Eat My Shorts: A Simpsons Podcast

Irvin & Nacho return to the mics to review the sequel to Bart's Angry Dad comic. Is this episode better than I Am Furious (Yellow)? We discuss this question as well as Jay Leno, classic animation, Vanderpump Rules, Catwoman, & Love Island.

Note: This episode was recorded a while ago, so the Kickstarter campaign for Nacho's comic has already ended. But you can still buy Return of the Fleas at gracklestudio.com/shop!

Miggy joins Jessie & Nacho again to continue their series on the Tracey Ullman shorts. This week we discuss the second short in the series, which features both bizarre & familiar elements. Could Maggie be the secret key to the success of the entire Simpsons series? Why doesn't Marge knit anymore? We pose all these questions & more in today's bonus episode.

Nacho is making a comic book so he & Irvin review the episode where Bart makes a comic book based on Homer. It's a comics-heavy episode & a 2000s reference-heavy episode, & we also get into discussions of early Flash cartoons, Broom Hilda, & the Quiznos spongmonkey mascots.

From behind the Patreon paywall!

Welcome back to the Eat My Shorts Patreon exclusive series covering the Simpson beyond the episodes! This week Nacho welcomes Jessie & Miggy to discuss the very first Tracey Ullman Simpsons short "Good Night." We're taking you 35 years into the past this week, folks.

We also talk a little about Dan Castellaneta's Walter Matthau Homer voice, the DIY punk ethos of the Tracey Ullman era Simpsons, & Jessie recounts experiencing her worst Nightmare.

We've hit another milestone, Shorties! Can you believe this? Eat My Shorts turns 4 years old! What began 35 years ago as a TV show on Fox is now a podcast on the internet. Join us as we celebrate a lifetime of memories & reminisce about the very first Simpsons clip show episode. We also spend a little time talking about expired milk pranks, the possibility of covering some modern Simpsons episodes, & the most interesting place in The Simpsons house: The Rumpus Room!

This episode is up there. We know it, we love it, & in this episode we talk about it. Along the way we discover how many Simpsons memes come from this episode, reminisce about American Gladiators & other cancelled TV shows, & really take the starch out of AM radio.

We're back in the studio to talk about what some people consider to be the all time best Simpsons episode. Is this the all time best episode of Eat My Shorts?! You be the judge. 

We also get into some tangential subject matter, including unions, the Beatles, the Archie McPhee novelty shop, & how much we appreciate Lenny.

Did someone say long-lost triplets?! This week we cover a conceptually groundbreaking Simpsons episode that not only made The Simpsons a better show, but it made TV a better entertainment medium. We trust that our analysis of this episode will similarly advance the medium of podcasting.

If you’re unsure which episode of The Simpsons this is based on the title, it’s the one where Homer gets punched in the face & falls backwards over a fire hydrant. Fortunately, we cover all relevant plot points of both storylines in this episode, so DO NOT WORRY!

Eat My Shorts returns from its ritzy summer vacation to discuss a joke-packed season 4 laffstravaganza. We also talk about the Columbia House record club (which apparently still exists), L.A. cops, and Lou Reed ripping his face off.
