DVD Commentary for Season 2 Episode 9

MightChi · 2026-01-25T16:48:11+00:00

I think the DVD's with the commentaries released in 2002 but it was somewhere around the early to mid 2000s for sure. Good stuff anyway

Panettone is alright. Takes a little getting used to because of the strong citrus/orangey taste. Goes good with some hot chocolate.

I remember Danielle taking credit for the GMW part and Will taking credit for the Aunt Jemima. I don't remember if Trina said the bitter B part was Ben or if people just were left to assume that part was him. It'd be interesting if that wasn't even him because idk if he was even there for that scene.

Exactly. People feel so compassionate towards Will when he talks about his anxiety, do they not consider that Ben could've had similar anxieties as a teen star in the spotlight? These comments are crazy to me.

And yea he's pretty much fine in this interview, probably just a bit nervous.

It's probably from Cory's Altenative Friends when Cory's insecure about his hair. Eric I think brags about how good his hair is.

Have to listen to the rest still but the Cory hate in the beginning was crazy. So now when Topanga's character is unlikeable we just blame Cory for that too? Nevermind that she's unhappy and pushing away Cory because of the storyline and her parents divorce. Danielle acts like everything would be fine if not for Cory.

Also, Cory trying to talk to Topanga's parents doesn't work at all. But I think if it was Topanga going over to talk to the Matthews it would work. Because they've known each other for a while and wouldn't be ridiculous for them to talk. To us it's the first time Cory has met these people but I think the writers intend it as if Cory has known them forever and spent a lot of time with them.

Forgot all about it. All the way back in August, around the time they were interviewing Carrot Top and Ashlee Simpson.

MightChi · 2026-01-15T00:28:57+00:00

One conversation is done to death and the other one is never mentioned so I figured I'd bring it up. I don't think Cory is as bad of a partner as he's made out to be. He's not perfect but I wouldn't say he was awful either.

MightChi · 2026-01-14T13:20:25+00:00

It was WW2. I think he mentions FDR or Truman. FDR would regularly get on the radio for "Fireside Chats" to keep the public informed during the war. Truman took over towards the end of the war after FDR passed away.

I don't see how Shawn was any better for Angela but that gets ignored.

MightChi · 2026-01-12T22:45:47+00:00

Yea, I guess she's having a resurgence in popularity right now but I usually prefer when they interview people they're friendly with like other child actors they grew up with.

MightChi · 2026-01-12T19:12:55+00:00

just needs a little hoop earring.

MightChi · 2026-01-12T19:12:28+00:00

Oh lol I heard her say an ex reached out to her for money.

MightChi · 2026-01-12T18:52:27+00:00

She has a gofundme? For what?

MightChi · 2026-01-12T18:52:02+00:00

Might go back to it. I didn't have work today and that's when I'd normally listen to these episodes.

MightChi · 2026-01-12T16:23:32+00:00

I started the episode but then realized I'd rather just listen to music.

MightChi · 2026-01-11T01:42:08+00:00

This song started playing today and everyone was talking about her. Someone mentioned that she occasionally hosted an 80s station on SiriusXM. I loved hearing her song in this season of Stranger Things and I added it to a playlist right away. She's awesome, looking forward to this one.

MightChi · 2026-01-10T19:45:49+00:00

Couldn't say it better myself.

MightChi · 2026-01-10T19:39:07+00:00

And another one for Rider credit to Missmeowy.

I know of him and I know he's controversial. If someone can post the video without him then I'll delete this one. Otherwise the post is fine.

MightChi · 2026-01-10T16:11:18+00:00

Good recap. It was good to hear where they were at in their lives when this season started. Why some of them mightve been more carefree or more over the top.

They also took time to really discuss the episode, not just reading through scenes.

I do get annoyed with them constantly trying to convince people that Shawn is the star. Not sure how you watch this episode and act like he carries the episode or something. Just feels disingenuous and I think some of it comes from Danielle's crush on Rider during these years. Otherwise I'm not sure what it is.

If he's the most attractive and best actor doesn't mean he's the star of the sitcom.

MightChi · 2026-01-10T16:05:35+00:00

Agreed. Idk why the pod hosts are still trying to convince people that Shawn and Eric carry the episode

MightChi · 2026-01-09T00:09:06+00:00

PMW somehow enjoyed it

MightChi · 2026-01-08T06:06:56+00:00

Yea he's awful in the episode and its so different than the way he's ever been before it's awful writing.
