This episode goes behind the scenes…of what goes on behind the scenes! Let’s go deeper!!

Go ahead and separate the marshmallows out of your cereal because this episode is sweet! The gang is joined once again by Trina McGee to breakdown an episode written by a young Bill Lawrence, years before his success as the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso.

The father/son softball game becomes more of a father/son battle and Topanga takes on Cory in the great Pledge debate. This one is loaded with some hella cool BTS details you need to hear, including why rewatching it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths (Hint: It’s not because of Minkus’ tainted hamburger). 

Trina McGee, aka the beloved Angela Moore, joins the gang for the highly requested reunion of unpacking that Pod Meets World is known for.

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

Order up a couple of Double Chubbies with cheese because this episode is ready to heal.

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.
