Worst Episode Ever #129: No Country for Old Pods

S24E09 - Homer Goes to Prep School

Hey Everybody, this is a placeholder for the full episode page so everyone knows a new episode went out this morning. I (Dan) had setup the page to automatically post this morning for this episode and the remaining episodes of the show that we’ve recorded, and Squarespace deleted all of them. Squarespace is terrible and I hate it.

Anyway, here’s the link to today’s episode and the stream for it:

S24E04 - Gone Abie Gone

Dan, Jack and stand-up comic Billy Kammerer watch Season 24's Gone Abie Gone, a goose chase episode that isn't wild, involving Grampa's estranged jazz singer wife, Lisa's online poker addiction, and a plot baton passed from character to character.

All that plus coaster chests, sideshow panache, A-Rod & A-Roke, and WEE make a big summer announcement.

S24E05 – Penny-Wiseguys

This week on an over-stuffed “Worst Episode Ever,” it’s Season 24’s “Penny-Wiseguys” starring Steve Carrell, the Thanksgiving of actors. Carrell plays a mafia accountant who gets put in charge, an okay story idea that makes a fairly terrible Simpsons episode. We examine the fanboy-ization of modern era jokes, tackle the disturbing over-sexualization of Marge, and prove how little we know about TV professionals by reverse-engineering the modern Simpsons episode writing process. Why does the Simpson family barely appear on their own show? When did Bart become an actual criminal and not a mischievous scamp? And did they really bring Alex Trebek into the studio for this? All that, plus insectivorians, bogons, and a brand new feature where Dan reads his old Simpsons fan fiction. Either listen to WEE or enjoy getting coffee for Roy Disney III…
