    Freakier Friday

    This week we’re swapping bodies (and eras) again with Freakier Friday: the sequel that reunites Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, brings back the iconic Pink Slip soundtrack, and of course, Chad Michael Murray as the early-2000s heartthrob of our dreams. We're breaking down every chaotic, hilarious, and heartfelt moment and all the millennial nostalgia... yes, that means October 3rd, a wink to Meredith Blake, and the Disney Channel-era magic that defined a generation. **Bonus Jonas** (00:02:02) We’re reliving the history-making Camp Rock reunion with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato at MetLife (yes, it was really good). (00:07:07) Plus, could a Hannah Montana anniversary special really be on the horizon? We’re crossing our fingers for the best of both worlds.

We're breaking down the band, the bops, and why Bandslam deserved way more love.
