So it's come to this... We've finally reached one of the most infamous episodes of The Simpsons, and we're giving it the deluxe podcast treatment! Allie Goertz and Julia Prescott of the great podcast Everything's Coming Up Simpsons join us live at the Gateway Theatre for our 2019 San Francisco Sketchfest show to discuss the Seymour Skinner story that set alt.tv.simpsons (and perhaps the world) on fire back in 1997. Will The Principal and the Pauper go down as a secretly great episode, or will we taunt and boo writer Ken Keeler until our throats are sore? Put down Armin's copy of Swank, because this is one episode of Talking Simpsons you can't miss!

[Note: The audio levels are a little off for the first eight minutes, but should sound perfectly fine after that.]

Season Nine of The Simpsons has begun, and to official explain New York City to us, we're joined by Stephen Sajdak, a native New Yorker (and cohost of the great We Hate Movies podcast)!! The family hits the Big Apple where everyone except Homer has an amazing time, while Homer hangs out at the World Trade Center. We talk the history of this episode, the weird conspiracy theories it fueled, some of the great jokes, and so much more in this week's awesome podcast!

We're closing out season 8 with a story ripped from the headlines of the mid-'90s, and Kat Bailey from USGamer is joining us for the fun. After a bad trip to the Museum... of CRIME, Bart gets sent to military school and Lisa joins him. Too bad a butt load of sexism means Lisa has a horrible time there. Learn all about that and the real-life news that inspired it all in this week's podcast!
