We say goodbye to The Cheetah Girls trilogy as the trio (now without Raven) jet off to India to star in a Bollywood movie

It's time to take a break from the High School Musical-verse and take a trip to Camp Rock. Introducing Demi Lovato, accompanied by The Jonas Brothers, this teen-drama sees talented kids compete with one another to win the Final Jam and be crowned king/queen of summer camp.

Sorry about the delay there. We've been busy doing things. It's time to venture back to the ABQ to see how the students of East High School are spending the best summer of their lives. It's a time of changing priorities and different friendships, but it's the same old sing-a-longs that are going to get us there. Join Rob, Jake, Nur and Andy as we check in with Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, and the rest of the gang as they jet off to a retreat in the hills.

It's been a little while. Probably because we went to Spain for this episode... Okay, no we didn't, but we might as well have. It's The Cheetah Girls 2: When in Spain, as the world's favourite R&B quartet jet off to Europe for a talent competition and a shot at the big time. Stay safe out there.

Remember Aly & AJ of 'Potential Break-Up Song' fame? Well, once upon a time, before they were in the charts, they were the stars of Disney Channel Original Movie, Cow Belles. Two rich girls get a slice of reality when forced to work at a dairy produce factory, where their dad is the boss.

We're soaring, flying... Truthfully, while we might have enjoyed watching Cadet Kelly and The Cheetah Girls (okay, less so The Cheetah Girls) this is the one we were all waiting for. It's time to visit East High for the first time and take the first step into the High School Musical trilogy. Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, that other basketball guy. A defining moment for our generation and the third instalment of our Disney Channel Original Movies season.

After spending time at George Washington Military Academy with Cadet Kelly in our previous episode, this week's Rebel Chums sees us get to know Galleria, Chanel, Aqua, and Dorinda. They're better known as The Cheetah Girls, a group of teenage R&B sensations looking to make it into the big time. We're also chatting about our favourite girl groups of all time.

We hope you're all doing okay in lockdown. To help both ourselves and yourselves, we've decided to press on and record our episodes remotely, which means we're heading into Disney Channel Original Movie territory. First up, we're skipping through to Cadet Kelly, the first film Nur can remember from her time growing up watching these films. Rob, Andy, and Jake have never seen it before. It's time we flipped the premise of the show, and what better time to do so than when the world feels a little upside down?

And so it comes to this, the last of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Return of the King. The epic conclusion to the epic tale adapted from J. R. R. Tolkien's books, the final battle between good and evil to decide the fate of Middle Earth, the only movie in history to win every Oscar it was nominated for. Due to the government's lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we adhered to social distancing laws and decided to record this episode via Skype. That didn't stop us getting our teeth into it.

Before the government put us on lockdown, we were lucky enough to squeeze in one more night in front of the TV to watch the second instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This time it's The Two Towers, which sees Saruman attempt to seize control of Middle Earth while the world of men and elves attempt to repel him; meanwhile, Sam and Frodo inch closer to Mordor. It's Rob, Jake, Andy and Nur sat around the microphone again as we move ahead in this series and get closer to the end. We hope you're all keeping safe!

Back in 2001, Peter Jackson brought J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth to the big screen and changed blockbuster cinema forever. Rob, Jake, and Andy have been huge fans of the trilogy for a very long time, but Nur's only experience of it was falling asleep midway through The Fellowship of the Ring several years ago. It's just like our Star Wars adventures all over again.

Pixar's latest entry, Onward, is out in cinemas now, so we sat down to talk about it. Directed and written by Dan Scanlon (whose previous work for the animation house includes Monsters University), the film follows two brothers on a cross-country quest as they attempt to resurrect their dad, who passed away years earlier. Is this another piece of Pixar wizardry, or is it missing the magic touch?

This being the final showdown between good and evil means that it's also the final episode of our Harry Potter series, which has seen us travel to Hogwarts on a regular basis since last August and comes to a close in this episode. It's the original four of us - Rob, Andy, Nur, and Jake - seeing you through the last hours of the one the most successful movie franchises of all time. We all know how it goes, but revisiting this movie one more time was never going to hurt. So sit back, relax, and get ready for our next episode.

This is the end. My only friend, the end. Well, not quite. We're taking a trip back in time to December 2010 for the seventh instalment of the Harry Potter saga, the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, the penultimate entry to the film adaptations. Split into two parts in order to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion, the Deathly Hallows sees our heroes venture out into the British countryside to find and destroy the secrets to Lord Voldemort's immortality. Get your tents and hiking boots, because we're gonna be doing some serious cardio. It's just the three of us this week, as Andy, Jake, and Rob discuss a film that, unbelievably, will turn 10 years-old in just a few months. It seems like only yesterday that Rob was venturing to the world's tallest cinema to see it. A lot's changed since then - the film saga of course came to an end just six months later, J.K. Rowling has since outed herself as a TERF, and it's now been thirteen years since the last chapter of the infamous fanfiction My Immortal was publishe

After our brief detour to a galaxy far, far away, we're heading back to the wizarding world for the sixth instalment in the Harry Potter movie saga: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. After Lord Voldemort's return, Harry and Dumbledore reunite with a former Hogwarts professor who holds secrets pertaining to the Dark Lord's past; meanwhile, Harry discovers an old textbook belonging to the mysterious "half-blood prince". We've got two guests for the price of one this time out, as Nur and Vicki return to the panel.

Nearly two years ago, Rebel Chums began as an excuse for Rob, Jake and Andy to take Star Wars newbie Nur through the entire film franchise for the very first time. Since then, the four of them have gone through a sea of changes, both personal and otherwise. Rob moved house twice, Jake & Andy got engaged, and sadly Nur had to temporarily leave her role as host because she moved across the country for her studies. The hope was that she would return by the time the so-called "Skywalker saga" came to a close over Christmas 2019, with The Rise of Skywalker. In this bumper episode, we catch up with the numbered Star Wars films just in time to wave goodbye to them, as they ride off into the twin sunset on the horizon.
