So sorry for the delay but we're finally back! Some have said that this episode from Season 19 would have been the perfect way to end the show, I guess they didn't realize it would still be going strong 15 years later with no signs of stopping. The episode places Homer in a precarious position where he doesn't remember a seemingly traumatic experience from the night before. As he tries to put the pieces back together he realizes what a lucky man he truly is.  We were a bit torn over this one...

The Budnik-Scarupa family is back with this holiday themed episode from Season 22. Not going to lie it’s a weird one as we see the Christmas dreams of 4 of the family members.

Months ago our friend Jessica Alvarez mentioned that she was watching Homerpalooza and was having a tough time accepting the fact that the then current bands, shown in the episode, are now the "old people" bands. She requested we take a look at this episode which we not only did but but one better and invited her to join us to get her take on it. Like Homer in the episode, we struggle with accepting that the bands shown are no longer relevant and wonder if the same can be said about us? Cori...
