Snark Squad is super excited to bring you a... let's call it a crossover event. "Cooler Than Homework" is our new podcast in which four friends make their way through every Disney Channel Original Movie. We're starting with Under Wraps (arguably) the first DCOM and talking about the things that scared us as children and the important lessons we learned from this movie about a group of kids who happen to find a mummy in their neighbor's basement.
