(At least for this show) With Special Sibling and Sister expert, Ann! This week's movie provides thrills and chills in a perfectly timed filmic experience.

May 17, 2017 15:35 - 40 minutes - 49.5 MB

May 03, 2017 13:22 - 56 minutes - 72.7 MB

23: Descendants and The Pink Princess

February 08, 2017 17:07 - 1 hour - 61.2 MB

The children of villains are titular characters of this Kenny Ortega fueled, pubescent version of Once Upon A Time. Maia and Adair give this movie the kind of careful consideration that the creative staff never did. We #learnnewthingsaboutfriends while drinking their way to casting coincidences, lazy naming of children, unorthodox genetics, and shapeshifting in proportion to love in your heart. Yep, it's that kind of movie.

22: Smart House and Egg Nog

January 25, 2017 16:21 - 56 minutes - 50.6 MB

THE FUTURE IS HERE! Brought to you by LeVar Burton! Adair and Maia welcome Ann (Adair's sister!) to the show for the DCOM we can all say predicted the Nest Thermostat, Oculus Rift, and the finale of Son's of Anarchy. Smart House was one of the seminal DCOM's of Adair and Ann's childhoods, so the pressure is on! Will it still be good? Will it have bad parenting? Is it straight up racist as sh*t? Turn it up and find out.

21: The 13th Year and The Dark and Stormy

January 11, 2017 14:27 - 1 hour - 55.4 MB

Mermaids, man. Mermen? Whatever, puberty is weird. The gang's all here, Adair and Maia welcome back Megan and Amanda for a movie we all remember fondly.

December 28, 2016 17:58 - 5 minutes - 6.17 MB

Maia and Adair would like to share a very special holiday treat with you. Deep in the lab, all the Secret Weapons Productions Team got together to make a special episode. A holiday episode!

20: Luck of The Irish and Irish Cream

December 14, 2016 17:54 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MB

Maia and Adair are back with another of the O.G DCOMs. Mentioned often in the same fond breath as Zenon and Brink by many a 90's child, Luck of The Irish is remembered fondly. But like so many DCOMs, it is also remembered vaguely. Was it good? Did it teach a lesson worth teaching? Were the parents just awful? (Yes. They always are.) Don't worry, Amanda and Megan are back to help get to the bottom of this. Heritage, theft, slavery, and basket ball help to make this movie more thematically in...

19: The Even Stevens Movie and Thanksgiving

November 30, 2016 15:30 - 54 minutes - 51.7 MB

Many origins are dark, and some are even racist! The Even Stevens movie may not be the origin of that property, but it may very well be the origin of the crazy that is Shia LaBeouf! This DCOM is one for the racist, sexually suggestive ages. Megan and Max join your hosts on the couch for a wine powered adventure through a movie that is not entirely like the TV show it is based on.

18: Star Struck and Bloody Marys

November 16, 2016 15:26 - 50 minutes - 46.8 MB

The troubling tropes aside, this brunch filled episode takes us down Memory Lane with pit stops at Stocking Seth Green Boulevard, Passport to Paris Place, and Don't Trust Austin Avenue. So grab your candied bacon, the lyrics to Hamilton, and a crippling need to drink.

17: The Cheetah Girls and Grapefruit Mimosas

November 02, 2016 12:00 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB

Maia and Adair are joined by Rory (who is an honorary Cheetah Girl in the eyes of Secret Weapon Productions.) This leopard print romp down memory lane is powered by Grapefruit mimosas, girl groups, old time-y porn radio plays, the reboot of That's So Raven, and Kenny Oretga.

14: Cow Belles and White

September 21, 2016 11:19 - 40 minutes - 40 MB

13: Johnny Kapahala and Pineapple Margaritas

September 07, 2016 13:40 - 49 minutes - 41.4 MB

In the "dizziest" episode yet, Maia and Adair welcome back Anthony for to review the sequel nobody asked for. Second marriages, shots of tequila, the sequel to Napoleon Dynamite, song parodies, challenges to other Secret Weapons hosts, and more on this episode that was basically made with stock footage from ABC's Lost.

12: Johnny Tsunami and Longboard Island Lager

August 24, 2016 17:16 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

Johnny Tsunami wanted to do for snowboarding what Brink did for inline skating. But snowboarding didn't need any help, so this movie decided to be about a race/class/generational divide instead. Maia and Adair are joined by Anthony as the one true guest of the episode, instead of just popping up randomly at a moment that can't be edited out. Passive aggressive parenting, sports rivalry, and subtle racism make this DCOM, and this episode a classic you won't want to miss.

August 10, 2016 12:09 - 1 hour - 60 MB

July 13, 2016 20:09 - 57 minutes - 55.9 MB

It's the epic re-teaming that quickly turned into a Earth Girls Vs. Space Siblings *Warning* Cosmic interference due to a massive solar flare made the recording equipment sound like an underground Protozoa mixed tape. So everybody just ice!
