Arrested Development: E18 Them? With Chris Wade and Matt Christman

The Shuffle bois are joined by two of their favo[u]rite podcasters, whom you may know from Chapo Trap House, Hell of Presidents, or the recently-released Hell on Earth podcast, Matt Christman and Chris Wade. They discuss one of the candidates for G.O.A.T. 2000s sitcom, Arrested Development. They discuss its portrayal of both the “failson” and the media-career desperate American, walk through the show’s commentary on everything from the Iraq War to Southern California land development fraud, and ask the question, “why can’t streaming services seem to make sitcoms anymore?” They close out by discussing the historical rhyming between certain Arrested Development characters and certain historical figures from the 30-years war.

Special thanks to our guests, Matt Christman and Chris Wade. You can listen to their excellent Hell on Earth podcast here:
