Cooler Than Homework #014 – The Color of Friendship & Media That Taught Us Something

Previously: We watched our first superhero DCOM!

Sweeney: This is a very exciting time for me because we have finally entered a stretch of movies that are very familiar to me. From this point forward there are only a handful that I don’t know until we get to the contemporary era. This one was also exciting for me because it’s one that I remember loving – but that’s always risky because you never know how those things are going to hold up.

Spoiler alert, this movie (the first DCOM to win an Emmy) holds up pretty well and 4/4 of us loved it. This week also happens to be the 20th anniversary of this movie premiering on the Disney Channel, which is mostly just a lucky coincidence for us and not the product of active planning.

Hear all our thoughts and feelings about this movie 20 years later, as well as some other media that we were moved by as children:

I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
