Remember Shuffle

• 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. Huge thanks to Isaac Eger for guesting on this episode.

• Meet the Parents: E69 Gay not like us

  Remember Comedies? Remember Shuffle looks back at a now-dead art form and examines the mechanics of the 90 minute feature film comedy. Comedies typically age very poorly, but the simple grounded premise of Meet the Parents allows it to be immortal. We talk about what makes Meet the Parents funny and how it differs fundamentally from a movie like Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted. And because it’s Remember Shuffle, we’ll talk about class and the CIA. Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠And on Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

• The Drone Program: E68 Are ya winning son?

  Loiterers will not be prosecuted. Another ‘very special episode’ from Remember Shuffle, looking at the largest disruptor of military orthodoxy in the 2000s: Predator Drones. Predators give the ability to watch targets endlessly–before, during, and after strikes from hellfire missiles or operator raids. Obama ramps up the drone program significantly after his election as drones offer a technocratic solution to war that appeals perfectly to Obama’s liberal sensibilities.  Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

• 300: E67 Mullah-holland Drive

  It’s Satrap! Leonidas and 299 of his closest platonic friends make the ultimate sacrifice for western civilization by beating back Globo Homo. One of the 2000s most famous graphic novel adaptations features a not-so-implicit reference to our war in the middle east to fight for freedom. When analyzing this very dumb movie, The Shuffle Bois discuss the various binaries underlying the Clash of Civilization narrative (freedom vs slavery, democracy vs autocracy, East vs West, sexual degeneracy vs probity) and its long-lasting impact on the Alt Right and Manosphere ethos and imagery.
