Remember Shuffle
Remember the 2000s? A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.

We finally did it. We lib out for 90 minutes to the first two seasons of Aaron Sorkin’s most successful project: The West Wing. A centrist liberal projection of an idealized America in the year 2000.

Iron Man: E85 Arc Reactor of the Covenant
We dive into the shiny, explosive world of 2008’s Iron Man, the film that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Celebrated for Robert Downey Jr.’s charismatic performance and its slick visuals, it offers a surface level critique of the of the military-industrial complex.The ideology and methods that Iron Man embodies though, are identical to American exceptionalism.

This is a free demo--Full episode 90 minute episode can be found at: patreon.com/c/RememberShuffleIt's a music episode! The Shuffle Bois turn to an early 2000s artist that NME Magazine called "The Saviour of Music" and Pitchfork Magazine called "A horseman of the apocalypse," Andrew WK. The Shuffle bois first trace the surprisingly interesting life of Andrew WK before the 2001/2002 release of his first album "I Get Wet." They review this seminal album of the 2000s before discussing some themes and big ideas: irony and artifice for performers, the role of technology in music production in the early 2000s, and Andrew WK as modern-day Dionysus.
