We had to do it for y'all! In celebration of our 50th episode (not a remarkable feat for a 3 year old podcast but just give us this), we've decided to review Rebecca's WORST RANKED DCOM OF ALL TIME. Except is it maybe the best? Tune in for the Origin Story of the famous Debby Ryan smirk on TikTok and other absolutely wild cinematic moments... seriously guys, how did this get made?

Episode 49: The Cheetah Girls 3

August 02, 2020 18:55 - 55 minutes - 54.7 MB

Is it possible that there was one too many Cheetah Girls movies?! After contending this for an hour we decide that the answer is probably yes. Listen anyways for another full ep of Adrienne Bailon stanning! We also discuss Zac Efron's zaddy status, the Zoey 101 reunion and Rebecca's DCOM rankings article that made some people V upset. (Read the article here: https://www.vulture.com/article/best-disney-channel-original-movies-ranked.html and tell em we sent you ;) ) Complain to us about h...

Episode 48: The Cheetah Girls 2

May 07, 2020 03:55 - 1 hour - 67 MB

Amigas Cheetahs wuh? After a LONG deep dive into the current state of the Cheetah Girls' IRL friendship woes, we dive right into the long-awaited sequel that might just be better than the original! It's because it includes Marisol in the cast, and tbh this episode is just a Marisol appreciation podcast. And we love the Cheetah Boys so much. Also: can you read sheet music and immediately know what a song will sound like? Is your name Aquanetta? If you answered yes to any of these questions,...

Episode 47: The Cheetah Girls

April 12, 2020 02:10 - 57 minutes - 58.6 MB

Break glass in case of emergency! We're here to bless your quarantines with the highly anticipated Cheetah Girls. It's so important that Rebecca had to phone in! If there was one word to describe this movie, it would be "iconique". If there were three, it would be "dog in hole". Don't remember that part? Get ready to relive your dreams (the Cheetah Girls part) and your nightmares (the Global Get Down part). Rawr! If you're a real cool cat or kitten, follow us on Instagram @dcomgroupies or...

Episode 46: Alley Cats Strike

March 19, 2020 01:45 - 52 minutes - 52.5 MB

Happy quarantining! As a gift from us to you, after two months of radio silence we are (after much anticipation) releasing an episode we recorded a month ago that will give you anxiety! We did Hayley Kiyoko. You know we had to do Kaley Cuoco. Did you know she was in a 2000's movie about bowling and swing dance? Also included: a 20 min conversation between Jackie and Rebecca trying to figure out if the movie was filmed at their high school (it wasn't). And a 10 minute discussion about if ...

Episode 45: Freaky Friday

January 17, 2020 03:20 - 50 minutes - 51.9 MB

This movie is so bad but you have to listen to this ep because Coach Bolton sent Jackie a personal message!!!!! Besides that, sorry to disappoint but this is the 2018 remake of Freaky Friday and it is BAD. Lindsay Lohan is not in it. But Coach Bolton!! You'll love this ep! Complain to us about how you hate this movie @dcomgroupies See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 44: You Wish!

December 25, 2019 03:05 - 57 minutes - 59.8 MB

Ho Ho Ho y'all! We're back with a (non-holiday, just holiday-adjacent) ep full of Pure Lalaine Content™ to get you through your break. You Wish! is a movie that no one wished for, since we've had maybe 5 of these DCOM's with essentially the same premise. But it stars the one-named icon Lalaine so we're thrilled!!! We also discuss our experience catching up on Disney+, Lizzie McGuire reboot goss, and our very thorough hot takes on Toronto Grocery Stores. Bet you wished for that! Follow yo...

Episode 43: Now You See It...

November 13, 2019 02:58 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

Because we haven't talked about Aly and AJ enough on this podcast, we thought we would bring yet another Aly Michalka project to light - Now You See It...! We kind of wish we *hadn't* seen it, but that's okay since this movie has everything a 2005 tween could want: a teen working an adult profession, teen boys with puka shell necklaces, layered tanks, and Creationism! Do ~you~ believe in magic? It's real as can be on our Instagram @dcomgroupies! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt...

Episode 42: Phantom of the Megaplex

October 30, 2019 01:53 - 1 hour - 64.6 MB

“The one where Jackie and Rebecca repeatedly dunk on a little old man” That’s what we’d call this episode if we were Friends. But we’re not. We’re just friends! Friends who host a podcast about Disney Channel Original Movies. And this week? We’re getting ooky and we’re certainly getting spooky with a Halloween pick that isn’t Halloweentown: Phantom of the Megaplex. This one has all the makings of a good DCOM: shot in Toronto, about the magic of movies, sassy younger siblings, late 90s/early...

Episode 41: Lemonade Mouth

September 30, 2019 03:01 - 1 hour - 73.4 MB

Poets. Geniuses. Visionaries. All of these words have been used to describe Disney Channel Original Groupies, but that’s not the whole story. Follow us down a high school basement elevator on a journey of 2011 scene kid haircuts, cheap Darbus rip-offs, and hidden post credit bonus features while we stand up for what’s right and speak the truth about what really matters: vending machines. That’s right, we’re looking at Lemonade Mouth, so get ready to bask in Hayley Kiyoko’s innate star powe...

Episode 40: Double Teamed

September 04, 2019 10:00 - 51 minutes - 57.2 MB

As 25 year old women who talk about children's movies for hobby, we can relate to the 40 year old women who play 14 year olds in Double Teamed! Featuring an actress named Teal, unhealthy father-daughter relationships, and sports content you don't care about, Double Teamed is the movie you remember liking, but you're not sure why. Sports are everywhere! Let us have the Disney Channel without sports content! Enough sports!!!!!! We also chat Lizzie McGuire and Reboot Culture, more shenanigans...

Episode 39: Wish Upon A Star

August 21, 2019 04:07 - 56 minutes - 61 MB

Our last pre-recorded ep until we get back into the PRESSIN' Disney News. A Disney Channel Premiere film that has: 1) no clear moral 2) sechuality 3) Katherine Heigl 4) magic = A GREAT EPISODE FOR US TO RECORD but not a great movie to watch so just listen to this ep and do not watch the actual film! Want to know if your favourite DCOM's aged well, even a little bit, as this one surely did not? Send us your requests at [email protected]! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-ou...

Episode 38: Stuck in the Suburbs

July 25, 2019 03:20 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB

BONJOURNO! (Italian for "we back yo!") Our hiatus is o-ver and we came back just in time to discuss how our hiatus couldn't have come at a worse time for Disney news since SO much has happened. Oopsie! We catch up on what's been going on in our lives and then discuss Stuck in the Suburbs, one of the very finest Disney DCOM's the world has been sleeping on. It's just Taran Killam as a Bieber-esque popstar and we're attracted????? Sing us your truths (both the pop version and the acoustic g...

Episode 37: High School Musical 3

April 09, 2019 20:39 - 1 hour - 62.5 MB

"Who says we have to let it go?" is kiiiiiiiiiind of the motto for our entire enterprise of two adult women talking about DCOMs, so this capper to our HSM saga is major. It's also our only episode that's about a Real Actual In Movie Theatres Movie, so you know the wait is WORTH IT. We're back with the gang one last time - Zefron, Vanessa, and....uh... Rocketman. And whether you're a friend a fan or a Juilliard recruiter, find us on Insta, Twitter @dcomgroupies, or [email protected]. Se...

Episode 36: High School Musical 2

February 20, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MB

What time is it?! Time for another series of songs insinuating an incestuous brother-sister duo, Ryan and Sharpay! We're reviewing the sequel to The Holy HSM Trilogy that is supes weird. Mostly because it doesn't have enough Darbus, but also a bit because it continues to portray Albuquerque as a country club hot spot. We also discuss the serious investigation into Corbin Bleu's many Wikipedia pages, where he is among the ranks of Jesus, Barack Obama and Elvis. We didn't see a problem with ...

Episode 35: High School Musical

January 30, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 77.6 MB

As two grown women who talk into microphones about Disney Channel for fun, we invented "stick to the stuff you know." And this week? We're about to pop, lock, break, and jam as we go back to the start (of something new/Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron's careers) with High School Musical. Bop bop bop, bop to this pod as we marvel at Ashley Tisdale's old face (?), Drew Seely (?), twincest (?), and Ryan's illiteracy (?). Get cha head in the inbox (sorry) and email us, [email protected].

Episode 34: Susie Q

January 09, 2019 17:52 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

2018 is over, we're outta the woods/in the clear, but we're immediately hopping back in Sexy 2019 Phil of the Future's time machine for a trip to 1996 B.D.E. (Before DCOM Era....#thankunext) to look at our first Disney Premiere joint, Susie Q. With more awkward nudity than your average DCOM joint, but just the usual amount of sassy siblings, dead parents, and basketball tournaments, Susie's a doozy! Don't ghost us!

Episode 33: The Ultimate Christmas Present

December 23, 2018 04:39 - 53 minutes - 55.3 MB

Picture this: a cute made for TV Christmas movie, but it's Not Good! We're takin' it back to the year 2000 when Santa had a summer home in LA that he lived in (not in the summer) and when Brenda Song was not given the chance she deserved to shine! How did Disney, the maker of all great TV movies mess up the literal easiest genre of TV movie out there? Not fierce!

Episode 32: Full Court Miracle

December 07, 2018 22:02 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

Episode 31: Frenemies

November 14, 2018 04:39 - 51 minutes - 53.8 MB

Not since Hilary and Christy has there been a DCOM pairing as powerful as (Bitch I’m) Bella Thorne and Zendaya, of Meechee fame, starring in the 2012 triptych FRENEMIES, a movie so off-the-mark it seems like it was written by someone who’s never??? had???? a friend????????? (Says Rebecca: “Less pleasant than a frenema!”) Still, if you want to hear about Love, Simon’s origin story, or a lukewarm Parent Trap rehash, or a poodle named Beyonce, you’re gonna wanna listen to this one! And give u...

Episode 30: Halloweentown

October 31, 2018 02:34 - 54 minutes - 57.7 MB

Being normal is VASTLY overrated....but is this Halloween classic? This week, the Disney Channel Original Groupies take a trip to Halloweentown, where the only thing scarier than the monsters is how low their costume budget seemed to be! We cover it all from Debbie Reynolds appreciation to some spoooooky Harry Potter parallels, and as always, we're much more Bubble Bubble than Toil and Trouble Follow us on Twitter, @DCOMGroupies!

Episode 29: Invisible Sister

October 12, 2018 17:44 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MB

Episode 28: Tiger Cruise

September 13, 2018 03:22 - 1 hour - 62 MB

When Lady Gaga sang “we’re far from the shallow now,” what she clearly meant to say was: DCOG is back and we’re doing our THIRD nautical-themed movie in a row! In our Tiger Cruise ep, we: -Deep dive into the HSM reboot -Issue a heartfelt apology to Dylan Sprouse -Read some gorgeous fan mail -Offer a critical analysis of a young Hayden Panettiere’s acting choices #thesummerofmoisture @DCOMGroupies | [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 27: The Suite Life Movie

August 30, 2018 22:57 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

Ahoy groupies! We're back from summer vacay on the S.S. Tipton, and we've got a weird one on deck! We're looking at The Suite Life Movie in all its overgrown-3-years-too-late-Bieber-cut glory, and spoiler alert: it's nothing like what you're expecting. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? You'll have to listen to find out! (It's a bad thing.) Also, some reporting on current global affairs. Jk, some reporting on Cole and Dylan and Debby Ryan. And as always, merge up with us at dcomgroupies@gm...

Episode 26: The Thirteenth Year

July 30, 2018 03:37 - 58 minutes - 56.3 MB

We are in a proper Mood this episode, probably because we're talking about a 13-year old boy turning into not a mermaid, but a merMAN! Jackie has many questions about all of it, and the concept of a fish going to school in a wheelchair comes up twice! We also have a very important Aly & AJ discovery we forgot to mention last episode, and Rebecca reports back v enthusiastically from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. TL;DR The Shape of Water ripped off The Thirteenth Year, thank you for coming t...

Episode 25: Cow Belles

July 08, 2018 04:02 - 55 minutes - 54.4 MB

Moo’s ready for an-udder episode of DCOG? (Was that too much?) This week we’re watching Aly and AJ’s answer to “The Simple Life”: the iconique 2006 Cow Belles. If you like your phones flip, your love interests French, and your other love interests farmers, this is definitely not the time to potentially break up with the pod. Plus, Jackie reports back from the historic Aly & AJ comeback concert, and we learn more than we thought we ever needed to know about cow placenta. Like whoa! Follow ...

Episode 24: Zombies

June 21, 2018 03:14 - 59 minutes - 60.2 MB

We are hip! With! The! Kids! This week we're talkin' Zombies, Disney's latest (!!) DCOM (**at the time of posting**). Because it's 2018, apparently our DCOM's now need to have references to the conflict in the Middle East and segregation?? This episode is a wild ride. Rugh rah huh hah!

Episode 23: Starstruck

June 04, 2018 00:39 - 53 minutes - 54.6 MB

Sterling Knight! Sterling Knight! Like Jackie and Rebecca, do you high-key fantasize about being just an ~ordinary girl~ who gets swooped away by a famous pop star?

May 16, 2018 03:27 - 39 minutes - 41.4 MB

We're back from our break! Rebecca's done her exams and ~ready to party~ except not actually because this week we're talking about the Emmy-nominated Color of Friendship and it's so beautiful and pure and perfect and don't you dare try and force us to say anything bad about it!!!!

Episode 20: You Lucky Dog

April 08, 2018 02:38 - 36 minutes - 26 MB

Well we were certainly not lucky in recording this! Come join us on this journey (that Rebecca literally recorded under a desk!) as we ask the question "why is this movie a thing?" In this *ruff* ep, we examine Kirk Cameron's evangelism and DCOMs with only one child in them. Rebecca also makes a strong case for why Danny DeVito should have been the voice of Lucky the dog. If you have a dog, they might really like this movie? Can't say the same for humans. Follow us on Twitter, @DCOMGroupi...

Episode 19: Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior

March 27, 2018 04:29 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MB

Is Rebecca a bit too into this movie? Probably. Do Claire's-es bankruptcy woes spell trouble for Jackie's yearning to recreate the pageboy hat and chunky necklace combos of the mid-2000s? Yes. Are these things related? You'll have to listen to our RAVE review of Brenda Song star vehicle Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior to find out. We talk about people named Polly, we talk about Brenda dating Macaulay, (see what we did there?) and we pitch a Passover DCOM. Come get these cookies! See acast.com/p...

March 09, 2018 05:46 - 53 minutes - 39.6 MB

Taste the rainbow! Podcast the rainbow! This week we’re looking at the 2001 equal-opportunity-offender, Luck of the Irish, a movie that puts the ‘oy’ in boyo.

Have you met Twilight's younger brother, Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire? This film features everything you could ever want in a 2000 DCOM - high-speed internet, a Sabrina the Teenage Witch alum, and rockabilly music. We also continue our promise of talking about the issues by discussing the spookiest topic of all - Lizzie McGuire's dad Sam's foray into adult film acting. Sorry, but it's a thing that happened. ~*SpOoKy*~ Want to stay informed on other pressing issues facing our society t...

Episode 11: Horse Sense

November 10, 2017 13:25

Howdy stranger, you new 'round these parts? Disney Channel Original Groupies is a biweekly nostalgia-trip, where we look at DCOMs in no particular order and get i-n-t-o i-t h-o-n-e-y. And this week, we're putting the 'ho' in 'howdy' as we rassle with 1999 Lawrence brothers (remember them? us neither!) movie, "Horse Sense."

We're looking at Sister Sister with a witchy twist, 2005's Twitches! Did you know the "Tw" in "Twitches doesn't stand for "teen," but for "Tia and Tamera were twenty seven when they filmed this?" Spooky! Learn that and more on this week's ep! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 8: Adventures in Babysitting

September 30, 2017 00:45

If DCOMs lean on one plot device besides “expressing yourself creatively to get the team to regionals,” it’s “two opposites learn an important lesson by respecting each other’s differences.” And since there’s no such thing as regionals for childcare, this week we’re doing the whole “opposites attract” thing for this 2016 DCOM remake of the 1987 video store staple, Adventures in Babysitting! Did it need to be updated? Probably not. But does this one have actually-good child actors, a dog named...

Episode 7: Get A Clue
