  • Love the show…

    I do, however, I just listened to the 10th Anniversary show and, well, maybe even a simple use of Chris’s name might not have destroyed the fabric of the universe.

    Hey, even Germany mentions Hitler when they talk about their past.

    Easily the best Simpsons podcast. You can always trust that a show is hosted by thoughtful, reasonable people when you see all the “TOO POLITICAL” reviews left by brain-dead MAGAcucks.

  • Checked back in

    Wanted to see if the hosts had lightened up a bit, but nope. This should be a party, but it’s like being at a party at the DMV or the dentist. Reminds me of a party I went to where people started equivocating pet ownership to slavery.

  • Too off topic

    Seriously? You’re supposed to be talking about the Simpsons. This was honestly kinda bad.

  • Great stuff, love the vast amount of research and knowledge they bring, love learning about all that, love listening to other people who love these shows. Sometimes they can be a bit long winded... Most of it is interesting, but there is a risk of "tuning it out", since the episodes are so long.

    Still, I learned so much here and I do love animations and finding out more about the behind the scenes.

    My favourite are king of the hill episodes, but most of them are paywalled, sadly
