Once again we are getting Italian 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.

Do you believe in spells? In our 3rd “Type of Guy” episode, we look into one of the 2000s most annoying villains: The Pickup Artist. We give a synopsis of the book ‘The Game’, try in vain to defend their techniques, and explain why this particular villain emerged at this point in history.

We are joined by dating coach and podcaster Sabrina Zohar of the ‘Do The Work Podcast’, which you can find on instagram @do.the.work.podcast
