High School Musical is back in High School Musical 2! Will this one contain an actual musical? No! And also it's not even set in a high school this time!

With school out for the summer, the Wildcats of East High find themselves working at a snooty country club owned by the parents of objectively best characters Ryan and Sharpay Evans. But as sports star Troy starts being groomed for a scholarship to the prestigious University of Albuquerque, he finds he has to choose between his friends and his future, for some reason. Will Troy and Gabriella be able to overcome Troy having a job? Who will win the coveted Star Dazzle award? And why do Ryan and Chad swap clothes at one point?

Mom Can't Cook! returns on 20 Jan with High School Musical 2, but until then we thought we'd treat you to a feed drop of a classic episode of Extra Helpings, Mom Can't Cook's Patreon-exclusive bonus podcast. This episode originally aired on 22 April 2024, and covers Disney Channel Original TV Show So Weird season 2 episode 10, 'Oopa'. Get access to over 40 (and counting) hours of bonus episodes by going to Patreon.com/ExtraHelpings.

In perhaps the most hatstand episode of So Weird yet, Fi and the gang run into the world's richest computer genius, Tad Raxall, in the lobby of a modestly priced tiki-themed motel in the small town of Paradise, Virginia.

It turns out he's here at the behest of the nearby CIA to investigate what appears to be an ancient computer, and what follows is the funniest 20 minutes of television ever committed to the Disney Channel as Fi and her friends repeatedly break into the CIA headquarters and put their hands all over everything. Also: Atlantis!

What if a snowman came to life? It'd be pretty horrifying I expect, on account of how he'd be like, three fleshy balls, precariously balanced on top of each other. But what if the snowman had abs? Pretty sexy, right? Also he has the mind of a child. Wait, come back.

That's the premise for Hot Frosty (2024), Netflix's smash hit holiday movie in which a sexual snowman comes to life to romance a bereaved widow looking to put the spark back into her life. And by romance, we mean fix a bunch of stuff around her house, get turned down for hugs, and almost kiss her twice, because this movie is light on the steamy romance, and heavy on scenes of policemen doing sketch comedy work. But it's probably for the best, because did I mention he has the mind of a child? Good, good. Just checking. Anyway, happy holidays y'all, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, monthly livestream watchalongs, or a shoutout at the end of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

We return to The Wonderful World of Disney for this week's offering, 1999's H-E Double Hockey Sticks, which reunites Boy Meets World's Will Friedel and Matthew Lawrence as Griffelkin, a demon in training, and Dave Heinrich, an ambitious hockey player who would sell his soul to win the Stanley Cup, and then does do that.

But that's when things start to go wrong, not only for Griffelkin, who finds himself getting attached to his human target, but also the movie, which then aimlessly spins its wheels for ages until deciding it's going to spend the last twenty minutes speedrunning a ragtag sports movie arc. Will Dave learn to be a team player and turn around the fortunes of the Annapolis Angels? Will Griffelkin shut up for, like, five minutes? Is this entire movie the result of a wager between bored 19th Century aristocrats?

In a last gasp for Halloween 2024, Mom Can't Cook is back with our live Halloween special, in which we're recapping 2004's Halloweentown High!

Marnie Cromwell, powerful witch and Best Person In The World is back with a new plan to unite the human world and Halloweentown: make a bunch of Halloweentown students attend her high school, in disguise, so that no one knows they're from Halloweentown. But having bet the Cromwell magic that this experiment will work, Marnie soon finds sinister forces of varying levels of attention to detail working against her, and must race against time to have humans accept creatures before midnight on Halloween, lest her and her family not be able to levitate hot cocoa around any more. Enjoy, and if you want bonus episodes of the show, monthly livestream watchalongs, or a shoutout at the end of the show, remember to check out our Patreon at Patreon.com/extrahelpings.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Mom Can't Cook podcast! Consider this dismaying observation: this episode is about the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie, which offered us this chilling challenge: watching the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie.

Eddie Murphy plays Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who drags his family to the titular manse with the hopes of earning a big payday from selling it. But as soon as the Evers arrive they realise that all is not well at Gracey Manor, as the house's 999 happy haunts come out to socialise. Will Eddie Murphy stop effing around long enough to save his family? Are Master Gracey and Eddie Murphy's wife actually really into each other? And how is ramping a horse and carriage out of an attic considered anyone's 'way'?

This week, the DCOM writers spin the sports wheel and get a teen... [BOXER] who is worried about the ridicule he'll receive for his secret love of... [COMPETITIVE DOUBLE DUTCH JUMP ROPE]. Huh. Not sure how that got on here, but let's see how they get on.

The boxer in question is Isadore "Izzy" Daniels, a pugilistic prodigy under a lot of pressure from his overbearing dad to succeed and become the third generation of Daniels to win the prestigious golden gloves tournament. Izzy is fine with this, until one day he takes his sister to a jump rope contest and the scales fall from his eyes, revealing to him a whole new world of *checks notes* competitive jump rope. Can Izzy balance his love of boxing and double dutch? Will he find romance with Mary, the feisty leader of local underdog skipping team the Joy Jumpers? Does this movie's narrator think we're idiots?

Jett Jackson is the star of the hit TV show Silverstone, a thrilling spy drama full of karate and explosions. He's also a regular kid trying to keep his grades up and ask his friend Kayla to the prom. As you can imagine, this is a challenging lifestyle to maintain that only gets more difficult when he accidentally falls through a dimension hole and ends up in the fictional Silverstone universe, while the fictional character Silverstone ends up in the real world, living Jett's life for him.

If that sounds like a complicated premise, well done for noticing, because yes, this is a challenging one folks. Still, it's worth it for a rare good DCOM, so let's unpack it together as we get into Jett's home life, the confusing technological forever war of the Silverstone universe, and of course, the wicked machinations of the evil Michael Ironside.
