Episode 75 - The DCTP Ultimate Bracket Showdown of the Stars and Beyond
April 25, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBWe're mixing it up for our 75th episode extravaganza! We've watched a lot of DCOMs, and even though we haven't seen them all, we thought it would be fun to take our 16 favorite movies and pit them against each other until there's only one left: the #1 DCOM, better than all the others. So go make your favorite Tipsy Panel cocktail and join us to find out if our #1 movie is yours too! Instagram: @disneychanneltipsypanel Twitter: @TipsyPanel Email us: [email protected] DCTP Hot...
Episode 74 - Avalon High
April 11, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 52 MBI have always said that the legend of King Arthur would be more interesting if it took place in Des Moines. This week we watched Avalon High, the 2010 DCOM based on the Meg Cabot book of the same name. It may not have many sword fights or dragons, but it does have infidelity, a guy with "That's So Raven" psychic powers, and a lot of failed attempts at American accents. Fun! Featured Drink: Sagewater from the North
Episode 73 - The Jennie Project
March 14, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBThis week we've got a DCOM that for whatever reason never made it to Disney's streaming service, so we had to watch it in 240p on some website that opens a pop-up every time you click something. We watched The Jennie Project, the 2001 film about a chimpanzee who joins a modern American family and learns to use sign language. The parents are on the brink of divorce and the son worries his dad doesn't love him anymore, but the chimp drives a car which I guess is fun. Featured Drink: Blonde Jennie
Episode 72 - Rip Girls
February 28, 2022 12:00 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBWe tried to manifest some warmer weather with this one -- is it working? We watched Rip Girls, the 2000 coming-of-age DCOM with surfing, summer crushes, inheriting your own Hawaiian plantation... y'know, normal teenager stuff. We have a lot to say about this DCOM dad, and we invited our mom's friend Betty to the studio for a few words. Featured Drink: Hawaiian Punch Punch
Episode 71 - Princess Protection Program
February 07, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBThis week we watched Princess Protection Program, the 2009 DCOM starring Disney Channel powerhouses Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato (and Cousin Greg!). The IMDb trivia section for this movie says that Demi and Selena were best friends while making this movie but "their friendship is now over." So dramatic. It does also say that Jeff Garlin is in this movie, and we're not so sure about that one. Featured Drink: Costa Luna Piña Colada
Episode 70 - Pixel Perfect
January 24, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MBThis week we watched Pixel Perfect, the 2004 DCOM that predicted holographic performers and the metaverse years before they became a reality. Now if someone could also make the holographic cats real, that'd be great. The movie stars "Phil of the Future" lead Raviv Ullman, thus solidifying his status as Disney's "future guy." Featured Drink: Mind Eraser 2.0
Episode 69 - Zenon: Z3
January 10, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBHappy New Year! We watched Zenon: Z3, the final act of everyone's favorite space girl trilogy. They put all their budget into special effects so we could see some very cool, definitely realistic space car racing. See if you can count how many actors are still here from the first movie!(Hint: it is not many) Featured Drink: Cosmic Blush
Episode 68 - Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!
December 24, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBHappy holidays from the DCTP <3 We watched Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!, the 2011 DCOM based on the similarly titled Disney sitcom. This was the last Christmas DCOM for us to watch, so we're obviously going to cover it but we don't have to like it. Featured Drink: Grandpa's Mints
Episode 67 - Going to the Mat
December 06, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBCW: disordered eating This week we watched the 2004 wrestling movie Going to the Mat, starring Y2K Disney icon Andrew Lawrence and featuring a pleasantly surprising appearance from Wayne Brady. We're lucky that James has a history with high school wrestling, so we get an in-depth analysis of how a fat man roll works and what really happens when you need to lose six pounds in two days. Featured Drink: Going to the Matador
Episode 66 - Stepsister from Planet Weird
November 15, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBThis week we watched the 2000 teen alien DCOM Stepsister from Planet Weird, and you know what? I've never wanted to be a bubble more than I do now. If I could leave this ol' flesh bag behind and spend the rest of my days as a ball of gas, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Just don't poke me. Featured drink: Fragile Essence
Episode 65 - Return to Halloweentown
October 31, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBYou know we had to get Halloweentown expert Kate Hyman back in the studio for the final installment of the franchise. Did anyone think that Marnie looked a little different in this one? Nah, maybe it's just me. Featured drink: The Gift
Episode 63 - Under Wraps (1997)
October 18, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBWe're back! Guest star Torie Burmeister joins the DCTP for their triumphant return with the very first DCOM, featuring Bill Fagerbakke (Spongebob Squarepants) as a bumbling mummy. Featured drink: The Mummy (or the Bloody Mummy, if you're feeling frisky)
Episode 64 - Under Wraps (2021)
October 18, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBFor our double-episode premiere, we watched both the 1997 version of Under Wraps and the 2021 remake. Guest star Torie Burmeister returns to help us compare the two and decide which mummy brought their A game and which one is maybe better off as a pillar of dust. Featured drink: No Spoilers
Episode 62 - Starstruck
July 19, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBThis week we're talking all about the 2010 movie Starstruck with guest host Amy Lomuto, our Gen-Z representative and Brandon's sister. (How many sisters does this guy have, anyway??) James is absent but fills the void in our hearts with his take on a Ward 8 cocktail. I would give you little snippets of the plot and our discussion here but I cannot talk about this movie without getting upset and angry, so please listen and offer your sympathies via email.
Episode 61 - Bad Hair Day
July 05, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBThere is nothing more American than a movie where all Europeans are bad by default. We watched Bad Hair Day, the 2015 DCOM starring Laura Marano (Austin & Ally) and Leigh-Allyn Baker (Good Luck Charlie). Mix up a Tommy Gun to make up for the fact that this movie struggled without the presence of a gun.
Episode 60 - Cow Belles
June 14, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBCow Belles is a 2006 DCOM featuring Aly & AJ working at a dairy factory but also solving an embezzlement case?? Idk, don't think too much about it. James mixes up a tasty White Russian and we talk about hoof trimming, awkward middle school AIM moments, and daddy's yogurt.
Episode 59 - The Thirteenth Year
May 24, 2021 11:00 - 58 minutes - 53.1 MBSome thirteen year old boys go through growth spurts and voice cracks, others grow scales and channel electricity in their hands. That's growing up, baby! We watched The Thirteenth Year, the 1999 DCOM about one boy discovering that his swimming skills and love of water might be more than just coincidence. Find the biggest glass you own and mix up a Fish Bowl, then invite your friends over to listen to this movie's title track on repeat all night (just kidding... or not).
Episode 58 - Frenemies
May 10, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBThis week we watched Frenemies, the 2012 Bella Thorne/Zendaya DCOM that boldly asks, "What if a movie were just three episodes of a TV show?" Set aside some time to make James's Frosé(nemies), and after two glasses you'll be just as convinced as we are that this movie was written by an AI.
Episode 57 - Lemonade Mouth
April 12, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBThe 2011 movie Lemonade Mouth follows a high school band as they fight for what they believe in, which happens to be a vending machine. It is important that you watch this movie so you can enjoy Christopher McDonald handling a Segway like it's an extension of his own body. Then mix up a Bourbon brain and listen to our episode to find out which actor was arrested for armed robbery.
Episode 56: Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension
March 29, 2021 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBWe gotta be honest: we all missed the boat on this show growing up so we went into this one pretty blind. But that ended up working out, because this 2011 DCOM is full of pleasant surprises--nobody expects a Lorenzo Lamas joke, a Georgia O'Keeffe joke, and a Kierkegaard joke all within five minutes of each other. So blend up a Dirty Doofenslurper and start slurping while we break down our first animated DCOM, thank our fans for our first Grammy, and answer fan mail from ... Bryan Metz?
Episode 55 - Lots of Luck
March 15, 2021 10:01 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MBA blue-collar family wins it all and loses it all in Lots of Luck, the 1985 Disney Channel movie starring Martin Mull, Annette Funicello, and Fred Willard. You probably haven't seen this one but it's free on YouTube, so put it on in the background while you pretend to do work, then mix up a Bad Luck Sidecar and check out our review. Oh, and did I mention our accountant Marvin is in this movie? He stops by the studio for a hot second but nobody is happy about that. Marvin's a fun sucker.
Episode 54 - The Color of Friendship
March 01, 2021 11:01 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBIt's pleasantly surprising to see what DIsney Channel is capable of when they're not just trying to satisfy their newest star's contract with a movie and a record deal. The Color of Friendship is Disney Channel's look at the horrors of apartheid South Africa with a broader message on racism and equality. It's especially important if, like us, you realize that this conflict was noticeably absent from your history curriculum growing up. We attend to that history, but we also find some time to e...
Episode 53 - Cloud 9
February 15, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 63 MBYou know, this is probably the only DCOM where we witness someone's lung collapsing. It's not like it's graphic or anything, but we watch Will's "epic fail" accident and he says later that his lung collapsed, so yeah. We watched Cloud 9, the 2014 snowboarding DCOM starring Dove Cameron and Luke Benward. Make yourself a Fire & Ice and cozy up for our first episode after a far-too-long hiatus.
Episode 52 - Rock 'n' Roll Mom
November 16, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThis one's coming at ya from the era of glam rock and big hair! Rock 'n' Roll Mom debuted as part of The Disney Sunday Movie in 1988--not a DCOM, but it features Fran Drescher and Joe Pantoliano so we had to give it a watch. If loud outfits, badass moms, and jamming to the same synth rock song a dozen times in an hour are your thing, then I don't have to tell you what to watch tonight. Mix up a Santa Maria Slammer and get gnarly with us, man.
Episode 51 - Halloweentown High
October 31, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 65.3 MB'Tis the season to be spooky! We pulled in resident Halloween expert(TM) Kate Hyman for the third installment in the seasonal DCOM franchise Halloweentown High. I gotta say... they're really wringing the towel dry on this one, aren't they?? I would have expected at least a food fight montage between the scary monsters and the football team. Oh well, at least there's magic. James will teach you how to make a Halloweentown Highball, so DCOM responsibly and congratulate the makeup artist that ma...
Episode 50 - High School Musical 2
October 19, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBYou know we had to do the big one for our 50th episode! This movie beat out Monday Night Football for the most watched basic cable broadcast in 2007, which solidifies our belief that DCOMs are better than sports. James teaches us how to make a Lava Lemonade (tasty tasty) and we talk about how much watching 50 Disney movies has rotted our brains. We also share some DCTP stats, and you might be surprised to find out who's given the fewest thumbs ups...
Quizney Channel 2: Kalabar's Revenge
October 19, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBFifty episodes means another Quizney Channel Tipsy Panel!! Everybody came in with a question round, and we called in a few old friends to quiz us as well. We play DCOMmentary, What's in a Name, DCOM quotes, and more! Plus, Ryan shares some calculated DCTP stats, and an old friend moderates the first-ever DCOM Debates.
Episode 49 - Motocrossed
September 14, 2020 11:01 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBWhether or not you're a fan of the 2001 X-treme motorbike girls-do-it-too DCOM, you cannot deny that this movie holds cultural significance for being the first time an actor has pulled off the emotion "eating fries but sad." I would say "first and only time" but I don't wanna close the door for a sequel. James puts a new spin on an old cocktail with his Rippin' Sidecar, we admire the incredible wardrobe choices throughout the movie, and we actually do a pretty good job predicting what this o...
Episode 48 - Now You See It...
August 24, 2020 10:52 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBNow You See It stars Alyson Michalka as a producer on a magic game show, uncovering the secrets of magician Danny, the mansion they film in, and the show's mysterious host. You can criticize a lot of things about this 2005 movie (and we do) but Frank Langella has gotta be the best DCOM villain out there. I guess that's kind of a spoiler, but you know my man Skeletor doesn't sign onto a Disney film without getting his hands a little dirty. And of course our drink had to be magical as well! Mix...
Episode 47 - Hounded
August 10, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBIf you have ever wondered if it is "suspicious" to haul a sack of meat down a suburban road with a horde of dogs chasing after you, this movie will confirm that yes it is a very suspect thing to do. We watched Hounded, a 2001 DCOM with a standout cast of Tahj Mowry, Shia LaBeouf, and Ed Begley Jr. It's a dog movie, so you already know what it's about: the dog makes a big mess, the dog gets lost at some point, and the bad guy is a rich dog-owner. Maybe what you won't expect is how this movie i...
Episode 46 - A Ring of Endless Light
July 27, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBThis movie is all about breaking records: more awkward kisses, more people drowning, and more live dolphin births than any other DCOM. It's also got Mischa Barton and Jared Padalecki starring alongside each other just a few years before they both hit their TV stride. WIth all these positives, what could possibly go wrong??? Well, lots of things. We suggest you pour yourself a Dolphin Hugger and make it a double, because we can only talk about telepathic Christian dolphins for so long before t...
Episode 45 - The Other Me
July 13, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBRemember that one kid you went to middle school with who only did just enough work to get by? And then one day that kid bought a bunch of sea monkeys and accidentally cloned himself? Yeah, we all know that guy... It also happens to be the plot of the 2000 DCOM The Other Me, starring the always wonderful Andrew Lawrence (and X-Ray from Holes!). James shares his recipe for The Other Me-nhattan aka a Boulevardier, Brennan introduces Tipsy Treatments, and we overanalyze what is without a doubt th...
Episode 44 - Jump In!
June 29, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBFYI the Tipsy Panel is now also a communist hip-hop collective in addition to reviewing DCOMs. We might also start a soup eating spin-off podcast. We're full of ideas. Just like Izzy in Disney Channel's 2007 DCOM Jump In!, featuring an all-star cast of Corbin Bleu, Keke Palmer, and about three years' worth of Degrassi B-characters. Make yourself a Red Hot Chili Shandy, kick back, and enjoy our review of a movie that poses the question "What would happen if we did High School Musical again but...
Episode 43 - Buffalo Dreams
June 15, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBYour favorite dirtheads are going to New Mexico baybee!! We embark on a spiritual journey with nothing but dim sum for our review of the 2005 DCOM Buffalo Dreams. James teaches us how to whip up some tasty Hozho cocktails (with Buffalo Trace, of course) and we jump right into this one, socks and all. Everyone comes up with their best horse names, we list all the awful things that local DIRTDAWG Kyle probably does, and Brennan shares what everyone thought this movie was about before we watched...
Episode 42 - Northern Lights
June 01, 2020 11:01 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBThis movie marks the end of an era: the last Disney Channel Premiere. Two months later, the channel would drop their first DCOM and not stop dropping them for another 23 years. Between Diane Keaton's heavy smoking and some tone deaf wisecracks, Disney probably wants to leave this one in 1997--but we won't let them! James teaches us how to make a Buckeye Borealis and we break down this movie the only way we know how (by yelling about the Ratman). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Black Liv...
Episode 41 - Adventures in Babysitting
May 18, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBUh-oh, the Tipsy Panel got zoom bombed! Everybody's still stuck at home during quarantine, and banned former guest Jared Corwin hacked his way into our discussion of Adventures in Babysitting, the 2016 remake of the (way cooler) 1987 movie of the same title and Disney Channel's 100th DCOM. We let him stay because we're nice people... and already a little tipsy. James teaches us how to make the Psychic Rocket (named after his favorite band), and Ryan proposes a better way to spend 150 hours th...
Episode 40 - Stuck in the Suburbs
April 27, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBWe're back baybee!!! We all got our home studios up and running to discuss Stuck in the Suburbs, an 80-minute movie with 10 minutes of flashback footage and a very out-of-place Stealers Wheel car chase montage (and Brenda Song, who is great as always). James couldn't make us all drinks, but he did come through with a great quarantini recipe! Tune in to find out why Brandon is convinced this is Disney Channel's first lesbian love story.
Episode 39 - Twitches
March 23, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBThe Tipsy Panel has been quarantined! And to make matters worse, they're being held hostage!!! Lots of unfortunate events going on in this one. Our captors Lady and Mae Busch insisted we all watch Twitches, so James whipped up a pitcher of The Darkness and we got right to it. We trash talk Karsh the f**kboy, write our own spells, and discuss which DCOMs have good endings.
Episode 38 - Genius
March 09, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 78.5 MBThis week we have the man of many names in the studio: guest star Kyle McMorrow spends an evening with the Tipsy Panel to discuss Genius, the 1999 DCOM about a whiz kid scientist who takes off his glasses and becomes the "cool guy" despite never saying anything all that cool. The plot may be exceedingly barebones and this movie may have the worst female representation of all time, but it did have a dancing skeleton so that was cool. And what good is a WIsconsin movie without some Wisconsin-st...
Episode 37 - Susie Q
February 24, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBWe're watching Susie Q and drinking Susie Q-cumbers!! Disney Channel stopped airing this movie at the turn of the century due to its depiction of death, profanity, guns, drunk driving, and Amy Jo Johnson's bare back--so obviously, we were all excited for this one. Susie Q is a 1996 Disney Channel Premiere about a girl who dies on her prom night in 1955 and comes back as a ghost forty years later, working with teen boy Zach Sands to prevent her elderly parents from getting evicted. Listen to u...
Episode 36 - Tru Confessions
February 10, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBLook out, there's fruits and vegetables flying all over the place in this one! Guest host Willie Landi sits with the Tipsy Panel to talk about 2002's Tru Confessions, a surprisingly touching DCOM about a girl coping with the needs of her developmentally disabled brother (Shia LaBeouf). James whips up some Mint Truleps, everyone picks the same favorite quote, and Brandon makes an apology.
Episode 35 - Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss
January 27, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBDid you know that Disney Channel produced a sequel to A Christmas Story in 1988? It's not technically a DCOM, but with a name like that how could we not review it? Guest host Sam Greene joins the Tipsy Panel for drinking Fuzzhead's Navels and rating a movie about Kangaroo Jack going on a family vacation with his dad Hunter S. Thompson (who is also a hunk). Check it out!
Episode 34 - Dadnapped
January 13, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBFor our first episode of the new year, we brought filmmaker Jared Corwin back into the studio to talk about Dadnapped, a 2009 DCOM with a powerhouse cast of Disney Channel stars including Emily Osment, David Henrie, and Phill Lewis. Since this one's all about a dad, James gets us drinking like dads with some Coors Light and Michelob Ultra. Listen to us create our own Tripp Zoome inventions and try to figure out what exactly is going on with the Zoomer convention.
Episode 33 - Zenon: The Zequel
December 30, 2019 12:01 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBHappy New Year!! We've got guest star Zoe Vock back in the studio for our review of Zenon: The Zequel, the 2001 movie that had to recast nearly half of the main characters from the first movie. James makes us Ouzotinis for the occasion, and we talk all our favorite future slang terms and which Zenon movie had the better Proto Zoa song.
Episode 32 - 'Twas the Night
December 23, 2019 12:01 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBIt's the holiday season, which means the Tipsy Panel makes double the cocktails and hopes nobody brings up politics at the dinner table. Guest host Chris Dougherty joins us for our review of 'Twas the Night, the 2001 Christmas film about con man Nick (Bryan Cranston) and his nephew stealing Santa's sleigh after jolly ol' Saint Nick knocks himself unconscious. It's basically a stoner comedy but, you know...for Disney. Check it out!
Episode 31 - Can of Worms
December 09, 2019 14:33 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBWe’ve got a weird one for you this week! We watched the largely forgotten 1999 DCOM Can of Worms, about a boy who accidentally exposes the world to spambot aliens and an adult-sized collectaholic frog. James makes us our very own can of worms, everyone decides whether they want to go to space, and we introduce our fact-checker Marvin.
Episode 30 - High School Musical
November 25, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBWe finally did it!!! High School Musical is by far the most popular DCOM ever, and we wanted to celebrate our review and 30th episode with a very special guest. Listen to us drink Chimayos (the national cocktail of New Mexico), list off the insane amount of media within the HSM franchise, and help two grown men figure out what it was about this movie that took the nation by storm.
Episode 29 - The Cheetah Girls
November 11, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBCheetah-licious! NYC playwright and DCOM expert Gianfranco Lentini enters the Tipsy Panel studio to talk iconic outfits, outrageous shades, and bop after bop after bop in The Cheetah Girls, the 2003 girl-group tour de force that spawned three North American tours and Disney Channel's first musical franchise. Ever wonder what Hogwarts house each of the Cheetah Girls would be in? We got you covered.
Episode 28 - Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge
October 28, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBResident expert on all things spooky Kate Hyman joins us again for our review of Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge! James brews up a Skeleton Key, everybody gets cursed with the normie spell, and we find the spookiest names in the credits.
Episode 27 - Double Teamed
October 07, 2019 11:00 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MBGuest host Lindsay Arader joins us in the Tipsy Panel studio to talk about the iconic girls basketball DCOM, Double Teamed! James makes a California Collins, Brandon teaches everyone the different types of sports, and we have our first DCOM Mom Moment.
