Hey Movie Surfers!As you know, we have been taking our usual unexpected post-Spooky Season hiatus to deal with the negative repercussions of  being real people who can't live in the twisted fantastical realities of DCOMs 24/7.  We want to thank you all for your patience and for continuing to listen to old episodes and share the show in our absence.

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.

Big new, folks! This week officially marks ONE YEAR since we released our first episode! We can't believe we've been making this show for a whole year, but we are so grateful to everyone who has listened and supported us this long! To celebrate this milestone, we've decided to return to the magical land of Auradon to discuss Descendants 2. This sequel follows our favorite reformed villains as they struggle to fit into polite society while simultaneously trying to rescue young King Ben from a bumbling band of teenage pirates. It's yet another classic piece of Kenny Ortega cinema, and we think you'll enjoy it as much as we did! Thank you all SO MUCH for spending your quarantine time with us this past year. We appreciate every single one of you and can't wait to make many, many more episodes for you in the future! Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviesurfingpod)

Welcome back, Movie Surfers! As promised, this week we are discussing The Cheetah Girls 2! For anyone who may be unfamiliar, The Cheetah Girls 2  follows all our favorite characters from the first film (minus Toto) as they jet off to Barcelona in the hopes of winning an international amateur talent competition. Along the way, the girls find their devotion to the group tested by distractions like new friends, boys, tapas, and so much more. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Cheetah territory, but we are planning to branch out for our next episode, so if you have a movie suggestion, please send it our way! Thanks so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy your trip to Barcelona! Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviesurfingpod)

You asked and we answered. This week we are discussing one of the greatest DCOMs of all time, The Cheetah Girls.

We are entering a whole new era with this week's film, Descendants (2015). It's the most recent film we have covered so far, and it was a film neither of us had seen before. Descendants tells the story of the children of four of the most prolific Disney villains as they try to assimilate into fairytale life while simultaneously wrestling with their evil tendencies. It's a DCOM for a whole new generation, and we had many, many thoughts about it. Listen now and let us know if you're a Descendants fan or if you're only here for the OG movies.

This week we are continuing our Black History Month coverage with a recap of 2000's The Color of Friendship. We both really enjoyed this movie and can honestly say we learned a lot from it! The Color of Friendship tells the (mostly) true story of Congressman Ron Dellums whose family hosted a white South African exchange student at the height of his fight against apartheid. It's a heavy but extremely informative story, and we are very glad Disney chose to make this film. *However,* since we are just a couple of white millennials who haven't experienced racial discrimination/systemic oppression, we would really love to hear what YOU guys think about this movie, so PLEASE feel free to share your thoughts on social media or via the suggestion box on our website! *A big trigger warning is in effect for this movie, as it does contain disturbing depictions and discussions of racial violence and discrimination.

Hey Movie Surfers! This week, we are kicking off Black History Month with what is an arguably underrated classic: Up, Up and Away! This movie tells the story of a family of superheroes who must use their combined powers (or lack thereof) to defeat a network of bad guys posing as environmentalists (yes, that really is the plot). It's a funny, heartfelt movie, and Delaney loves it very much no matter what Ben thinks about it.

Welcome back, Movie Surfers! We hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are coping well amidst the craziness of the last couple of weeks. This week we are covering a wholesome film from a simpler time, “Brink!” This movie tells the story of Andy “Brink” Brinker, a self-proclaimed “soul skater” who is struggling to juggle his obligations to his friends, his family, and his passion. This film was highly requested, and we had a great time discussing it! Give it a listen, and let us know what you think.

The holidays are upon us, and we couldn't be more thrilled! In this week's episode we are covering 2000's The Ultimate Christmas Present. This feel-good Christmas movie tells the story of a teenage girl named Allie who almost ruins Christmas when she steals Santa's weather machine in the hopes of conjuring up a snow day in Los Angeles.

Welcome back, Movie Surfers! This week, we are covering 2005's "Go Figure" (not to be confused with the other 2005 figure skating film, "Ice Princess"). "Go Figure" tells the story of aspiring Olymic figure skater, Katelin Kingsford. As crazy as it sounds, Katelin finds herself forced to join a girls' hockey team in order to train with a world-renowned (Russian) figure skating coach. Along the way, Katelin learns the importance of friendship, hard work, and the presence of a reliable toe pick. It's a quintessential DCOM, even if the plot largely depends upon a number of adults blatantly committing fraud. If you're enjoy the show, please remember to subscribe, share, and review!

Alright, we KNOW this isn't a DCOM, but we feel strongly that the world is in desperate need of a little Will Friedle content. This week, we are discussing "My Date with the President's Daughter (1998)," because we clearly haven't had enough of politics quite yet. For those who may be unfamiliar, "My Date with the President's Daughter" tells the story of an aspiring close-up magician named Duncan who somehow manages to land a date with Hallie Richmond, the President's daughter. It sounds innocent enough, but it turns into an absolutely WILD ride. Take a break from doom-scrolling and have a listen!

Well folks, we have finally arrived at the big boi. That’s right! This week we are talking about a Disney Channel cult classic, Halloweentown (1998).

Spooky season continues this week with 2005's Twitches! This is one of Delaney's favorite Halloween DCOMs, and nothing anyone says will change her mind. Twitches tells the story of twin sisters who are separated at birth only to later discover that they are destined to use their magical powers to save their home kingdom from an evil force called the Darkness.

Okay, okay. We know that technically this isn’t a DCOM. But we have decided to grandfather it in based upon the fact that Hannah Montana is unquestionably part of the Disney Channel Cinematic Universe. Honestly, if we have to give you a plot summary of this film, you’ve probably stumbled upon the wrong podcast. But, as far as Tennessee culture goes, this movie has EVERYTHING: Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and multiple cameos from Rascal Flatts.

We have something pretty wild for you guys this week! We have decided to release our never-before-heard pilot episode in which we discuss 2001's Motocrossed. We recorded this episode pre-quarantine as a sort of test-run for the show, so we were still working out the kinks. But it's such a quality film, we felt it was time to share the coverage with our listeners. If you're not familiar with Motocrossed, here's a quick summary: A teenage girl takes a hefty risk when she stands in for her injured brother in a motocross competition. We are so grateful to those of you who have been tuning in during quarantine, and we hope you enjoy this new/old content from deep inside the Movie Surfing vault!

We've got two words for you: Milk. Tentacle. That's right! This week we are covering Cow Belles (2006) starring Alyson and AJ Michalka. Overall, this movie feels like an homage to unfettered nepotism, but we cannot deny: it has star power.

This week we are discussing what we believe to be an underrated DCOM, Jump In! (2007). The executives over at Disney clearly used a random sports generator to build this plot: Aspiring boxer Izzy Daniels surprises himself when he discovers a deep-seated love for competitive Double Dutch. This movie stars Corbin Bleu and Keke Palmer and overall boasts some really excellent performances.
