🎵 The surprisingly catchy Jonas Brothers song

What happens when childhood memories disappear?

In this episode of the Friends of Disney Podcast, we're continuing our summer Jonas series with Episode 2: Groovy Movies.

When the Jonas Brothers accidentally destroy their mom's treasured home videos before her birthday, they scramble to recreate years of family memories before it's too late.

Along the way, we discuss why this episode feels surprisingly emotional, the importance of home videos, childhood memories before social media, and how parenting has changed in the age of smartphones.

We also talk about Stella's embarrassing childhood videos, Kevin's underrated comedy, Frankie Jonas' appearance in the series, and whether these home videos may have been inspired by real Jonas Brothers memories.

Plus, we share some of our own favorite family stories and discuss what kinds of memories are worth preserving as parents.
