Pod Meets World

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.

Grab your headphones because Will and Sabrina are watching “Spin” starring Avantika, Michael Bishop and Anna Cathcart.  This film premiere in 2021 as a Disney Channel Original Movie.  Follow @MagicalRewindPod on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We saw a ton of recognizable, and established, actors stop by Boy Meets World as a guest star through the first 5 seasons of the show - but it’s possible none were as interesting, and inspiring, as this week’s guest. In addition to playing “Jump Master” in the newly G.O.A.T.’d Season 5 episode, “Raging Cory,” this familiar face has worked with Spike Lee, Bong Joon Ho, Wes Anderson and the Coen Bros., where he stole one of the most intensely dramatic (and funny?) scenes in film history. Oh, and did we mention he was a cast member on In Living Color?  He’s legendary, internally evolved and a pioneer when it comes to racial equality and standing up for what you believe in. Even when it’s hard to do.  This week on Pod Meets World - it’s Stephen Park!   Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTokSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Topanga may have stuttered at the altar, but the gang has PLENTY to say as our recap of Season 6 charges on. Coming off a tense cliffhanger, we break down some major mommy issues, while Cory and Topanga hit a rough patch after their failed nuptials. Plus, it's time to analyze the the sacred union of marriage with a very strange conversation between Topanga and Amy. Will takes us through his leisurely morning routine, and we find out why nobody should own a bird...on an all-new Pod Meets World!

He’s been dadnapped! Will and Sabrina are watching “Dadnapped” starring Emily Osment, David Henrie and Jason Earles.  This film premiered in 2009 as a Disney Channel Original Movie.  Follow @MagicalRewindPod on Instagram and TikTok!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warning: This episode contains adult language and subject matter. Listener discretion is advised.     With the start of Season 6, the hosts have already clocked a handful of massive changes. From the introduction of Pennbrook to a goofier, funnier Eric to (kinda) new opening credits - and a spankin’ new cast member.   The gang catches up with Maitland Ward, the season’s first guest, to hear the story of how she became the beloved new roommate, Rachel McGuire. But the role didn’t come without some strange wardrobe fittings and traditional newbie hazing!   Plus, she opens up about her spicy post-Boy Meets World career, and Danielle asks a question she’s been wondering since the podcast started. All this on a new, and memorable, Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
