Vanessa, Candace, and Alex talk about the 1999 DCOM Johnny Tsunami, a perfect film for the season as it teaches you how to make the most of being ripped from paradise and thrown into a snowy, class-based ski/snowboard town. That is, as long as you have transferrable athletic ability, your own stunt doubles, and the ability to shrug off Brett's not so clever insults.

Vanessa, Candace, Arezou, and Chelsea talk about the first Disney Channel Original Christmas Movie, The Ultimate Christmas Present. They talk about the horrifying global warming implication of Santa's snow machine, the too-intense weatherman, and Brenda Song supremacy.

Vanessa and Candace talk about the High School Musical-meets-Descendants musical, and debate the physical implications of what a zombie society means.

Did you know Ariel came face to face with dinosaurs? We're looking back at the 90s animated TV series The Little Mermaid. Ariel is a teenage mermaid who lives under the sea with her father, the sea king, her six sisters, and various friends. Together, they try to keep harm away from Atlantica as enemies try to ruin their peaceful kingdom. Ariel takes viewers on underwater adventures into caves, meeting humans and singing songs. Among Ariel's animal friends are Sebastian, a crab who acts as a babysitter for Ariel, and Ariel's best friend, a tropical fish named Flounder. Based on the popular 1989 Disney animated feature film.

Vanessa and Candace marvel how this movie was even made. Kirk Cameron does act his heart out, we'll give him that.

Vanessa, Candace, and Maggie discuss this DCOM classic for St. Patrick's Day. Wear your green and join us on this nostalgic ride that shows us if it wasn't hard enough being high school, how about if you also were a leprechaun who depended on a magic coin to be cool? Sláinte!

It's our last straight-to-home-video episode before we switch to DCOMs! Today, Candace, Vanessa and Mack are talking about Brother Bear 2.

We watched it and regret it. In an Italian village, the wooden puppet Pinocchio is brought to life by the Blue Fairy and seeks the life of adventure while striving to be a real boy. Pinocchio's life is turned upside down when he leaves his father to follow the circus.

We also discuss the Marvel characters we would like in a series of short films.
