They'll be sinking their teeth into Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire (2000), a Disney Channel Original Movie horror-comedy in which a group of kids become concerned they've set their mom up on a date with man who may be more of a bloodthirsty creature of the night than his dating profile suggested.

Join Luke Westaway and Andy Farrant as they talk about cinema's greatest achievement: Disney Channel Original Movies. From X-TREME rollerblading, to Mermen, to homicidal smart homes, there's something for everyone in these brilliant, baffling films. Also, usually the mom character in the film is unable to cook, and this is considered richly comic. Hence the name.

Ice. What is it? Science can only begin to guess. But without it we would not have figure skating or ice hockey, the two sports at the heart of this week's DCOM, Go Figure. Katelin Kingsford is a world class figure skater, but to afford training from the world's top coach she must accept an ice hockey scholarship to a prestigious school. Will Katelin be able to balance her figure skating, ice hockey and academic studies? Can she prevent her new team mates from discovering her shameful twirl girl secret? And why is her brother building a killer robot? Listen to find out, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

Go Figure

How many great bands have never found mainstream success because their lead singer stands there singing, instead of rolling around on the floor doing yoga and the splits and stuff? It is literally millions. That's the predicament the band The Zettabytes find themselves in in Disney Channel Original Movie Pixel Perfect - that is until they meet Loretta Modern, who can sing, dance and is, regrettably, a sex hologram made by the world's worst boy. Will the band's original singer adapt to being usurped by a hologram? Why isn't the boy in prison? And how is this film accidentally full of trenchant observations about the perils of generative AI?

And also about an insulting Halloween festival that Zachariah Kull is annoyed about? But also mostly about natural gas! And the Soul Patrol are there, occasionally! Good times.

Frankie Muniz plays Justin, a plucky kid searching for a sport in which he can compete at the same level as his athletic brother Seth (So Weird's Patrick Levis). When he discovers soap box derby racing, it seems like Justin has found his calling, but will the set in their ways derby association allow him to compete with his modified car? Will crusty local misanthrope Old Man Vic share his wealth of soapbox knowledge with this wannabe racer? Is the driver essentially ballast?
