Pod Meets World

We finally got here! It's the Season 1 finale!! Although aired out of order, this episode finds Cory concerned he made Mr. Feeny disappear, yet in the end - we say goodbye to someone in a much darker way. Our three aging hosts tackle the geeky duck, vomit on My Giant and "LID / SICK BOY!," all while the changes of Season 2 loom in the distance. Get ready for a true transition as Cory makes peace with Mr. Feeny and leaves the innocence of humble beginnings (and bad theme songs) in the distance...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While filming this important coming of age episode, cast & crew worried it would be the last BMW they ever made.

Hear all about Jeff’s journey from childhood friend / movie critic to primetime TV creator and, most importantly, the lone writing credit on “And Then There Was Shawn,” arguably the most iconic episode of the show.

And was this episode just one big setup to recreate a shot from The Graduate? All this, and what the hosts think of the hooting and hollering during their swimsuit scene, on this Scuba Duba installment of Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
