Marisa and Sam learned last episode that while Hilary Duff and crew were in Rome filming the Lizzie McGuire Movie, Lalaine was off filming a movie of her own - a small DCOM entitled You Wish starring her, AJ Trauth, and Spencer Breslin. Naturally, they had to check it out, and in the process discover the greatest montage in any DCOM ever made. Plus, are they really talking about Christy Carlson Romano for the third week in a row?

It's been quite the long, strange trip, but at long last Marisa and Sam are ready to talk about The Lizzie McGuire Movie. With the help of Jermaine Fletcher and Carlyn Greenwald, they examine how The Lizzie McGuire could easily be a horror film, debate whether Miranda or Larry is the film's biggest absence, and definitively crown the MVP of Lizzie McGuire. Plus, Jermaine always brings some solid D-List celebrity gossip.

Marisa and Sam are joined by Ivan Arevalo to discuss the timeless 2003 album Metamorphasis by Hilary Duff. Together, they go song by song, breaking down the highs, the lows, and the Kara DioGuardi lyrics that are true poetry. Marisa remembers changing the lyrics to get these songs past elementary school censors, Sam breaks down why 6/8 time signature is the perfect ballad rhythm, and Ivan explains why he hates key changes. Plus, Marisa, Sam, and Ivan play a quick game of We've Got a Situation.

Marisa and Sam recap another movie from Marisa's youth, the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie Cadet Kelly, starring Hilary Duff, Christy Carlson Romano, and Gary Cole. Marisa did not realize how gay this movie was as a child, but is now pleased to announce that the chemistry between Kelly and Captain Stone is undeniable. Sam struggles to suspend his disbelief, but concedes that this movie is far better than the past few they've watched. Plus, how does Kelly's dad's fall stand up next to a Disney classic?

Marisa and Sam revisit a movie Marisa had fond memories of from her childhood, the 2003 film Agent Cody Banks starring Frankie Muniz and Hilary Duff, and quickly realize that it has not aged well. What's with the weird energy between Cody and Ronica? And is anybody going to address that Natalie straight up murdered that dude? Plus, why Cats is Natalie's favorite musical, and why pistachio is the Cats of ice cream flavors.

Marisa and Sam believe they may be the first people to review the 2016 film What Happened Last Night, which stars not one, but TWO Lizzie McGuire alumni in Clayton Snyder (Ethan Craft) and Jake Thomas (Matt McGuire). Marisa has A LOT of questions about the cameos in this movie, while Sam just wants to know what happened to Nick Levin? Plus, some wild spelling choices.

Marisa and Sam recap the novel The Orchids and Gumbo Poker Club, based on the fictional novel Mr. Dig assigned to Lizzie in Season 2, Episode 3: Mom's Best Friend. In this classic Lizzie McGuire meets The Princess Diaries meets A Cinderella Story, with some bonus tones of She's All That, bayou girl Darcy Lou Beignet wants to know her father and kiss the hottest boy, until she learns that her father was just a regular guy and the hottest boy is actually a real piece of work. Don't worry though; she has a best friend who's...fine? And he's enough to replace both those voids and become all the man she needs. Yeah, it's a wild ride.

Marisa and Sam visit an under the radar film from director Mark Rosman (who also directed A Cinderella Story AND several episodes of Lizzie McGuire): the 2005 film The Perfect Man starring Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear, Ben Feldman, and Chris Noth. Once again, Ben Feldman is infiltrating the podcast with his boyish charm, and honestly that's totally fine. Plus, when Collide by Howie Day makes an appearance in a romantic comedy, you're in for a good time.

The highs were high and the lows were low. Now that Marisa and Sam have watched all 65 episodes, they take a crack at ranking the episodes, revealing their lists of Top and Bottom 5 episodes in the series. Plus, a look at how their rankings compare with an old EW list and with the top and bottom rated episodes on IMDb.
