William Daniels is a consummate performer, and the most accomplished actor on the Boy Meets World set, but THIS episode marks the first time we see him *almost* break. Emphasis on ALMOST.
 
The gang bids farewell to Joey the Rat – but welcomes back Vader – who gets to flex some real acting muscle!
 
It’s the first episode after the Cory and Topanga break-up, but the script doesn’t seem to care. And who knew that Mr. Turner was from…Connecticut?

Danielle, Rider & Will have already tracked down some BMW-lifers for the podcast, getting the inside scoop from the select few crew members who worked on the show for all 7 seasons. But when it comes to the true tea, no one saw more than the Stage Manager. And Steve Hoefer was that – and more – for the show’s entire run.

In addition to directing one of the most surreal episodes of the series, he was the brave soul in charge of making sure everyone got to set on time (and he reveals which 2 cast members had the hardest time achieving that).

n

He’d later go on to direct almost every Nickelodeon show ever made, but for this podcast we get a completely different perspective on Danielle’s first appearance, why a mythical creature from Magic: The Gathering was a fixture on set and what Universal Studios Tram operators can NEVER say.
 
And, we finally hear the origin of longtime BMW inside joke, “Steve’s Havin a Baby!,” directly from the source.

This episode is a big example of art imitating life, when Rider sees some familiar details in Cory and Topanga’s break-up. AND…that’s not where the similarities end! Rider shares a behind the scenes story of TWO dates visiting him on set at the same time!

n

Will the gang finally be all-in for Cory and Topanga, thanks to the work of a somewhat jarring, but emotional, montage? And what’s the latest update regarding the awkward Richard Dreyfuss encounter that Danielle still cringes about?

n

Plus, we hear more hilarious Tony Quinn stories and get an inside look at Will’s infamous “breaking face” on the newest Pod Meets World…

We continue our celebration of getting halfway through Season 3 and (kinda sorta) approaching the halfway point for recaps, by participating in another fierce competitive draft! This time Danielle, Rider & Will are faced with choosing the best EPISODES they’ve seen so far.
 
Who will score the iconic Shawn episode “The Fugitive??” Will the Pilot episode even get picked?? And will Topanga be in ANY of them? 
 
As is the trend with Pod Meets World, the draft transcends into serious unpacking when the gang confronts their conflicted relationship with acting and, most importantly…their hair.
 
And YOU get to be part of the action! We’re taking your votes on who has the best episode lineup! Who will win this time? Make your choice on Instagram @podmeetsworldshow…
