Talking Simpsons - The Mike Reiss Interview
Added 2018-06-09 15:59:59 +0000 UTCMike Reiss has worked on The Simpsons for more than three decades, as one of the first writers hired, as a co-showrunner of seasons 3 and 4, and as a producer giving input to this day on both the series and the film. Not only that, but he co-created The Critic and has written for animated feature films and now has a new book all about his life, Springfield Confidential (buy it here). Bob and Henry chat with Mr. Reiss for a whole hour about his long career, and we learn many Simpsons secrets and fun insights from a comedy legend. Listen and enjoy!

Just listened to this. It was very enjoyable and Mike told some Simpsons/Critic stories that I hadn't heard before in commentaries. Just one thing: Comparing Hank Hill to Homer Simpson in 2001 was pretty ignorant, though I understand being bitter. The fact that he's still flying that flag in 2018 is ludicrous. I wish you guys had pushed back just a bit..
