In our journey through the DCOMs, we have been no stranger to having a good time up in space. Now, however, it is time for space to come to us! That’s right, we are reviewing the exceedingly weird and confusingly made Can of Worms. A film about desperately calling in some aliens because you think you are one, but then totally not meaning it. There’s a lot to unpack here, from some really impressively designed puppets to the truly baffling ways this film decided to tell this story. Luckily, for the first time in a while, we have a guest DCOMmentator coming along with us to help dig into all this alien mess!

Emma has no idea what a doghouse looks like and forgets her favorite film.

Lucas praises the production design and gets the bully’s name wrong a lot.

Casey provides the key to this movie’s strange vibes.

Error! Error! Error! Sorry gang, been dealing with a near-catastrophic computer issue on my end. Which is somewhat fitting given that How To Build A Better Boy is all about treading carefully when it comes to technology. Okay, it’s actually more about kissing technology, but…then again, it’s also really about friendship? Sigh. Look, this movie has a few different contrasting ideas going on inside of it, but it is actually pretty fun! Except for the ending which nearly manages to ruin the whole thing. You know, I’m starting to think I’m not selling this as well as I should. Just listen in to hear all about it yourself, got it?!

Emma gets amped about camp and is definitely not dating an AI.

Luke hates the main love interest and wishes Albert Brooks was here.

All right, all right, all right! It’s anniversary time again! We…okay yes, we know. Sorry, we screwed up a little bit and did this movie a month earlier than we should have. At least we figured it out after we recorded it. But, I mean, can you blame us? This is the one and only Zenon Kar we’re talking about! Capping off the Zenon trilogy is something we’ve been so excited to do for years, I guess we just couldn’t help ourselves. Which makes it a bit sad this movie is such a mixed bag. Find out why as we sort through everything Z3!

Lucas is fine with moon colonization and a stickler for Greek mythology.

Emma curses the name Ryan Murphy and just wants to be a hot winner.

After an unfortunate business trip-related delay, the DCOMedy crew is here and super ready to bark at ya about the lesser-known DCOM Hounded. A lot of this movie really doesn’t work on paper, but somehow it manages to come together and actually be somewhat enjoyable? Though, to be fair, a lot of that is thanks to some stellar performances and pretty decent gags. Plus a true doggie star being born right before our eyes. Even if she is technically a puppet for like half of the movie…

Emma picked up some UK slang and shares her self-care routine (unfortunately).

Luke is not built for military school and demands to know if two characters are dating.

Wow can you believe we actually made it to 100 regular episodes (and that we still managed to put it out late)?! Well if Cloud 9 has taught us anything, it’s that nothing’s impossible…and also to not believe all the men in your life who don’t believe in you. I know that sounds like I’m extrapolating excess meaning from a children’s movie but no, that’s literally a big part of this story. It also contains possibly the most sexually charged scene ever aired on Disney Channel which we will definitely be acting normal about.

Emma is fascinated by fascinators and continues to be in love with Dove.

Luke refuses to learn the names of side characters and is strict about cheating.

Alright, who’s finally ready to get a little nuts?!?! Actually, wait, that doesn’t make any sense if you haven’t watched this month’s movie. To be fair though, most of the stuff in this DCOM will come as a surprise based on what one would expect from The Proud Family Movie. For some reason, this movie just couldn’t resist the temptation to take the show’s cast on a vacation…and the decisions only get weirder from there. So take a journey with us and the entire Proud Family to the somewhat uncomfortable in 2025 Legume Island as we unpack our final DCOM based on a show!

Luke shares some animation intuition and still doesn’t know popular music

Emma demands the formu-oli and continues to hate the show-based movies.

Sorry this is a little late, your intrepid hosts have been super out of it lately. Our sleep patterns keep getting seriously messed up because somebody keeps pranking us and setting our clocks forward! Don’t worry though, you know we wouldn’t let you go without a little spookiness even though our movie this month isn’t set on Halloween! That’s right, we are not technically looking at a Halloween movie…but it is still regarded as possibly Disney Channel’s scariest endeavor of all time. Not wanting to spoil anything, but we kind of agree. So be sure to listen to the title’s warning and Don’t Look Under The Bed!

Emma won’t stop talking about NCIS and pitches some disgusting jokes.

Luke doesn’t understand swimmers and hates kissing (for non-racial reasons).

Well, it’s that time once again everyone. That’s right, we’re gonna get little political on DCOMedy this month. Because we have got a spirited discussion all about The Color of Friendship, which dared to teach kids about why Apartheid was wrong. And we are definitely the perfect people to unpack that! In all seriousness, We’ve gotten used to the rare DCOM that really has something to say and doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths of its message. So we thought we knew what to expect! We did not expect all the slurs though. So…yeah. Oh, wait. Should I say content warning for racism? I mean that’s kind of the whole point so I think it kind of goes without saying. But just in case: FYI, there’s a lot of racism on display with this one.

Emma has some pronunciation issues and went to Soulcycle.

Luke is ignorant of accents and tries to whitesplain Roots.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? It’s been another year of DCOMedy, but definitely not a full year of episodes (thanks 2025 for being such a challenging year). So how should we celebrate our show being another year older? I mean Disney itself has seen fit to return to a certain gem of our childhoods, so why don’t we as well?! That’s right, to celebrate our anniversary in a new way, and to commemorate the release of Freakier Friday this year, we thought we’d take a look back on a film that in many ways is a perfect time capsule of the early 2000s. So strap in because it is Friday and it’s time for us to get freaky…non-sexually of course (except the movie is kind of weirdly sexy?).

Emma has no notes and refuses to stop singing along.

Luke questions his sister’s crushes and reflects on their childhood.

Hello, everyone. I beg your pardon if the following lacks the usual frivolity and humor we try to inject into our episode descriptions. That is because we have neither at this time. You see, we are finally here to discuss the Kim Possible 2019 reboot/remake DCOM and it has sucked any positive emotions from us entirely. I will slightly spoil the end of this one for you, this is unanimously the worst film we have ever reviewed on the show. It fails not only as its own movie, but completely misses out on the things people enjoyed about the source material. If you are interested in listening to us be slowly worn down as we try and discuss it all before eventually crashing out, then by all means tune in!

Luke does wrong by his favorite villain and finally gets to vent about this movie.

Emma admits she is not a perfect feminist and discovers things about herself.
