What's this podcast called again?: The newest edition of Home Alone
It's a classic misunderstanding. One guy thinks a small child has stolen his doll that's valued at thousands of dollars as his life is falling apart, so he and his wife break into the small child's house to steal it back, while simultaneously the child has been left home alone by his incompetent family as they travel to Paris. The child then reveals a secret desire to maim and murder, doing just that to both adults. Joe Pesci does not appear. We don't hate this movie as much as we should. Guess who edited this episode.
Zapped (no exclamation point)
If you're looking for the Scott Baio one, that's a different movie with a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's probably a tossup on which one is worse. Nah it's for sure the Scott Baio one. And that's an accomplishment. This movie is rough.
The Suite Life Movie
The plot of this movie does not make sense. That's about it. Alley Cat Strike made sense, like 30 movies ago. It's a damn shame.
Quints: I don't know, I didn't watch this one
I chose to skip this. I do not regret it. I saw it when I was a kid, so it still counts as a movie I've seen. But I'm not doing it again. We can also say I hate this movie so much I waited like a month to put out the episode, even though it was recorded that long ago. Bad movie, hard pass on watching it again. I'd watch Alley Cat Strike again. I really can't get over how screwed that movie was on this list.
Genius: A dumb movie
We're back from a semi-planned hiatus with an episode recorded several weeks ago after we watched Genius. It's a weird film. I didn't like it. You probably wouldn't either. Unless you're in it and you've got some kind of google alert for podcasts about a 20 year old movie you were in. If that's the case, are you Emmy Rossum? If so, we'd love to have you as a guest on this podcast, but only to talk about DCOM's you weren't in. Like Alley Cat Strike. THAT'S a good movie.
Buffalo Dreams: I'd skip this one. The podcast and the movie
Yeah, so this movie is no good. There's a lot of reasons why. Don't watch it. And probably skip this episode of us awkwardly trying to dance around some of the stuff that happens in this movie.
Twitches Too
The worst Teen Witch movie since Teen Witch. Probably would've helped to see Twitches 1 first. Probably wouldn't have helped THAT much.
Motocrossed: Kubrick was an Idiot
We took a week and a half off, but we're back and we're the same as we were before. Enjoy us talk in great detail about an inappropriate look that we both caught as we discuss a movie that follows the great DCOM tradition of making absolutely zero sense.
Frenemies: This movie is like watching 3 bad movies
Did you ever look at a movie and think it would be a totally different thing than it actually is? That's this movie. You think it'll be one semi-coherent and cohesive movie, and it's actually 3 movies that are none of those things. It's weird and bad.
Kim Possible: How did they screw this up?
Kim Possible as a live action movie is a layup. This movie is what happens when you throw a layup into the wrong basket.
Phantom of the Megaplex: Everybody assumes it was Mickey Rooney
Everybody has it out for Mickey Rooney. We discuss. Film's one of the better ones so far.
I forget what this movie was called. It's a basketball one.
Who signed off on this title? Movie has moments where it doesn't suck, though.
Invisible Sister
This episode wasn't late, it was just invisible in your feed. Movie sucks.
Enjoy the weird edit point in the middle where the recording randomly stopped and we had to pick it up mid sentence.
Jumping Ship
This episode made me want to jump ship, but I'd probably end up stuck on an island with the Lawrence brothers. I'll take my chances.
Return to Halloweentown: A trip you probably want to skip
Look, it's not the worst film. I still have nightmares from Can of Worms. But the bar from Halloweentown is High, and this doesn't meet it. It doesn't have original Marnie, it doesn't have much Debbie Reynolds, it has WAY too much Benny. They dramatically overestimated my attachment to Benny. This movie doesn't even have Kalabar. Discount Marnie can't carry to film, and it suffers from a decided lack of Sophie.
Can of Worms
This movie should not exist. It's wannabe John Hughes nonsense that will disturb you if you choose to watch it. Do not watch it. Listen to the review Cesar Chavez gave it on IMDB, though. Pretty great.
Alley Cat Strike
Out of order but who cares, this one was good. Watch several youths of indeterminate age in an indeterminate era do a clearly bad job of bowling. Strong recommend this movie. Also, learn that we haven't been rating these movies on the same scale this entire time.
The Other Me
Sometimes movies are bad and fun, and sometimes they're bad and boring. And sometimes one Lawrence brother isn't enough to save a film as dumb as this film.
A Christmas Special, 2 bad movies for the price of one month of Disney+
We watched and talked about two Christmas films, first, The Ultimate Christmas Present, and second, Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas. And then we talked about them. That's the whole podcast. Hopefully on future Christmases we'll be able to watch better movies.
Hatching Pete: Every Little Improvement Feels Like A Massive Improvement
This movie is bad. But it's slightly less bad than all the other movies. Progress. Also, are these kids serial killers? I think yes.
Under Wraps
Under Wraps is the best DCOM we've watched so far. It's still bad. It makes very little sense when given the slightest amount of thought. But we're making progress. Only 97 movies to go.
Featuring special guest Amelia, who's my cohost on Dear Graham, a podcast specifically for one person. Very niche market, we've got it cornered.
The Poof Point
Have you ever sat down to watch a movie from your childhood, only to find out that it wasn't the movie you thought it was? That was me with this movie. I remember this as a movie where some grandparents start to Benjamin Button themselves and live lives as teenagers for a while. Is that a different movie or am I giving away an idea for a indie film, probably rated R and directed by Kevin Smith or Guillermo Del Toro, two very similar filmmakers? Stay tuned to find out.
This movie is REALLY bad. We're not yet at the point where these are watchable films. I hope we get there soon, because these are brutal.
Bad Hair Day
A Thanksgiving special, recorded several weeks before Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that we're slowly getting toward better movies. I'm thankful that I never have to watch Bad Hair Day again. Be thankful that you don't have to watch it. It's an hour and a half of my life that I'll never get back.
Dadnapped
Dadnapped, on the surface, is a movie about a Dad getting kidnapped. But if you go deeper than that, it's a movie about a dad getting kidnapped TWICE. If you go deeper than that, you've gone deeper than the writers of this film. They were probably too distracted by Jason Earles' hair to actually finish the script. It's the most distracting hair I've seen on film since Ezra Miller in the first Fantastic Beasts film.
This movie sucks.
Geek Charming
Join us, as we continue our descent in madness by forgetting to publish an episode for three weeks and one day. Geek Charming is a terrible film that has a terrible human being in it, and I'm so confident in that that I'm not even going to throw in an "allegedly." Do not watch this film. Do not give that terrible human being any potential residuals. I think the whole world would be better off if they, like me, just pretended this movie had never happened (and it seems like we're on the right track).
You Lucky Dog, or Kirk Cameron's voice will haunt your dreams
Recorded the night after election night, find your podcasters taking another step down the path to complete and total insanity. This time it's not just the 1998 garbage film "You Lucky Dog" starring Kirk Cameron, it's also the state of the world at large. The movie was bad, the world is bad. The drinks were good, though.
Freaky Friday (2018): Why have you done this?
We talk about 2018's remake of Freaky Friday. It's really, really bad. It's a musical? Everything about this film is unpleasant.
Radio Rebel: Why are we doing this to ourselves?
Radio Rebel is the first film in our attempt to watch every Disney Channel Original Movie, based on a list that someone at Vulture wrote. It's a bad film. We don't recommend it. It's so bad it's not even on Disney+. It's on Amazon Prime. Hopefully these movies get better fast because if they don't this podcast is going to be the recordings of two people as they not so slowly lose their minds. And you can trust us on this, because we're both Radio Rebel.
