Episode 15: Simpson and Delilah, and the Fantasies of Bruce Willis
Listen now
Description
Chris (Moltisanti) Prentice is here to discuss "Simpson and Delilah," which originally aired in the US on October 18, 1990. This is the episode where Homer discovers a miracle hair growth formula that changes his life...briefly.  It's a very good, funny episode with a bitter edge - and a cynical worldview as far as elements of the common male self-image. So we spend a bit of time discussing the episode's merits, which include a wonderful supporting character - Homer's secretary named Karl - played by Harvey Fierstein.  Some of us even confess about our own relationship with hair loss and what that means, and if it stings or not.  We talk about the episode... we talk about hair loss... We talk about Sean Connery and Bruce Willis. Because there is a relationship between those two, very famous, very masculine movie stars and this episode.  It's a good time. Dig in.
