Pod Meets World

We’ve hit our first “Finals Week,” which means someone other than Cory gets the heavy lifting - and this time it’s Will.  When a new tutor offers to help Eric cheat on Mr. Feeny’s test, he wants to be seen as more than a bimbo. Also, the foundation is finally laid for a Turner / Shawn connection - while the Cory / Topanga romance is just a :30 second afterthought. Join the gang as they analyze a v...

She may have only appeared on one episode of Boy Meets World, but she certainly made the most of it! As TK, the hard-nosed and precocious sister of Harley Kiner, Danielle Harris stood out in Season 2 as an absolute scene stealer, so the gang had to talk to her. We learn about how she went from fighting Michael Myers to enrolling at John Adams High School, why she thinks Ben was afraid of her and h...

While Mr. Feeny pulls the plug on Cory and Shawn's pirate radio show in 1995…Will, Danielle and Rider use their present day podcast to guess which cast member is sick. They also wonder why they don’t remember anything about Robin Leach and if this episode is a “good romp,” or a “bad romp.” Also, which music festival would Feeny feel most comfortable at? And it wouldn’t be a Pod Meets World episode...

An idea tossed around since episode 1 finally comes to fruition as the gang sits down with therapist Kiera Muscara, to help look back on their childhood experiences and see them through an adult lens.

The journey to growth conti...

We’re Quinning! When you get the chance to talk about Boy Meets World with Mr. Turner himself, you take total advantage of it.

Plus, Will saw Tupac once. Take a seat and pick your weirdest ti...

Leave it to Boy Meets World to have an episode called “Danger Boy” and not have Cory say it a once. For this recap, the gang is joined by Mr. Turner himself, Tony Quinn, to talk about how wardrobe picked his ties, how Will now thinks he’s trying too hard and the beauty of Turner’s signature throwaway delivery. And there’s so much to say about this “stroftibrite” episode, we’re breaking it up into...

It’s arrived. This moment has been talked about for months and it’s finally here. The gang now knows…they want you to take the rolls. Iconic.

In yet another example of life imitating art, this episode features Cory deciding to hop into politics and run for class President.

Grab your schoo...

One of the most recognizable faces on Boy Meets World might not immediately come to mind when thinking of the show, but on this week’s episode, the gang will remind you that guest Blake Clark, a.k.a. Chet Hunter, is absolutely a Hollywood legend. Beyond appearing in a dozen or so Adam Sandler movies (Waterboy, anyone?), at one point in the ‘90s, Blake appeared on a new ABC sitcom every night of th...

Our hosts sit down to recap “The Beard,” an episode that follows Shawn’s madcap attempt at basically dating two women at once.
