Remember Shuffle

This is a Patreon demo. Join to hear our full thoughts on the 2000s Zombie Comedy films!

In a decade obsessed with parody, it was only a matter of time before zombies got their turn. This episode covers Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Zombieland (2009)—bookends of the 2000s that chart the evolution of the zombie comedy, from British deadpan to American violent excess (with some epic redditness thrown in).

It's our spooky season episode! Remember Shuffle turns to a much requested topic, the zombie films of the 2000s. After tracing the history of zombie media and mythology, they review two major tentpoles of 2000s Zombie films, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's "28 Days Later" (2002) and Zack Snyder and James Gunn's "Dawn of the Dead" (2004). The Shuffle Bois discuss the themes and big ideas of these films, including individualism vs communitarianism, politics and class, as well as their tropes and style.

Join the patreon to listen to part 2 of our 2006 Victorian stage magician series. The Shuffle Boys talk about the Hapsburg Empire. Unlike the Prestige, the change in setting to the Austro-Hungarian Empire offers a new lens for discussing magic, more in terms of politics and empire: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffle

Remember the 2006 Autumn of the two Victorian era stage magician movies? We cover the the better/more popular one on the main feed. We look at friend-of-the-pod Chris Nolan’s 2000s classic about modernity, rivalry, and craftsmanship.

We break down one of the Soprano’s masterpiece episode, in which Tony and Carmela’s marriage becomes the biggest whacking of the season. We discuss how all the details this season have built to this point, and themes of class with his lawyer neighbor, Alan Sapinsly.

Season-long plot chart: https://x.com/RememberShuffle/status/1965431303438041404

eyyy, there they are, the loyle Sopranos episode listener. We return the mulecart to the Sopranos well to fill up our buckets with talk on what season 4 was trying to talk about: Alienation and the weakening of all Tony’s social bonds.

We break down 3 episodes: the oft-maligned ‘Christopher’, the unforgetably funny ‘The Strong, Silent Type’, and the polarizing ‘Watching Too Much TV’. Then wrap up with looking at how 9/11 influenced the season and themes of Class.

We finally did it. We lib out for 90 minutes to the first two seasons of Aaron Sorkin’s most successful project: The West Wing. A centrist liberal projection of an idealized America in the year 2000.  We break out our characters, and do a deep dive on Somebody’s going to emergency, somebody’s going to Jail, In Excelsis Dio, and Shiboleth. And then wrap up by trying to identify the very difficult question of “just what exactly does the Bartlett administration stand for anyway?”

The 2nd part of our weekend double feature, the Shuffle Bois turn again to the Mann-well. Mr Mann is at it again with Miami Vice (2006), a reboot of a groundbreaking TV show he created in the 1980s. Like Collateral, it’s got Audioslave, themes of professionalism and identity–but this time adding on some thoughts on globalism.
