*MINI EPISODE*

Hello dear listeners and here we are, the end of our festive run (its February...) of mini episodes looking at long running and long suffering franchises. This episode we look at that which has always and shall always be, THE SIMPSONS. a show that has gone from funny short, to cultural juggernaut that defined an era, to being kinda okay, to just being on.


We look back at the shows lofty past and barely watchable present by comparing two episodes, from two eras, with similar plots, and wildly different outcomes.


If you want to watch the episodes we talk about they are:

THE TWISTED WORLD OF MARGE SIMPSON (8.11) and

THE MANY SAINTS OF SPRINGFIELD (34.13).


We're back to films from the next pod on, specifically VIETNAM WAR FILMS, starting with FULL METAL JACKET.
