002's The Scream Team, which is, confusingly, about a group of ghosts called The Soul Patrol.

It's also about Ian and Claire, two kids whose grandfather passes away, but unfortunately gets his soul crushed in the fist of an evil dead inventor called Zachariah Kull. And also about an insulting Halloween festival that Zachariah Kull is annoyed about? But also mostly about natural gas! And the Soul Patrol are there, occasionally! Good times.

Miracle in Lane 2 Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Miracle in Lane 2 tells the inspirational story of Justin Yoder, the first person with a disability to compete in the All American Soapbox Derby, and also presumably the first person to sit in a Disney screening room watching a movie about his life that inexplicably features loads of scenes of his parents going to town on each other.

Frankie Muniz plays Justin, a plucky kid searching for a sport in which he can compete at the same level as his athletic brother Seth (So Weird's Patrick Levis). When he discovers soap box derby racing, it seems like Justin has found his calling, but will the set in their ways derby association allow him to compete with his modified car? Will crusty local misanthrope Old Man Vic share his wealth of soapbox knowledge with this wannabe racer? Is the driver essentially ballast? Listen and find out!

Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

The iconic good-vibes surfin', boardin' legend from Johnny Tsunami (1999) makes a glorious return to the Disney Channel in 'Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board' (2007)!

Johnny returns to O‘ahu, Hawaii for his grandfather's wedding, but finds the island paradise under the cruel yoke of a gang of mountainboarding teens! Can Johnny save his increasingly large family from the poisonous influence of these bad dudes and their strikingly terrible extreme sport? Why won't his tiny uncle stop slipping through the fabric of reality? And is Johnny Tsunami a business genius, or is he just really high? As with all DCOMs, Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board poses more questions than it offers answers.

The Jennie Project Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

Apes. What are they all about? Can we trust them? Are they going to go ballistic and destroy our houses? If only there were some way we could ask them.

Well friends, there is: sign language, the communication method that can be learned by apes. Unfortunately the ape in this movie, Jennie, isn't really interested in learning sign language, and is more interested in ape carnage and killing the mailman. Will Jennie be able to adjust to living with a human family? How quickly is she going to destroy all of their relationships? And can an ape go to prison?
