Cetus Lupetus forever.

As 2026 settles in, we revisit one of Disney Channel’s most iconic films, Zenon Girl of the 21st Century. The future we imagined as kids, the reality we’re living in now, and why Zenon still holds a special place in our hearts.

We talk space dreams, wild outfits, Proto Zoa the legend, Margie being the BIGGEST hater, and why Zenon felt empowering without trying too hard. Then we recast the movie and ask the only question that matters…Does it still hit?!

If you ever yelled Cetus Lupetus at the TV, this one’s for you!
