About this episode
The hosts discuss Danielle's project Gamebox 1.0, exploring its special effects and memorable moments.
We Summertime Switched with Rider and was the Odd Man Out with Will - and now it’s finally time to check out one of Danielle’s non-BMW projects: Gamebox 1.0. The 2004 sci-fi thriller is available to watch for free on Tubi, and might just have been way ahead of its special effects time. Danielle shares her memories from the glamorous green screen warehouse they called a set, and recalls her scenes with friends of the show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s Nate Richert and The Sandlot’s Patrick Renna. The gang breaks down every detail in the confusing low-budget gem, including digital zombies, a mailman whose hands are tied to a steering wheel and a very depressing meal at the “Downbeat Cafe.” Plus, our hosts hear a viral theory on why crushing on Will or Rider can dictate your entire personality, on a CGI-heavy Pod Meets World… Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!
