King-Size Homer - Wikipedia

The Simpsons (always ahead of their time) explored remote work and "vibe coding" 30 years ago! What they discovered wasn't great. Homer's health suffered and he nearly caused a nuclear (noo-clee-ur) catastrophe.

I always thought it was Guy Pearce ( Memento, L.A. Confidential ) who played Agent Smith in The Matrix, but it was Hugo Weaving. Both were in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
