Talking Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XV With Merritt K

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 • Duration 01:54:39

"Homer, please; don't tempt the gods! I mean GOD—there's one god! Only one. Well, sometimes there's three..." - Ned Flanders

Broadcast season 16 begins with three spooky tales that probably should have aired less than a week after Halloween. Ned Flanders receives deadly premonitions, Lisa becomes a Victorian-era detective, and the entire family takes a fantastic voyage into the withered body of Mr. Burns. All this, and two uses of the Perfect Strangers theme? Let the commencement begin-ulate!

Our guest: Merritt K from 1-900-HOTDOG

Syndication: The Sweetest Plum With Found Footage Fest

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 02:02:25

September 19, 1994: a day that will live in... Wait, what's the opposite of infamy? 31 years ago, the lives of Simpsons fans changed forever when their favorite show went from a weekly thing to a twice-daily thing thanks to the power of syndication. In this week's format-breaking podcast, we take a look at the programming package that made a certain era of The Simpsons a second language for TV-addicted latchkey kids.

Our guests: Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher from Found Footage Fest

Talking Simpsons - The Way We Weren't

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 01:53:59

"She was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen... Uh, until I met your mother—who made that girl look like a Godzilla made of garbage!" - Homer Simpson

In yet another canon-defying flashback episode, we head to summer camp, where many established characters somehow know each other despite their differing ages and backgrounds. As Homer and Marge weave their different takes on this tale of the past, it's revealed the two actually met as children in a series of convoluted events that mostly check out—unless you're an insane fan obsessed with continuity. But those people certainly wouldn't be listening to THIS podcast.

Talking Simpsons - Homer's Triple Bypass With Neil Campbell

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 02:27:51

Homer has a bad heart and we've got a great guest, writer Neil Campbell who cocreated the series Digman with Andy Sandberg (now streaming on Paramount Plus)! Neil talks us through the Simpsons ep he wrote in 2013, his longtime fandom of the show, and his thoughts on this freelance-written episode that balances the drama of Homer's near-death experiences with cops shooting at mummies & people with legs for arms. So grab your defibrillators for our discussion of this heart-stoppingly funny episode!
