Description

Jason Pollock is on hand this week to discuss "Dancin' Homer," which originally aired in the US on November 8, 1990.

We ponder what the fictional Capital City is analogous for... Is it Chicago or New York? Does it matter? And, yes... We talk about Star Wars. Because Pollock has a beef to pick with Star Wars...and because guest star Tom Poston happens to resemble Emperor Palpatine. Or is it the other way around? Dig in.
