    Talking Simpsons - 'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky

    Talking Simpsons - 'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky

    It's time for another Lisa-centric episode that speaks to all of the gifted kids who grew into confused adults. A documentarian played by Eric Idle shatters Lisa and Bart's sense of self, leading Lisa to battle light pollution (something your hosts never heard of before this 2003 ep). Listen for a podcast dissertation on that plus the Up series, Python troupe rivalries, songs about Vincent Van Gogh, and much more!

    Talking Simpsons - Brother from the Same Planet With Andrew Jupin

    Talking Simpsons - Brother from the Same Planet With Andrew Jupin

    In an episode full of movie references, we happily welcome back Andrew Jupin from the We Hate Movies podcast! Written under slight protest by the brilliant Jon Vitti, Bart gets revenge on Homer by teaming up with a man who was once Tom Cruise. All that plus addiction to Corey and a massive brawl all over town. We promise, this podcast is LESS painful than it looks!

    Talking Simpsons - C.E.D'oh

    Talking Simpsons - C.E.D'oh

    A lonely Valentine's Day leads Homer first to grease and then an Alec Baldwin parody in one of the funnier episodes of season 14. As Homer steals the nuclear plant from Mr. Burns, we reflect on the show's many references to birds, Poe, Star Wars prequels, and much more in this week's podcast. Just be sure you brought enough oil for the whole class!

This podcast and sleep

The only way I ever get to sleep some nights is because of this podcast thanks buddy chum

Great, well researched exploration

Each episode is meticulously researched and both host are very funny to boot.

John W816 ,

Unlistenable

The main hosts are personifications of the horseshoe theory and just miserable individuals all around, which make sense once you look at some of their past guests. I bailed when in the first fifteen minutes of an episode, I realized you could insert the same talking points from Henry Gilbert into any number of right wing cable news editorials.
