– The news was revealed while the cast attended the nostalgic ’90s Con in Connecticut
– The documentary will record their experiences in podcasting
– Danielle Fishel states the film may not be released to the public, serving more as a personal memoir
Expect a dose of ’90s nostalgia as notable ‘Boy Meets World’ actors Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle, currently hosting their podcast ‘Pod Meets World’, have begun documenting their podcasting journey. The trio made the announcement at the ’90s Con in Connecticut and hinted at their cinematic endeavor.
A Step Towards Recording Personal Experiences
Strong, the mind behind the podcast, first introduced the idea of creating a documentary. According to Fishel, the 42-year-old actress famous for playing Topanga, Strong suggested they capture their ongoing journey.
This wasn’t intended solely for public consumption. Fishel clarified that the film might not see a public release. She added, “It’s just for us. But yeah, we’re really excited about it.”
Podcast and Documentary Recording in Familiar Surroundings
Friedle, a local to Hartford where the ’90s-con was held, disclosed that they had commenced filming the documentary. Interestingly, they began by filming in his untouched childhood bedroom. The 47-year-old actor had left this bedroom behind at 16 to join the cast of ‘Boy Meets World’.
This reunion stirred humor and fond memories, with Strong joking about how Friedle’s childhood bedroom remains untouched since his teenage years.
Reflecting on a Beloved Series
‘Boy Meets World’, an ABC production that was later syndicated on Disney Channel, ran from 1993 to 2000. This hit series traced the coming-of-age journey of Corey Matthews, played by Ben Savage, from junior high through college.
Fishel, Strong and Friedle played significant roles as Corey’s girlfriend, best friend, and brother, respectively. The trio were joined at the Connecticut ’90s Con by their former co-stars: William Daniels (Principal Feeny), Betsy Randle (Corey’s mom Amy), William Russ (Corey’s dad Alan), Bonnie Bartlett Daniels (Dean Bolander), Anthony Tyler Quinn (Mr. Turner) and Trina McGee (Angela).
In conclusion, while the stars of ‘Boy Meets World’ venture into a new medium, their fans can cherish their favorite memories from the ‘90s hit series and podcast. Furthermore, a documentary, even if it remains unaired, would immortalize their podcasting experience. Perhaps this glimpse into their private journey will spark a new way for fans to connect with arguably one of the most beloved sitcom casts of the ’90s.
