In this episode the whole family is back together, again.  For this one they take a look at another one from Season 1, Life on the Fast Lane.  They discuss the importance of fostering relationships.  Cori is excited as she discusses a new vaccine, Brenden is fed up with the constant mention of one of the "listeners" to the podcast.  Bryan talks about the Thanksgiving update to the mobile game The Simpsons Tapped Out and Cailin is still worried about getting sued.  Hear the kids feel alienated as Bryan and Cori make mention to references that are well before their time, can any one say, CONNIE CHUNG!!!  Thanks for listening!

The Budnik-Scarupa Family is back from a wedding weekend several hours from home, Congratulations Rich and Amanda!  They try to shake off the effects of the travel as they take a look at one of their favorite episodes from Season 1: The Telltale Head.  Cailin sits this one out but, listen in as the rest of the family discusses how mob mentality rules Springfield, the role of religion in the show as well as a brief analysis of the cultural ramifications of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.  As always, a lot of fun discussions and witty banter between the group.  Thanks for listening and for your support!

In this episode we make a decision on the direction of the show.  Cailin is still worried that we are "going to get sued," Bryan talks about the Halloween update for The Simpsons Tapped Out.  Cori does a little more singing, and Brenden is being Brenden.  Hey Brenden, what is that Twitter handle again?  We also have some serious talk about anxiety and depression while discussing our newest episode, Moaning Lisa.  If you are dealing with anxiety or depression please know that you are not alone and that there are many resources out there that can help.  One such resource is https://feelingkindablue.org/ check it out for help and resources.

The whole family is back again, but they switch things up a little bit.  No Simpson's Tapped Out discussions this week so instead the kids play a game against each other and try to decide which Simpson's story lines are real and which ones are made up.  Hear about some of the family's celebrity listeners that they alienate them almost immediately.  Cherish the memories as they "Look at this photograph" with yet more singing all the while Cailin worries about getting sued.  Stick around as they breakdown The Simpson's family classic, There's No Disgrace Like Home, from Season 1.  Lastly weigh in on a potential new direction that the show may be heading in.  Could we be nearing the end of Season 1?  Brende sure hopes so!  As always thanks for listening!

With Halloween quickly upon us we decided to switch things up and go off script a bit.  For this episode we decided to jump ahead a bit to Season 2 and take a look at the first Treehouse of Horror episode.  We have a lot of fun on this one and have a hard time finding anything wrong with this episode.

Not only that but we welcome our friends from the Bogeyman's Closet, Mike, Suzie and Maurice to help us out.  Make sure to check out the links below to interact with them and to also check out their own podcast, The Bogeyman's Closet, where they have hilarious and frank discussion as well as reviews about all types of horror movies.  You can find them on iTunes, Google Play and most places you find your podcasts.

*A quick aside, the audio quality is a little different than what we are accustomed to as we ran in to some technical difficulties with so many people involved, but we had so much fun on this one that we wanted to post it anyways.  Enjoy!

Brenden couldn't join us for this one but listen to the rest of the gang keep the show on track as they breakdown Season 1 Episode 3: Homer's Odyssey.  Bryan discusses the Cathulu update on the mobile game The Simpsons Tapped Out while Cori gives some breaking news about a Trump-Nickelback throw-down.  Yes you read that right!  We get an update on the family's cat, Dean, more banter between the family, and oddly enough, more singing.  Join them as they breakdown the episode and have a lot of fun doing it!

The Budnik-Scarupa family is back with yet another episode.  This time they tackle the 2nd episode of Season 1: Bart the Genius.  Listen as they make connections to their time at school as they discuss the anxiety surrounding standardized tests.  Bryan gives his thoughts about the end of the Krusty's Last Gap update on the mobile game The Simpsons Tapped Out.  Cori discusses her top 5 TV show theme songs and expresses her concern over the family cat, Dean.  Brenden and Cailin debate Bart's apology and much, much more.  Thanks for giving us a listen!

In this first episode of So It's Come To This: A Simpson's Family Podcast, meet the Budnik Scarupa Family as they discuss the very first Simpson's episode released, way back in 1989.  Along the way listen to Bryan (the dad) talk about his love of the mobile game The Simpsons: Tapped Out, while Cori (the mom) looks for other things to talk about.  Listen to angsty teenager (Brenden) hate on everything Season 1 related but balance that out with the youngest (Cailin) and her optimistic attitude.  Hear the gang discuss whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie and whether or not time is wasted going to school pageants.  Stick around for their breakdown of the very first Simpsons episode and learn some little known facts about the show.  You'll leave feeling like everybody knows your name!

Meet the Budnik/Scarupa Family.  The Dad, Bryan, tells you where the idea for this podcast came from and how he first came to hear of this little show called The Simpsons way back in 1990.  The Mom, Cori, tells you about her love of nonsense and one ups Bryan as her interest goes all the way back to the Tracy Ulman Shorts.  The Son, Brenden (16 years old), or the "Crazy One" as he refers to himself, tells us how his love of The Simpsons goes back to The Simpsons Video Game on the PS2.  The Daughter, Cailin (12 years old), tells us that she is "kinda all over the place" and that she has been watching the show for as long as she can remember.  

Listen as they set the tone and the structure for the podcast going forward.  We learn more about this family unit and they discuss their favorite characters.  Hear how they enthusiastically start this path towards viewing and analyzing The Simpson's episodes, starting with episode 1.  There are over 700 episodes to look at so they hope to be at this for a while!
