Mom Can't Cook! A DCOM Podcast
Join Luke Westaway and Andy Farrant as they talk about cinema's greatest achievement: Disney Channel Original Movies. From X-TREME rollerblading, to Mermen, to homicidal smart homes, there's something for everyone in these brilliant, baffling films. Also, usually the mom character in the film is unable to cook, and this is considered richly comic. Hence the name.

Zombies
Episode 109
Show notes
Zed is nervous for his first day at high school for the usual reasons: he wants to try out for the football team, he has a crush on a cheerleader, and of course, the fact that if the electromagnetic wristband he has to constantly wear malfunctions for even a solitary second he might give in to his innate bloodlust and fall upon his classmates, tearing the flesh from their bones with his pitiless teeth.
That's because Zed is a zombie, and the film Zombies is insane. Will Zed and the other zombies be accepted at human school? Can romance blossom between Zed and wannabe cheerleader Addison, who has a dark secret of her own? And, oh no, is this whole thing a problematic metaphor for racism? Join us as we try our best to get through this one!

My Babysitter's a Vampire
Episode 108
Show notes
It’s every parent’s nightmare: you leave your teenage son in charge of your eight year old daughter when you go out one night, and thanks to his negligence she witnesses someone being turned into a blood fountain. There’s only one solution: a babysitter.
That’s the situation that a mortified Ethan finds himself in at the start of this movie, but when it becomes clear that his babysitter is not only a fledgling vampire, but is also embroiled in some kind of vampire war that threatens to destroy the town, Ethan and a local sex creep that he hangs out with for some reason must help her defeat the vampiric evil once and for all. What is the vampires’ evil plan? Why do this film’s writers hate Twilight so much? And surely the Disney channel won’t show like 30 kids getting murdered? Listen and find out!

Mr. Headmistress
Episode 107
Show notes
Tucker, no last name given, is a con man whose schemes have got him in a lot of trouble over the years. But when he gets out of prison and realises a couple of gangsters are still after him for a $50,000 debt he owes them, he does what any of us would do in that situation: instantly become the headmistress of a boarding school for teenage girls.
This is something of a problem for Tucker, as he appears to have never met or seen a woman before, and is basing his portrayal of one on half-remembered bigfoot footage, or possibly some of the gnarlier Resident Evil monsters. But don't worry, before long the girls of Rawlings Academy are all in on their new shrieking cryptid headmistress. Will Tucker go through with his plan to swindle the school out of $500,000? Why does everyone find Mr. Headmistress so deeply attractive? And... wait, did he just say he started the Falklands War? Listen and find out!

A Sound of Thunder
Episode 106
Show notes
It is the year 2055. Time travel has been invented and of course, people are using it for the only reason anyone would want to use time travel: to go back to prehistory and shoot an allosaurus with one million lasers.
That's the service offered by Time Safari, the private company run by Ben Kingsley and his distracting hair, who take great pains to ensure that nothing in the past is changed due to the catastrophic consequences it could have for the present. But when time waves start buffeting future Chicago it becomes clear that something has gone wrong and it's up to expedition leader Travis Ryer to figure out what happened before everyone evolves into sad catfish monsters and gets eaten by thousands of beetles. Can the time waves be stopped? Why are there super baboons everywhere? And did Ray Bradbury see this movie before he died? We sure hope not!

Camp Rock 3
Episode 105
Show notes
Camp Rock is back! And so are the Jonas Brothers! And we're pretty sure that shape we saw darting around in the rafters was Demi Lovato! It's Camp Rock 3!
When Connect 3 need a new opening act for their world tour, they know exactly where to turn: Camp Rock, the rock and roll fantasy camp for the children of millionaires where joe Jonas will teach you how to hip hop dance. But they only need one opening act and the camp is full of a new intake of fresh young superstars-in-waiting. Can Sage, Desi, Fletch, Cliff and Rosie best the challenges set by the Jonas Brothers and come out on top? Or will they fall to bitter infighting and cello based sabotage? Listen and find out!

Gepetto
Episode 104
Show notes
Have you ever wondered what Pinocchio's dad Gepetto was getting up to during the events of Pinocchio? You haven't?! Well buckle up, because you're about to find out and it involves Julia Louis-Dreyfus doing an accent, a weirdo professor and his breeding machine and of course, Usher's gang of barbershop acrobat clowns.
Gepetto is a lonely toy maker who wishes for a son. But when the Blue Fairy gives him his longed for offspring by bringing one of his wooden puppets to life, Gepetto realises that he doesn't want Pinocchio after all, because the boy keeps doing things like asking him questions and playing with toys. But when Pinocchio runs away to join Stromboli's travelling show, Gepetto realises that Pinocchio is actually his property and sets out on a quest to get him back. Will Gepetto find Pinocchio and make amends? Des Drew Carey have somewhere else he'd rather be right now? And just how much of your genetic material needs to go into Professor Buonragazzo's machine?

The Adventures of Food Boy
Episode 103
Show notes
Is the ability to fire food out of your hands a good superpower? You're right, it's too powerful. Okay then how about if creating the food makes you physically exhausted. And if you tell anyone you can do it, the food tastes bad. And you always smell terrible, and sometimes you'll still randomly spurt various liquids all over the place? Now you're talking!
Ezra (High School Musical's Lucas Grabeel) is an industrious student with one eye on an Ivy League future, but there's one thing missing from his academic career - class presidency! But how will the sudden onset of supernatural food-generation powers affect his leadership bid? Listen and find out!

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam
Episode 102
Show notes
Mitchie Torres is heading back to Camp Rock for another summer of fun, music and romance with chemsex bad boy rock star Shane Grey. But oh no! It turns out that the improbably named owner of Camp Rock, Brown Cesario, has a rival in the form of his former bandmate Axel Turner, who has set up a rival camp across the lake named Camp Star.
Obviously unable to compete with Camp Star on any level, things at Camp Rock look bleak. That is until Mitchie challenges Camp Star to a final jam to determine once and for all who is the best rock and roll fantasy camp owned by a 70s rockstar on this particular lake. Can the plucky underdogs of the prohibitively expensive and elitist Camp Rock win the day against the snobs of Camp Star? Did Brown Cesario's old band really used to be called "The Wet Crows"? And isn't it kind of cheating to have the Jonas Brothers on your team? Listen and find out!

Invisible Sister
Episode 101
Show notes
Cleo has a problem. She often feels invisible because she has an awful personality and no one wants to be around her, unlike her sporty and popular sister Molly. But when, for reasons too complicated to go into here, Molly drinks a predator camouflage moth that makes her turn literally invisible, Cleo spends some time in her sister's shoes and realises that maybe being nice to other people isn't the unendurable nightmare it seems to be.
Can Cleo pass herself off as Molly long enough to win the big lacrosse game? Will they figure out how to make Molly visible again? And is there a worse name for a party than "Romp in the Swamp"? Listen and find out!

Radio Rebel
Episode 99
Show notes
Radio. What is it? Is it some kind of podcast, maybe? Or possibly a Winamp skin? If you find out, let the producers of 2012 DCOM Radio Rebel know, because I think they'd really appreciate it.
Radio Rebel tells the story of Tara, a shy teen with a secret double life as Radio Rebel, an inexplicably popular Seattle-wide radio host whose entire shtick appears to be telling people to be their real selves, talking about things happening in one specific high school, and then playing Peter Gabriel records. But when her enraged principal threatens to cancel prom unless Radio Rebel's identity is revealed, Tara's house of lies threatens to come crashing down, to the presumed bemusement of everyone in Seattle who doesn't go to her school. Can Tara and Radio Rebel coexist? How do you expose Banksy? And what the hell is a morp? Listen and find out!

Encino Woman
Episode 98
Show notes
Remember Encino Man? The 1992 comedy movie about a caveman who gets thawed out and must adjust to life in the 20th century? Well, our advice would be to cling to that relatively positive memory like your life depended on it, because the straight-to-TV sequel Encino Woman (1996) is quite possibly the worst film we've ever seen.
When unsuccessful ad executive David Hosenfelt is attacked in his home by a roaming cavewoman, he finds his luck turns as 'Lucy' becomes the face of a lucrative fashion campaign for a fragrance called Primal. Sounds like a reasonable premise for a movie, right? Listener, you are unfortunately mistaken. Grit your teeth as we recap a movie that was, remarkably, never re-broadcast or released on any home media. Although that fact gets less remarkable the longer you watch.

Zapped
Episode 97
Show notes
Zoe's only just started at her new high school, but already she finds her existence beset by boys. Stinking, rude, unfocused, noisy, stinking boys. Did we mention they stink? Luckily, through a series of electrical mishaps, an app on Zoe's phone becomes boy-mind-control software, and soon Zoe has turned every boy in school into an unwilling puppet, and she begins to reshape the world according to her own girlish whims.
If you think that sounds like a troubling premise for a movie, good instincts! Luke and Andy grapple with the ramifications of Zoe (played by a young Zendaya) gleefully shattering the minds of every boy in town, and suffer their own psychological damage at the hands of Jackson, Zapped's romantic interest whose favourite novel?... well, let's just say it might surprise you.

Congo
Episode 96
Show notes
Andy deploys his 2026 wildcard (which is a movie we'll recap even if it's not a kids movie, TV movie or both), to devastating effect with Congo (1995), a jaw-droppingly stupid adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel that dares to ask the question: What if you had to go into the jungle to find special diamonds for the boss of a telecoms giant, but the whole region was guarded by a pack of genetically-altered super apes that happen to look like men trampolining around in unconvincing suits. Also: You have brought along a gorilla that can speak thanks to the magic of technology, but it mostly wants to get high. Also: Tim Curry is here, playing the worst-named character in all of time.
We could go on about Congo and its variously unhinged scenes, moments, accents, but we already have! In this episode of Mom Can't Cook! A DCOM Podcast! So hit play and strap in, frankly.

Mail to the Chief
Episode 95
Show notes
Like any 13-year-old, Kenny Witkowski is more interested in playing Mortal Karnage than he is with engaging in politics. But that all changes when it turns out an anonymous stranger he meets in a chatroom is none other than the President of the United States! If you think that sounds like a vaguely unsavoury premise for a film, well, good instincts. Buckle up for Mail to the Chief (2000), starring Randy Quaid as the titular Commander in Chief.

Lemonade Mouth
Episode 94
Show notes
Lemonade Mouth. It sounds like a disease citric acid factory workers get that makes their lower jaw fall off, but it is in fact a band. And not just any band. The most revolutionary, visionary, exemplary band that ever rocked a high school halloween bash and are possibly hallucinating the entire thing due to tainted lemonade from the 1950s.
When five misfit teens are thrown together in detention they realise they all have one thing in common: a love for incredibly innoffensive soft pop. But can their musical talents flourish in a school that makes them practice in a basement? Is their talent directly linked to the suspect lemonade they're constantly drinking? And should they just give up, because their rivals, evil band Mudslide Crush are a lot better than them? Listen and find out!

Toothless
Episode 93
Show notes
Can dentists go to heaven? That's the question that only Toothless (1997) is bold enough to ask, and also bold enough to answer: No.
This is what dead dentist Dr. Katherine Lewis discovers after she is hit by a car and wakes up in limbo, and discovers that, as punishment for her life of fixing people's mouths, she is sentenced to be the tooth fairy, visiting children's homes unseen to collect their teeth and exchange them for shiny silver coins, until such time as the powers that be decide that she has served her time and can go to heaven. But in an interesting twist, it turns out that Katherine is bad at this and so before long, she's chatting to kids, giving them advice and occasionally watching their dads undress. Will Katherine be able to make it to heaven despite her many, many crimes? Does Disney realise that not every country has the concept of a tooth fairy? And if your movie's script is bad, is it enough to just do the cabbage patch and hope for the best? Listen and find out!

Avalon High
Episode 92
Show notes
High school these days is tougher than ever, what with the pressures of social media, the looming spectre of AI and, of course, King Arthur's evil half-brother Mordred, who is always shoving you into lockers and putting plastic ants on your hot dogs.
Or at least he is if you attend Avalon High, a typical American high school that may also be the setting for the resurrection of King Arthur himself, called back to the mortal realm by a world that needs him now more than ever. But can new Avalon High student Allie discover this reincarnated Arthur's true identity? Can Mordred be stopped before he destroys Arthur and several more barbecues? And would a modern day Merlin be really annoying? The answers to these questions and more await!

The Cheetah Girls: One World
Episode 91
Show notes
The Cheetah Girls are back! Well, some of them are. It's complicated. But stick with them, because this time, they're off to Bollywood!
Still reeling from Galleria's departure for the dreaming spires of Cambridge, Chanel, Dorinda and Aqua need a win to turn their fortunes around. Great news, then, that all three of them are cast in a huge musical shooting in Mumbai, India! Bad news, however, that there is actually only one role, and the Cheetahs will need to audition against each other, something that will no doubt cause them to immediately fall out and start trying to kill each other! Can the Cheetahs stay fierce and Cheetahlicious while competing against each other? Is there more to Aqua's new boyfriend than meets the eye? And why does every elephant in India seem to want to kill Dorinda? Listen and find out!
