Bonus Episode 7: But Hey, That's High School

Sky High (2005)

Well hello there strangers! Sorry that we’ve been so radio silent for awhile, but we were busy focusing on our higher education. In many ways, it was the highest education one could receive...and now we are ready to share everything we have learned with you at the one and only SKY HIGH! By which of course I mean we just spend most of this episode yelling about how much this movie slaps and how we know it by heart at this point. So if that’s your thing, then welcome aboard. If not, the school floats and you can feel free to hop off this ride at any time. Unless you can’t fly, in which case I hope you have the number of a really good bus driver.

Emma wants her desires fulfilled and has several slips of the tongue.

Lucas demands a TV spin-off and has no eye for romance.

National Treasure (2004)

National Treasure (2004)

Get in our shady red heist van, audience. We need your help. We weren’t feeling very patriotic this Fourth of July so we decided to live vicariously through Nicolas Cage as he robs the U.S. Government blind. That’s right, we watched the modern masterpiece that is National Treasure and now we are way too hype to NOT steal the Declaration of Independence. You in? Of course you are. Oh, by the way do you have any lemons?

Emma still would and proves women can’t be trusted.

Lucas kills the mood and tries to keep things out of New York.  

Dyllan flexes his history muscles.

Susie Q (1996)

Susie Q (1996)

I know you all were expecting a normal episode today, but we had some scheduling issues. So instead, we decided to go fishing for charm bracelets in our local river to catch a bonus episode for you all! We finally cover the film fans voted for in our poll, even if we have a lot of trouble actually staying on topic while we talk about it.

Emma loses the location and loves spooky boys.

Lucas forgets his own age and hates the word straddle.

Life-Size (2000)

Sorry your Christmas present ended being a little late everyone, but since Life-Size 2 just came out, Eve dolls were on back order. But still, we wanted to celebrate the long-awaited sequel by going back to the original tale of friendship, love, and the crushing weight of a dead loved one driving you to study the dark arts. Ya, know: kids’ stuff!

Emma looks into the eyes of a proud husky and reveals her secret desires.

Lucas can’t get over the money and feels like a creep.

Bonus Episode 3: This Is Prime Time Baby

My Date With the President's Daughter (1998)

My Date With the President's Daughter (1998)

After a long wait, the DCOMedy crew finally sits down to give you the presidential treatment with a bonus episode on My Date With The President's Daughter. Join us as we discuss a film that is basically a DCOM but a little more adult since it was made for ABC. What that means is it turns out to essentially be a poorly conceived romantic comedy narrative where the writers just tried to make crazy thing after crazy thing happen to our leads. 

Emma really wants to talk about the West Wing and misses CD stores. Lucas’ audio got a little messed up and does a Southern accent.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)

The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)

As an extra sweet October treat, we decided to put on our newsboy caps and go back to the 2000's with the surprisingly theatrically released Lizzie McGuire Movie. Come with us as we journey with Lizzie to Rome as she falls for an absolute creep, is hunted by a sadistic principal, and delivers the most iconic musical performance of a generation.

Lucas played himself proves he can do accent work. Emma is hit with intense flashbacks and is concerned about her Halloween plan. Ashley is sooo ready for this.

Bonus Episode 1: Real Steel Is Real Good

Real Steel (2011)

Real Steel (2011)

Come along with Lucas and new friend Jules (@GatsbyLow) as she joins him in this extra-special, extra-long bonus episode as they take a look at the under-appreciated robot boxing movie that is Real Steel....and by take a look at I mean basically just them gushing about how much they love it. This episode also serves as an impassioned plea to Shawn Levy to make a sequel and begging him to give us a call to work on it. Just be warned dear listeners: There’s Lore Here. 

Lucas loses an argument before he can start it and body shames a robot. Jules opens her own corner and completely incriminates herself.
