Talking Simpsons - Bart The Genius (Revisited) With Eric Szyszka
Added 2020-01-08 05:00:58 +0000 UTCJust in time for the 30th Anniversary, Talking Simpsons returns to the first season of the show to do a much deeper dive than we did the first time! And joining us is returning favorite Eric Szyszka from the We Hate Movies podcast! We just into the debut episode, Bart The Genius, a strange but fun ep full of weiners, green skin, lying on tests, operas, and so much more! Listen now or be damned if you don't!

I believe the Skinner "Pathetic." meme is a reference to a scene in End of Evangelion, where Asuka says it framed in a similar shot.

2020-03-05 04:10:23 +0000 UTCThank you for going back to the first season. The Simpsons premired when I was in high school though my friends and I had been fans for a while through the shorts and the Life in Hell books. That first season we even made a point of taking a Simpsons break during our D&D nights. Two things I wanted to bring up: First, I actually have seen Carmen in Russian, at a small experimental theater in Moscow in 1995. It was a very bare bones production and well...pretty crappy even for post Soviet experimental theater. To add to the surrealism of the show the actor playing Don Jose was the spitting image of Carmine Ragusa from Laverne and Shirley. Secondly, Tiny Toons oddly shared several story lines with the first two seasons of the Simpsons...an offensively accented convenience store clerk, a recitation of the Raven by a famous actor with a distinctive voice (Vincent Price) and finally, a trouble making main character switching test papers with a genius (Plucky switching papers with Egghead....who I think only appeared the one time).
