Remember Shuffle Remember Shuffle

Remember Shuffle finally turns to the presidential election that started it all (and by “it,” we mean the end of the world), the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. With the help of returning guest @Gluten_Daddy, the Shuffle Bois first attempt to reframe this election in order to look at it without the hindsight that comes with knowing about its dramatic finish. What does an election look like in the age of the Neoliberal consensus? How did third parties affect the race? What was Donald Trump up to at the time? 

They then turn to the controversial finish to this election: the recounts, the hanging chads, and the judicial coups. They ask questions like: what good is the democratic party? Could the Jan 6ers have been on to something? How is the turn of the millennium personified in this election?

This episode also features a small gloating section for making it to 50 episodes. All jokes aside, thank you to all our listeners who’ve been with us and helped us get here.

Once again we are getting Ziti pilled in this return to our series on The Sopranos.

David Chase has said he wanted to make a show about trying to find happiness in an American context and Season 2 has a clear through-line of themes of American Existentialism. Tony’s adventures with ennui, religion, and consumerism as a gangster at the End of History.

No worries if you haven't seen in a while, Season 2’s plot arcs are summarized: Sibling issues with Janice and Richie, Big Pussy is a big rat, and a lot of money making schemes.

Chris Wade, of the excellent Hell on Earth and goated pod Chapo Trap House podcasts brings his expertise in the field of early 200s adult animation to Remember Shuffle. On this episode, the Shuffle Bois and Chris discuss the history of niche cable networks, the comic geniuses Mike Lazzo and Adam Reed, and the highly scientific field of generationology (Gen X content for the millennial baby boom echo). 

They then turn to reviewing four iconic Adult Swim shows from the time - Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, and the Venture Bros.

Holy Colab it’s a Craporation. Those Good Old Fashioned Values join us to help sum up the hundreds of hours of Seth MacFarlane content that exists.  We take a wide angle, 40,000 foot view of Family Guy - its structure and style of comedy, cancellation and revival in the 2000s, and how it changed over time - before turning to three themes that we feel define Family Guy: postmodernism, media technology, and transgressiveness.
