Rider Strong Recalls “Miserable” Shoot Of The Alcohol-Themed ‘Boy Meets World’ Episode Banned By Disney

deadline.com:

Boy Meets World actor Rider Strong recalled one particular episode that made him “very uncomfortable” and “so miserable” to film.

In a recent episode of Pod Meets World — the rewatch podcast dedicated to the ’90s sitcom co-hosted by Strong, Danielle Fishel and Will Friedle — the trio discussed an alcohol-themed episode that was eventually banned from airing by Disney for its mature content.

Strong, in particular, found the episode to be a watered-down warning message about alcoholism that ended up being more of a “disservice.” “I’m just half-assing it this entire episode,” he began. “I’m so miserable.” Strong continued, “I was probably 17 the first time I tried alcohol, so it was probably right before this.

But I remember Ben [Savage] and I talking about, like, ‘How do you play drunk?’ and having conversations about it. And he nails it.
