What happens when Homer Simpson recreates the misadventures of a weird Canadian outdoorsman? You get the last ep of production season 14, where Homer battles a bear after shopping for Mother's Day gifts. Following our review of the this ep's "Project Grizzly" origins, we dig into how this story of the hunter becoming the hunter won an enviromental award 20 years ago. Plus, podcast chat of Veggietales, Walmart, bear mascots, and all the other stuff we were scared of in 2003!

Pip pip and cheerio listeners, we're here to discuss the Simpsons' visit to London in this star-studded episode with more famous people than great jokes. Yes, they prioritize getting famous Brits in it from war criminal Tony Blair to hatemonger JK Rowling (plus a couple of UK citizens who aren't terrible people). But before that, we still get a couple of funny moments in the final episode written by John Swartzwelder. So grab your fish & chips for a podcast that goes deep into this era of US-UK relations!
