This week we're talking Marge vs. the Monorail, the episode Conan O'Brien wrote, Phil Hartman stole, and Springfield never recovered from. It's got one of the best songs, one of the best guest stars, and one of the worst ideas the town ever voted for… plus Leonard Nimoy in a guest spot that's pure Springfield chaos. All aboard!

"Do you know what we hate?"

High Strung (1991/92).

This week, we suffered through Steve Oedekerk's one-man spiral into madness as Thane Furrows, a children's book author who hates everything neighbors, dogs, toast, gravity and lets us know it in a relentless, sweaty stream of monologues.

The plot (kind of)? He gets cryptic messages that something big is coming at 8 o'clock. In the meantime, he paces, yells, and metaphorically shakes his fist at the sky while the audience slowly loses the will to live.

Fred Willard pops in. So does Denise Crosby. And eventually, Jim Carrey shows up as Death in an uncredited cameo that is somehow both the best and most confusing part of the movie.

Is it a comedy? Is it a hostage video with jokes? We're not sure. All we know is, we hated it.

Join us as we question our life choices, dissect this early '90s oddity, and beg the universe to never make us watch it again.

Released: 11/22/91-92 (limited) Directed By Roger Nygard Starring Steve Oedekerk, Thomas F. Wilson, Fred Willard, Denise Crosby, and Jim Carrey (sort of)

Homer's heart can't take the stress or the bacon, and when he ends up needing a triple bypass, the only doctor the Simpsons can afford is Dr. Nick. That's right, it's open heart surgery on a budget, complete with Lisa as a last minute assistant. We're diving into "Homer's Triple Bypass," an episode that somehow balances real stakes with absolute chaos. Is it funny? Is it touching? Is Dr. Nick legally allowed to do any of this? Let's find out. Be careful out there… and maybe skip the bacon.

Before Maggie, before Lisa, before Bart got dethroned as the baby of the family… there was Lisa's First Word.

This episode is a flashback masterpiece taking us back to 1983 for clown beds, the olympics, Krusty brand home pregnancy tests, and the moment Bart realized he was no longer the center of attention. Lisa makes her grand entrance, and somehow manages to say Bart before Bart learns how to share.

We're digging into sibling rivalry, '80s Springfield, and one of the sweetest Simpsons endings of all time. Grab your pacifier and press play. This one hits you right in the feels and the funny bone.

"Lisa, vampires are make-believe, just like elves, gremlins, and Eskimos…" But this Dracula? He's very real—and very extra.

We're sinking our teeth into Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), the operatic, oversexed, bat-faced fever dream that haunted Homer in "Treehouse of Horror IV." Gary Oldman goes full drama, Winona Ryder forgets how to emote, and Keanu fights valiantly against his own accent.

We dig into the costumes, the chaos, and why this film is both gorgeous and gloriously unhinged. It's blood, lust, and stage lighting—and we're absolutely here for it.

Press play and join us for a deep bite into gothic cinema, with a sprinkle of Springfield.

Released: 11/13/92

Directed By Francis Ford Coppola

Starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins

That name again is Mr. Plow… and this episode absolutely rules.

Homer gets a snowplow, starts a wildly successful business, and becomes a local legend until Barney shows up and goes full betrayal of the century. We're talking rival jingles, low-budget commercials, a Linda Ronstadt cameo, and one of the most quotable episodes in Simpsons history.

We dive into the chaos, the comedy, and why Mr. Plow still holds up after all these years. It's friendship, ego, and snowplows. What more could you want?

Press play and join us in Springfield. Just don't trust Barney with a truck.
