Episode 7: The Call of the Simpsons is to Be a Burger King Kids Meal Playset
Listen now
Description
Petrus returns to the podcast, to discuss  - "The Call of the Simpsons," which originally aired on February 18, 1990.  This is an episode he really cares about. Because, to be fair, when he sat down to talk "Homer's Odyssey," he was just doing Erix a favor.  But this episode has a special place in Petrus' heart. It's the first one he remembers watching...way back when he was just a little tyke. And that's rather appropriate as the episode - a wilderness adventure starring The Simpsons - is actually very kid friendly. Arguably the most kid friendly of the season, if not the entire series. In any case, it's easy to see why this episode spawned a Burger King Kids Meal playset that probably costs a small fortune on eBay today.  Erix and Petrus talk about that. They also talk about the genius of Albert Brooks and how his hilarious performance as sleazy car salesman Cowboy Bob is easily the best feature of the episode. It's a fast-paced, focused discussion that will surely provide quite a bit of enjoyment.  Please join us. Also...
