Movie Surfing: A Disney Channel (Un) Original Podcast

We're back on schedule with one last extra-long dive back into one of the most recognized DCOM franchises of all time: Its finally time to finish Descendants!

Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, and pretty much every character you liked or didn't like from the previous two movies are back, and most of them don't have nearly as much to do. The alternate Disney character lore gets even more complex and contradictory, and ...

NEW SEASON? NEW RELEASE DAY?

The holiday hiatus lasted so long that we've been blasted all the way into Season 2!

We're finally back for our bi-monthly DCOM nostalgia and filmmaking feelings meeting to break down the much-requested 2011 musical: Lemonade Mouth.

The authority will be questioned, the romances will be uncomfortable, and for once Ben will be more familiar with the movie than Delaney...

We're alive (but barely), and we come bearing gifts! 

Get through the rest of 2021 with this holiday playlist inspired by the support systems of our favorite DCOM characters, with contributions from: 

• Kevin Jonas's character from Camp Rock
• Dude the Dog from Descendants 
• Ryan from High School Musical
• and more!

Did you miss us?

After some laryngitis-related difficulties, Delaney and Ben are back with a Super Short Show to answer the question no one asked: which supernatural DCOM characters would win in a fight?

Is one Harold the Mummy more powerful than the other? Which Twitch would reign supreme? Will Ben and Delaney ever have a system better than their own whims for making these DCOM brackets? Tune in and find out! <...

The time has come for the culmination of Spooky Season!

We are down one host for this Super Short Show, but Ben is still here to give recommendations for DCOMs to add to your Halloweekend rotation (that aren't Halloweentown or Twitches) so you can impress your friends with esoteric DCOM preferences and spooky surprises. 

Let us know what movies you're watching to celebrate this weekend, and share your st...

It’s a Movie Surfing first! We are covering a REMAKE of a classic DCOM! This week we are discussing the 2021 version of “Under Wraps,” so if you haven’t listened to our coverage of the OG, we highly suggest that you check it out. 

“Under Wraps” tells the story of a group of kids who must reunite a magically re-animated mummy named Harold with his long-lost love before he turns to dust on Halloween night. We had a great tim...

BRING ON THE SPOOKY SEASON!
Join Delaney and Ben as they break down the surprisingly unsettling Halloween(?) DCOM classic from the turn of the millennium, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. This one has it all: the goofy aunt from Sabrina, the dad from Lizzie McGuire, and Mr. Sheffield from the Nanny, all wonderfully mis-cast and confused. Buckle up (and knuckle down); this one is a wild ride.


Thanks for listen...

Welcome to the first ever Movie Surfing Super Short Show! We thought it would be fun to spend this first episode sorting fan-favorite DCOM characters into their Hogwarts houses! In future segments we hope to feature YOUR ideas. We want to hear your all of your DCOM-related reviews, thoughts, stories, games, and more! You can send any and all Super Short Show ideas to us directly at moviesurfingpod@gmail.com. We hope you enjoy this ...

It’s officially Spooky Season, and we are diving right in with Twitches Too! (If you haven’t listened to last year’s coverage of Twitches, now would be a great time to check that out!) This sequel follows twin witches Alex and Cameryn (Tia and Tamera Mowry) as they try to juggle royal duties, college classes, and boys—all while trying to prevent the return of their evil uncle step-dad Thantos. We are so excited to cover more of our...

It’s almost time for Spooky Season, so we’ve decided to bridge the gap with a pseudo-spooky movie: Now You See It. This DCOM tells the story of an aspiring junior TV producer who may have accidentally booked an actual sorcerer on a kids’ magic reality show. Now You See It is full of twists and turns and features the talents of heavy-hitters like Aly Michalka and Frank Langella. Tune in now to find out if this ambitious film lives u...

Hey Movie Surfers! We're coming to you this week with another classic summer vacation DCOM: The Even Stevens Movie. It's the Even Stevens series finale, and it does not disappoint. We get to follow the wacky Stevens clan on what they THINK is a luxury vacation, but turns out to be a much wilder bonding experience than they bargained for. It's a goofy movie full of unexpected twists, and it's a pretty good time (...

Hey there, Movie Surfers! Summer may be winding down, but it’s only just begun for the stars of Teen Beach Movie. When Brady and Mack get sucked into a 1960’s movie musical, they’ll have to sing and dance their way back to the real world if there’s any hope of saving their relationship. This DCOM was new to both of us, and we had a great time covering it, even if it left us with some troublesome tunes stuck in our heads. Thank you ...

Hey Movie Surfers-long time no see! We are sorry for the delay, but we are so stoked to be back with a new episode this week! Ben’s dreams have finally come true and we are discussing another Lawrence Brothers classic, Horse Sense. If you love farms, horse races, or whittling sticks, you’ll probably love this movie. We definitely had lots of thoughts about it, and we can’t wait to hear yours! We also wanted to give a big welcome to...

Hey Movie Surfers! In honor of Father’s Day, we’ve decided to change things up a bit, and on this episode we have crafted a series of head-to-head match-ups to determine who will be crowned the ultimate DCOM Dad. We will post our bracket on the socials, so you can follow along, and we would love to see who wins YOUR bracket. Tune in now to find out who got our final spot, and don’t forget to subscribe, review, and share the show wi...

Welcome back, Movie Surfers! This week, we’re going international with our coverage of The Lizzie McGuire Movie! In this classic Disney flick, Lizzie McGuire gets the European vacation of her dreams when an Italian pop star asks her to stand in for his duet partner at a major awards show. Will Lizzie see through Paolo’s charm? Will Matt embarrass his sister on a global scale? Will we ever get to enjoy the cookies that the hotel ser...

We’ve finally caved and decided to give the people what they want, so fasten your seatbelts for our coverage of High School Musical 2. The good news is that all your favorite characters have returned for the sequel. The bad news is that the East High gang is stuck working summer jobs and it’s kind of a bummer. Will Sharpay win yet another Star Dazzle Award? Will Ryan get the gay backstory we all desire? Will Troy and Gabriella EVER...
