| 4/25/26 | 2008 Financial Crisis: E117 The Great Recession Part I | The fundamentals of our economy are… present. Welcome to Remember Shuffle’s ongoing multi-part series on the financial crisis of 2008 and the ensuing Great Recession. The Shuffle Bois begin with some table setting to explain the complex financial instruments and deregulation that led to the crisis - mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, and synthetic collateralized debt obligations - and introducing the rogues gallery of characters for this story. They then go beat-by-beat through the collapsing economy of 2008 and trace the decisions that were made by those running the banks as well as by those in power. They close, as always, with some themes and big ideas - including the separation of risk from incentive and the failures of neoliberal deregulation - before turning to the echoes in the culture, which are profound for this topic.Check out our website to search for episodes at: remembershuffle.comGive Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

Remember this one folks? It’s Shrek, the 2000s postmodern fairy tale created to spite the traditional source of children’s animation. Remember Shuffle delves into all 4 of the Shrek movies, and talks about the wide swaths of memes and Shrek deconstruction that exist online for this middle-brow phenomenon.

| 4/11/26 | X-Men: E115 By Any Genes Necessary | The Shuffle Bois, and returning guest Isaac, return to the well of comic book super hero fare to discuss the 2000s X-Men films. Being the pre-MCU, paleo-super hero films that they are, they can't help but be somewhat different from and more interesting than what came after. After summarizing the plots of the three main X-Men films from the decade, the Shuffle Bois talk themes - assimilation vs exclusivity, marginalization, and the LGTBQ allegory of these films, before closing out with a description of style and echoes in the culture.

| 3/28/26 | American Psycho: E114 Business Cardio | Do you like Remember Shuffle? Their early work was a little too derivative for my tastes, but when Epic Bacon Reddit Guy came out in '23, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole episode has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the riffs a big boost. They’ve been compared to The Rewatchables, but I think Remember Shuffle has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.Anyways, here’s the American Psycho episode on Brett Easton Ellis’ mise-en-scene satire of 80s yuppie culture.Check out our website to search for episodes at: remembershuffle.comGive Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

| 3/21/26 | Catch Me If You Can: E113 Reality Cheque | DEMO | This is a demo, check out the full episode at: patreon.com/RememberShuffleRemember Shuffle turns to one of their favourite kinds of film that we don't seem to get many of anymore: mid-budget, middle brow popcorn films, in the form of Steven Spielberg's 2002 film "Catch Me If You Can." The Shuffle Bois use this film as a springboard to discuss the state of Boomer Culture and Boomer Nostalgia in 2002. After describing the plot of the film, they do a mini-book review of the "source material," the lying, bragging, horny memoir of Frank Abegnale Jr, before turning to the themes and big ideas behind the film including family dynamics, the American dream, and Boomer culture.Give Remember Shuffle a follow on TwitterAnd on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

| 3/14/26 | America’s Next Top Model: E112 America’s Next Top Mogger | What happens when the exploitative and unethical world of fashion modelling meets the exploitative and unethical world of reality TV? The results may not surprise you. Remember Shuffle returns to the world of reality TV with a deep dive on America’s Next Top Model, featuring former contestant Sarah Hartshorne as expert guest correspondent. After tracing the history of the show and placing it in its particular historical moment, when every celebrity job was getting the reality show treatment, they dig into two retrospective sources on the show - Sarah’s book and a recent Netflix documentary, before turning, as always, to the major themes and big ideas behind the show and its echoes in the culture.Give Sarah a follow on Instagram!

| 2/28/26 | Invictus: E111 We Have Mandela at Home | With the campaign of Barack Obama in 2007-2008, the U.S. saw a resurgence in interest in Nelson Mandela, with Americans projecting a parallel with our own first black president. You can almost hear the gears turning in Clint Eastwood’s mind watching 2009’s Invictus–hoping to goad Obama towards symbolic reconciliation rather than expropriative redistribution. We look at Obama’s initial posturing and discuss whether or not he was doing the Mandela affect.Bibliographical information for the books we used on this episode:John Carlin, "Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation," Penguin Books 2008.Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism," Metropolitan Books, 2007Huge thanks to Isaac for guesting on this episode!

Join to hear us do a deep dive into the end of the Cold War in Germany, Ostalgie, and the most internationally famous film in the artistic movement, Good Bye, Lenin!Sometimes, you need to gaslight your sick mother for the greater good.

| 1/3/26 | LOST: E105 Mystery Box Theatre 2005 | "We have to go back! (?)" Remember Shuffle turns to one of the premiere network TV dramas of the 2000s, ABC's "Lost," proof that you can't quite fit the round peg of creator-driven, prestige-style drama into the square hole of a traditional TV network. After introducing the ensemble cast of melodramatically tragic characters, the Shuffle Bois + Sam do season-long plot recaps of a show that became increasingly unhinged as it went on, going from a survival drama to an alternate-universe, time-travelling, metaphysical quest between good and evil. They then analyze the very obvious themes of this show - faith, fate, leadership, and morality - before describing the unique style of this particular cultural artifact.

| 12/20/25 | A Christmas Carol / Polar Express: E104 Christmas Generated Imagery | Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Shuffle Bois! It’s your yearly Christmas episode drop, and this year we’re taking a look at two instant classics from the 2000s, Robert Zemeckis' “Polar Express” (2004) and “Christmas Carol (2009). These two films represent Robert Zemeckis’ attempt to transcend the limits of the fleshy human body through the power of computers and technology. And they stink. In this episode, you’ll hear the Shuffle Bois describe and analyze the phenomenon of “The Uncanny Valley” and how these films fall into it. They also discuss Charles’ Dickens’ rad-lib politics, the changing nature of Christmas in the 19th century, Boomer nostalgia, and once again roast Hollywood’s insane accounting and overreliance on the newest technological fad.
