We're back with more Lizzie McGuire! This time we're talking about the original pilot episode that was shot 6 months prior to the show getting picked up! It's smartly written and a great introduction to the world with a lot of heart.

We're talkin' all about the 1997 slasher flick, IKWYDLS! Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe. This movie was written by the co-creator of Scream. How does it compare? Well, the villain of this movie is Home Depot Dad... so that's one distinction.

In possibly our funniest episode yet, we break down "Monkey Business" from 1998, a quintessential bad movie -- starring Jay Thomas, Richard Moll, Shia LaBeouf and Brenden Jefferson... among others. Hold on tight, folks. This is a CRAAAAZY ride.

Our DCOMathon continues with "You Wish!" starring AJ Trauth, Lalaine and Spencer Breslin. This is a pretty monstrous episode for a DCOM. We inexplicably talked for 5 and a half hours and edited it down to a hopefully digestible 2h22m.
In addition to our thorough plot point breakdown, we also share some You Wish-related clips from our Even Stevens Ranked interview with AJ, highlight a ton of fashion in the movie, and imagine the Lizzie McGuire/Even Stevens crossover that never was.

Join us on our first trip to 2003 as we recap the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards! We cover it all... Commercials included! It was super fun to take a closer look at the back end of the Phaze here. These award show episodes are proving to be the most time capsule-y of all!

It's time to talk about the greatest Dream Street movie you've never seen... The Biggest Fan from 2002, officially released in 2005.
In this episode, we briefly travel into the future to take a look at what was happening by the time this very dated movie was finally released! We dive head first into the history of Dream Street as a boy band and share fan stories from Ethan's best friend Taylor! (Our resident Dream Street historian and Chris Trousdale super fan).
As a change of pace, we opted for a more free-flowing discussion of this truly ridiculous movie that is essentially every "y/n" fan fic come to life! The conversation covers a few other tangentially related topics such as: the evolution of boy bands and state of pop culture post-Dream Street, Jesse McCartney, Brittany's few experiences with boy band fan fiction and the history of fan fiction in general. For the first time on this podcast, we also hear some thoughts on the movie from Jeannie Butler (Brittany's mom)!

We're talking all about Are You Afraid of the Dark's three-part special from Season 7, The Tale of the Silver Sight! There's a lot of fun to be had here... From some genuine scares, some hilarious music/sound effect cues and some of the best (by 'best' we mean worst) acting we've seen on this podcast so far. It's incredible! Shout out to Grandma Aggie!

Happy 2025! In our first episode of the new year, we're taking a look back at the short-lived, Disney Channel Canadian-American medical drama about teenage EMTs... In A Heartbeat!
It's kinda forgotten a bit these days, but the show made a notable impact on some kids who watched it back then! Of course we've gotta highlight it!
We talk all about the pilot episode, the real life squad that inspired the show, and multiple Degrassi connections! Our “What Was Happening” segment also has a focus on trendy fashion & school accessories of the time.

We cover a whole slew of topics: The history of the Y2K Bug, Y2K fears, a special year-end "What Was Happening" segment for 1999, and a variety of NYE telecasts! We also share personal memories, thoughts on technological advancements and the moment we each felt like "the future is here."

Happy December! It's Christmas... in March? We're talking all about the classic Aaron Carter episode of Lizzie McGuire! A sort of "Christmas episode" that really isn't a Christmas episode at all, but it's good enough for us this holiday season!
We break down the episode and share our general Lizzie memories as we finally discuss one of the most iconic, quintessential Y2K childhood shows.
