Talking Simpsons

"Relax, kids; I've got a GUT FEELING Uter is around here somewhere. After all, isn't there a little Uter in all of us? In fact, you might even say we just ATE UTER and he's in our stomachs right now! Wait—scratch that one." - Seymour Skinner
It's time once again to bask in the warm, glowing, warming glow of yet another Simpsons Halloween special—and, quite possibly, the funniest one to date. On this fifth installment, Homer becomes an axe-wielding, family slaying psychopath, the family gets trapped in a dystopian society lorded over by Ned Flanders, and Bart and Lisa risk being gooified by their hungry teachers. And if that's not enough, it all culminates with a show-stopping, inside-out dance number!

"Because of the Xanax, I'm not overanxious about being a Simpson anymore. I am a little anxious about being on Xanax, but the Zoloft covers that nicely." - Lisa Simpson
Mr. Burns cancels the company's prescription plan, causing the disease-ridden Simpson family to seek a Canadian solution to their very American problem. But when Homer and Abe's drug-smuggling operation goes bust, the two find an unlikely friend in a certain 104-year-old Springfieldian who owns an aircraft perfect for a wild, third act caper.

We've reached the end of the month, which means it's time for another episode of our community podcast! To close out the month of February, we talk about The Simpsons' 800th episode, strange Disney+ censorship, and the 10th anniversary of the screenshot search engine, Frinkiac. And, as always, we read and respond to your questions and comments from the last round of podcasts. It's all happening on Talk to the Audience: the podcast that derides your truth-handling ability!

"I'm currently incarcerated... Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit! Huh! 'Attempted murder;' now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for 'attempted chemistry?' Do they?" - Bob Underdunk Terwilliger
Sideshow Bob returns and dabbles in the world of Springfield politics in ways that may remind you of Watergate and the 1988 US presidential election. But when he uses his new mayoral powers against the Simpsons, Bart and Lisa have to team up or else risk living in a motel that probably costs more than six dollars a night.

Your regularly scheduled episode of Talking Simpsons is being pushed to next week for a very good reason: we've decided to shift our priorities a bit and cover an infamous animated special that's the perfect fodder for our podcast. (And we haven't lost our minds—it's for a good cause.) So if you head on over to our Patreon shop, you'll see that we've covered "The Simpsons Guy," The Family Guy season 13 premiere that mashes up Our Favorite Family with... that other family. The price? A meager $10. And every penny of it will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
Can't afford an extra $10 this month? We'll see you next week, when we cover season six's Sideshow Bob Roberts. But just remember the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota is always accepting donations, so keep them in mind whenever you've got a little extra in the bank.
Again, if you'd like to hear our exclusive podcast all about the season 13 Family Guy episode, "The Simpsons Guy," just click right here to head over to our Patreon shop.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please DO NOT buy the episode via the iOS Patreon app! Apple personally jacks up the price by $4.50, and that extra fee goes directly to them.
