2020-08-10 05:29:58 +0000 UTCI wonder if the NRBQ documentary being worked on was their appearance on A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts. I don’t see the series cataloged thoroughly anywhere, but if you search for “nrbq breakfast with the arts” or “nrbq Simpsons” you will find bits and pieces. This clip has most of The Simpsons stuff and features Mike Scully. https://youtu.be/6FP0HTMVl9M Everything seems to indicate it was from 2003, so it is questionable.

2020-08-10 05:23:37 +0000 UTCIt’s stressing the first syllable vs. the last syllable. “REZ-oomay” (standard) vs. “rezoo-MAY” (Marge’s way)

2020-08-08 17:26:28 +0000 UTCI have been waiting for so long for this episode to understand the resumé/resumé joke. It turns out that I likely will never actually get the joke as I can't hear a difference in the pronunciations. I feel like my life has been wasted.

2020-08-08 14:54:01 +0000 UTCThank you for clarifying the time travel Marge part of the dance. I was so confused for the longest time. Even though it's been years since I seen this episode, I always get a laugh out of the part where the dance is over and Marge has that tired look on her face. I forgot how good this episode was.

2020-08-08 10:04:30 +0000 UTCThe “Mayonnaise and Marmalade” song is so oddly delightful. It makes me laugh every time.

2020-08-07 17:03:57 +0000 UTCHenry saying "...while in their late 30s" for this episode really stood out. Either I'm getting too old, but I really forgot that they are only supposed to be around that age. Maybe its the strong boomer energy of the plot

2020-08-06 22:31:39 +0000 UTCOh, and I'm totally fine with the extra step of Marge throwing the bike. It's kinda like the "Super Fun Happy Slide": we all know we probably shouldn't do it... but given the already ridiculous setup, when are we going to have this chance again? ^_^ Thanks for the podcasts, folks. Stay safe. :)

2020-08-06 18:50:12 +0000 UTCMaybe they got away with it by saying it meant punching *FOR* Christ. Y'know... like, fighting on his behalf, or whatever.

2020-08-06 18:31:24 +0000 UTCIt's like an NRBBQ. They extra "B" is for BYOBB.

2020-08-06 18:25:41 +0000 UTCLenny must love the '50s, judging by his appearance in "Marge Gets a Job" (shame he was a week early).

2020-08-06 18:24:10 +0000 UTCOld Internet Rumor: Chris Carter believed heavily in the Y2K Doomsday, so he wanted to wrap up his shows by the end of 1999. On January 1st, he was totally lost and had to come up w/ new series arcs quick.

2020-08-06 07:10:30 +0000 UTCI was wondering this the whole episode!

2020-08-06 02:00:08 +0000 UTCThe whole "Cycle Slut" bit caught me completely off guard this time and I gotta say it REALLY bugged me. Homer has done a lot of awful things (in season 11 alone), but this being present where the joke is that Homer didn't ask permission because he knew she'd say no just makes me feel gross. I wish there was something more clever, like the bike being the cycle slut and Homer not having realized Marge was there or something. As it is, Homer just crossed a consent line with Marge that I really don't like (and yes, I know protagonists don't have to be completely moral, I just think this comes across as misogynistic without any kind of good joke or comment).

2020-08-05 20:02:29 +0000 UTCI'm in Bob's boat. As a Catholic schoolboy, "Christ Punchers" shocked me to my core like no other Simpsons line.

2020-08-05 17:19:39 +0000 UTCHomer's slow transition into being a sociopath is still alarming, though.

2020-08-05 15:42:05 +0000 UTCGoing through season 11 has been a real eye-opener. I first saw these episodes when they were new during a rough patch of my life, which made me think I liked them way less than I do. They're not great but with the benefit of hindsight I can appreciate them for what they are: pretty good cartoons.
