The Simpsons‘ annual “Treehouse of Horror” specials have become a celebrated tradition. For 29 years, the show has served up three Halloween-themed, non-canonical stories every October. However, in recent years, they haven’t been very good.

Still, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle continue to watch these specials. This week, they try to figure out why. They share their thoughts on this year’s special and the later years of the show in general.

They also discuss the new Star Wars trailer (which Lars refuses to watch).

This week’s music:

• Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
• End – “Halloween (Remix)” by The Coffinshakers
