Call Me Limbo

Call Me Limbo

Call Me Limbo is your weekly dose of comedic therapy where pop culture and politics get tossed in a blender with personal stories, improv games, and zero chill. Hosted by Dai and David—two queer best friends with more opinions than filter—the show tackles everything from reality TV and music videos to capitalist hellscapes and Bad Bunny’s underwear. It’s entertainment with a little revolution on the side. Sometimes you’ll laugh until you cry. Sometimes you’ll cry until you’re organizing a union. Either way, we’re here for the drama, the joy, and the work of building a better world—with jokes. Always with jokes. We believe the personal is political, but also… pop culture is too damn fun to ignore. So whether you’re here for the Disney Channel wand impressions or a fiery takedown of billionaires—welcome. You’ve found your people.

This week, Dai and David raid the Disney vault -- and no, not for the classics.  We're starting with the golden age of Disney Channel Original Movies where the outfits were chaotic, the acting was camp, and the life lessons were just capitalist bootstraps dipped in glitter.  From Smart House to Cheetah Girls, we ask: were we watching teen rebellion...or corporate conditioning with a pop hook and a dance break?

Then we level up ...
