The Simpsons Index

Lookit! The lovely fellas at @thesimpsonsindex.bsky.social invited me on to talk about a season 32 episode! Am I at all coherent? Listen and find out!

This week on the pod!
We are so stoked to be joined once again by @davidbcooper.bsky.social to help us review a future jump episode that tells the story of how Lisa got to be president, and the fight with Marge along the way.

Was I worried upon discovering that @thesimpsonsindex.bsky.social used me as a recurring foil called "the Wildcard," for my @avclub.com reviews? Sure.

But these lovely guys made me feel right at home as we talked about a truly forgettable late episode, my years reviewing "the bad years," and more.

We are so thrilled to be joined by @dennisperkins5.bsky.social on the podcast this week.

Longtime listeners of the Index know we've been mentioning his name for years & it turns out he's the loveliest guy! It was such a joy to chat to him about this ep & his time reviewing Simpsons professionally.

This week on the podcast; Adam & Nate from @simpsonsfilmpod.bsky.social join us to review "D'oh Canada", an episode filled with niche Canadian references that our humble guests do an excellent job of educating us Aussies about.

PS I forgot to include this

Between me & BT at least, I'm definitely the nice judge.

Thank you to all our amazing guests! You are all wonderful and have great taste in sandwiches 💚

Season 33 will go down as our 16th best season. Is the Simpsons back? No. It’ll never be back to classic era quality and anyone telling you otherwise is looking for clicks. But it has evolved & changed into a show that is at least better than it has been for a long time.

But the worst episode ever of 33 was the season finale “Poorhouse Rock” which is a musical about the fiscal cliff & class divide. An ill advised topic for the Simpsons to tackle and not even Hugh Jackman can save this episode from being a total cringe fest.

Also I feel like I should shout out “A Serious Flanders”. Look, we didn’t -love- it but a lot of people do & we certainly appreciate the ambition of the episode.

Honorable mentions go to “Pixelated & Afraid” where Marge & Homer get lost in the woods without their clothes. “Bart The Cool Kid” & “Girls Just Shauna Have Fun” both see the kids getting new friends & are pretty solid eps.

At equal 1st for our best ep of 33 is “Bart’s In Jail” where Grampa gets scammed out of money thinking he was helping get Bart out of jail. And “Lisa’s Belly” where Lisa & Marge work through body image issues. Both episodes bring big laughs & emotions and are well worth your time.

We have now finished reviewing Season 33 which scored an overall ranking of a Dull Bronze! This was the season that a lot of people would claim that “The Simpsons is BACK!”. Is that reputation justified? Let’s have a look… 🧵

This week on The Simpsons Index podcast; we are joined by Tommy Dassalo to help us review “Meat Is Murder”, an episode that starts out as a slight omage to The Founder and ends up being a very direct parody of Succession.

Was it successful? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

Brand new Index out now with our good friends Diana & Ash returning to help us review “Girls Just Shauna Have Fun” which is a sweet, but kinda flawed ep.

Hey listeners. I broke my computer a little bit. Bad news, no new podcast this week but the good news is that nothing has been lost and we’ll resume normal schedule next week.
Much love 💚💚

Ah that’s right! Here’s hoping they never make reference to any other short in the future 😅

I just discovered on a certain streaming service that people could leave comments and the contrast with these two has sent me

This is the week.

It’s finally happening.

You all aren’t ready.

Out now on the podcast! We are joined by Jamie & Drew from the Community Noticeboard podcast to review "Boyz N The Highlands" which is an episode that parodies "Get Duked", a film that none of us, and I'm assuming no one else has seen!
