"How have we never heard off this DCOM?" Is the #4 question we ask ourselves. Preceded by is the math mathing, is the science sciencing, and is the logic logicing?  The answers to all of the above mig...

Send us Fan Mail The Disney Deviants are finally back with DCOM for you! We know we made you shiver with anticipation (Did you miss us 😏) and for good reason!

Send us Fan Mail Our movie this week is a throwback to undergrad minus the undergrad, plus the junior high, times a whole lot of hijinks! That's right, this week we watched Genius!

This week we delve into the all too familiar world of Kim Possible and her (supposed to to be) bumbling sidekick Ron Stoppable as we watch 2019's Kim Possible DCOM! Did this DCOM live up to our Disney Channel Original fantasies? Shall we count the ways? Shego = Hot Drakken  = certainly evil (but more Doofenschmirtz than Drakken) Shego ...

Send us Fan Mail This week we discuss a movie that's been lost to the DCOM vault....until now! And we may  have inadvertently discovered why! Can of Worms is the 6th Disney Channel Original Movie, and if you've never  seen this DCOM but the name sounds familiar, that's because it was based on a 1999 book of the same name by Kathy Mackel, who also wrote the screenplay! #GirlPower  We...

Certified hotties Mandy Moore and Zach Levi(!) We are introduced to some voices we now freak...
