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.

19 SEP 2026 · 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.

5 SEP 2026 · 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, 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. https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle And on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/ to interact with the show between episodes.

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.

22 AUG 2026 · The Shuffle Bois turn to one of the largest and certainly most memorable reactions to the global financial crisis of the late 2000s , Occupy Wall Street. In part seven of their ongoing series, they take a look at the socialists, anarchists, daily show liberals, and obvious federal plants who descended on Zuccotti Park in Fall 2011. After tracing the history of the movement, they then describe the types of people who attended as well as some of the themes and big ideas of this story - globalization, horizontality vs verticality, idealism vs pragmatism, as well as the roles of both the police and the media.https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle And on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/ to interact with the show between episodes.

25 JUL 2026 · Sing, muse, of this summer’s blockbuster movie event! The shuffle bois have opened their bag of winds and been blown off course from their regular scheduled programming of 2000s content to review Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. After giving some background on the world, compositional nature, and characters of the Homeric source material, the Shuffle bois trace the sprawling plot of the film before turning to its themes, including proper guest-host etiquette (xenia), the bronze age apocalypse, guilt and trauma, fate and hubris, and human-divine relations. Give us a follow on the Patreon here for some more Homer content:https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffle https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle And on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/ to interact with the show between episodes.

18 JUL 2026 · The Shuffle Bois return to the well of 2000s Sword and Sandal films with the movie that started it all, Ridley Scott's 200 film Gladiator. After setting the table with some historical context about how the Roman Empire worked and the nature of actual historical gladiators, they turn to the film itself. They discuss the film's very end of history take on Roman history and politics, the nature of spectacle in a highly stylized film, the sexless hedonism of Gladiator, and its anachronistic view of patriotism. They close out with Ben giving a little book report on a wacky late antique primary source on the emperor Commodus and lamenting the film that might have been.https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle And on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/ to interact with the show between episodes.

The Shuffle bois are joined by resident fashion correspondent Colette Shade author of “https://www.harpercollins.com/products/y2k-colette-shade?variant=41231617097762: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on a future that never was.”) to review a masterpiece of 2000s cinema, The Devil Wears Prada. This is a film that simultaneously attempts to be a scathing satire of the fashion industry, a character study of an anti-hero in a deeply flawed industry, and a paint-by-numbers rom com about a woman trying to have it all. After describing its characters, plot, and style, the crew digs down into some of the film's themes, including its schizophrenic relationship to the fashion industry, its view of aestheticism and culture, and how Miranda Priestly functions as a Michael Mann protagonist. They close out by briefly discussing the 2026 fan-service sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, which attempts to criticize capitalism and consultants without using the word capitalism.
