Disney Channel Tipsy Panel

This movie is all about breaking records: more awkward kisses, more people drowning, and more live dolphin births than any other DCOM. It's also got Mischa Barton and Jared Padalecki starring alongside each other just a few years before they both hit their TV stride. WIth all these positives, what could possibly go wrong??? Well, lots of things. We suggest you pour yourself a Dolphin Hugger and make it a double, because we can only talk about telepathic Christian dolphins for so long before the conversation turns to dolphin genitalia and that time NASA paid a woman to give acid to a dolphin and teach it to speak English.

Remember that one kid you went to middle school with who only did just enough work to get by? And then one day that kid bought a bunch of sea monkeys and accidentally cloned himself? Yeah, we all know that guy... It also happens to be the plot of the 2000 DCOM The Other Me, starring the always wonderful Andrew Lawrence (and X-Ray from Holes!). James shares his recipe for The Other Me-nhattan aka a Boulevardier, Brennan introduces Tipsy Treatments, and we overanalyze what is without a doubt the best scene from any DCOM we have ever watched: the cafeteria scene.

FYI the Tipsy Panel is now also a communist hip-hop collective in addition to reviewing DCOMs. We might also start a soup eating spin-off podcast. We're full of ideas. Just like Izzy in Disney Channel's 2007 DCOM Jump In!, featuring an all-star cast of Corbin Bleu, Keke Palmer, and about three years' worth of Degrassi B-characters. Make yourself a Red Hot Chili Shandy, kick back, and enjoy our review of a movie that poses the question "What would happen if we did High School Musical again but with less musical and more stunt doubles doing double dutch?"

Your favorite dirtheads are going to New Mexico baybee!! We embark on a spiritual journey with nothing but dim sum for our review of the 2005 DCOM Buffalo Dreams. James teaches us how to whip up some tasty Hozho cocktails (with Buffalo Trace, of course) and we jump right into this one, socks and all. Everyone comes up with their best horse names, we list all the awful things that local DIRTDAWG Kyle probably does, and Brennan shares what everyone thought this movie was about before we watched it.

This movie marks the end of an era: the last Disney Channel Premiere. Two months later, the channel would drop their first DCOM and not stop dropping them for another 23 years. Between Diane Keaton's heavy smoking and some tone deaf wisecracks, Disney probably wants to leave this one in 1997--but we won't let them! James teaches us how to make a Buckeye Borealis and we break down this movie the only way we know how (by yelling about the Ratman).

Uh-oh, the Tipsy Panel got zoom bombed! Everybody's still stuck at home during quarantine, and banned former guest Jared Corwin hacked his way into our discussion of Adventures in Babysitting, the 2016 remake of the (way cooler) 1987 movie of the same title and Disney Channel's 100th DCOM. We let him stay because we're nice people... and already a little tipsy. James teaches us how to make the Psychic Rocket (named after his favorite band), and Ryan proposes a better way to spend 150 hours than watching the first 100 DCOMs.

We're back baybee!!! We all got our home studios up and running to discuss Stuck in the Suburbs, an 80-minute movie with 10 minutes of flashback footage and a very out-of-place Stealers Wheel car chase montage (and Brenda Song, who is great as always). James couldn't make us all drinks, but he did come through with a great quarantini recipe! Tune in to find out why Brandon is convinced this is Disney Channel's first lesbian love story.

The Tipsy Panel has been quarantined! And to make matters worse, they're being held hostage!!! Lots of unfortunate events going on in this one. Our captors Lady and Mae Busch insisted we all watch Twitches, so James whipped up a pitcher of The Darkness and we got right to it. We trash talk Karsh the f**kboy, write our own spells, and discuss which DCOMs have good endings.

This week we have the man of many names in the studio: guest star Kyle McMorrow spends an evening with the Tipsy Panel to discuss Genius, the 1999 DCOM about a whiz kid scientist who takes off his glasses and becomes the "cool guy" despite never saying anything all that cool. The plot may be exceedingly barebones and this movie may have the worst female representation of all time, but it did have a dancing skeleton so that was cool. And what good is a WIsconsin movie without some Wisconsin-style old fashioneds from our mixologist? Cheers! Keep listening after the rating to hear Brandon update our listeners on everyone's thumbs up/down stats thus far.

We're watching Susie Q and drinking Susie Q-cumbers!! Disney Channel stopped airing this movie at the turn of the century due to its depiction of death, profanity, guns, drunk driving, and Amy Jo Johnson's bare back--so obviously, we were all excited for this one. Susie Q is a 1996 Disney Channel Premiere about a girl who dies on her prom night in 1955 and comes back as a ghost forty years later, working with teen boy Zach Sands to prevent her elderly parents from getting evicted. Listen to us rewrite the five stages of grief and share our standing-on-table speeches in what is arguably the most horny movie Disney Channel has ever produced.
