Happy Friday the 13th. As Zach Heltzel once said, "this film is fundamentally misguided in so many ways". Zoogers, get ready to laugh as I force one of my best friends Herjot (who HATED this movie) to watch this faux DCOM! It stars Amy Jo Johnson AKA the pink ranger, its secretly a sports movie and it has the classic little sister is a hacker DCOM trope. My guest may not have enjoyed this episode, but I know I sure did :) Teenager Susie Q dies 1955; in 1995, Zach moves into a haunted house with his mom and kid sister, and Susie Q's ghost asks him for help. Susie Q and her boyfriend were on their way to a dance one night in 1955 when they got into a car crash and fell off a bridge. Years later in 1995, teenager Zach Sands, recovering from his father's death, moves into Susie Q's old house with his mother and sister Penny. One night, Zach discovers that he can see Susie Q's ghost. Susie Q attempts to help Zach's family and sparks a romance along the way
We're watching Susie Q and drinking Susie Q-cumbers!! Disney Channel stopped airing this movie at the turn of the century due to its depiction of death, profanity, guns, drunk driving, and Amy Jo Johnson's bare back--so obviously, we were all excited for this one. Susie Q is a 1996 Disney Channel Premiere about a girl who dies on her prom night in 1955 and comes back as a ghost forty years later, working with teen boy Zach Sands to prevent her elderly parents from getting evicted. Listen to us rewrite the five stages of grief and share our standing-on-table speeches in what is arguably the most horny movie Disney Channel has ever produced.
