The results may not surprise you. Remember Shuffle returns to the world of reality TV with a deep dive on America’s Next Top Model, featuring former contestant Sarah Hartshorne as expert guest correspondent. After tracing the history of the show and placing it in its particular historical moment, when every celebrity job was getting the reality show treatment, they dig into two retrospective sources on the show - Sarah’s book and a recent Netflix documentary, before turning, as always, to the major themes and big ideas behind the show and its echoes in the culture.Give Sarah a follow on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahbhartshorne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>!

The results may not surprise you. Remember Shuffle returns to the world of reality TV with a deep dive on America’s Next Top Model, featuring former contestant Sarah Hartshorne as expert guest correspondent. After tracing the history of the show and placing it in its particular historical moment, when every celebrity job was getting the reality show treatment, they dig into two retrospective sources on the show - Sarah’s book and a recent Netflix documentary, before turning, as always, to the major themes and big ideas behind the show and its echoes in the culture.Give Sarah a follow on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahbhartshorne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>!

(?)" Remember Shuffle turns to one of the premiere network TV dramas of the 2000s, ABC's "Lost," proof that you can't quite fit the round peg of creator-driven, prestige-style drama into the square hole of a traditional TV network. After introducing the ensemble cast of melodramatically tragic characters, the Shuffle Bois + Sam do season-long plot recaps of a show that became increasingly unhinged as it went on, going from a survival drama to an alternate-universe, time-travelling, metaphysical quest between good and evil. They then analyze the very obvious themes of this show - faith, fate, leadership, and morality - before describing the unique style of this particular cultural artifact. <br />Give Sam a follow at @Thank_u_for_shopping (Follow her here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thank_u_for_shopping" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠instagram.com/thank_u_for_shopping⁠</a> )<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> And on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> to interact with the show between episodes.

It’s your yearly Christmas episode drop, and this year we’re taking a look at two instant classics from the 2000s, Robert Zemeckis' “Polar Express” (2004) and “Christmas Carol (2009). These two films represent Robert Zemeckis’ attempt to transcend the limits of the fleshy human body through the power of computers and technology. And they stink. In this episode, you’ll hear the Shuffle Bois describe and analyze the phenomenon of “The Uncanny Valley” and how these films fall into it. They also discuss Charles’ Dickens’ rad-lib politics, the changing nature of Christmas in the 19th century, Boomer nostalgia, and once again roast Hollywood’s insane accounting and overreliance on the newest technological fad. <a href="https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> And on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> to interact with the show between episodes.

After tracing the history of this period - how the civilian leadership continued to bury its head in the sand, how the strategy began to slowly change towards sending more troops, and how Americans largely tuned out in 2008 - they zoom out and discuss the big ideas and questions around the surge. Was it a success? Did America learn anything from it? Why did we never get a big budget Hollywood surge movie? The carnival of horrors continues in Part 5 of Remember Shuffle’s Iraq War series.<a href="https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> And on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> to interact with the show between episodes.

One of the 2000s most famous graphic novel adaptations features a not-so-implicit reference to our war in the middle east to fight for freedom. When analyzing this very dumb movie, The Shuffle Bois discuss the various binaries underlying the Clash of Civilization narrative (freedom vs slavery, democracy vs autocracy, East vs West, sexual degeneracy vs probity) and its long-lasting impact on the Alt Right and Manosphere ethos and imagery. <a href="https://twitter.com/RememberShuffle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠</a> And on Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/remembershufflepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠</a> to interact with the show between episodes.

Remember Shuffle takes a look at one of the most influential TV shows from the 2000s, responsible (for good and ill) for the current state of desk comedy. The Shuffle Bois break down the four distinct eras of the daily show: the leather jacket, 90s alt-comic era, the righteous anger era, the lecture series era, and everyone’s favourite: the dogshit era. En route, they discuss the historical moments in which the show aired - the late 90s, Gen X end of history; the right wing war fervor cancel culture of the Bush years; the smarmy lib media navel gazing atmosphere of the Obama years; and the Trump Derangement Syndrome era.

We go over the Sopranos' greatest features, including the internal continuity that each episode has with its small details and imagery, like Curb Your Enthusiasm’s interweaving plots, but for drama. The episode is a first pass at explaining why the Sopranos is a 6 tool player at: plot, setting, characters, style, technique and themes–specifically of American decline, generational divide, toxic masculinity and class in The Sopranos.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4733</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8f084e43f43d562cd46a049dd991ce01.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Marie Antoinette with Mike Duncan: E32 Slay Qween</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/marie-antoinette-with-mike-duncan-e32-slay-qween--59655141</link><description><![CDATA[This week we are once again joined by Mike Duncan as we turn to our favourite all-frills movie from the 2000s, Sophia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette.” We review this film that had mixed reviews at the time, but in retrospect is a masterpiece of ennui, decadence, and style.

The Shuffle Bois look at a particular kind of posting culture, the Epic Bacon Reddit Guy, a culture that flourished on Reddit (naturally). They break down the Epic Bacon Reddit Guy’s sense of humour, analyze and trace their love of bacon, and deconstruct their political views and collective political actions, such as they were.
