Talking Simpsons - The Critic Pilot with Will Menaker


Listen Later

This week, we're taking a bit of a diversion to talk about the two-season also-ran created by former Simpsons showrunners, Al Jean and Mike Reiss. How did a live-action Krusty the Clown spin-off turn into a prime-time cartoon that mashed Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert together into one adorably pathetic, pug-ugly movie reviewer? Listen in as we explore the short-lived show that added "Hachi Machi!" to our vocabularies!

Our guest: Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House
