Disney Channel Stars Will Friedle and Sabrina Bryan Are Taking Us on a ‘Magical Rewind’

We’ve reached a new era in Disney Channel nostalgia: Disney Channel celebs have started making their own Disney Channel rewatch podcasts. In Magical Rewind, former Disney Channel stars Will Friedle (Boy Meets World, Kim Possible) and Sabrina Bryan (The Cheetah Girls franchise) dive into Disney’s vast catalog of made-for-TV films, including Disney Channel Original Movies and those produced for ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney. The co-hosts wear matching jammies and smile from theater seats in a promotional photo with popcorn ready to go, signaling that they have a cozy, nostalgic treat for their fans.

Since the show began in mid-January, Bryan and Friedle present new recaps every week, balancing critical takes with nostalgia and appreciation for decades of Disney magic. They have a motto nodding to the DCOM canon: “Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs, and your popcorn, and go back to a time when all the houses were smart, the waves tsunamis, and the high schools musical.” The duo’s weekly walkthroughs cover plots, characters, filming locations, trivia, and, of course, their genuine ratings and reactions. Bryan’s hope is that avid DCOM fans will watch the movies she and Friedle discuss, perhaps joining them in rewatch parties down the line.

The pair is well-suited for this kind of podcast venture, with each boasting a rich history with Disney. Bryan has been a Disney Channel delight since her first outing as Dorinda Thomas in The Cheetah Girls. The 2003 film was only the beginning of her DCOM fame, as the Cheetahs filmed two sequels, recorded numerous Disney music projects, and became a real, touring girl group. Bryan, who’s since become a Dancing with the Stars favorite, is also a professional dance coach and choreographer.
