Good news, everyone: As a special holiday-style bonus, we're proud to present our interview with Futurama supervising director Peter Avanzino! Listen in as we talk to Peter about his long career in animation, directing on shows like The Simpsons, Duckman, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Disenchantment, and more. Plus, learn all about the secret season of television he worked on that never saw the light of day...
We go slightly off schedule to do 2003's holiday Simpsons ep, and we welcome back YouTube creator Pop Arena (check out their Nickelodeon retrospective Nick Knacks)! After we reflect on all of the Xmas specials we grew up watching, we follow Homer on a journey of self-discovery. Can you give Certs as a gift? How many bits were cut from the script? And how accurate is this to Mr. Magoo lore? We dig into all of that in this seasonal podcast!

We welcome back journalist Louis Peitzman to discuss the sequel to the last podcast he did with us, Like Father, Like Clown! This time around, Krusty deals with his religious background after reconnecting with his Rabbi father to plan an adult bar mitzvah. This somehow leads Homer to getting his own TV show that's a light parody of Bill Maher. How does this tie into a rushed ending with a lot of Mr. T in the first show of production season 15? Learn all about that as we discuss an ep that's Raymond rerun good!

As Marge and Ruth battle the police state, we welcome back experts in satirizing dumb cops, Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, creators of the comic Justice Warriors (the new volume 2, Vote Harder, makes a great seasonal gift)! After reflecting on this story in the current post-election climate, learn how Thelma And Louise inspired this ep, why good waffles stick together, and how to balance parenting with watching Simpsons reruns constantly. Plus, the history of sunshine, lollipops, and everything that's wonderful on this podcast!

Whew, that was certainly an eventful November to say the least, and we're not just talking about all the podcasts we released. After we look back on the Simpsons news of the last few weeks like Halloween eps and NFL crossovers, we look back on the movies/TV/games we used as escapism in these dark times before heading out on a vacation for the rest of this Thanksgiving month. Then we reply to some of our favorite comments as usual, so listen in and commiserate in our monthly community pod!
