    Miracle in Lane 2 tells the inspirational story of Justin Yoder, the first person with a disability to compete in the All American Soapbox Derby, and also presumably the first person to sit in a Disney screening room watching a movie about his life that inexplicably features loads of scenes of his parents going to town on each other.
    Frankie Muniz plays Justin, a plucky kid searching for a sport in which he can compete at the same level as his athletic brother Seth (So Weird's Patrick Levis). When he discovers soap box derby racing, it seems like Justin has found his calling, but will the set in their ways derby association allow him to compete with his modified car? Will crusty local misanthrope Old Man Vic share his wealth of soapbox knowledge with this wannabe racer? Is the driver essentially ballast? Listen and find out!

    Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board

    Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board

    The iconic good-vibes surfin', boardin' legend from Johnny Tsunami (1999) makes a glorious return to the Disney Channel in 'Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board' (2007)!
    Johnny returns to O‘ahu, Hawaii for his grandfather's wedding, but finds the island paradise under the cruel yoke of a gang of mountainboarding teens! Can Johnny save his increasingly large family from the poisonous influence of these bad dudes and their strikingly terrible extreme sport? Why won't his tiny uncle stop slipping through the fabric of reality? And is Johnny Tsunami a business genius, or is he just really high? As with all DCOMs, Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board poses more questions than it offers answers.

    The Jennie Project

    The Jennie Project

    Apes. What are they all about? Can we trust them? Are they going to go ballistic and destroy our houses? If only there were some way we could ask them.
    Well friends, there is: sign language, the communication method that can be learned by apes. Unfortunately the ape in this movie, Jennie, isn't really interested in learning sign language, and is more interested in ape carnage and killing the mailman. Will Jennie be able to adjust to living with a human family? How quickly is she going to destroy all of their relationships? And can an ape go to prison?

    Going to the Mat

    Going to the Mat

    Jace Newfield is a New Yorker through and through. He loves jazz music, playing baseball in Central Park and, of course, the great taste of an egg cream. He's also a person who is blind, although in a place like the Big Apple, he lives a normal life with his friends.
    But when his family uproots and moves Jace to Utah, he finds himself struggling with his new surroundings. The school won't get a beeping backboard to allow him to play basketball, his music teacher hates him, and his classmates don't seem to appreciate him walking around loudly talking about how great New York is, and how everyone in Utah is a toothless hillbilly who wouldn't know culture if it spit in their egg cream. Can joining the wrestling team give Jace a new sense of purpose and belonging? Why is this movie about wrestling and not jazz music? What the hell is an egg cream?

    Can of Worms

    Can of Worms

    We all feel like we don't belong on this planet now and then, but very few of us choose to construct an intergalactic satellite communications dish in our backyard to beg aliens to come and pick us up, and even fewer of us have those calls answered by a talking dog with a necklace made of lips.
    Not so Mike Pillsbury, an awkward computer genius who decides to depart planet Earth when some bullies set fire to his skeleton roundabout (it's a long story). Mike soon gets more than he bargained for however, when the worst scum of the universe make a beeline for his front door, looking to exploit the hitherto undiscovered human race. Will Mike make good on his promise to leave Earth? And why do all these aliens all have human teeth?

    Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off

    Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off

    Imagine, if you will, some cooking. Seems pretty normal, right? Well get this: it was done by a BOY.
    Sorry to shock you with such a mind shattering scenario, listeners, but you'll need to be thusly prepared for this week's episode which is about Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off, a movie in which baseball-loving teen Eddie Ogden discovers a passion for the culinary arts that is as charming as it is devastating to his personal and academic life. Will Eddie be able to overcome the violent ridicule of his peers to pursue his love of cooking? How will he balance his love of baseball and baking, two apparently mutually exclusive things? Does he have what it takes to impress Iron Chef Bobby Flay who is here for some reason at the grand Million Dollar Cook-Off of the title?

Obsessed

This show is hilarious. I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. 10/10 would listen again.

Grand Laughs

I’ve only just listened to a couple of episodes for this podcast, but it’s fantastic and I’m definitely going to listen to all the rest. I knew these two from Outside Xbox, so I already knew I’d have fun, and I was proven right. There’s a particular kind of comedy where someone comes up with an absurd concept and describes it as having happened with a completely earnest deadpan that absolutely cracks me up, so you can imagine my delight when it turned out that Luke and Andy do this bit literally every chance they get regarding what happens in the movies. If you’re looking for exactly the comedy style I’ve described, please consider listening!

Absurdly, Irrationally Hilarious

I laugh out loud, often to the point of pain, at every episode. The energy between Luke and Andy is so much fun, and I appreciate that they clearly love DCOMs while also making as many jokes as possible at their expense.
