166: Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century w/ Jennifer DiBella

•

Zetus lapetus, it's about time we covered one of the EIGHT Disney Channel Original movies that came out in '99, and who better to do it with than someone who auditioned to be in Zenon: Z3, actress Jennifer Lauren DiBella?


While movies like The Matrix and The Blair Witch project were redefining cinema as we know it at the local megaplex, DCOMs were the talk of the schoolyard for 90s kids who couldn't convince their parents to take them to see Stuart Little for the 5th time. Today, Phil is finally taking the plunge into this pre-teen cultural phenomenon. Do these films stand the test of time as classics major, or should they be left to rot in 20th century TV jail. This is Zenon: Girl of the 21st century
