Teen Movie Time Machine

Happy New Years Teen Movie Time Machine Babes! Can’t think of a better way to ring in 2025 than by traveling back to 2003 to break down, From Justin to Kelly! Thank god we’ve got Chad Westbrook here to help us make sense of the insanity! Is it a movie? Is it a musical? Is it Kelly Clarkson’s 9th circle of hell? It’s certainly unlike anything we’ve seen before or since. This movie has it all, sprin...

Hello TMTM lovelies! Against all odds we are back this week to talk about the Beyoncé vehicle, Austin Powers in Goldmember! Joining us for a SECOND time to talk about this film is Jordan Kulow!! What can be said about this film? It is a movie of bits strung together to create what some could call, a plot?? Of course it’s wild costumes, wild accents, wild jokes, and more Mike Meyers then you can im...

Welcome back to Teen Movie Time Machine, and welcome to the pop star capsule! On our first episode outside of DCOM’s we had to make it Britney, bitch. Ashley England is here to talk about the power of girls on a roadtrip and iconic karaoke and the in between when you’re “not a girl, not yet a woman.” On a serious note, this is coming out on Election Day 2024. We hope this episode entertains and di...

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL and the last day of DCOM’s! The day has finally come to say goodbye to our insane, perfect, wonderfully nonsensical Disney Chanel Originals. It was only fitting to have Claire Woolcott here in the flesh to talk about, High School Musical 3! We gather to watch, in person, a work of art this week. We talk high school romance, a once in a lifetime talent (Zachy E!) C...

This week on TMTM we’re taking the stage one last time with The Cheetah Girls: One World. So of course, we had to get Sarah James back to the library to rent this one! This movie is the embodiment of staying at a party too long. We had a great time but the party is OVER! For a movie that filmed on location, in India, for 4 months it surely doesn’t feel like it loll. We missed Raven big time, but a...

This week on TMTM we HAD to bring in our multiverse aficionado, Aaron Perine to talk about Jett Jackson: The Movie! At its core it’s a simple story about an action star who's convinced his hit TV show to take over his small town (which becomes the backbone of his community??). But in reality it’s the blending of reality and fantasy, it’s fictional characters in our world, real people in a fictiona...

This week on TMTM, we are… well, jumping in to Jump In! And thankfully Meghan Murphy is here to help us break it all down. Who knew that double dutch is such an intense sport? Or that boxing involves so much back flipping? Not us! But we do know that Keke Palmer is a STAR, baby! We get into everything in this episode, from maybe or maybe not winning cheerleading nationals, to having been (or maybe...

This week on our inaugural episode of Teen Movie Time Machine, we are joined by our sister Claire Woolcott to break down the most hallowed of films, The Lizzie McGuire Movie! We talk about everything, from Lizzie’s matching shirt/sock combo, the intensity of “sing to me, Paolo,” and the dangers of pranks between siblings. Have fun and see you in two weeks!

This week on GMTD we’re doing things a liiiiiittle different! We finally sit down to explain ourselves and answer all the though questions including: why we’ve been gone so long, and what the future of the podcast holds! Apart from *BiG AnNoUnCeMeNtS* we stray from our DCOM roots to talk about the teen classic, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This formative film shaped us into the people we...

Happy Season 5 finale GMTD babies! We have a treat, treat, treat for you! We have author Sarah James here to break down “High School Musical 2!” Without missing a beat, we are dropped right back into East High and “What Time Is It?” SUMMERTIME! Students are literally counting down the seconds to freedom— wait, scratch that— counting down the seconds to getting jobs. Never have you ever met a group...

Hello Give Me That D fam! Get out your tissues, because this one is emotionalllll. We’re breaking down “A Ring of Endless Light” with one of our dearest, Adrienne Teeley! Now, this is an interesting film because it’s not so much a “DCOM” as it is a HEART WRENCHING drama that left all of us weeping. This film finds three siblings arriving on an island to spend the summer with their beloved Grandfat...

Happy New Year!! GMTD is back with a truly psychotic film, “The Proud Family Movie.” Thank GOD we have Damon Royster here to help us make sense of the madness! This ain’t the TV show, let’s just say THAT. But if you love peanuts, boy are you in for a the ride of your life. It would be easier to say what this movie DOESN’T have, but just to whet your appetite, there’s a secret formula used in a “po...

“Wake up and pee! The world’s on fire!” Happy Holidays, GMTD babies! This week is a TRUE Christmas gift, “Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve” with Ryan Parseghian! As Ryan says, this is a film that can only be described as “a gay corporate film” and clearly a “catalyst for Ron DeSantis’ anti-woke movement.” This film truly is a masterpiece of “gay realism,” scenes exclusively starting with drinking or w...

This week on GMTD, we have the incomparable Elissa Marcus here to talk about (according to IMDB “trivia”) one of the most obscure DCOMs of all time — Buffalo Dreams! This movie is about a boy named Josh who moves to New Mexico with his science loving dad and “culinary anthropologist” mom. Josh is OBSESSED with biking (as is this movie) to the point we felt like the title should be called “Biking D...

GMTD babies! We’re energized yet traumatized this week because we watched “Hounded”! And here to trauma bond with us is Myke Thompson (whose life eerily mirrors the exact plot of this movie???). If we’re being honest, this movie is mostly about a possessed pomeranian who absolutely ruins the lives of two separate families. It is one of the most insane and hard to watch DCOMs these humble hosts hav...

Calling all witches! This week on GMTD, we are wrapping up the iconic Halloweentown franchise with Return to Halloweentown! And here to help us, as is tradition, are Maggie Smith and Kyle Mantegna of the Roommate Lovers podcast! This movie has a lot going on, but the most notable (and questionable) thing is that Marnie, our main character, is RE-CAST! Halloweentown without Kimberly J. Brown feels...

Welcome to spooky SZN, witches! This week on GMTD, we’re breaking down “Twitches Too” with our switch (sister witch) Claire Woolcott! This movie is a mess from top to bottom, but WOW are Tia and Tamera watchable! This movie starts exactly where we left off with the first installment (we think???), but with more animosity and worse acting??? Once again, a shadow presence is threatening the kingdom...

Buckle up kids, because this week’s Give Me That D is a wild one! Lauren Leland is here to break down “Tiger Cruise” and no, it’s not a movie about a riverboat through the jungle like Katelyn thought. This is not just a movie about Navy brats (but don’t ever call them that), a disintegrating father/daughter relationship, or the families of people in the Navy. It is also, if not most importantly, a...

Calling all GMTD listeners and any clones out there, this week we have Alice Lahoda here to discuss The Other Me! Following a young yo-yo wielding slacker named Will (a Lawrence Brother, but not the one you want), this movie is a cautionary tale of what happens when you accidentally clone yourself. Thinking he can get out of doing homework and chores, Will has Twoie (the clone, obviously) fill in...

GMTD listeners! Jodie Meis is here this week to talk about the treat, treat, treat of a film, Cow Belles! There’s something about a movie staring sisters that reallyyyyyy hits the spot. Is this movie a spiritual successor to a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie? Feels like it!! Following two privileged daughters of a dairy factory owner, these girls need to learn the importance of hard work and responsibi...

Hello GMTD hotties! Jake and Katelyn are flying solo — we’re SORRY! We’ll have guests back, we swear! But luckily this week, no guest was necessary for Princess Protection Program. A movie that truly left us with more questions than the ones we came in with, and we came in with a lot! It’s so great to see our girls Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato together on screen (RIP their friendship). Now, does D...

Give Me That D listeners! We have SUCH a fun episode for you this week with our horse-girl sister, Claire Woolcott! We’re breaking down (literally in tears at one point) the CLASSIC “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” What DOESN’T this movie have? Miley Cyrus, a true STAR gives us COMEDY, gives us DRAMA, gives us VOICE, and she was only 15! Now, does this movie choose violence? Yes. Does Miley/Hannah get...

Happy Season 4 finale all you GMTD lovers out there! We have a major, lunarious, supernova of a TREAT for you this week with “Zenon: Z3.” And here breaking it down with us is our best pal Meghan Murphy! Now, when we say “treat” we’re strictly talking about the episode and NOT the movie. This “film” (HUGE quotes) has some acting that will make anyone think, “Huh, I think I could do that. Maybe I sh...

GMTD community, We know we have been remiss in not giving you, our loyal and devoted fans, an update. Well here you go!!! We are so sorry for our silence. An issue (ahem, the entire apple corporation) came up that was out of our control! We will be back for 2 more eps to finish out this season and back full swing in the Summer. Thank you so much for your support! We missed and love you all! Enjoyy...

GMTD squad we have a Wonderful World of Disney treat for you this week with, Toothless! Jake and Katelyn are solo again, and good thing because we have A LOT TO SAY! Tooth fairy hijinks, afterlife tomfoolery and green screen mayhem abound in this wild film! This pro dentist propaganda (paid for by Big Dentistry no doubt!!!) is as confusing as it is fun, and even features one (1) scene where the ac...
