    Space Stations, Smart House & Slam Dunk (Da Funk)

    We had our own cinematic universe growing up, and it lived on Disney Channel. We’re going back to the era of Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, Halloweentown, Smart House, Brink! and Cadet Kelly — the movies that had us dreaming of futuristic space stations, rollerblading our way through life and wondering why our houses couldn’t talk to us. We’re reminiscing about the iconic soundtracks, questionable CGI, unforgettable fashion and wildly imaginative storylines that made these movies so special. From teen witches and robot moms to intergalactic adventures and over-the-top dance scenes, we’re unpacking what made DCOMs a defining part of growing up in the late ’90s and 2000s. Whether you were counting down to the next Disney Channel premiere, rewatching your favorite movie for the hundredth time or convinced your own life was one makeover away from becoming a DCOM, this episode is a trip back to the Disney Channel era we’ll never stop talking about.
