Saddam Hussein: E73 The Iraq War Part I
Remember Shuffle finally turns to the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the 2000s, the Iraq War. On this table-setting episode, tThe Shuffle Bois trace the long history of American collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s regime, the souring of that productive relationship in the 1990s, and the obsessive fixation America developped for regime change in Iraq, both on the Neoconservative and Liberal Interventionist sides of the divide. They then look at some of the Themes and Big Ideas of American Middle Eastern foreign policy through the late 20th century. They then close out with a palate-cleanser film review of 1999’s “Three Kings.”Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

McDonald’s: E72 The Fries and Fall of a Midwest Princess
In part two of the Shuffle Bois’ two-part series on Burger, they turn to the goliath-pioneer of fast food: McDonalds. They trace the company’s flailing attempts to rebrand itself in the 2000s, some of the lasting innovations that they implemented in the decade, and outline some of the reasons that McDonalds’ revenue peaked in the 2000s before starting to decline. They pair this brief corpo-history with a film review of the 2000s documentary “Super Size Me,” which had some influence on the fall of McDonalds.Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

30 Rock with Chris Wade: E71 Six Sigma Boy
I want to go to there. The Shuffle Boys are joined by Chris Wade of Chapo Trap House to discuss what might be the greatest sitcom of the 2000s, 30 Rock. After describing the viewpoints and games of this character driven show, the boys analyze the show’s big ideas around the degeneration of broadcast media, the intersection of race, gender, and class, and 2000s era politics. As always, they close with the echoes in the culture of this supremely unique and self-confident show.Be sure to give Chris a follow @saywhatagain on Twitter, and check out his shows, Chapo Trap House, Infinite Cast, and And Introducing.

Fast Food Nation | Food Inc: E70 Corn Hub
The Shuffle Bois return to you with another fun one, taking a look at three cultural products from the 2000s centered around where our food comes from - the muckraking non-fiction book Fast Food Nation, its dramatic film adaptation by Richard Linklater, and the lib documentary Food Inc. They trace food production from factory farm to bolted-down McDonalds table and analyze how these 2000s era works identified problems and offered neoliberal, consumer-based solutions.

Remember the 2000s? A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.
