Our hosts know all about the life of a “child star,” but this week Alexandra Nechita is sharing her experience as a child…PRODIGY!The real life Petite Picasso joined Boy Meets World for “Better Than Your Average Cory,” a Season 6 standout, and though her acting was impressively stellar, she wasn’t quite ready for the allure of craft service soda.   Alexandra tells us what filming a sitcom was like, and how it inspired her to audition for other roles like Princess Leia.   We may not be child prodigies, but we’re still ready for some (brush)strokes of genius, this week on Pod Meets World!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Class is in session! It’s time for the debut of the Pod Meets World Book Club. The inaugural selection is “Blob: A Love Story” by Maggie Su, a Sci-Fi romantic mind-bender and our hosts have done their homework!! While sharing their thoughts and opinions on the book’s symbolism, the gang is faced with the eternal question: which Boy Meets World character’s body part would you choose for your “blob?” How many Turners do you give Blob?? And how many Feenies?  Face forward and pay attention! Don’t miss your chance to join the Pod Meets World Book Club today…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We may not be art prodigies like Alexandra Nechita, but this podcast episode is a masterpiece nonetheless. The gang dives into an “acid trip of weirdness” to try and find some cohesion in season 6, and why exactly an artistic excursion was necessary.   The hosts continue to navigate the Jack/Eric/Rachel love triangle, throwing them into an art museum worthy meltdown.   Plus, Danielle updates the listeners on her health journey, and Alan Matthews helps us learn the power of being “average,” on all-new Pod Meets World!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grab some tissues because Will and Sabrina are watching “Tru Confessions” starring Shia LaBeouf, Clara Bryant and Mare Winningham.  This film premiered in 2002 as a Disney Channel Original Movie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the years, we’ve talked to many BMW duos: Blutman & Busgang, Ethan & Blake, Rider & Lisa Loeb. Well, now it's time to complete another team, as the gang sits down with Patti Carr, who along with her former writing partner Lara Olsen, penned some of the most memorable, and weird, episodes in the show's history. The very successful writer / producer helps answer some of the most important questions from Season 5 of her first big job: like who was to blame for Cory’s infidelity and why the 1940s time travel episode was almost totally derailed by being too historically accurate. Plus, we hear the absolutely shocking backstory behind the celery joke in “Better Than the Average Cory.” Who's to thank for the iconic gag?

We’re deep into dorm life, continuing our Season 6 recaps, now finally entering a new dynamic: the interesting friendship between Cory and Angela! Jumping right in with a wildly unhinged Cory / Topanga kiss, Mr. Feeny is finding his footing in college, while the Shawn / Angela relationship continues to stall (and we don’t mean a co-ed bathroom stall, a room place that Cory finally conquers).  Plus, one of our hosts has a theory that connects Boy Meets World to the M*A*S*H universe. Bet you can’t guess who it is! It’s Will. Definitely Will. You knew that. Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Push it to the limit! Will and Sabrina are watching “Jump In” starring Corbin Bleu and Keke Palmer! This film premiere in 2007 as a Disney Channel Original Movie.  Follow @MagicalRewindPod on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We often talk about the powerhouse duo of Blutman and Busgang, the most prolific writers in the history of Boy Meets World. Well, now it’s time to hang with the other B in B&B…Howard Busgang! Howard takes us behind the scenes of some of our favorite BMW episodes, and shares what he believes is the single best line of the series. Hear about the fierce competitive nature of the BMW baseball team (and who won when they faced Home Improvement), why Howard considered Will the “Tom Hanks” of the show and how a sitcom writer transitioned into the world of deli meats and sandwiches - all on a new Pod Meets World!  Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re settling into college life, and nothing says adjustment like the Pennbrook Student Union’s very first appearance!   As the freshmen rush to sign up for classes, Cory bites off more than he can chew, and the B-story gives our hosts a case of Deja vu, though this time ending in the laundry room.   They explore what a retired Feeny does in his free time, and we hear the harrowing tale of the 18 hours Rider spent searching for “Pickles,” only on a “swomp” of a new Pod Meets World!    Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
