After an unfortunate delay, we are happy to report that your flight to the definitely real island of Mandalino is ready to go! And to make it up to you, your in flight movie will be another television show turned DCOM with The Even Stevens Movie. Much like we endured our technical difficulties, watch the Stevens endure and overcome being put in a survivor-esque situation while hopefully wrapping up their series in a meaningful way.

Emma revisits her crush and doesn’t like the family fighting. Lucas's fingers get possessed and screams for Shia. Brittany drops some knowledge on our hosts.

(Reupload) It is always hard to say goodbye, but never has it been harder than the way we were forced to say goodbye to the Halloweentown franchise by watching its final installment: Return to Halloweentown. Celebrate the spookiest of seasons with us as we follow a girl who calls herself Marnie, but doesn’t look like her, leaving the nest to go to magic college. Doesn’t that sound like it would be cool? Well, it’s not. Trust us.

Emma asks for very specific humor and can’t tell her own joke. Luke writes the movie better and has poor water etiquette.

Alright, quiet down everyone. For the rest of this episode we are holding the talking flower, which means you are legally required to listen to us drone (like a bee) on and on about Den Brother. A truly baffling film where an older brother gains control of a troop of girls under one of the worst run organizations of all time. Join us as we are forced to watch him pretend to be an older woman while manipulating children to make his life easier and use them an excuse to attract the only girl every who is horny for scouting.

Luke nails an impression and wants you to protect Tina. Emma wants more wordplay and remembers her scouting days.

Sorry to make y’all wait on this one a bit longer, but I think after three years we’ve earned a little bit of wiggle room. However, the delay was not because we didn’t want to talk about this movie, quite the contrary. We are beyond stoked to finally bring you our coverage of the absolute DCOM classic: Brink! So come along as we grind down a rail into this story of friendship, betrayal, identity, and obviously rollerblading. Because the nineties were a wild time and this movie is the distillation of exactly why.

Emma loves the formula and wants to join another cult. Luke missed out on blading and is ecstatic about the villain.

There is a familiar mood on the air, my loyal DCOMrades, and it has the distinct smell of statuette gold! This can mean only one thing…it’s time for the DCOM Choice Awards! The most magical of nights, where we hand out some accolades to the worthiest and least worthy things we have seen in the past year of DCOMs. So come along to laugh, cry, and feel the seething rage of seeing us snub your personal picks. Ah, awards season!

Emma shows her VAH knowledge. Lucas put in a sad amount of effort.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted on twitter for the awards, and if you missed the polls be sure to follow us (@dcomedypodcast) so you can have your voice heard next year!

After a brief delay, our Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board episode has made it’s way down the mountain! Good thing dirt-boarding isn’t a racing sport. Or is it? Dyllan joins us once again as we cover the more land-based sequel to the even more classic Johnny Tsunami. Honestly, it’s a movie just as zig-zaggy as riding a board down a mountain.

Lucas has terrible hearing and writes Johnny Tsunami fan-fiction.

Emma thought this sport was fake and freaks out about her bed.

Dyllan forgot to turn off his air conditioning so his audio sounds weird sometimes.

Talking Points: Missing Conflicts, Ridiculous Recasting, Surfing for Bikinis, The Incredibly Dangerous Dirt-boarding, Super Relevant Rocket Power References, Age Issues, JTA’s Three Strikes, A Mature Main Character, Surf-shop/Pray/Love, Everything Happens on the Same Day, Amazing Bully Names, The Trouble With Troy, Val and the Rushed Romance, Business Management, Never Trust Troy, Boarding on the Barge, SHAKY CAM, Johnny the G, Val: Knows What She Wants, Troy’s Commune, Mystery Business Man, Math Whiz, Cops on Parole, Johnny Falls for This, Jared Wants a Child to Die, Groms, Children Rebuild a Store, Sports Finally Happen, An Actual Arrest

I know you all were expecting a normal episode today, but we had some scheduling issues. So instead, we decided to go fishing for charm bracelets in our local river to catch a bonus episode for you all! We finally cover the film fans voted for in our poll, even if we have a lot of trouble actually staying on topic while we talk about it.

Emma loses the location and loves spooky boys. Luke forgets his own age and hates the word straddle.

This month’s episode is coming hot of the presses! We decided to pick up a copy of Read It and Weep, expecting to find a pretty standard story of a high-school student getting accidentally famous. What we didn’t expect to find was a character study of a young girl undergoing a mental breakdown and alienating everyone in her life for no reason other than her hallucination telling her to do so.

Emma soldiers on and wants everyone to stop making their own misery. Luke re-classifies this movie and tells an embarrassing story about Emma.

Talking Points: A Panabaker Double Feature, 2 Descendants 2 Furious, Her Insane Computer, Low-Rent Zac Efron, Stop Making Jason Dolley a Loser, What Were We Doing in 2006, Canadian Schools, Poetry Problems, Big Sad Boy Energy, The Most Insane Pizza Restaurant, A Confusing Writing Contest, Way Too Supportive Parents, Gotta Keep the Gold, ZAP, A Wasted Lenny, Lightspeed Book Printing, Overestimating the Fame of Authors, Disney Channel Adult Party, Why Is Sawyer So Great?, A Total Mental Breakdown on Live TV, An Unfairly Mean Protest, That Is Not How This Works!, All Ecosystems Go, Seaweed Reaction Shots, Why Is There Sushi At a Pizza Restaurant?

Listen up audience, just because we are covering Freaky Friday this month, you better not try to get out of listening to this episode to go on an uninteresting scavenger hunt! However, we will allow it so long as you do so to find this massive hourglass we are looking for. Still you should stay in and listen anyway, if only to hear us complain about the confusing decisions the filmmakers made both as a movie and an adaptation.

Luke brings back his favorite theory and learns a new phrase. Emma can’t let go of the 2003 movie and would die for Mike. Mercedes pulls of a long con.

It may not be Summer quite yet, but you better pack your bags, your musical instrument of choice, and your song book because: we are going to Camp Rock! Come with us as we travel back to the romantic time of 2008 and relive the film that re-introduced the world to Demi Lovato and helped to light the wildfire of Jonas Brothers mania.

Emma gets shook by style and is left wanting more. Luke shares some unpopular opinions and uses the wrong name. Marissa relives her Jonas Brothers obsession.
