Pod Meets World

The episode may be about being second string, but this recap is starter material all the way!

The crew goes all ‘Murder She Wrote’ and pieces together another discrepancy between filming and airing, figuring out that this episode is probably much closer to the pilot than you’d think.

Rider remembers a push-up problem, Will has chicken issues and Danielle remembers the time her little brother ruined a trip to Disneyland.

Plus, what line from this episode was so memorable that the cast repeated it behind the scenes for over 7 years!? You’ll need to think fast - even faster than Feeny’s AMC Gremlin!

It’s a TGIF reunion! The Pod Meets World crew is joined by Step by Step’s Christine Lakin (aka Alicia “Al” Lambert) to reminisce about being the new kids on the Friday night block.

They share experiences of what it was like returning to school as a TV star, teen heartthrob paintball wars, secret set tricks and kissing a co-star! (ooooh!)

Plus Christine, a BMW guest star herself, recalls a story that scarred her for years, while Will shares a little “undapants” TMI that will affect Danielle forever.

Marla Sokoloff is best known for her successful career on TV shows like Full House, Friends and The Practice, but before all that - she was “Paige” (and almost Topanga) on Boy Meets World. 

The delightful actress stops by to talk to the gang about her prolific TGIF legacy, life at the Oakwoods and her memories of the infamous Topanga switch.

And they also dig deep into the psyche of the child actor, and the pressure that comes with auditioning.

These 4 friends have been through a lot and are living proof that open communication is key.

In this episode Shawn's dad gets laid off at Christmas time, starting the oh-so-emo, and long lasting, narrative that Shawn is poor. Cory vows to get Shawn a present, but that act of kindness proves harder than it sounds.

It’s certainly a BMW moment we’ve remembered for decades…except for Rider who for some reason can’t remember this episode AT ALL.

Will overheard something on set that changed his acting strategy forever and we do some ‘90s trivia that the hosts may or may not know.

It’s fitting that this is a Christmas BMW episode because it's the gift that keeps on giving.
