Talking Simpsons

Gamespot Reviews Editor Kallie Plagge returns for the most harrowing week in Marge's life. After a failed wedding, Becky moves in and Marge is certain she's a usurper. Were all the scary dramas of the '90s right in terrifying Marge of a young au pair? Or is Marge just certifiable? Find out in this week's exciting podcast!!

This week we're joined by fantastic artist and friend Nina Matsumoto, for a very special occasion worthy of breaking our chronological format! Back in November 2019, we all attended a Simpsons table read for this very episode of season 32, and now that it's finally aired a year later we're ready to reflect on it and see how it compares to the original script! Listen along for this Skinner and Chalmers adventure! Support this podcast and get dozens of bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron!

For our first ever Talking Futurama interview, we're talking to the great Eric Rogers, who acted as assistant to the writers for the first two production seasons, wrote of the "Terror at 500 Feet" segment of Anthology of Interest I, and returned for the Comedy Central reboot of Futurama as a regular writer of episodes.

Once more we've got Giant Bomb's Alex Navarro joining us, and this time it's for perhaps the weakest episode of season 11! Homer can't sleep, which leads him to an insomnia-induced freakout that brings him to Spring Break for some reason. After hanging out with Kid Rock of all awful people, the family randomly kills an alligator, and then more crazy things happen that would make this description even longer!

This week we welcome back Mike Drucker for an ominous episode that predicted the future of 2016 in 2000! But beyond the heinous predictions, this episode also gifted us with future Bart as one of the most realistic dirtbags to ever be seen on TV, as well as some pretty dated jokes about tribal gaming.
