did you ever watch eddie's million dollar cook off? thats was like the first foundational gay movie of my childhood despite the whole no one is gay in it thing.
Hahaha! I did, that wasn’t one of my Big Gay DCOM Experiences personally, but I can see how it would be.
I was The Most Gay for Kirsten Storms in middle school; it was painful. (Hence doing a book report in 6th grade on Zenon, where she runs around in head-to-toe spandex the whole time.) I also had a lot of confusing aroused feelings towards the entirety of Johnny Tsunami because Kirsten Storms AND Lee Thompson Young, whom I am still so, so sad about like at least once a week.
And GENIUS, which is another Criminally Underrated DCOM, imo. I was just telling Catie @harrythighles that I loved it despite being a Sports DCOM because it had Tiny Emmy Rossum On Ice Skates and there was nothing that middle school me did not love about that.
Although, can we be real for a second, because I have a real DCOM question: why the fuck were Lauren Maltby, Courtnee Draper, and, moreso, freaking Kimberly J. Brown in EVERY DCOM FOR LIKE TEN YEARS, and yet no one considers them “Disney Stars” (and also, why were they in so many movies when they were Not Good)???
