We've reached the end of season two, which means it's time to break down some music! Elise is joined again by her friend and music expert Michael Stahl to start dissecting the album "Hannah Montana 2," and in this first installment they do some analysis of the music and lyrics of "We Got The Party," "Nobody's Perfect," "Make Some Noise," "Rockstar," and "Old Blue Jeans." Don't forget to join them again next week to hear their interpretations of the remaining five songs!

Elise and Courtney Seyl are together again to break down season 2 episode 22 of Hannah Montana (or should we say 'Hanny Montanny'?), "(We're So Sorry) Uncle Earl." As the title suggests, this episode finally features Miley's much-mentioned Uncle Earl, and Elise and Courtney are both fans, despite having some questions about his styling. Gilbert Godfried is also in this one? And Jackson does a very detailed Ozzy Osbourne impression? It's a lot to take in. Elise also rehashes all of her current beefs with the HMU, and she and Courtney discuss Sanjaya for longer than necessary.

Elise is joined by Alex Meleras to discuss a surprisingly fun episode of Hannah Montana, season 2 episode 21, "Bye Bye Ball," featuring guest star Joey Fatone as a man with a lot of business ventures who cares deeply about selling veal. It also features some moments that make Elise even warier of Robby Ray, some great physical comedy from Jason Earles, an excellent new take on "Life's What You Make It," and the return of the bizarre kitchen desk.

Elise is joined by her old friend and new guest Anya Scott to break down all the drama of season 2 episode 20 of Hannah Montana, "I Will Always Loathe You." Mamaw and Aunt Dolly are both back in town, which renews Elise's interest in the Stewart family tree, but these old women just won't stop fighting with each other, despite the fact that the person they're fighting over died a VERY long time ago. Meanwhile, Elise and Anya rant about Robby Ray for a long time, take a few minutes to discuss the tiny b-plot, and argue over the fashionability of one of Hannah's dresses.

Elise and her friend Courtney Seyl join forces to tackle season 2 episode 19 of Hannah Montana, "Lilly's Mom Has Got It Going On," and you guessed it... Lilly's mom finally makes an appearance, as played by Heather Locklear! After a lot of hype, Elise and Courtney discover that there isn't much to this episode, but they do manage to talk quite a bit about fast-acting prune butter, a TERRIBLE hair day for Robby Ray, Mr. Carelli's life on a teacher's salary, and yet another inconsequential Jackson and Rico bet, among other things.

Elise reunites with her friend Alana Fineman to discuss the returns of both Mikayla and Jake Ryan in season 2 episode 18 of Hannah Montana, "That's What Friends Are For?" It's actually a solid installment of the show, but you wouldn't know that based on how desperately Elise wants to rework and rewrite it. It includes an absolutely deranged film set, an alien costume that does NOT alter any facial features, scams within scams, and the return of Wendy, who is doing a mean Tyra Banks impression. They also discuss the b-plot, but let me assure you, it is only out of obligation.

Elise is joined by her friend Naomi Fredgant to discuss season 2 episode 18 of Hannah Montana, "Don't Stop Till You Get The Phone," which features guest star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as himself! But probably a younger, less bulky, less famous version of himself than what you've seen lately. He's very game and very fun, but as Naomi puts it, "these 14-year olds don't know how to properly take advantage of The Rock." They also discuss their cell phone history, a logistically disgusting bath, and the lengths they would be willing to go to attend Amanda Bynes's Beach BBQ Benefit for Baby Belugas.

Elise is joined by her friend and Jonas Brothers superfan Kayla Littleton to discuss season 2 episode 16 of Hannah Montana, "Me And Mr. Jonas And Mr. Jonas And Mr. Jonas," which aired during a very significant night of programming for Disney Channel! It might be the single most 2007 episode of the show so far, featuring tons of misguided slang, marshmallow guns (remember those?), and the real-life relationship between Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas. It also includes a reference to the film "Milo & Otis"... please tell us if you had heard of this movie at the time the episode aired. We really want to know.

Elise is joined by Alex Meleras to discuss the many continuity errors of season 2, episode 15 of Hannah Montana, "Song Sung Bad." A karaoke night goes awry, a plot point is stolen from an episode of "Friends," an unlikely couple emerges, we learn the real reason the Stewarts moved to California, and all pretenses of keeping the Hannah secret out of the public eye are essentially gone! We also discuss how Sarah was ahead of her time, the different tiers of Hannah Montana episode quality, and gluten free marshmallows.
