We're back on schedule with one last extra-long dive back into one of the most recognized DCOM franchises of all time: Its finally time to finish Descendants!Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, and pretty much every character you liked or didn't like from the previous two movies are back, and most of them don't have nearly as much to do. The alternate Disney character lore gets even more complex and contradictory, and everyone is walking away from this one with a boyfriend.If you enjoy watching these movies with us and listening to our breakdowns, please show some love to the pod and leave us a review (it's a great place to request a DCOM for us to watch next!!)Support the show

It’s a Movie Surfing first! We are covering a REMAKE of a classic DCOM!

It’s officially Spooky Season, and we are diving right in with Twitches Too! (If you haven’t listened to last year’s coverage of Twitches, now would be a great time to check that out!)

It’s almost time for Spooky Season, so we’ve decided to bridge the gap with a pseudo-spooky movie: Now You See It. This DCOM tells the story of an aspiring junior TV producer who may have accidentally booked an actual sorcerer on a kids’ magic reality show. Now You See It is full of twists and turns and features the talents of heavy-hitters like Aly Michalka and Frank Langella. Tune in now to find out if this ambitious film lives up to the hype, and join us in two weeks for the beginning of our official Spooky Season coverage!Support the show

Hey Movie Surfers! We're coming to you this week with another classic summer vacation DCOM: The Even Stevens Movie. It's the Even Stevens series finale, and it does not disappoint. We get to follow the wacky Stevens clan on what they THINK is a luxury vacation, but turns out to be a much wilder bonding experience than they bargained for. It's a goofy movie full of unexpected twists, and it's a pretty good time (if we do say so ourselves). Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to send us your picks for our imminent Spooky Season coverage! In the meantime, enjoy The Even Stevens Movie, and you can join us in two weeks for our coverage of the underrated magical thriller, Now You See It.  Support the show

Hey there, Movie Surfers! Summer may be winding down, but it’s only just begun for the stars of Teen Beach Movie. When Brady and Mack get sucked into a 1960’s movie musical, they’ll have to sing and dance their way back to the real world if there’s any hope of saving their relationship. This DCOM was new to both of us, and we had a great time covering it, even if it left us with some troublesome tunes stuck in our heads. Thank you for making July our best month EVER! We are so grateful to all our listeners - new and old - and we hope you enjoy our coverage of Teen Beach Movie! Support the show

Hey Movie Surfers-long time no see! We are sorry for the delay, but we are so stoked to be back with a new episode this week!

We’ve finally caved and decided to give the people what they want, so fasten your seatbelts for our coverage of High School Musical 2. The good news is that all your favorite characters have returned for the sequel. The bad news is that the East High gang is stuck working summer jobs and it’s kind of a bummer. Will Sharpay win yet another Star Dazzle Award? Will Ryan get the gay backstory we all desire? Will Troy and Gabriella EVER have their first kiss?! There’s only one way to find out! Tune in now, and don’t forget to subscribe to the show and share it with a friend! After all, we’re all in this together. Or something like that. Happy listening!Support the show

This week, we are making our first foray into Lawrence Brothers territory with The Other Me  (2000). In this wild sci-fi film, a young boy accidentally clones himself and discovers there is more to all of us than what meets the eye. He also has to tackle some classic movie goons and save his clone from being turned into a pile of sea monkey eggs in the process. Yes, really.
