Remember Shuffle

New military industrial complex just dropped! In this spiritual sequel to our drones episode, the Shuffle Bois take you, the listener, into the exciting cloak-and-dagger world of the black market cyber weapons trade. After defining key terms - hackers, vendors, clients, and zero days - they trace the history and developments of this new field of warfare through the 2000s. They then analyze some of the themes and big ideas that underlie this topic - globalization, the lack of regulation in the tech sphere, and the role of the deep state in creating this problem. They close by looking at what it means to live in this new and exciting world of cyberweapons and cyberwarfare.

This is a Patreon demo. Join to hear us do a deep dive into the end of the Cold War in Germany, Ostalgie, and the most internationally famous film in the artistic movement, Good Bye, Lenin!
Sometimes, you need to gaslight your sick mother for the greater good. Remember Shuffle is joined by Nick of the Corner Späti podcast for their first foray into foreign film, 2003's Good Bye Lenin, the best known instance of Ostalgie in film internationally. After recapping the plot of this halfway-zany, sitcom-style tragicomedy, the Shuffle Bois discuss what role nostalgia plays in contemporary Germany, the wild historical moment that was reunification and its disastrous consequences for the East, and how people react in the face of massive historical change. Listen for some fun tidbits on contemporary Germany, including: the prevalence of tanning bed guys, FKK (nude beach culture), Western Europeans' fixation with Native Americans, and East German ghost towns.

What’s the only thing that can stop 80 Bad Guys with a Gun? 1 Good Guy with A Lot of Guns. The year is 2006 and the adolescent Baby Boom Echo is about to be treated to a variety of brainless action options at the cinema. Come explore two of the latter-decade’s finest genre movies–unapologetically themselves and honest about what they are offering: cartoonish aestheticized violence.

"We have to go back! (?)" Remember Shuffle turns to one of the premiere network TV dramas of the 2000s, ABC's "Lost," proof that you can't quite fit the round peg of creator-driven, prestige-style drama into the square hole of a traditional TV network. After introducing the ensemble cast of melodramatically tragic characters, the Shuffle Bois + Sam do season-long plot recaps of a show that became increasingly unhinged as it went on, going from a survival drama to an alternate-universe, time-travelling, metaphysical quest between good and evil. They then analyze the very obvious themes of this show - faith, fate, leadership, and morality - before describing the unique style of this particular cultural artifact.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Shuffle Bois! It’s your yearly Christmas episode drop, and this year we’re taking a look at two instant classics from the 2000s, Robert Zemeckis' “Polar Express” (2004) and “Christmas Carol (2009). These two films represent Robert Zemeckis’ attempt to transcend the limits of the fleshy human body through the power of computers and technology. And they stink. In this episode, you’ll hear the Shuffle Bois describe and analyze the phenomenon of “The Uncanny Valley” and how these films fall into it. They also discuss Charles’ Dickens’ rad-lib politics, the changing nature of Christmas in the 19th century, Boomer nostalgia, and once again roast Hollywood’s insane accounting and overreliance on the newest technological fad.
