Inside The Disney Vault

It's a body swap, y'all and fortunately Jason Saenz (@jasoncsaenz) is here to dissect this simple story made bonkers and confusing. Old cell phones act as totems which accidentally SWAP Ellie and Jack's bodies. GET THIS, they each have a big event coming up that is IMPERATIVE they do well for. Fortunately the pair figure out pretty quickly the mystical magical logic that they have to help each others' lives to improve their own and do some real healing. Tell us what your totem would look like @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

We have a ton of kids to babysit this week, fortunately Voice Actor Triya Leong (@triyp on instagram) joins us to help break apart one cRaZy night! A remake of the classic 80s film, this movie offers not one but TWO babysitters! Jenny and Lola both find themselves babysitting on the same night, not before long, the two households combine to go on an all night adventure where everything that can go wrong DOES. The two sitters do all they can to take care of the kids, while not letting on to their parents that many many many things have gone awry that require parent attention. Tell us your craziest babysitting stories @ITDVpodcast on Twitter!

We're going back to the 90s when Presidents and their kids were all the rage in movies! Duncan really wants a date and Hallie really wants to get away from her Secret Service detail. Duncan manages to run into her and has NO idea she's the first kid (not to be confused with First Kid (1996)) and asks her out. An exciting night of hijinks ensues after they eschew the suits. What hors d'oeuvres would you snack on? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

We're joined by comedian Roland Mechanik (@roland_mechanik in instagram) for a freaky Halloween! Smart gal Cleo feels invisible, until she actually turns her sister Molly invisible with science!!! Naturally, Cleo has to pose as Molly all day and not a soul questions that it's a different human living out very important activities specific to Molly's life and future. It's ALSO Halloween and boy do we get some invisible antics and amazing CG graphics. What would your immediate plan be if you turned your sister invisible? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on Twitter!

We have a ball with H. Alan Scott (@HAlanScott) and strangely don't GO to a ball in this sensation inspired by almost every Disney classic imaginable. A huge moment in DCOM history, some of our favorite villains' offspring find themselves in a land far away from their own land of outcasts. Will their "wicked to the core" personas fit into a school of princes and princesses? Will their parents get revenge? Will family drama prevail? Will there be a sequel? To all, YES. Tell us if you think Descendants is a musical @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

Teen Beach 2 comes to life inside the vault as CheeChee herself, Chrissie Fit (@chrissiefit), joins us at the beach for a very Wet Side Story.

We get some charming behind the scenes scoops as we make our way through another impeccably choreographed romp of a time. Tell us what you thought of Teen Beach 2 @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

We're joined by actor and comedian Alexia Dox (@alexiadox) for what starts as a bad hair day and continues as unrelated chaos. Super coder Monica can't make a decision without polling a very attentive follower base, on prom day all her plans go awry as she's met by a suspicious "FBI" agent looking for a necklace she recently bought. The two go off on a madcap adventure and there are about one hundred more plot points where those come from! Let us know what kind of hair day you're having @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

We take a trip to the Silly Symphony for one of Walt Disney's first cartoon shorts. Tell us what you thought of the short @ITDVPodcast!

Danielle Perez (@DivaDelux) ventures into a secret lab with us... that's very easy to escape from. Mae and Gabby just want a date for the dance, so they use ~the internet~ to design one, unknowingly hacking into a top secret government system. Things begin to look up when Mae's new super-hunk arrives at school, however the gals have no idea where he came from or that the army is looking for Albert (him), who isn't actually human, but IS a robot designed to be used as a weapon. Tell us what your bot-friend would be like @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

Emily Gonzalez (@emilyagonz) joins us for a ZENDAYA movie and/or And this time it really stars Zendaya!!!1!!

We're joined by David Brown (@davidbrownpants) for one part Brink, one party Johnny Tsunami, one part Cow Belles, one part Life Is Ruff, all parts DCOM! Kayla is a superstar snowboarder-OR SO SHE THOUGHT until she gets kicked off the team and broken up with in the same day. If that weren't enough, she's sentenced to groom dogs with the boy who created the ~Cloud 9~ and puts in the work to prove to everyone she has what it takes to rule the slopes for real. Tell us what you thought of these dog and/or snowboard tricks @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

We take a special trip with Drew Mackie (@drewgmackie) to a time when Disney musicals were live action AND animated. Lil' Orphan Pete has a magical dragon names Elliot who can go invisible!

Oh don't worry, there's a traveling salesman and his assistant after Elliot, as well! Tell us your favorite Pete's Dragon banger @ITDVPodcast!

We surf into a wet side story with Daniélle Hill (@dahill486) and Abbie Scott (@abbienichole_rd), the cohosts of Real Life Pod (@reallifepodad). Two teens find themselves inside of a musical inside of Rip Girls/Johnny Tsunami inside of an immediate and intense romantic quarrel.

We're joined by musical maven, Rachel Bloom (@racheldoesstuff on instagram), to get our heads in the game one last time for a High School Musical meta-musical that must be seen to be understood. Even then, we have a hard time understanding what this musical within a musical is about. We chat a bunch about our own theatrical performances as the curtain falls on the HSM movie franchise. Tell us which role you'd play in the HSM universe @ITDVPodcast

Another year, another SPOOKY DCOM! James III joins us to break down this NEW (to us) Halloween trope about monsters that look like ghosts who each belong to one person and haunt them individually to live off their fear. Fortunately there are monster HUNTERS and Skylar learns she's one of them! However, Sky's never felt FEAR before, but now that her monster's loose, she has to save the town via some precarious rooftop acrobatics AND sing in front of an audience- all in one night! Tell us what your fear monster looks like @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

Things get theatrical as we're joined by Tessa Hersh for a modern spin on Cyrano de Bergerac. Rhyming couplets are replaced with rhyming flows as Cyrus wins a songwriting contest, only to be confused with his friend Kris and, get this, they're BOTH interested in Roxie. Cyrus continues to write for Kris and impress Roxie, but how long can the ruse go on!? An amazing cast and wonderful music numbers make this DCOM shine! Tell us what you thought of Lord of Da Bling's insults at @ITDVPodcast ont twitter!

We tap into our DJ personas and get the "real" behind the scenes scoop this week with Michael Limentato (@Limentaco) as we chat Radio Rebel. This is the film that brought us the iconic Debby Ryan shy smile. A true moment in DCOM lore. What's a girl to do when her secret radio dj identity gets hired to dj for a real radio station and ends up driving her principal aboslutely wild? Create history. Tell us what you thought of Radio Rebel @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

We decide the real definition of "frenemies" with Talia Tabin (@taliatabin) as we gear up for a DCOM starring Zendaya!!!!! Or...that's what it looks like from the cover art. It's more like three separate mini DCOMS linked by two ethereal beings that may or may not be visible to human beings. Either way, we enjoy breaking down this departure from the traditional DCOM format, which also manages to tick a lot of DCOM boxes! Tell us who your frenemies are @ITDVPodcast in twitter!

We take a trip to the Magical Casa Madrigal with the effervescent Jess Eason (@jesspatsox). We discuss the magical power of representation, family, and banging tunes! We delight in a story that examines family dynamics and celebrates what makes us different and what keeps us together. Which special power would you like to have? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

It's the most wonderful time of the year in the vault and we find ourselves on an impromptu road trip with podcaster Andrew Ambrose Lee (@aundrewalee) and the cast of Good Luck, Charlie. Mom and Teddy get separated from their family and many public altercations and modes of transportation later, we go from a road trip movie to a capture the flag action adventure in the desert. Mom and Dad have some big news to share with the family, which still doesn't excuse mom's insane behavior. Which shop owner do you most identify with? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on twitter!
