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.

    Parks and Rec E137 Knope Springs Eternal | with Chris Wade

    Trick-or-treat yourself to a Chris Wade appearance on Remember Shuffle to discuss the Ron Swan-Song of NBC’s 2000 sit com lineup, Parks and Recreation. A show that is good despite its cringe politics rather than because of them, Parks and Rec features an ensemble cast of exceptional improvisers putting on excellent performances. After describing each character and their improv point of view, the Shuffle Bois move on to discuss some of the themes and big ideas of the show, including Obamacore millennial optimism, austerity, corporate power in America, and the sad state of the average American citizen.

    Minority Report: E136 Precrime and Punishment | DEMO

    The machine has told us that you are inexorably fated to listen to this episode on Minority Report. An exceptional Steven Spielberg joint from the 2000s, it’s a techno-thriller, neo-noir, whodunit that also functions as a meditation on fate, predestination, and free will. It’s also an extremely prescient film in many ways and a really good movie. After describing the Y2K backstory behind the film, the shuffle bois do a beat-by-beat plot summary before turning to the themes and big ideas of the film: fate and predestination, prescience, and Spielberg’s fixation on the nuclear family.

    2000s Comedies: E134 Amuse Douche

    The Shuffle Bois are joined by subject matter expert and author Matt Singer to discuss 2000s Frat Pack comedies. The crew and their guest first attempt to describe the traits of this particular sub-genre of highly successful 2000s comedy film, defined by raunchiness, improvisation, and  frequent collaboration across a recurring group. They then trace the history of these films from Animal House, to Old School, through to the end of the decade with Step Brothers. En route, they discuss the death of comedy and the various trends and forces that led to its untimely demise, they analyze how these films approach male friendship, arrested development, and the role of women, and they close out by discussing these films’ style and (as always) the echoes in the culture. Check out Matt Singer’s website here, where you can pre-order his book Funny Business before its October 6th release date.

    Warhammer 40K: E133 Eldar Millenials | DEMO

    The Shuffle Bois turn to the world of tabletop gaming in the 2000s. After briefly tracing the pre-Y2K history of the Warhmmer 40K world and game, they take a look and the state of the hobby in the 2000s. They do a tapas-style meal of faction snapshots, before talking about some themes and big ideas, including the grimdark world, the expansive lore, pastiche, satire, and the esoteric nature of the game and the high barriers to entry.

    Joe Rogan E132: I do DMT and I Know Things

    Remember Shuffle is joined by Freddy G ( https://www.instagram.com/orangefreddyg/ ) to discuss the 2000s comedy stylings of one Joe Rogan. While his 2000s work all takes place before this insatiably curious polymath’s meteoric rise to Podcast God, we can trace this man’s evolution from hack 90s road comic to the weed-guy, reddit-minded figure we recognize today. The Shuffle Bois and Freddy review each of the three specials that came out during our decade of interest before turning to some of the recurring themes and big ideas, both those found within Rogan’s comedic oeuvre (like is fixation with the metaphysical), as well as what his career represents, like the platforming of cancelled people and the phenomenon of cohortification.  Be sure to check out Freddy G on instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/orangefreddyg/ ), threads ( https://www.threads.com/@orangefreddyg ), YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKa83htvL89DZHoa_Xmk8RA ), and Twitter https://x.com/OrangeFreddyG  ⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

    Anthony Bourdain E131: Thousand Island Stare

    The release of Matt Johnson’s Tony has us mulling on a 2000 book which had a profound effect on the culture: Kitchen Confidential. We explore the tell-all book, the story of being Down and Out in a High Stress Luncheon , Bourdain’s cable TV shows, the documentary RoadRunner and the 2026 film based on the book (starring Stavros Halkias, hell yeah dude).  We talk about the food culture of the year 2000, and how much it changed over the following decade, counter culture and competency in the kitchen.  ⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

    Zelda: E130 Ocarina of Time is Money | DEMO

    The full 90 minute episode is LIVE on the patreon. ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffle The shuffle bois turn to one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time, The Legend of Zelda, and trace its evolution throughout the 2000s decade. From the (overrated?) Ocarina of Time, to the brooding existentialist masterpiece that is Majora's Mask, the swashbuckling pirate cell-shaded Wind Waker, and the dark and gritty reboot Twilight Princess, they leave no stone un-thrown in their history of the franchises. Throughout the episode they discuss the mechanics that make the games great, their iconic scores, and the completely mid lore that accompanies such a cool world.
