Talking Simpsons - Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part One)
We've been waiting for this one since the show began, and it doesn't disappoint. Not only is this one of the funniest episodes, but the first half of Springfield's greatest mystery is one of the densest, full of clues and red herrings. We suss it all out and explain our wonder at how great it still is in this extra-long podcast!

Talking Simpsons - The PTA Disbands
After drinking plenty of Malk, we cover this classic episode, like it or lump it. Skinner and Edna are battling over a teacher's strike (purple monkey dishwasher) and all the kids are set free. We chat about all this with Super Best Friends' own Matt McMuscles as our special guest. Not listening to this podcast? That's a paddlin'.

Talking Simpsons - Lisa's Wedding
Zounds! We're headed to the far off future of 2010 to see Lisa (and the rest of Springfield) grow up in one of the funniest AND most heartwarming episodes ever. Bart is in construction, Burns got stabbed a bunch, and a bunch of celebrities are still at large. Join us in the cheap showiness of nature to reexamine and explain this classic with special guest Kat Bailey!

Talking Simpsons - A Star Is Burns
Boo-urns! It's time for the crossover that entertained millions and pissed off Matt Groening. We get into that, as well as some of the most meme-inspiring lines in Simpsons history, including quiet parts loud, footballs to groins, nonunion Mexican equivalents, and so much more. Just hook it to your veins!!!

Talking Simpsons - Homer Vs Patty And Selma
After blowing all his money on pumpkins, Homer is in desperate need to save his family and dear Rat Boy. So he turns to Patty and Selma for help, which somehow also involves Mel Brooks. Meanwhile, Bart does ballet in a plot that's wholly separate from Homer's problems, but is fun all the same on this week's podcast!

Talking Simpsons - Bart Vs. Australia
We head to the land down under for some giant beers, spoon against knives, and mucus-filled marsupials. Learn a ton about Australia in what is probably the best international trip the Simpsons have as they face a booting thanks to draining. Wanna go smell-- I mean, wanna go listen?
