1:06:28

We'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!

Episode 74 - Avalon High 56:50

I 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…

1:01:44

This 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…

We 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…

This 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…

1:11:29

This 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…

Happy 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…

Happy 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

CW: 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…

This 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…

You 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

We'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)

1:06:28

For 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 1:13:34

1:13:34

This 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.…

There 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.…

1:03:58

Cow 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.

Some 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).…

This 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.

1:02:36

The 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 58:21

58:21

We 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?…

A 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.…

1:08:27

It'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 enjoy James's peach, rooibos, and vodka drink and appreciate the finer touches to this movie: the roaming barbershop quartet, the painfully 70s getups, Mahree's gloopy little brother, and more.…

You 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.…

1:10:10

This 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.…

'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 made blue Alfred E. Neumann and green Joker. They earned this.…

1:26:59

You 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...…

1:09:35

Whether 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 one would be about from the poster alone.…

1:18:33

Now 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 yourself a Wizard Betrayal and enjoy our discussion of a movie that is unique in so many ways and yet can't escape the doofy one-liners, classic layered wardrobe, and brooding teen angst of every DCOM ever.…
