Über den Podcast
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.

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.

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.

Shownotes
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Shuffle bois are joined by resident fashion correspondent Colette Shade author of “Y2K: 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.

In part four of their ongoing series on the Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois turn to a topic near and dear to their hearts, the automotive bailouts of 2008/9. When cheap and easy credit dried up due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the dominos of financialization began to fall, the three struggling American automotive companies were hit particularly hard. In this episode, the shuffle bois go through the history of the automotive industry, laying out both its long term chronic and short term acute issues, before tracing the Obama administration's response. It's a sprawling episode covering labour relations, corporate mismanagement, globalization, the place of the car in American identity, financialization and private equity, and environmentalism

They also discuss Keynesianism, the Cassandras of the time, what might have been, and the Clintonite presidency that we actually got.

After briefly describing the history of this group, the Shuffle Bois do three album reviews of the Killers' 2000 discography, tracing their evolution from something resembling a post-punk revival act to something resembling Bruce Springsteen-inspired heartland rock. They also discuss the reverse British invasion, indie sensibilities, the beautiful mind of Brandon Flowers, and the place of the Sun Belt in the 2000s.

We Watched the Watchmen (2009). The 200s most underdiscussed super hero movie, we are going to Deconstruct the Deconstructors in this weeks episode, looking at how the 1980s alternate history comic by Alan Moore was adapted for a late-2000s audience by Zach Snyder. Watchmen as a movie fits perfectly in the 2000s as a reaction to the suite of movies that had come out in the decade–as it itself is a criticism of myth, exceptionalism, and marketing.

In episode two of their ongoing series on The Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois turn to the folks who profited from the collapse of the housing market, as described and immortalized in Michael Lewis' book "The Big Short" and its 2015 film adaptation. After describing the major characters of this story, they then turn to a plot summary of the film, peppering in some digressions on 2000s culture and the nature of sub prime lending companies. Then, as always, they turn to their themes and big ideas, including the enrichment of the contemptible and the noxious social effects of Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy.

The fundamentals of our economy are… present. Welcome to Remember Shuffle’s ongoing multi-part series on the financial crisis of 2008 and the ensuing Great Recession. The Shuffle Bois begin with some table setting to explain the complex financial instruments and deregulation that led to the crisis - mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, and synthetic collateralized debt obligations - and introducing the rogues gallery of characters for this story. They then go beat-by-beat through the collapsing economy of 2008 and trace the decisions that were made by those running the banks as well as by those in power. They close, as always, with some themes and big ideas - including the separation of risk from incentive and the failures of neoliberal deregulation - before turning to the echoes in the culture, which are profound for this topic.

The Shuffle Bois, and returning guest Isaac, return to the well of comic book super hero fare to discuss the 2000s X-Men films. Being the pre-MCU, paleo-super hero films that they are, they can't help but be somewhat different from and more interesting than what came after. After summarizing the plots of the three main X-Men films from the decade, the Shuffle Bois talk themes - assimilation vs exclusivity, marginalization, and the LGTBQ allegory of these films, before closing out with a description of style and echoes in the culture.

Do you like Remember Shuffle? Their early work was a little too derivative for my tastes, but when Epic Bacon Reddit Guy came out in '23, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole episode has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the riffs a big boost. They’ve been compared to The Rewatchables, but I think Remember Shuffle has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
Anyways, here’s the American Psycho episode on Brett Easton Ellis’ mise-en-scene satire of 80s yuppie culture.

Remember Shuffle turns to one of their favourite kinds of film that we don't seem to get many of anymore: mid-budget, middle brow popcorn films, in the form of Steven Spielberg's 2002 film "Catch Me If You Can." The Shuffle Bois use this film as a springboard to discuss the state of Boomer Culture and Boomer Nostalgia in 2002. After describing the plot of the film, they do a mini-book review of the "source material," the lying, bragging, horny memoir of Frank Abegnale Jr, before turning to the themes and big ideas behind the film including family dynamics, the American dream, and Boomer culture.

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.

With the campaign of Barack Obama in 2007-2008, the U.S. saw a resurgence in interest in Nelson Mandela, with Americans projecting a parallel with our own first black president. You can almost hear the gears turning in Clint Eastwood’s mind watching 2009’s Invictus–hoping to goad Obama towards symbolic reconciliation rather than expropriative redistribution. We look at Obama’s initial posturing and discuss whether or not he was doing the Mandela affect.

Another listener suggestion yields beautiful, ripe fruit for the pod as we follow up our last episode on Cyberwarfare with a movie whose plot is essentially the fictionalization of the warnings in the book “This is how they tell me the world ends”.
Much to ponder on this Intellectual Property reboot whose buddy cop pairing is…a Boomer and a Millenial.

New military industrial complex just dropped! In this spiritual sequel to our drones episode, the Shuffle Bois take you, the listener, into the exciting cloak-and-dagger world of the black market cyber weapons trade. After defining key terms - hackers, vendors, clients, and zero days - they trace the history and developments of this new field of warfare through the 2000s. They then analyze some of the themes and big ideas that underlie this topic - globalization, the lack of regulation in the tech sphere, and the role of the deep state in creating this problem. They close by looking at what it means to live in this new and exciting world of cyberweapons and cyberwarfare.
