S22E05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your LIfe

Dan, Jack and special guest Steele Tyler Filipek (@WordsofSteele) rock the room and watch Season 22's Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life, the Montreal Expos of Simpsons episodes, featuring a story cobbled together from several classic-era plots. Has there ever been a Simpsons Jingle All the Way plot before? How old is Principal Skinner? Where does Dan get his news? All that plus spite-based editing, beecaps, LBHs, and a knife of listenership.

S14E17 - Three Gays of the Condo

It's Pride Month and our birthdays so Dan and Jack spend twelve weeks in WEE Studios with special guest Joanna Tillman (UCB!) to watch the Season 14 timewaster "Three Gays of the Condo," an episode that is sort of about homosexuality but also yet another Homer and Marge breakup story. How serious is Homer's alcoholism? Why does Joanna like Simpsons flashbacks? Which boy band lost The X Factor? How do WEE pay our rent? All that plus Puzzle Patrol, #content, and some existential dread.

S20E06 - Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words

Nerds and jerks Jack and Dan watch Season 20's "Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words", an episode where Homer breaks couples up for money, Lisa becomes a crosswords enthusiast, and the core conflict of the story doesn't start until the final three minutes. Which Bus Stop Character is an anti-vaxxer? When can obvious music cues be effective? Who's taking your food? How does our sexual crosswords bit end? All that plus Lisa the Bouvier, sad sack shit, and a sound effect made by a shoe horn? (12 letters, across).
