Pod Meets World

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to look back on the 2000s with Jason Biggs, we can tell you - it feels just like warm apple pie. The gang is hanging out with a fellow former child actor and hearing every embarrassing story, including how his first (and second, third and fourth) kiss was not only on-screen…it was in the span of 10 minutes!Jason tells us about his first on camera role in Drexell’s Class and reveals why he’s always thought Rider was a terrible driver.   And we HAVE to look back on his iconic performance as “Jim” in American Pie, which taught the gang exactly how many pie thrusts it takes to go from “R” to “NC-17,” right here on a new Pod Meets World!

Will and Rider are still castaways on Survivor 50 island, but has Rider been able to successfully convert Will into a die-hard fan of the show?   After recovering from the disappointing definition of a “tribe swap,” our hosts marvel at the overwhelming amount of Zac Brown this episode. But, the random cameo does remind Rider of his own spear fishing expedition that somehow ended in a shark attack. And Will reveals a true podcast exclusive: he bought Jonathan’s pants!   Plus, we hear Will and Rider share their thoughts on the big Bachelorette news, like the reality TV experts they are - on an all-new Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WARNING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We may have hit the lowest point in Boy Meets World history. But you know what that means - it’s gonna be a hilarious recap.   Eric and Jack become Chantal and Lala, but the gang spends most of the podcast trying to figure out how this logic could work. Will reveals he tried to save the plot back on tape night, but apparently Eric will do ANYTHING to avoid ONE bully (and the police will do nothing to stop him).    Will tries to prepare everyone for more chaotic writing as the series speeds toward the finale, but just like 30 years ago, everyone is just doing the best they can with what they’re given.   So get ready to erase all the goodwill from “Chick Like Me,” right here on Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From “The Baby-Sitters Club to “Tom & Huck” to “Josie and the Pussycats,” Rachael Leigh Cook had a real chokehold on the late 90s, and Danielle’s ready to hear all about it on the newest Teen Beat!   Rachael takes us behind the scenes of some of her most iconic roles, and reveals a shocker of a story from when she was dating Rider.   She may have been immune to developing a crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas, but she could never have stopped the frenzy that was “She’s All That.”   Plus, a look back at the PSA that changed her life forever. Because this is your brain…and THIS is your brain on Teen Beat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And just how cool is Jeff Probst??   Plus, Sophi reveals the true enemy of every Survivor castaway - and no, it’s not another player. It’s rough, irritating, and somehow gets everywhere.   It's time to call in a "real" expert for a very special Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The  writer / producer, who was around for every BMW episode ever filmed, is back to hang out and shed some light on how, and why, this last batch of episodes were made.    He reveals his favorite unsung member of the writer’s room and how a chicken suit may have forced him out the door.   The gang finds out the truth behind the final season writing process, which may have involved more tennis rackets than script pages.    Plus, we revisit the infamous “couch scene” to find out exactly what was supposed to happen, and how does a case of the hiccups force you to  miss a holiday party?    Celebrate all this is Menell - on a new Pod Meets World!
