Inside the Disney Vault

We're joined by Griffin Newman (@grifflightning) aka Pip himself (!!) to chat all about the brand new Disenchanted. We get the scoop on all things Pip, request merch, rides, and an extended Pip universe- are you listening, Bob (Iger)!? Oh right, we get breaking news during our recording that Bob Iger has been reinstated as Disney CEO. What a time to briefly come out of a hiatus!!

We're joined by Scott Youngbauer (@scottyoungballer) to chat about the BRAND NEW and MOST RECENT (for now) Disney Channel Original Movie, which funny enough is a sequel to the very FIRST DCOM we ever watched. The kids go on a trip to Amy's Dad's wedding (AKA the union of Popin' Carl) and it's a SPOOKY Hallo-wedding! On the way, an ancient mummy has gone missing and the kids correctly suspect this has something to do with Harold, so they wake him and his eternal GF, Rose. Dancing, pizza, and hot sauce ensue as it's a fight to get the ill intentioned Sobek to back off. Tell us what you thought of this original sequel @ITDVPodcast on twitter. If you like the show, leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts or rate us on Spotify You can also follow the show hosts: Rachel Chapman @LadyTomHanks Oscar Montoya @OzzyMo Clare Loughran @Clary_Poppins

Zombies and Werewolves and Cheerleaders, OH MY! Could Seabrook get any more crowded with interesting characters!? WHY YES, IT CAN! A RuPaul voiced Alien spaceship arrives on a mission to find a map to their new home planet. Everyone freaks out, except Addison who feels ~connected~ to the newcomers. All the while, Zed's trying to get into college and be the first Zombie to do so! Will Addison finally find the answers she seeks? Will Zed get into college? Will they stay together forever? Will there be a Zombies 4!? Tell us who you think may show up in the next one at @ITDVPodcast on Twitter. 

We've watched 112/113 DCOMs and before we make our way to the very last one (as of this post), we reflect back on the good, the bad, and the forgettable. We discuss those we've loved since they were first released as well as some new favorites. And you KNOW we have to shout out our top Zaddies. Let us know who your Platinum Zaddies are @ITDVPodcast on twitter and please be sure to leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts!

Well it's Christmas all over Again...and again...and again- that's right, we've got a TIME LOOP MOVIE!!!!! After a rough Christmas, Ro wakes up the next morning on Christmas...Again!!!!!! She quickly learns that she can do anything she likes without consequence since the day will continue to restart. She continues to stay in the loop long enough to learn some MAJOR specialized skills and- wouldn't you know- under the guidance of Santa, she also learns to become a caring, loving family member and friend. Bake your favorite seasonal banana loaf and tell us what you thought of Christmas...Again?! and where it ranks in your fave time loop films @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

It's spooky season in the vault and we're joined by Jeremy Schmidt (@Ocarinaofcrime) for a REMAKE of the FIRST Disney Channel Original Movie! Harold the Mummy was stolen from a museum and some horror-loving kids find him and make it their mission to help him back to his sarcophagus before it's too late, BUT there are some goons up to no good trying to make it so this doesn't happen! Sounds familiar! We all loved the original, but what do we think of this new --very similar-- Under Wraps? Tell us which Under Wraps you prefer @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

Jordan Myrick (@jordanmyr1ck) joins us as we take a turn making playlists and then learning to DJ with the brilliant Rhea. She doesn't think she's an artist like the rest of her family members, but once she meets a new love interest, she realizes she hears music in everything and puts her new skills to the test in a DJ competition. However, she has responsibilities at her family's restaurant where her cool grandma dances and her brother suggests interesting new dishes. How will she balance it all!? Tell us what your DJ name would be @ITDVPodcast on Twitter!

We head to a magic school full of flickers, flares, fluxers, flyers, and fuzzies and our special guest Surena Marie (@SurenaXMarie). Best friends Nory and Reina can't wait to improve their magical skills at a prestigious school, until Reina discovers this school wants everyone to arrive perfect and Nory has what's called "Upside-Down Magic." Fortunately, with the help of some new misfit friends and a Hot Hagrid, they end up teaching this stuffy old academy a thing or two. Tell us which power you'd like to have at @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

We're joined by Chris Grace (@chrisgracecomedy) to discuss not only the Zombies we know and love, but WEREWOLVES!!!! Addison doesn't fit in at all because she has *gasp* white hair, could it be because she's the alpha werewolf!? If figuring out her identity weren't enough, she and Zed struggle to make their new relationship work while he runs for school President against Bucky and Addison positions herself to be cheer captain. Allegories or possibly simply reading too far into the plot abound! Do you think the dance moves in this film LIVE up to the first? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

SHUT UP!! We're joined by Estevan (@EstevanQuintero) as we royally slide into an iconic film. Mia gets a visit from her long lost grandma and some very big news! Now she must decide whether she wants to stay a normal, nervous teen or rule a country instead. Decisions, decisions! Tons of great characters and quotable moments make this viewing a large nostalgic bite of a Genovian pear. Tell us your favorite Princess Diaries moments @ITDVPocast on twitter.

All good fairytales must come to an end and Sean Wilkinson (@diabetictwink) joins us for the final installments of the Descendants franchise. A wedding proposal and new villain kids travel to Aurodon and good vs. evil gets turned on its head. An unexpected antagonist causes chaos in the kingdom and Mal and the gang must travel to the isle of the lost to get help from her villain dad! Good becomes evil and formerly evil must team with good to stop the good who has turned bad. Simple, right? Tell us if you enjoyed the film and if any of its characters are truly rotten to the core at @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

*BEEP BEEP BEE DEEP* We're back to a familiar area of the vault, but in 3D! We with Kim on an adventure to HIGH SCHOOL, but she's still doing the ol' super spy thing. Turns out Drakken has JUST been released from prison and coincidentally Kim makes a new friend who begins to overshadow her...these things couldn't all possibly be linked to a super plan to steal Kim's spark!...Or could they? Tell us how you enjoyed seeing all our old friend in three dimensions @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

We had so much fun on our first Disney Afternoon, that we polled our patrons on what to watch for a second round! We watched and chat about the pilot episodes: Darkwing Duck "Beauty and the Beet" (Sept 9, 1991), Gummi Bears "A New Beginning" (Sept 14, 1985), and Talespin "Plunder and Lightning Part 1" (Sept 7th, 1990). Tell us which show you enjoyed the most and which classic cartoon we should cover next at @ITDVPodcast on Twitter!

Another Friday, another freaky body swap here in the vault as we're joined by Ray Lowe (@rayasunshiine on instagram). This time, it's a MUSICAL! We bop to the swap as mother and daughter switch bodies and learn to find common ground. But OF COURSE, in traditional body swap form, it's not only the day of mom's wedding rehearsal dinner that she's planning herself, but ALSO Ellie's big scavenger hunt that's led by her CRUSH. Will the two find a way back to themselves both literally and metaphorically!? Will mom's wedding happen!? Why are there so many antique shops in this town!? Tell us your thoughts @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

We're joined by Eric Michaud (@theaterbear on instagram) as we enter into ANOTHER musical franchise! It's— you guessed it, Romeo and Juliet, but this time it's ALSO an allegory. Our Zombies face some nasty discrimination in a town that fancies itself perfect, yet is actually so closed minded that it won't accept a character who...has white hair. We are also unsure of what zombies actually are... because these zombies are different from what we thought zombies were. From how they're created to how they behave (even before they use z-bands)...we're confused. Please explain to us what zombies are @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

You voted and we made a minnie Disney afternoon! We discuss the pilot episodes of DuckTales (1987), Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers (1989), and Gargoyles (1994). Tell us which show has the best theme song and which shows we should cover next @ITDVpodcast on twitter!

We return to Aurodon with Oman Najam (@OmarNajam) to check in on our quartet of villain children as they get used to life at their new school. Mal's having doubts about her new life, while some truly rotten to the core kids on the Isle of the Lost have big feelings about being left behind. Some great dance numbers and a Hook style pirate fight ensue and we're left on a cliffhanger as Ursula's daughter Uma teases that this still isn't the end of the Descendants' story! Tell us which couples you ship on the ship @ITDVpodcast on twitter.

We go happily ever after with Sammy Smart (@sammyyysmart) to watch a movie (?) about what happens AFTER Tangled (2010) and BEFORE Tangled: The Series (2017). We hang with some old characters, meet some new ones, and mostly wait for something exciting to happen. Tell us what storylines you think should have been included in this petite transitional film at @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

Never met no-BOD-y...like YOU! Yet we HAVE met a fantastic moment in time where tamagotchis thrived and boy bands ruled our hearts. Fortunately, not much has changed since 2002, when Turning Red is set. Meilin is changing...but not in the way most 13 year old girls do, she becomes a giant red panda. Although her relatives fight to tame Mei's panda, she and her amazing friend group have a little fun with it and invent a moneymaking scheme to fund their trip to see 4*Town, the hottest boy band since...EVER!??!?!? Tell us how many more 4*Town songs should have been featured @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

It's a body swap, y'all and fortunately Jason Saenz (@jasoncsaenz) is here to dissect this simple story made bonkers and confusing. Old cell phones act as totems which accidentally SWAP Ellie and Jack's bodies. GET THIS, they each have a big event coming up that is IMPERATIVE they do well for. Fortunately the pair figure out pretty quickly the mystical magical logic that they have to help each others' lives to improve their own and do some real healing. Tell us what your totem would look like @ITDVPodcast on twitter.
