What was intended as a DCOM Power Hour turned into a power two hours as we cover our (potentially) last Disney Channel Original Movies ever on The Old Kids Movies.
In this episode, we talk about how we – as two 30+ year old men – just don't see DCOMs the way we used to, and while we cherish the role they had in our lives and on this show, it's time to bid them farewell on this podcast.
To send the DCOM off properly, we cover four different original movies from Disney Channel in-depth. They are:
- Can of Worms (1999): One of the strangest and most unique things Disney Channel has ever done. Once it gets through its run-of-the-mill high school drama (and some gross-out contents with spectacular practicals), it ends with a fun intergalactic adventure that both of us appreciated.
- The Scream Team (2002): A movie that both of us agree is one of the best DCOMs ever made. Maybe we're partial because it's nearing spooky season and this one takes place in New England, but we love this one's themes, script, and acting.
- Right on Track (2003): A sports DCOM! AJ remembers liking this one more, and Trevor was left underwhelmed. Still, we enjoyed the dynamic between these real-life siblings.
- Stuck in the Suburbs (2004): Our biggest disagreement. AJ loves the scathing take this has on suburban culture and lifestyle. Trevor thinks it's barely a movie.
Let us know on our socials which DCOMs we never covered that you wished we had!
