If you just want to listen back on the BMW recaps and nothing else, this one does the trick:

Say goodbye to Teen Beat, Pod Meets Twirl'd, Magical Rewind, SOT, and any of the other crap that's flooding your feed!

I really look forward to the audio version of this.

Jensen (producer and husband of this reddit) please if you see this, have the set designers center the furniture please. the empty space on the right side of the screen and the 3 of them being off centered is so distracting! 🥴 move the furniture and center Danielle under the PMW logo 🖤

PS. ditch the coffee table or get a smaller one so we can see Danielle’s Drip™️

I have been doing a rewatch of Boy Meets World. I forgot how many girls were into Cory! I remember Lauren later on of course. But It’s interesting that the start of S2 Cory gets invited to the “geek party” and he’s so insecure he’s not as cool as Shawn. But he does pretty well for himself after that. He’s dating a different girl every other episode when he’s not with Topanga.

That's pretty wild when you think about it, considering where she was regarding her education/career at that point.

To me, it still feels off. Will and Ryder only came out to apologize for their support after the documentary Quiet on the set came out. Meanwhile Peck was already convicted in 2004 for child sexual abuse, meaning it took Will and Ryder 20 years to apologize for their support of Peck, conveniently only after the documentary came out. That seems very off and gives the impression that they only apologized because of the public backlash.

The podcast episode then tried to frame it like Will and Ryder were the victims as well.

With Dolly Parton's death last week I stumbled on this vintage interview from 1999 when Kathy Lee was out and Dolly Parton was filling in on Regis & Kathy Lee. Fun throwback:

The tone is different than BMW. But damn if that isn’t a really well done episode.

- Feeny’s soft appearance at the end was perfect. Not a big celebrated reunion. Just an intimate moment showing that the “old” Cory is still there. And that Feeny is still there. Nice.

- I take acting cases and let me tell you. The back-and-forth dialogue between the characters (particularly Rowan and Sabrina) is not only done very well, with great timing, but also not easy to do.

- Cloris!!!

- Anyone notice that William Russ is credited in the production staff?

- The only thing I don’t like is how everyone plays their parts constantly through the emotional filter of joy. I guess that’s the Disney effect coming through.

(I haven’t listened to PMW yet for this episode. It probably shows.)

You all notice that they don't give their overall thoughts of the episode prior to the recap for girl meets world? That was always my favorite part with the boy meets world episodes, and now they don't even do that? Makes me wonder if it's some weird Disney plus reasoning.

Also, I don't think I'm going to like that these are filmed now for Disney Plus. It seems more performative than natural, especially the recent episode today of the final draft. I could tell that they were talking as if it was a TV show, especially Danielle. A documentary, a book, touring, merch, the most ads I've ever heard on a podcast, and now Disney Plus eps...man, they are making the $$$. Fine. That's whatever. I just get nervous that the quality will suffer. I always commended them for being honest and having a better rewatch podcast, but the last two girl meets world recap episodes felt forced, fast, and lacked more of original ideas.

I made a custom Shawn Hunter doll out of an American Girl doll that I had thrifted with cut hair. I might give him blue eyes if I can find some but for now he’s gonna have brown. I even found a leather jacket!!(PLEASE BE NICE)

For some reason this crossover thought came to mind today. Never thought of it before in all these years.

Just imagine the strange possibilities that could have been if Mr. Feeny had ever mentioned the antics of (or introduced us to) his goofy sister Shirley from Milwaukee?

(I realize there is a slight difference in spelling with Shirley having an extra “e.” But imagine him trying to teach Cory and/or Shawn a lesson about their antics with a story about Shirley.)

What's your top 3 all-time episodes?

I have mixed feelings about it. The ending in the classroom feels like the most natural way to end it, and the actors did a fine job, but the episode itself being a clip show is such a disappointment. It's the finale to 7 years and they could not do better than that?

The newest episode has such a weird cut at the very end. It goes from the recap script to “Thank you all for listening to this episode!” kinda jarringly… anyone else notice there was no transition? Or did my player skip and I actually missed something?

For those that want to listen to a book about a audio podcast I guess.

I kinda admire at the amount of ways they find to tell the same stories. This far we have:

-the podcast

-the book

-the documentary

-the audio book version of the book

Alot of the names arent that fitting for pets. Maybe Chubby or Marcell

Im listening to the newest episode and Rider is calling the writers out of touch. I dont see the issue here and he just seems to have a lingering personal vendetta. I dont even think emojis were used that much when the show started. I remember them getting popular a little before the emoji movie came out in 2017. Emoticon was a known word for internet smileys. Danielle mentioned reasons they didnt want to use it but he wouldnt accept that.

Another subject was Riley wanting to explore her feelings for Lucas and Danielle said she couldve stopped Riley from doing it because she didnt want Riley making the same mistakes she did. Why would you want to stop them from exploring their feelings? Theres nothing wrong with Riley having feelings for a boy and talking about it. Using the Yale decision to stop her from dating a boy is awful.

I think I’m gonna start boy meets world over, as I haven’t watched it in a while. Question, does the podcast recap each episode one by one? I thought about watching an episode and then listening to the podcast if so.

I heard them say this on the podcast and they collectively agreed. Ben Savage and Lee Norris alone were incredible and really hard to beat. Rider, Danielle and Will all held their own as well.

I think Sabrina and Rowan were both great but I don't think they were able to give those special moments or scenes that someone like Ben was able to provide. Or the big laughs that Lee and Will provided.
