S17E12 - My Fair Laddy

From their Solid Gold Tesseract, Jack & Dan discuss season 17's My Fair Laddy, a Groundskeeper Willie episode (that's good) that's also a musical (that's bad.) They talk about the show's connection to experimental horror novel House of Leaves, musical parodies throughout the series, and the show's overuse of lampshading (and what lampshading is.) What kind of texture is Homer's blue pants? Where is Sideshow Mel from exactly? Why does DARPA need a second Internet? All that plus Jerkass Krusty, assless Homer, and classic Simpsons character Lawrence Kwincy Tierney.

S19E06 - Little Orphan Millie

Returning guest Dave Dormon joins Jack and Dan for Season 19's Little Orphan Millie, the episode where Kirk and Luann Van Houten reunite. They discuss the episode's complex character dynamics and weird side story that may or may not constitute a B-plot. Is Bart cool? Is WEE's dollars-to-megabyte ratio out of whack? What will be the store motto for Bluto's North Dakota Bathroom Tofurkey? All that plus Homer's musicality, Dan's pragmatic parenting and Coolie Cool & The Coolhouse Bunch.

S27E01 - Every Man's Dream

Now that their fifty practice episodes are out of the way, Jack & Dan start fresh with a brand new episode, the Season 27 premiere, Every Man's Dream! Homer has narcolepsy, makes sex with Lena Dunham, and nothing at all matters. Why is Dan primed to love rectums? Why is owning Hulu the company better than just having Hulu Plus? What is the ultimate point of WEE? All that plus, aging voice actors, doobers, and Dan tells Jack how Jack feels about his own parents' divorce.

S12E11 - Worst Episode Ever

It's WEE's Fitty Epivittery and to celebrate Dan & Jack watch their namesake episode, Season 12's "Worst Episode Ever," an episode that's all about Comic Book Guy. We discuss the silliness in the episode, a plot cobbled together from classic episodes, whether Comic Book Guy's arc failed, and the classic vs. post-classic stylings of Ralph Wiggum. Where will Dan put his dirty diapers? How much ketchup is unacceptable to Jack? Just how exactly will you be murdered on the WEE Cruise? All this, plus total prags, young pups, and a slew of important announcements from WEE Studios that you better listen to... or else... Thanks for fifty great episodes, WEE Universe! Looking forward to at least a few more before we start phoning it in.

S18E18 - The Boys of Bummer

Home stretch for Summer 2015, so Dan and Jack watch Season 18's The Boys of Bummer, a satire-adjacent episode where Homer becomes a mattress salesman, Bart attempts suicide, and nothing has anything to do with summer. Why does Marge have secret control over the town of Springfield? Why did J.J. Abrams fix the 2004 World Series? And would you see out Boffo Bucks Disney movie? All that, plus Homer's new catchphrase, the WEE Flip Book, and a consortium of mattress-related conspiracy theories.

S22E13 - The Blue and the Gray

WEE are joined again by special guest Nick Zurko to watch his suggestion, Season 22's The Blue and the Gray, an episode where Marge tries a new look and all of Springfield shits all over her. Which has happened before, and probably will again... What color is Patti & Selma's hair? How can you save on Neosporin bills? And how does Dan's immune system fight post-classic Simpsons? All that plus the Mr. Mxyzptlk/Vlassic connection, Worst Episode Ever gets a new title, and a preview of our new podcast: Gremlins 2: The New Cast.

S14E05 - Helter Shelter

WEE blasts into the past sort of as Jack, Dan and special guest Nick Zurko discuss Season 14's Helter Shelter. The Simpsons have termites and then just kind of decide to go be on a reality show where they live like its 1895, without anything resembling stakes or drama. Could the post-classic era ever ruin The Simpsons for us? Does Lenny have a wife? And what is Star Trek: The Next Generation's Warf's favorite post-classic episode? All that plus the future vapors, the oeuvre of Mike O'Malley, and Dan throws oranges at all his houseguests.

S23E19 - A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again

Jack and Dan are being brev this week while they watch Season 23's A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again and discuss experimentation in the post-classic era and just how Simpsony a Simpsons episode needs to feel. Can Jack make up for that mess of an intro? Why can't The Simpsons let the ocean tell the joke? Won't you let us take you on a WEE Cruise? All that plus mass graves, the weird weirds and Dan's spot on impression of people from Columbus, Ohio.

S20E13 - Gone Maggie Gone

Dan, Jack and returning special guest Dan Ozzi recover from deep-fried Doritos and the end of an era (for like a month or two) to watch Season 20's Gone Maggie Gone, the National Treasure meets Where's Waldo? meets Da Vinci Code meets Ratatouille meets the Apocolypse post-classic episode. Will Dan Ozzi survive the recording? Why are WEE taking on the United States Navy? Where's Podcast? There Podcast. All that plus Jack sneaks in another Stand reference, Dan's dead-on Simpsons Writers impression, Apu/Uter slashfic, sarcastic slang and all the many opposites of chicken WEE can think of.

S16E08 - Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass

Dan and the Yao to his Ming, Jack, and special guest Dan Ozzi collectively laugh while telling the angry loners who listen to WEE all about Season 16's Homer & Ned's Hail Mary Pass, a post-Super Bowl episode seen by 32 million people, in spite of its horrendous voice acting, ambiguous moral lesson and extended Homer gibberish. Did this episode inspire YouTube? Did Flanders kill a whole farm? Is Dan a Be-Sharper? All that plus the return of Dan's Illuminati product placement conspiracy, Dan Ozzi loves a good troll, and Jack explains why he was on all those white supremacist websites ten years ago.
