Phantom of the Megaplex Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

17 year old Pete Riley thinks he has it pretty tough. He's the assistant manager of a huge cinema, there's a big Hollywood premiere happening tonight, and he's friends with like, 37 named characters that this film expects us to keep track of. An impossible task for a movie audience, let alone one stressed boy.

But buckle up folks, because Pete's evening is about to get a whole lot weirder as a mysterious phantom starts stalking his megaplex, messing with the screenings, terrorising the customers and threatening to ruin the premiere. Will Pete be able to unmask the phantom and save the show? How is the phantom doing any of this? Why is Mickey Rooney in this film? The answers to these questions and more, await!

Ready to Run Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever wish horses could speak to you? Perhaps in the voice of outrageous funnyman Sinbad? Then what you need, friend, is la confianza de caballos, otherwise known as the confidence of horses.

When 14 year old wannabe jockey Corrie gains this incredible gift, as well as her own racehorse, the self-doubting stallion Thunderjam, her whole world is turned upside down. But will Corrie and Thunderjam be able to weather the storms of a disapproving mother, an evil rival horse owner, and a literal clown to win the big race? Yes, obviously, this is a Disney movie.

Get a Clue Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

This week on Mom Can't Cook, Luke and Andy delve into a most perplexing mystery: just what the hell is going on in the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie Get a Clue.

The film stars Lindsay Lohan as Lexy Gold, an aspiring journalist whose scoop on a secret relationship between her teachers kicks off a twisty, intriguing mystery that lasts a good 45 minutes before it completely falls apart into Scooby Doo-style farce. Which honestly, is pretty good going! You'll get it next time, Disney Channel.

Zenon: The Zequel Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

When we last saw Zenon Kar, star of Disney Channel Original Movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, she'd become a hero after saving her space station from a baffling plot that was something to do with insurance fraud, I think.

But now Zenon is back for Zenon: The Zequel (2001), and facing a new threat to her home, as well as the possibility of alien life who are really into rockstar Proto Zoa. Will Zenon save her home, again? What do the aliens want with the lead singer of Microbe? And why do they keep saying "blow an O-ring", even though we all know what it means now? Join Andy and Luke to find out!

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

Cadet Kelly Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Ten hut, maggots, this week Mom Can't Cook! is off to military academy, with all the discipline, uniformity and wild, flamboyant gun twirling that that entails.

That's because we're talking about Cadet Kelly (2002), a film in which feisty, artistic teen Kelly Collins (Hillary Duff) is forced to attend military school after her new stepdad is made Commandant. Along the way she'll face tough commanding officers, struggle to maintain her individuality, and for some reason, become extremely good at gun dancing, which is apparently a highly prized skill in the US military. Who knew?

Alley Cats Strike Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Peel your ears and get hip to this, daddy-os, Mom Can't Cook! is making the scene with a flick that is as confusingly 1950s as this sentence.

That's right, it's Alley Cats Strike, a film about an unpleasant group of 1950s obsessed, bowling-loving outcasts who are suddenly thrust into the limelight when they find themselves as the town's last hope to win a prestigious, apple-themed sporting tournament. Can they act non 1950s long enough to carry the town to glory? Will a normal person be able to join their ranks and not lose his temper and punch all of them? How many failed apple harvests will it take for this town to go full Wicker Man? The answers to these questions and more, await!

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

Stuck in the Suburbs Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

What if a huge pop star accidentally swapped phones with a teenage fan? Seems like the sort of thing his PA would fix in about 15 minutes, right? Well not in Stuck in the Suburbs (2004), because you wouldn't believe how long it takes to sort out or how many low speed bicycle chases are involved.

The phone in question belongs to pop sensation Jordan Cahill, and ends up in the possession of Brittany Aarons, a Jordan superfan and aspiring musician who is thrilled to have a connection to her favourite singer. But after her and her friend Natasha invade his privacy, blackmail him, and extort him in a legally actionable way, they start to realise that Jordan may have a deeper side that his record company is keeping under wraps.

Jumping Ship Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

Buckle up, DCOM fans, because this week we present a crossover event easily as momentous as Avengers Endgame: all three Lawrence brothers in a single movie!

That movie is Jumping Ship, a canonical sequel to Horse Sense, which you'll remember was a story about a spoiled rich kid learning about honest down home folks who keep it real by owning horses and operating enormous ranches. What might surprise you is that this film contains almost no horses, and is instead a story about ancient temples and bloodthirsty pirates in Australia. Why? Your guess is as good as ours!

Stepsister From Planet Weird Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

It can be challenging when parents decide to remarry, and if your Dad is a sentient bubble of pink gas in political exile (?!) from the planet Zircalon, well it probably doesn't help matters.

Welcome to Stepsister From Planet Weird (2000), in which Andy and Luke find themselves at the base of podcasting Everest -- tasked with recapping what is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most bizarre DCOM they've faced to date. Expect unhinged aliens, extreme sports and a narrative structure that would make Kurosawa's head spin.

If you've watched Stepsister From Planet Weird and have your own thoughts, email them to us at momcantcookpod@gmail.com for a chance to have them read out on the show.
