Pod Meets World

Let's do the Dance of Joy as the gang digs deeper into the TGIF-verse to hang with our distant cousin from Mypos - Balki Bartokomous (a.k.a. the legendary Bronson Pinchot)! 

Bronson shares stories from his iconic roles in “Beverly Hills Cop," “Risky Business” and “True Romance," but also opens up about the challenge of playing silly characters when in reality…not everything is silly.  

A Friday night neighbor on "Perfect Strangers" AND "Step By Step," he details how he's become an absolute powerhouse in audiobooks and how he responds when someone KINDA recognizes him. Grab a seat, because Bronson Pinchot is chatting on a brand new Pod Meets World...

Take a seat on the student union couch, because the “coolest teacher” at school might not be exactly who you think he is…

The gang tackles a very special episode that puts Topanga in a difficult spot - but was it ever actually about her?  Also, who pushed who first?  The gang analyzes the thin line of offense toyed with throughout the script and also share their feelings on a “Love is Blind” contestant “borrowing” a line from BMW.

It won’t take a 5th sense to figure out what our hosts think on an all-new Pod Meets World recap!

The voice of Mr. Feeny is one of the instantly recognizable sounds in all of TV history - but what IS that accent?? The gang enlists the help of listeners in the form of voice memes to try and figure out the recipe for a perfect Bill Daniels impression.

So come along as his favorite students pick the best imitation, but keep in mind - there’s only one true George Feeny.

Well, here it is. 

Long teased, but blocked from their memories, the gang dissects another kiss-heavy episode, this time between the most unlikely of partners: Topanga & Shawn.

What can Danielle and Rider actually remember about this incredibly awkward storyline? How could anyone blame Cory for being paranoid?? And also - what is the College Orientation video all about anyway???

Will also recalls the unhinged, and somewhat repulsive, food fight, while the hosts pay tribute to their most courageous co-star, on an all-new Pod Meets World!

Our hosts know all about the life of a “child star,” but this week Alexandra Nechita is sharing her experience as a child…PRODIGY!

The real life Petite Picasso joined Boy Meets World for “Better Than Your Average Cory,” a Season 6 standout, and though her acting was impressively stellar, she wasn’t quite ready for the allure of craft service soda.

Alexandra tells us what filming a sitcom was like, and how it inspired her to audition for other roles like Princess Leia.

We may not be child prodigies, but we’re still ready for some (brush)strokes of genius, this week on Pod Meets World!

Class is in session! It’s time for the debut of the Pod Meets World Book Club.

The inaugural selection is “Blob: A Love Story” by Maggie Su, a Sci-Fi romantic mind-bender and our hosts have done their homework!!

While sharing their thoughts and opinions on the book’s symbolism, the gang is faced with the eternal question: which Boy Meets World character’s body part would you choose for your “blob?” 

How many Turners do you give Blob?? And how many Feenies? 

Face forward and pay attention! Don’t miss your chance to join the Pod Meets World Book Club today…

We may not be art prodigies like Alexandra Nechita, but this podcast episode is a masterpiece nonetheless. The gang dives into an “acid trip of weirdness” to try and find some cohesion in season 6, and why exactly an artistic excursion was necessary.

The hosts continue to navigate the Jack/Eric/Rachel love triangle, throwing them into an art museum worthy meltdown.

Over the years, we’ve talked to many BMW duos: Blutman & Busgang, Ethan & Blake, Rider & Lisa Loeb. Well, now it's time to complete another team, as the gang sits down with Patti Carr, who along with her former writing partner Lara Olsen, penned some of the most memorable, and weird, episodes in the show's history. 

The very successful writer / producer helps answer some of the most important questions from Season 5 of her first big job: like who was to blame for Cory’s infidelity and why the 1940s time travel episode was almost totally derailed by being too historically accurate. 

Plus, we hear the absolutely shocking backstory behind the celery joke in “Better Than the Average Cory.” Who's to thank for the iconic gag? Your life will be changed forever, right here on Pod Meets World

We’re deep into dorm life, continuing our Season 6 recaps, now finally entering a new dynamic: the interesting friendship between Cory and Angela!

Jumping right in with a wildly unhinged Cory / Topanga kiss, Mr. Feeny is finding his footing in college, while the Shawn / Angela relationship continues to stall (and we don’t mean a co-ed bathroom stall, a room place that Cory finally conquers). 

Plus, one of our hosts has a theory that connects Boy Meets World to the M*A*S*H universe. Bet you can’t guess who it is! It’s Will. Definitely Will. You knew that.

We saw a ton of recognizable, and established, actors stop by Boy Meets World as a guest star through the first 5 seasons of the show - but it’s possible none were as interesting, and inspiring, as this week’s guest.

In addition to playing “Jump Master” in the newly G.O.A.T.’d Season 5 episode, “Raging Cory,” this familiar face has worked with Spike Lee, Bong Joon Ho, Wes Anderson and the Coen Bros., where he stole one of the most intensely dramatic (and funny?) scenes in film history. Oh, and did we mention he was a cast member on In Living Color? 

He’s legendary, internally evolved and a pioneer when it comes to racial equality and standing up for what you believe in. Even when it’s hard to do.

With the start of Season 6, the hosts have already clocked a handful of massive changes. From the introduction of Pennbrook to a goofier, funnier Eric to (kinda) new opening credits - and a spankin’ new cast member.

The gang catches up with Maitland Ward, the season’s first guest, to hear the story of how she became the beloved new roommate, Rachel McGuire. But the role didn’t come without some strange wardrobe fittings and traditional newbie hazing!

Plus, she opens up about her spicy post-Boy Meets World career, and Danielle asks a question she’s been wondering since the podcast started. All this on a new, and memorable, Pod Meets World!

After saying farewell to Minkus for season 2, our hosts were captivated by another class nerd, only to find out later that the actor was a member of the exclusive Boy Meets World 3-timers club.

The gang is hanging out with the Tony nominated thespian and sharing stories, including how Rider was responsible for the most heartbreaking moment of Jonathan's career.

Danielle, Rider & Will have already tracked down some BMW-lifers for the podcast, getting the inside scoop from the select few crew members who worked on the show for all 7 seasons. But when it comes to the true tea, no one saw more than the Stage Manager. And Steve Hoefer was that - and more - for the show’s entire run.

In addition to directing one of the most surreal episodes of the series, he was the brave soul in charge of making sure everyone got to set on time (and he reveals which 2 cast members had the hardest time achieving that).

He’d later go on to direct almost every Nickelodeon show ever made, but for this podcast we get a completely different perspective on Danielle’s first appearance, why a mythical creature from Magic: The Gathering was a fixture on set and what Universal Studios Tram operators can NEVER say.

It may be the beginning of the meaningful storylines and character development we’ve been waiting for, but it’s also the start of “crazy pants” when it comes to Eric. Will this recipe for sitcom be the moment that fixes Season 3 for our hosts?

Another legendary line read from the great Blake Sennet is praised, and Mr. Williams gets the storyline he deserves.

No need to test this dream, it’s another great recap episode of Pod Meets World!

Melissa Joan Hart explains it all on a brand new episode! How did her mom pay $1 for the rights to Sabrina? Which PMW host did she briefly date as a teenager? What’s going on in that infamous movie premiere photo with Britney Spears? And what will she be working on with Will in the not-so-distant future? Plus, time travel to the back of a limo with Melissa, Danielle and *NSYNC during the early ‘00s. It’s time to sit down with a real witch on the newest Pod Meets World…

Imagine a game show where the casts of Boy Meets World, Saved by the Bell and Full House, competed against each other by jumping and strategizing around a favorite childhood game. Can we make that dream a reality? Rider is not down.

But onto bigger and better things - it’s time to tackle the episode, “This Little Piggy,” which gives us more Topanga, but not in the way we wanted. Will the downward spiral of Season 3 continue, or can the gang find a way to lift their spirits?

Plus, the hosts share memories of working with one of the greatest actors of their generation... but sadly, he left his dressing room a sty.

You know the “who” and the “why” of Boy Meets World, but now it’s time to hear about the “wear!” 

Legendary costume designer Sara Markowitz joins Danielle, Will and Rider to share her stories from seasons 2 & 3, while spilling some of the best dressed secrets (like the true meaning of Turner’s ties and what BMW has in common with Twin Peaks!!)

Mysteries are uncovered as Sara takes us into the Boy Meets World closet ‘fit by ‘fit, but will we find out the REAL origin of “the leather jacket?”

This is an episode where too much shirts is a good thing!

The gangs’ concerns about Season 3 sure are stacking up - but are they just facing another bout of Drop Shock? 

With Topanga back on the call sheet, there’s hope, but the absence of tripods, cameras and cables are stealing most of Rider’s attention.

Plus, this episode inspires Will to admit to a lifelong lie he told about Bon Jovi and some tour travel stories are in full effect…

She may have been in a super long timeout, but now she’s free and ready to chat! You know her as “the second Morgan Matthews,” but what you don’t know are the details of how it all went down, the secrets that were kept (including from Lindsay!) and why Will might not be allowed into a LEGOLAND.

We move on from the Weasel and hear all about the birth of a brand new Morgan. 

Same World. New stories. It’s time for a new, and highly anticipated, Pod Meets World…

For a script that has more storylines than John Adams High School has floors, the gang is back and ready to recap. With Shawn getting advice (and tips on flirting?) from a new guidance counselor, it’s also time to say goodbye to both of our top bullies. Our hosts also notice the episode’s “bum” character is a true legend and papayas are not a casual snack, man! 
Rider details what it was like to emancipate from his parents as a teen and Danielle reveals she’s still friends with her first troll. The podcasts keep coming, but the teacher keep getting younger - on Pod Meets World!

Season 3 has already brought us a handful of surprises, but nothing has made our crew happier than seeing the debut of Mr. Eli Williams, played by the effortlessly cool Alex Désert. And now they reunite to talk about his time at John Adams High, shooting Swingers at night after taping Boy Meets World, being the coolest guy in the room and working with *clears singing voice* Tony Tyler Quinn. It’s time to finally catch up with the ultimate Hepcat, and the new Media Arts teacher, on Pod Meets World.

No matter what universe you’re in, this new recap episode is filled with detail after detail! From the important debut of the infamous Cory jean jacket to the not so important architectural intricacies of Topanga’s house, Danielle, Rider & Will completely breakdown “What I Meant to Say.” It’s the true beginning of a confusing relationship - and our hosts are here to try and help (hard emphasis on TRY).

On a special and emotional episode of Pod Meets World, the gang catches up with a very important person in their lives: BMW producer and frequent director, Jeff McCracken. With over 50 episodes under his belt, he became not only a fixture on set, but in the stars’ lives, impacting their futures and careers ever since. He talks about being there when Boy Meets World was created, why he went from acting to producing and how he’s since made painting his primary creative outlet. With a name and legacy that will never leave the hearts of Danielle, Will & Rider - this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Season 3 is taking off, and there is already A LOT of making out. Shawn and Mr. Turner might have caught each other in a lie, but it’s the Eric / Feeny dynamic that’s honestly incredible. And somewhere in all the lip locking, an iconic line debuts, Rider proves to be a great “stormer outter” and we learn the meaning of Soy Milk. Listen in for all the “deets, man!” on a brand new Pod Meets World.

When we recently recapped Summertime Switch, a movie Rider Strong co-started in during Boy Meets World’s Season 1 hiatus, tons of listeners had just one request: get Jason Weaver on the podcast. And so, we consider ourselves lucky to make your dreams come true.

It’s a camp reunion as Jason remembers the ABC movie of the week and how Jason’s dance moves weren’t the hottest thing on set. Jason also talks Smart Guy, the advice Michael Jackson gave him to play the young King of Pop, how Elton John turned him into the Lion King and…Chingy. 

With a contagious smile and positive attitude, it’s no surprise Jason has never stopped working and that he’s now the perfect guest for Pod Meets World.

The time for Season 3 has arrived! Will the transition be smooth or are we in for another Shock Drop? The Summer is officially over and it appears Cory and Topanga are finally set to become official? Well, unless Shawn gets to her first. 
So will this new found love triangle (and a new cool teacher) be enough for a strong start or will the hosts be totally confused like Shawn STILL trying to pick a college?
And - the hosts talk about their time with guest star, and icon, Brittany Murphy. Let’s get ready for another year at the Tower of John Adams High School on Pod Meets World…

Just days away from the start of Season 3 recaps, there’s just one last piece of unfinished business from the gang’s Freshman year at John Adams High School that needs attending to. It was during the rewatch that actress Darlene Vogel, and her nuanced, yet vital, role as Katherine “Kat” Tompkins, shocked the gang beyond expectations, forcing them to hunt her down and bring her on Pod Meets World.

Listen in as Darlene recalls her time on the show, digs deep into her Back to the Future II stardom and talks honestly about her time all over television. And…we reunite two former lovers that give the final word on whether or not 4 months is too early to talk marriage. Join us in the teacher’s lounge for this fun, and candid, interview!

In the side mission we never saw coming, our friend, and former Boy Meets World guest star, Natanya Ross returns to dig deeper into the film from her IMDb that caught the gang’s attention during her last appearance: Munchie Strikes Back. Listen in as they detail the surreal 1994 kids movie and find out about a behind the scenes love triangle you did not seeing coming (no, it did not involve the puppet). Put on your Concord Jr. High shirts and light those eyes up, it’s time to go back to the movies!

We all know about that fateful day on the Boy Meets World set that found Danielle Fishel as the replacement, and new, Topanga Lawrence. But ever since finding out that she wasn’t the first girl hired for the role, we’ve been begging to hear the OTHER perspective. And after a recent recap episode reminded the gang of the original actress’s name - well, here we are. 

Find out what it was like to be fired from a role you were destined to play, how she dealt with never being able to escape “the Barbie girl” and how she’s since become the most interesting human in the world. Telling her story for the first time ever - it’s actress, contortionist and the very FIRST Topanga: Bonnie Morgan.

In 1994, a young actor named Rider Strong made the professional decision to star in the ABC teen comedy, Summertime Switch. And now, 29 years later, it’s time to question that decision.
Before we dive into Season 3, it’s time to go the movies! Hear what Danielle and Will think of the film after their first watch, and how much Rider remembers from his days at the Detention Camp. There's a ton of fun to be had, and a lot of unanswered questions (WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED AT THE DANCE?!?), so check out Summertime Switch on YouTube and get ready for some prime Rider Strong Sports Ball!

Is it a Friday? Or a Tuesday at least? Either way, thank God that Andrea Barber, a.k.a. Kimmy Gibbler, is joining the gang to reminisce about the glorious ‘90s. Andrea reveals what it’s like to not have any memories from before acting, the biggest difference between her and Kimmy and who in her family just doesn’t appreciate her work. Hola Tanneritos, it’s a new Pod Meets World!

We’ve come to the end of Season 2 - and you know what that means! It’s the return of Ceej & TC, the hosts of our favorite fan rewatch podcast, Bruh Meets World, to ask the questions our hosts may have missed. It’s a recap with further analysis on cast dynamics, the difficulty of workplace friendships and how the hosts feel now about being teenage heartthrobs of desire. Let’s take one last look back on our first year at John Adams High School…
