Talking Simpsons - Round Springfield 0
Dec 27, 2017
In a very special episode, Lisa loses Bleeding Gums Murphy (who was never popular). After Bart eats a jagged metal cereal piece, Lisa reconnects with the sickly jazz musician, who passes away and leaves a hole in Lisa's life. Can she find a way to honor him via a radio station and magic? And is this episode worse than we remember? Find out here!
Talking Simpsons - The PTA Disbands 0
Dec 20, 2017
After drinking plenty of Malk, we cover this classic episode, like it or lump it. Skinner and Edna are battling over a teacher's strike (purple monkey dishwasher) and all the kids are set free. We chat about all this with Super Best Friends' own Matt McMuscles as our special guest. Not listening to this podcast? That's a paddlin'.
Talking Simpsons - Two Dozen And One Greyhounds 0
Dec 13, 2017

Simpsons meets Disney in this iconic episode. Santa's Little Helper misses casual sex, the family ends up with 25 dogs who love Models Inc, and Mr. Burns shows off his wardrobe in this classic. We comment on it all with our special guest, Kat Bailey, so get a big bag of chips ready and listen!

Talking Simpsons - Lisa's Wedding 0
Dec 6, 2017
Zounds! We're headed to the far off future of 2010 to see Lisa (and the rest of Springfield) grow up in one of the funniest AND most heartwarming episodes ever. Bart is in construction, Burns got stabbed a bunch, and a bunch of celebrities are still at large. Join us in the cheap showiness of nature to reexamine and explain this classic with special guest Kat Bailey!
Talking Simpsons - A Star Is Burns 0
Nov 29, 2017
Boo-urns! It's time for the crossover that entertained millions and pissed off Matt Groening. We get into that, as well as some of the most meme-inspiring lines in Simpsons history, including quiet parts loud, footballs to groins, nonunion Mexican equivalents, and so much more. Just hook it to your veins!!!
Talking Simpsons - Homer Vs Patty And Selma 0
Nov 22, 2017
After blowing all his money on pumpkins, Homer is in desperate need to save his family and dear Rat Boy. So he turns to Patty and Selma for help, which somehow also involves Mel Brooks. Meanwhile, Bart does ballet in a plot that's wholly separate from Homer's problems, but is fun all the same on this week's podcast!
Talking Simpsons - Bart Vs. Australia 0
Nov 15, 2017
We head to the land down under for some giant beers, spoon against knives, and mucus-filled marsupials. Learn a ton about Australia in what is probably the best international trip the Simpsons have as they face a booting thanks to draining. Wanna go smell-- I mean, wanna go listen?
Talking Simpsons - Homie The Clown 0
Nov 8, 2017
I'm seeing double here - FOUR podcasts! We're doing one of the funniest Simpsons episodes ever, with Seattle, speed holes, Italian stereotypes, and (of course) gigantic asses. Listen and laugh along with the hosts during this total classic installment!
Talking Simpsons - Bart's Comet 0
Nov 1, 2017
Que sera, sera, it's time for us to do what some argue is the greatest episode of The Simpsons ever.

Enjoy this podcast and remember, democracy simply doesn't work.

Talking Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror V 0
Sep 6, 2017

Aug 16, 2017

Hoo boy, we've really hit a low with this one, the worst clip show and thus the worst episode of The Simpsons ever!

So enjoy this tribute to love with no memorable lines whatsoever!
