Satire and Surprises in The Simpsons

We welcome back journalist Louis Peitzman to discuss the sequel to the last podcast he did with us, Like Father, Like Clown! This time around, Krusty deals with his religious background after reconnecting with his Rabbi father to plan an adult bar mitzvah. This somehow leads Homer to getting his own TV show that's a light parody of Bill Maher. How does this tie into a rushed ending with a lot of Mr. T in the first show of production season 15? Learn all about that as we discuss an ep that's Raymond rerun good!
