Before we say a final goodbye to John Adams High and graduate to Pennbrook, the gang is taking one last look at the controversial season 5 with Ceej and Tony from their favorite fancast, “Bruh Meets World!”
 
The season had a rough start, but still had some bangers! Find out which episodes worked, and which ones completely missed the mark. 

And they return to “And Then There Was Shawn” (because it deserves it), and dive deep into the challenges of watching BMW in a modern context versus its original run on TGIF.
 
It's time to continue the tradition with Bruh Meets World - on a season finale of Pod Meets World!

Before we approach Season 5, we’re taking a Summer vacation without parents…or counselors…or rules!!! Member of the Boy Meets World 3-timers Club, Hillary Tuck, returns to help the gang recap the oft-mentioned 1994 classic “Camp Nowhere!”

Hillary takes us behind the scenes and into the cabins at Camp Nowhere for the gang’s first viewing, and reveals that Christopher Lloyd didn’t really want to hang out with dozens of wild child actors.

We hear some unsurprising stories about who Andrew Keegan kissed on set, though a shorter list might be who Andrew *didn’t* kiss.

And Hillary offers some honest critiques on Camp Nowhere, now through the lens of an adult acting coach.

This summer…we look back at a movie that starred most of Young Hollywood at the time, AND the Bee Girl from the Blind Melon video, on an all-new Pod Meets World!

Go ahead and separate the marshmallows out of your cereal because this episode is sweet! The gang is joined once again by Trina McGee to breakdown an episode written by a young Bill Lawrence, years before his success as the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso.

The father/son softball game becomes more of a father/son battle and Topanga takes on Cory in the great Pledge debate. This one is loaded with some hella cool BTS details you need to hear, including why rewatching it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths (Hint: It’s not because of Minkus’ tainted hamburger).

To put a pretty little bow on Season 1, Danielle, Rider & Will sit down with Ceej and TC, the hosts of the OTHER favorite BMW podcast, Bruh Meets World, to get a fans’ point of view on the podcast so far. What did they like? What didn’t they like? And what questions still linger beyond the finale?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s time to face one of the most divisive moments in BMW history: a metaphorical wacky romp where Cory becomes…a werewolf. Somewhere between a Halloween episode and a tale about puberty, this episode features Phyllis Diller, one actor’s true commitment to absurdity and the revival of Topanga. Hear all about the spooky full moon kiss, a Lily gag that now feels like a writer’s room inside joke and if the gang can mute their analytical minds to have a little old fashioned sitcom fun.

Mr. Turner is on the cusp of petitioning for legal guardianship of Shawn, which seems like a good idea (and maybe a bit overdue?). While Eric is tutoring a fellow student at John Adams High, which seems like a terrible idea.

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.

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.

A romantic and steamy episode makes for quite a hot podcast as the gang recaps episode 9 of Season 2, “Fear Strikes Out.” 

We find out Rider likes Knott’s Berry Farm much more than his wardrobe vest, and Danielle explains what “rizz” is to her Gen X co-hosts.  

And although they wonder why Cory is so scared to kiss someone he’s already kissed, they do figure out why this new coffee shop looks so familiar.

Break out the cherry chapstick because we’re taking the machine to your high school make out sessions!

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.

Shawn may have finally found the spotlight, but Will reveals why it’s so hard to watch himself on screen and Danielle explains her issues with acting in a jacket. Which only begs the question…”Holk-um?”

There’s plenty of BTS talk from Cory pretending to be smart and the actors not being able to call in sick even when they really were. And the gang notices a joke that went over their heads all these years until they finally noticed it in the rewatch! You’ll need to listen to find out what it was and if you missed it too…

Plus, Danielle reveals the wrath of her mother when she got caught smoking on the studio lot at 15.  You’ll have a lot of free time since you’re grounded and not going to the school dance - so listen to this week’s exploration NOW!

We’re jumping off the top rope and back into the ring, when wrestling legend Bruce Prichard joins the gang to reminisce about one of the most memorable moments in Boy Meets World history.

Bruce not only appeared in "Sixteen Candles and 400-pound Men" as his alter-ego, Brother Love, he was the poor soul tasked with producing the in-ring scenes on the wrestling side. What does he remember as a rare outside producer? How did he pull it off? And just how mad was Jake "The Snake" Roberts that he had to perform for a sitcom? 
Bruce also explains how the world of pro wrestling became his career, shares some of his incredible creative touches in the WWE and lets us know who he thinks is the next household name from the squared circle.

We’re going for the championship belt with a legendary name in wrestling...on a new Pod Meets World!

They knew the episode was coming, but that doesn’t make it any less awkward! It’s finally time to make our way into Alan and Amy’s bedroom for a little make out sesh, as Will gets hot & heavy with some never before heard details. And the Cory / Topanga storyline we all know and love sure seems far in distance as Cory has eyes for another student and is beginning to feel the effects of puberty.

Will the gang ease into the Season 2 changes, or will they continue to feel their way through the new surroundings in complete shock?

Get your cherry Chapstick ready, cause we’re going in!

Christmas comes early when the gang relives Topanga’s complicated (and annoying) holiday traditions, which leads to a discussion on guest etiquette in the BMW-verse.

We’re heading back into the Boy Meets World writer’s room to learn about crafting a sitcom, directly from Emmy award winner, Barbie Adler. 
 
Barbie reveals how a clerical error, and fetching comic books, led to her first writer’s room and penning Season 5 classics like “Raging Cory” and “Eric Hollywood.” 

And she shares stories from other legendary shows on her resume, like Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother and Nobody Wants This.

It all started with Shawn, Eric & Topanga - but only one cast member caused the most rewrites! Find out who when we go behind the scenes on a new Pod Meets World…

When an unfamiliar name popped up during Season 1’s rewatch as the writer of two iconic episodes, the gang knew they what they had to do. After some internet sleuthing and trepidation to participate, writer Janette Kotichas joins the show to fill in the blanks on why, despite two incredible scripts to her name, she did not return for Season 2 (and soon after, left the business). A writing staff of cliques, International telegrams and scripts being thrown across the room… It’s a behind-the-scenes of Boy Meets World like you’ve never heard before.

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.

All that and the age old question: Would Will have liked Rider if he met him outside the world of Boy Meets World?? It’s a new Pod Meets World: a real masterpiece.
