Talking Simpsons - The Way We Weren't
"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. Support this podcast and get over 200 ad-free bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron!

Talking Simpsons - Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song With Dan McCoy
"That photo was taken shortly before I was shot in the back; which was very strange, because it was during a Bob Hope show. I was trying to get Joey Heatherton to put on some pants, for god's sake!" - Seymour Skinner It's The Simpsons' 100th episode, and the show is finally giving people what they want: almost no Homer, and a complete study/reinvention of Seymour Skinner. Plus, the debut of Luigi, Baby Gerald, and Leopold! What more could you possibly want? (Outside of the yet-to-be-invented walking clock.)

Talking Simpsons - Simple Simpson with Matt McMuscles
"No trap can hold Homer Simpson—uh, but I'm not Homer Simpson! I'm the Pie Man! Homer Simpson, away! I mean, the Pie Man!" - Homer Simpson (The Pie Man) When Lisa is publicly humiliated, Homer transforms his love of pastries and violence into a new alter ego: Pie Man. But when Burns discovers this hero's secret identity, Homer becomes a tool for evil and a potential Dalai Lama assaulter. Come for the slight nod to Raimi's Spider-Man, stay for as many '60s Batman references a post 9/11 audience can stomach.
