The Homer Of Seville (S19E02) · Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

0:03
Now listen, Homer. You can have me anytime you want me, m
0:07
Marge, but if you say one word to your wife, I'll tell her
0:09
you attacked me. What is it, sweetie? Everyone's wearing clothes in here.
0:16
What's nice? Forefinger discount dude, Welcome to four figure discount where.
0:37
This week we're going to be reviewing episode two of season nineteen. It is
0:40
the Homer of Seville. I believe it's called Seville. Owever it's pronounced.
0:43
I'm gonna say Seville. I'm Dando and I am Guy. Yes, And
0:48
I don't need to kick this episode off. I think maybe to give you
0:51
my thoughts on the to sum up my thoughts on this episode, I should
0:56
echo or pay tribute to someone that we love and respect here at four a
1:00
discount. Adam Sandler and his character from seven out Live Opera. Man,
1:03
I think it's only fitting. Yeah, want to love out of lock all,
1:08
Homo Saville, mut your suckle. This was not good. I watched
1:17
this three times, this episode, so I watch it once and then I
1:23
watch it again for notes, and I sort of skim through it before we
1:25
do our review, just so it's completely fresh in my mind. It's a
1:27
weird one because Carolyn Amine wrote this one right. Yes, we like Carolyn,
1:33
Yeah yeah, and normally I love for episodes. I think you need
1:34
to start watching it twice, like just watch it without taking because when you
1:38
find if you watch these ones and take notes at the same time, because
1:41
do you have a pause and take notes and things like that, I do
1:44
watch it first and just watch it, okay, and then do a note
1:47
run just for forfeiting dicap episodes at least because you know, South Bark's still
1:51
a top quality season. Nineteen Simpsons not so much. I recommend going forward
1:56
doing the double header because the double Header. The second time or third time
1:57
I watched it, I enjoyed it a lot more. Not great, but
2:02
I didn't dislike it as much. So I think I enjoyed is it Maya
2:07
Rudolph Maya Rudolph. I enjoyed her as Julie a lot more the second time.
2:13
I thought she was a really interesting character, but I think the story
2:15
needed to focus more on that because we again get a much annoyed at Homer
2:20
story and it's just the fighter you. I can understand why she would be
2:23
annoyed that Homer's flirt. Mother Girls and sort of not paying as much attention
2:25
to her because he's too busy with his fame. But it seemed to come
2:28
out of nowhere. It's just they go on their date and their margins like,
2:31
spend more time with me. I thought, you need to build up
2:34
to that more. It was just all of a sudden, he's got an
2:37
Entourage, and which I didn't mind. The Entourage parody, a show that
2:39
we don't really mention anymore because it's very pre me too, kind of yes,
2:45
yeah, yeah, and just home. It's the show I would enjoyed
2:49
it when I was in high school. And yeah, I looked back around
2:51
and go, yeah, I can see why I liked it in high school,
2:53
but five probably not. From what I recall of Entourage, it started
2:57
off pretty smart, I mean of an inside baseball look at how Hollywood operates.
3:01
Ari just became a parody of himself, and then it just became well,
3:06
the whole thing became a parody of itself. But really, I think
3:07
people, well certainly Marky Mark, who was the inspiration for the show,
3:14
and I guess one of the main drivers of it. I think you realized
3:16
people like seeing Bro's hand, why does he sound like Sylvester s that's on
3:21
me. You go and did the face your shirt off and then got back.
3:25
He's one up down the stairs, come back, come back. I'm
3:30
sure I could do a Markey Mark voice, but I want to mean,
3:32
let's just say, just do a John Sena impersonation. That's even harder,
3:36
is it. Well? He looks and sounds like John Cena, right,
3:38
know, they they look very similar to him and John Cena. I think
3:40
they went to the same I think they bought their hair from the same place.
3:45
But they listen to is Sena or Boston guy? Yeah, yeah,
3:47
listen to them both together and they sound exactly the same. Wow. Like
3:53
I mean, I've always got my unified theory of like there's only like six
3:57
faces in Hollywood and they just recycled them over various actors. Yeah. Yeah.
4:01
The only imitation I can do with Mark Wolburg is Andy Samberg doing Mark
4:04
Wolburg. It's like he got your goat. I love you, mother.
4:10
I don't know his name, but you see him very regularly as a d
4:14
A or a defendant. Fat John Cena. Do you know what I'm talking
4:17
about? Fat Sina. No, he's an actor. He was in the
4:19
Wire oh, I think, Yeah, I'm going to google fat John Cena
4:25
and see if it comes up. No, I was just going to give
4:27
you a bunch of fat John Sens. Delaney Williams. Do you know,
4:30
Delaney Williams. I do not google Delaney Williams. And I guarantee you know
4:34
when you see his face, always lost a lot of weight. Now he's
4:36
skinny John, He's normal, He's just he's just old John Cena. I
4:43
do see exactly what you mean. Though, he's gone full Roseanne. What's
4:48
his name? The lasmund good John Goodman. He's gone John Goodman. He's
4:51
lost all. It looks different. It looks weird now, doesn't his way
4:54
knights lost weight? It's like, oh, man, man, how dare
4:58
you get Alfie Rebel Wilson? Have you seen he look chick at fat Johnsen?
5:02
And now look at the fitty looks now it looks unbelievable. He looks
5:08
like actor James Remark. He looks from Dexter and other things. He looks
5:12
so good, well done, well done, Delaney Williams. Good for you,
5:15
Delaney Williams. Uh not good for you, Homer of Saville. I
5:18
know I should have watched it. Twice, maybe three times, like a
5:21
flag appel Dando, who's a glutton for punishment. I watched it and look,
5:26
this was just, to use the common parlance, this was a nothing
5:30
burger. There was the first thing, nothing to this. There was so
5:32
much of just it was almost so off. They went, hey, Dan,
5:35
do you want to showcase you can sing opera? And it was just
5:39
so much of it, and you think, none of this is just funny.
5:41
It's just Dan singing. Yes, absolutely, the whole bit in the
5:45
in the hospital, it's people, are you know, doing funny things?
5:47
You think they're funny things whilst he's singing, but it's like they're not all
5:50
that funny. Really, absolutely, and it's just philer Jane. Let me
5:55
ask you something. Are you familiar with the concept of a hat on a
5:58
hat. I've never heard that phrase. This is where you have a joke
6:01
and you add more to the joke just in case people don't get the joke,
6:05
So you put a hat on a hat, kind of like when they
6:09
point out, hey, it's guest star so and so yes, or where
6:13
you have say, Lenny and Carl in the back of the limousine, the
6:15
two opera groupies and it's like, well, you're not gonna get with Homer,
6:18
but you can get with me. And then they play Superman from Entourage,
6:21
just in case you didn't get that these were guys who were sort of
6:26
hangers on a lah An entourage. It's insulting to my intelligence. It's insulting
6:32
to everyone's intelligence. Just the idea of Lenny and Carl slipping with these old
6:36
women in the car is enough to meet me. Go, this is not
6:40
this is not cool. Look, there was a lot that was not cool
6:43
in this episode. Ah and listens to the show, will realize that I
6:48
am a person of generation ex and therefore I have a tolerance for just about
6:51
anything. In this episode, it's like the behavior of the family is boorish
6:58
and crass and terrible. Not just Homer, but oh I thought Bart was
7:02
horrific. That was terrible, making the kick give him money and things.
7:05
I thought, how you're making him despicable. Yes, this isn't him being
7:10
a brat. This is horrific. Notes actual words from guy's notes. Fuck
7:15
off Bart. Yeah, this is not in any way funny, And it's
7:18
not him putting a cherry bomb down the toilets at school. This is him
7:21
being an absolute prick. In the past, when any member of the Simpsons
7:27
family has behaved not despicably, but they've sort of kicked against the pricks and
7:32
they've done so, they've been punching up them and fighting. They've been fighting
7:35
the power. You know, if they behave badly the party, it is
7:39
usually the party thrown by mister Burns or something like that. Well, who's
7:43
not going to take advantage of she has the most money. Yeah, Or
7:46
if Marge does something silly or not even silly, but you know it sort
7:49
of behaves out a character by doing the thing with the Chanell's suit, for
7:54
instance, it's to get him good because you know she wants to get up
7:58
with a There's a spider on the line, Mike a phone. Can you
8:01
see that? I can, indeed, I'm it's an actual spider. There's
8:03
a d long see. I'm gonna have to film this on my phone because
8:05
the camera is I'm getting a new SD card because a week moment the kids
8:09
did, oh my god. All right, I'm filming this. You talk
8:13
guy. Okay, Yes, this is not a lie. We're not recording
8:16
this. We're not a video recording this episode. But I wish we had
8:20
because, yeah, Dan is about to go full Peter Parker. Here.
8:24
There is a genuine spider on my microphone. I'm gonna get photo. This
8:26
a selfie. It's not a it's not a big daddy long legs. It's
8:30
more like a baby short legs. But it's definitely of the daddy long legs
8:35
family. And it's climbing all over Dan. I'm gonna get a stafe with
8:39
this guy. Make me famous. Where is he? Where is he?
8:43
There? It is spier Mike, Spider Mike climbing all over the spider Mike
8:50
not a pig like in the Simpsons movie Crazy can't take them anything to rhyme
8:54
with movies. I was like, what is that near my nose? Oh
8:56
it's a spider. Oh god, yeah, that thing sometimes like, oh,
9:01
I've got a rogue hair. That's what I thought it was in my
9:03
line of vision. I went and I was like, that's it was not
9:05
attached to me. It's on the microphone. It's a spade, it's moving.
9:09
Is it a Debby long leg? I don't know. It is a
9:11
day long leg? Is it one of those like small but really venomous ones?
9:15
Are we getting Australia I don't think it is. I don't know,
9:18
but anyway, it's still here. Zach, good, last, pass me
9:22
that tissue. I'm going to oh and yeah, this is a good example
9:26
of Dando being kind a nice guy who will not kill a spider. I
9:31
said, hop on this tissue wrapper gently in tissue pairper. There you go.
9:35
I'll take him to the outside. I'll be back in a moment.
9:37
You kill the air, you feel the air? My god? Oh no,
9:43
Dan is telling me to vamp. I'm back. I just put him
9:46
one of the sound proof phone things on the wall. He did it in
9:48
the big Kebley. I told you, I don't kill spiders man proof.
9:54
It's very good to see you actually put your Buddhist theories into practice. But
10:01
what were we talking about here? We were talking about how the Simpsons when
10:05
they behave badly, they're usually doing it or the target of it is to
10:11
feel accepted or something to feel accepted, or it fits the character. Yeah,
10:16
they're not. They're never punching down. And I'm not a big fan
10:18
of like comedy should only punch it. But she never punched down. It's
10:20
like, I don't care if youre getting a laugh punch anyway. Man punch
10:24
by the belt exactly, not like how nothing bunny to getting punch the balls.
10:28
But but this way is like you just be mean. Well I mean
10:33
other, yes, you crashed a funeral. The minute you realize is leave.
10:37
Yeah, it's not hard, no, it just it felt weird that
10:41
they stuck away for a while. I mean they did leave pretty quickly,
10:46
but they did eat some food. But then it becomes the pall bearer and
10:48
everything and then fall us. But then Bart like burries home, and I'm
10:52
thinking, so Bart's purpose of this show now is to just be a prick
10:54
to everybody, be an absolute little monster. When he was a little monster
10:58
in the parts and we're like, oh yeah, little raps gallion. Yeah,
11:01
now you're bearing your father alive. Oh okay, okay, yes,
11:03
oh you're extorting a grieving child. Good for you. What a cower bunker.
11:11
But also I mean to go back. Sorry, I know we're sort
11:16
of skipping from place to place here, but like I said about the hat
11:18
on the hat thing before the whole thing about let's name funny restaurants, I
11:22
want to say one, how about you just show us? How about we
11:28
just see them? Was it last episode where mister Burns went the went to
11:31
the mall. We saw some of these shops had funny names. Crazy ets,
11:35
phone Home exactly, didn't didn't dwell on it too much, dwell dwelled
11:41
on it just enough. One might say, it almost feels like they're trying
11:43
to get credit for their funny names. It goes it's not just going to
11:46
be a blinking miss it. We're gonna have that character say it, Yeah,
11:50
acknowledge it. How good are these names? You know? How funny
11:52
are these Do you get it? My favorite favorite moments from the episode,
11:58
I'll go with mine first. I liked p Dingo's face of anticipation when he's
12:01
like, what do you think of my finger? I just saw his overall
12:03
just appearance was pretty funny. I like Placido Domingo in this pretty much.
12:09
He was going to take the mickey out of himself, And I'm wondering if
12:11
that's the reason for this episode we were able to get Placid feels that way,
12:15
doesn't it, Yeah, because I can't see any other reason for this
12:18
thing you mentioned. You know Dan c having a lovely singing voice. This
12:22
is a nice showcase for that, But why Opera? I think someone in
12:26
Placido Domingo's office, Paul Evan said, Hello, Simpsons, keep going.
12:33
That was he's a good digger, by which I mean he's digging himself into
12:39
a whole Placido Domingo huge. His kids are a huge fan of His grandkids
12:43
are a huge fan of. He'd love to be on. Oh, okay,
12:46
how can we work this d thing? How can we working into it?
12:50
And then, because I feel like the Julia's story could have really applied
12:52
to any profession very much. It didn't have to be an opera based story.
12:56
I know she's the tries to kill it in him by being the what
13:00
are they called conductor? But I wrote conductor? But then Marge says,
13:05
what they're actually starts of? M what are they called? Maestro? Yes,
13:09
I think that's a sort of a catchull. Oh, actually no,
13:13
it might be just a conductor. Because there was the recent film on Netflix
13:16
called Maestro Seinfelder The Maestro. Well, that's true, and it's about the
13:20
great Leonda Bernstein was mainly known as a conductor, but he was also a
13:24
composer of music and a whole bunch of other stuff. So I know,
13:26
maybe maestro just does apply to conductors. Maybe I'd love to be called the
13:31
maestro. It's good. It's even just a good nickname. Maestro means you're
13:33
the best. Yeah, that's what it means for me anyway. Yeah,
13:35
I thought I calling you maestro. I thought the scene where Julia took her
13:39
close off at the start, what was she first? I thought it was
13:41
pretty funny time's reaction. Everyone's wearing clothes in here, except it then took
13:48
it took a really weak, kinky chain, unpleasant term for we're just the
13:52
whole. If you tell Marge about this, I'll say your attack me Like,
13:54
I don't know if you want to be saying that kind of thing,
13:56
and this particular two thousand and seven time. Yeah, it feels you wouldn't
14:03
do this in a post me too well where you sort of cause it makes
14:05
it almost seems like you're politically. People who are actual victims absolutely love assault,
14:09
you know, so I think you do it now. I have not
14:11
watched the current Netflix Sensation Netflix Front of the Pod. Uh we canceled.
14:16
Okay, so you have not, or you would not. Apparently the big
14:22
thing on Netflix at the moment is called Baby Reindeer, a UK stand up
14:28
comedian slash performance artist took his mind his depths of personal trauma to tell a
14:35
story about stalking, about sexual abuse, all this kind of stuff. Apparently
14:39
a big hit. That's what the people are into these days. He's called
14:41
Baby Reindeer or the Special. It's the nickname given to him by his stalker.
14:46
Oh okay. The show is also called Baby Reindeer, and it's a
14:50
stand up No, no, it's he's a stand up comedian, I think,
14:52
and he's being stalked in the show. Yes, okay. And I
14:56
think he had a one man show that was called Baby Raindeer and he's turned
14:58
it into this drama for Netflix that's apparently very very popular. If you know
15:01
about Baby Reindeer, I have yet to watch it. Lovely Luise watched it
15:05
without me. Oh that could happen. No, no, that's fine.
15:09
There's a lot of stuff that we will not watch. So do you ask
15:13
first? Well, I think I've said this on the show on the past.
15:16
I watched the first episode of The Bear, and I'm like, I
15:18
can watch more of this, but I take a lu said and watching it.
15:20
I watch the first of the show called The Bear. I think it's
15:22
really good. I think you and I should watch it the other cool,
15:26
so I didn't watch anymore. She, on the other hand, watch all
15:28
the Baby Randy. It's okay by me because I was say I'll get to
15:33
this when I get to this. She's not watching Showgun. I want to
15:35
watch all the Showgun Shogun really good. She is not watching eight movies.
15:37
That is good. I watched the other one last night. Yeah, escape
15:41
from Planet. As the Apes came to they came to our planet. They
15:48
came back in time you madiacs. I was gonna have I was gonna put
15:52
this on Facebook Twitter. It really is like one of the best lines from
15:54
The Simpsons. Wait a minute, Dan, delivery that whole I don't care
16:00
away we go as long as don't send us that terrible planet of the APPEs.
16:03
Wait a minute, statue Liberty. That was our planet. I love
16:07
it so much, and it just this, this is over and comes down
16:12
Barni's passed out. It's talk about that episode rather than this one. I
16:19
also didn't mind Homer's explanation of I can only sing love songs when thinking of
16:23
you, so they're technically our groupies. I like him when Home is actually
16:27
able to talk his way out of something because he's not doing anything technically wrong
16:33
here. No, that's correct. I mean he wouldn't like it. He's
16:36
reveling the attention. Yeah, a bit too much, too much, Yeah,
16:38
especially in front of Marge. But anyway, yeah, I didn't mind
16:41
that. Did you have any moments that you enjoyed? I like, I
16:44
like, just call me Pete Dingo, and I thought said Placido Domingo.
16:48
Look, I may be mispronouncing this this great singer's name, but I like
16:52
the way he conducted himself. And I did like at the end when Chief
16:56
Wigan was like t shirt that one get away Hagleyachi or too bad madam?
17:03
Butterface what I had? Two? I've been in that situation. Did no
17:10
one get these great singers? I actually don't mind when he says take the
17:14
shot they are firing, and the says one cop. He just puts his
17:15
arm with a hand gun over. Next question, you there eating the paste
17:22
all right, Trivia? My first question for you is what food does Homer
17:27
take one last off before they leave the funeral? Oh? Does he actually
17:32
name it? Yeah? Just one more and then they leave and then he
17:34
gets asked for being the pall bearer. It's a minikeiche, a mini caiche.
17:38
Okay, they're my favorite party food. Mini caiches. I don't necessarily,
17:42
I don't think i've I can't recall the last one. I had a
17:45
big slice of a caiche, but manikishas that is fit in your mouth and
17:48
the delicious. You're not wrong. When's the last time you were at an
17:53
event that had all rbs or finger food? U would have been a wedding
18:00
about a month ago, okay, but they had finger food finger food wedding.
18:03
It wasn't like a sit down wedding. Okay. I don't know if
18:07
you've been to any events recently where it's finger food. But I'm going to
18:11
need both hands for this ship. Like it's like say a little box of
18:14
fish and chips or something with like a fish nugget three chips. It's like,
18:18
I'm going to need both hands for this ship. Yeah. I like,
18:22
just it has to be on a stick, a stick on a stick
18:25
or can fit in my mouth. Yeah. Yeah. They start bringing around
18:27
mini sliders like it's it's not quite a burger, but this need two hands
18:33
there, It's like it's weird. Yeah, yeah, I can't hold it
18:36
between two fingers. I have to hold it between yeah, and you feel
18:38
like the claw. Yeah, and I'm going to need napkins for this ship.
18:44
When you say the claw, what's your instant thought process? What do
18:47
you think of when you hit Okay? Now, so I know that you're
18:48
probably thinking of lie a lie. Yeah, yeah, you're thinking it is
18:52
one of the scenes that I remember. It's some one of my favorite Jim
18:57
Carry movies. It's fine, it's pretty good. It's sort of forgotten,
19:00
but I've always loved it. Yeah, it's one of his biggest hits though
19:02
apparently. I mean it feels like, oh, this is like Jim Carrey
19:06
not at the peak of his powers, but like people went just to see
19:08
the Blooper real. Yeah, people, Jim just gonna go. I always
19:14
felt so bad for Carry. Was when he was trying to do the Claw,
19:18
the Claw losing one hand. Yeah, sorry, Like, oh man,
19:22
you're trying so hard. Yeah, but he played that role really well.
19:26
He did. Yeah. When I think of the Claw, this is
19:29
the generation gap between Dan and I. There was a car There's also actually
19:33
pretty racist in hand tight on Get Smart. Did you ever see this?
19:37
There was like he was an Asian crime crime boss and called the claw.
19:44
Was he called the craw? But it was not the craw, the craw?
19:47
I said, that ship. This is this is how we rolled back
19:49
in the seventies. Also, I'm pretty sure the guy playing the claw was
19:53
not Asian. Then ask that question because he said it was racist. I
19:56
was like, did they call him the craw instead? Yeah? And well
19:59
they that was the thing. And you know, you'd have kids around the
20:00
school yard go, not that kraw, that claw. Holy shit. I
20:06
wonder why the world's in the state because we're running folks all the time.
20:11
Time to be allowed and racist. Anyway, your first question, my first
20:15
question to you is we talked about the kid getting extorted for ten bucks every
20:19
month. What was the kid's name? Donnie? It was Donnie Donnie.
20:23
Yeah, don't do what Donnie don't does? Who uses their opera glasses with
20:26
thermal vision? Oh? Another d name? She maybe have to see the
20:33
wizard. Oh Dorothy Dorothy. Hey, thanks for that man. And she
20:38
was voiced clearly by Maggie Roswald Roswell. Yeah, we're gonna say Maggie on
20:44
it. That's not the name memory Blake for a second. It's good that
20:48
we were here to help each other though, because I mean, you can't
20:51
see this, but this is me in the watergar help me, help me,
20:53
and Dano threw me a lifeguard, threw me the life what do you
20:56
call those things? The life ring thing, the doughnut. Yeah. And
21:00
then as I was he matally called a life saver, the maybe a little
21:03
sweet treats will be But as I was pulling him in, I then fell
21:07
in and then he had to put me out. Mutually assured salvation as opposed
21:11
to distraction. It's great. What was Moe's snack at the opera? Lamb
21:17
chop? It was a lamb chop wrapped in file correct, Hey, was
21:18
I meant to Did you ask me a question? No, I asked you
21:22
Dorothy one. That's right. Yeah, and that's my turn. Okay,
21:25
yeah, you did it right. You didn't do anything wrong. But what
21:27
did my whole live to hear that? My final question is also food based.
21:32
What does Marge go to cook or go to make before she text closed
21:37
off checks mix pie? What is this? That's a good question because yesterday
21:41
we recorded an episode of Speaking of the Hill, which it didn't see center
21:45
around freeto pie, but we did a bit of a deep dive into Freedi
21:48
Pie to find out what it was like. It was basically Nacho's as a
21:52
pie. What is checks mix made of? Check Chex mixes like a sweet
21:56
cereals cereals, Yeah, chips have breadsticks, pretzels, nuts or baked sof
22:00
the mix, you know those things. So it's a pie. That's just
22:03
basically what you put it in a crust and then you probably pull like some
22:07
molten chocolate apple. So it's just like that basically. You can you see
22:10
it gives a look at that? So yeah, oh damn, that looks
22:12
Notice it's just yeah, that stuff in pie. I can get off all
22:17
on that action. I may ask you one more question. This is only
22:21
this doesn't require your knowledge of the episode. Got a little broader pleas you
22:26
do. Domingo is one of the three tenors as mentioned in this episode.
22:29
Can you name the other two? No idea, I got him now that
22:33
guy. They are Luciano Pavarotti and Roddy one of them. Yeah, all
22:48
right, well now it is time for oh yeah, look I want This
22:53
episode has not been great. Well, actually no, this episode of four
22:56
Thingscan has been great. This episode since it's not great, but even the
23:00
best part of this episode talking about stone Cutters exactly right. So starting with
23:03

our legitimate friend of the pot as opposed to people I'm just trying to
23:29
get money out of it, is currently in depand he wrote a really cool
23:32
rollercoaster at the base of Mount Fuji. Apparently he did real life Mario Kart
23:37
as well off for real through I'm pretty sure it was through Tokyo. They
23:41
have they have like a strip in the middle of the streets that you ride
23:44

23:47

25:32
Breda breaded chicken system, all right. The original edit of The Homer of
25:41
Seville was I believe in December. No, it was in September, September
25:47
thirtieth, two thousand and seven. It was written by the Lovely Lady Caroline
25:49
Emine and directed by Mike Frank Polsino, the Chopboy Gate, the Walls Wall
25:56
Street Journal is better than ever. I don't know, it's something about that
26:00
gag just sort of sat wrong with me. It felt too you like the
26:03
Wall Street Journal. No, No, it just felt like Inside Baseball,
26:06
because I mean, I'm pretty sure that Wall Street Journals is part of Murdoch's
26:10
publishing empire. No, but he's he's basically saying that it's not Oh yeah,
26:15
but to me trying to say that he shouldn't be saying that it's not
26:18
that. Actually, it just feels like it feels like, as we said
26:22
yesterday doing one of the other podcasts, it was kind of like a like
26:26
Leo pointing. You'd say to his next someone, you'd say to the person
26:32
next one the I think they have another shadowed mood. How can they say
26:36
that? Yeah, I guess I don't know. I think I think this
26:40
episode just put me in a bit. I think I'm just taking shots at
26:44
this episode for no reason. The cash gag was the one that had before
26:47
from Home a Razzi, the really long evolution one which means we were short
26:49
on time. But instead of Homer homage saying something like what took you so
26:53
long? Ex elements Do you get the milk? Did you bring the milk?
26:56
Yeah, which I think doesn't work as well as what took you so
26:59
long? Or did you bring your milk? I don't know. But the
27:02
episode kicks off at the church. I didn't mind the sign here the real
27:06
American Jesus, the real American idol. And it's over. So they all
27:10
rush out of the car park. I wants to be the first one out.
27:12
He was so bored of church, and he did a whole book of
27:15
finder words. I and A were their words. Margin reads out the names
27:19
of the store. So we had gridlot on the roof. Thank god,
27:22
it's fried eggs, luft Waffles, Bodacious Fratatas, buffet, the Hunger Slave,
27:26
which I thought was pretty good. That's not bad. I also like
27:29
botacious forra tatas. And Homer wanted to say one and he just gets Denny's.
27:33
Then everywhere has a really long line there to decide. Look, we're
27:36
going to go home and cook, because you know, Marge's the cook.
27:37
She cooks all the food for us, and she says she doesn't want to
27:41
cook. She refuses, and they see this starving teachers catering, taking food
27:44
into somewhere. So Marge breaks into this house. Turns out it's a funeral
27:48
though, and as we're saying, you think you'd probably leave, just put
27:53
on your sad faces, you would leave. I'm trying to workshop brainstorm ways
28:02
in which they could make the mistake, like it's one of those fancy open
28:06
houses. And the whole point of this was to have have Homer get a
28:08
saw back it was a long wind away from home and hurt his back.
28:12
Yeah, a whole bunch of stuff happens, and Homer hurts his back,
28:17
and then the story and then the story begins. And we've had plenty since
28:19
the dawn of time of the Simpsons, they've had this where a bunch of
28:22
stuff happens, but usually a bunch of stuff happening is funny. Yeah,
28:25
and this was not. What's funny. It's when you see Bart do the
28:30
thing to Donnie. It put me in a bad mood. It really takes
28:33
you out of watching the show, sort of takes you out of the moment.
28:36
Don't you think you think that's so horrible? Yeah, I think the
28:41
fact that there's oh, you realize you've crashed a few and I was like,
28:45
I don't know, guys, think you might have you know, stepped
28:47
in the big pilot shit here. Yeah, something needs to happen. They
28:52
should have had the pall Bearer thing happened like straight away, would not have
28:53
them sort of take advantage of the food, have them try to leave and
28:56
then the family just needs them there for a reason. Yeah, exactly,
29:00
they can't leave it. But the minute starts extorting money from the kid,
29:03
it's like, sorry, I missed my pop pop. I miss him too.
29:10
What's your name? Donnie? Your Donnie pop up said that after he
29:15
died, you should give me ten bucks a week starting now. Okay,
29:22
listen, I'm out of town next week. So Homer thought she said.
29:27
Polar Bear, which is why agrees to be a Paul Bearer, falls into
29:30
the open grave and Bart decides to just bury him because why not? Because
29:34
why not? And that's the first act of this episode done. I got
29:41
sort of a little bit of a chuckle out of what if the Homer says
29:44
something, Well, the tragedy has a stalked this family never sees because her
29:47
brother rolled his ankle. Let's just wake up be a Paul Bearer. Yeah,
29:49
I went at the hospital. Homer has a backsprain and he ingested a
29:52
lot of grave dirt. He lays him down and it only take a minute
29:56
because a thousand dollars. I always enjoy those on the game because the house
30:00
system is just a lot of rat But man, it's very expansive. You've
30:03
experienced, I mean you've had you've had kids to take care of, but
30:07
I mean primarily with the lovely Jet. Yeah, we've spent less on Jet
30:11
in the last twelve months, so basically I've taken Jet to this Michael Ball
30:15
vet, the guy I mentioned all the time, Michael Bell. We like
30:17
this guy. Corus me ten dollars every month to get Jet sorted out,
30:19
gets tablets, blah blah blah. Those tablets are get one hundred for ten
30:22
dollars. Those tablets at the vet. You get ten tablets for ninety dollars.
30:27
To use a phrase that's being banned, the math ain't mathing the exact
30:30
same tablets. Going on the exact same tablets. You should take only a
30:34
minute and cost about one thousand dollars. No, it doesn't sound like Homer's
30:40
usual annoyed grunt. Go oh fascinating. When Homer is on his back.
30:48
His stomach loud is perfectly under his diaphragm, giving him a powerful singing voice.
30:52
Is that a real thing? It is? Tenor Andrea Pacelley recorded an
30:56
entire song on his back. We discussing this, I believe, off the
31:00
air before we started recording. That actually was something that Butchali did. We
31:03
wanted to find out this was bullshit or not. So Lisa claims that the
31:06
Tender and Andrea Chlli recorded an entire song in his back. But Clli apparently
31:11
did record one track on his Amoure album on his back and demonstrated this technique
31:15
on an episode of American Idol. Apparently it is a thing, But learning
31:21
to paint whilst laying you back apparently not. Spoiler Yeah right, So the
31:26
revealed here that he is a good singer. Everyone loves the singing. Apparently
31:30
everyone loves the singing because they devote a whole lot of the episode to it.
31:33
The next few minutes, at least, Bed goes up, Bed goes
31:34
down, his voice changes, and Hibbitt then sings along with him during surgery.
31:40
But I did mind burd shopping in the morgue for parts. I thought
31:41
that was fine. It's good. It's that's a good idea. That's a
31:45
good idea. Burns buys the motorcyclist mustache and things like that. And your
31:51
money, that all the money you contributed to the anti hammet laws are starting
31:53
to payoff because young people are his future. Then they hear Homer and they
31:57
head to the Betty and Herbert Weinstein Winstein, whatever's pavilion? Do are these
32:01
people? I was, I did my research, he Weinstein, you go.
32:09
I looked on I did my research. We Jamaine looked on Wikipedia,
32:13
and they didn't mention it. So I don't know. I'm just looking up
32:15
here, Herbert Weins. It's definitely be a true chronic. The book opens
32:17
with the Herbert Weinstein murder case. Okay, so let's look up Herbert Weinstein.
32:22
The brain on the stand, mister Weinstein cyst So, mister winsteinsists.
32:27
When historians of the future tried to identify the moment that neuroscience began to transform
32:30
the American legal system, they may point to a little noticed case from the
32:34
early nineteen nineties. The case involved Herbert Weinstein, a sixty five year old
32:38
ad executive. He was charged with strangling his wife, Barbara to death.
32:42
And then, in an effort to make the murder look like a suicide,
32:45
throwing her body at the window of their twelfth floor apartment on East seventy second
32:49
Street in Manhattan. Before the trial began, Weinstein's lawyer suggested that his clients
32:52
should not be held responsible for his actions because of mental defect, namely an
32:55
abnormal cyst nestled in his erachnoid membrane, which surrounds the brain like a by
33:00
the website claiming insanity basically to get him off. Yes, that's where it
33:02
began. Finally, how they talk about the spider tumor and we just had
33:07
a spider on the on the microphone. We did not plan that. It
33:10
was scary times. It was the scary time. Doesn't burns, say Betty,
33:15
and he does, say Betty. I said not, Barbara. Yeah,
33:16
so Betty and Betty Weinstein. LO'SOK at Bettie. I was just so
33:20
confused. I'm really confused. Fifteen Betty Winstein's stock photos and high rais pictures.
33:24
Whatever, Betty, We're starting getting way too much time to hop it,
33:28
Betty. Once, look, we had a fun true crime detour.
33:32
Yeah, for a minute, learning about herd Weinstein. Yeah, and His
33:36
and His Spider Brain. Betty offered us so much if true crime is apparently
33:39
a bit of a cash cow, if you'd like us to do a true
33:42
crime podcast as part of the four Finger Discant their work experience. Let us
33:45
know, I want to do a true crime podcast. But it's who shot
33:47
mister Burns and we create a new It's not Maggie, it's actually somebody else.
33:52
The listeners have to try and guess who it is. Oh, okay,
33:53
then we sort of manufacture clues and stuff like that, right, and
33:57
we'll do it in the vein of like cereal. Yes, going to be
34:00
actually somebody different. Yeah. Wow, it's full of interesting ideas but not
34:08
but yeah, so they're singing along, everyone's having a great time. Burns
34:10
offers him a role, the lead role in is It lab? Ahem,
34:15
Yeah, you've just reminded me of one of my It's a good bit from
34:22
the movie Trading Places, which I'm assuming you have seen, where Dan Aykroyd's
34:28
his blue blood socialize type has been taken into He's been framed for drug dealing,
34:34
gone to the worst police precinct in Philadelphia. Frank Oz is the cop.
34:38
Is he who busts, who's admitting him going through his pockets two tickets
34:45
to the opera. Beau him and Dan Loom it's an opera. Frank Oz
34:53
just gives the bet it's an opera. I remember trading places for Jimmy.
35:01
I was like, I told that at a pivotal time in my sort of
35:04
like you know, pubescent development, like hot. I remember seeing that hiring
35:07
not expecting that, you know, I just if you think you go to
35:10
get you know, sometimes with Dan and Eddie, I was just like,
35:14
you know, twelve thirty, I was like, oh ship hot, damn
35:19
looking good, Billy Ray feeling good. Lewis trade places. We should do
35:23
it on the movie. Let's do it. Yeah, but I did.
35:27
I didn't mind. Here. So he's performing at what looks like sit in
35:29
the opera house. Yes, Now, was this the hole that they built
35:34
with the like a while ago? No? No, no, what was
35:37
it next? Because it was next to something? What was it? What
35:39
there was the building that was next to because you know, we should but
35:42
didn't they build something for an opera? And they and they did the syfy
35:45
and they said we've already had the good bit and that we're all going to
35:46
leave, and they had no idea what to do with it, and they
35:49
turned it into the prison. Prison turned into the prison. Yeah, I
35:52
don't know. I remember it's the same building or not, but canon anymore,
35:54
I think that. I think it just comes. I knew what he's
35:57
just out the window. The opera begins. Lenny and car there watching from
36:00
terrible seas. Apparently that's a Citizen King reference. I don't. I've never
36:04
seen it. Citizen Kane. Can you believe it? I can believe it.
36:07
I mean not because of you, but because you know. It's just
36:09
I mean, it's more movie that gets name checked these days. Castle blank
36:14
is the long one. No, I don't think Citizen Kane is three hours,
36:17
and it's probably closer to two. Okay, Castle Blankers. I mean
36:21
here's the thing about Castle Blanker as well. You shouldn't have got missed that
36:29
it's gonna be a stuffy your classic class to make a moves. It's just
36:31
a good it's just a good melodrama. Yeah, I mean, Catalina is
36:36
enjoyable at any age. Great movie, fantastic love Castle. I was Gone
36:40
with the Wind. That's really long. It's Gone with the Wind is very
36:43
like that's the what I'm thinking of that, I know it's one of the
36:44
classics. Oh, you're going on the winds something like three and a bit
36:47
hours. It's like the Avengers. I don't give a damn, right,
36:51
Frankly, Mada, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, you say fuck,
36:55
but I just I just don't know that was the equivalent of funk when
36:58
that film was made, though, Right, but I'm pretty sure that people
37:00
back in the now Clark Gable you you can't you? Oh my hut the
37:06
vapors. I didn't mind though, when he were singing that he pushes the
37:10
Mimi out of the bed and he's now a star, an opera star.
37:16
No, we come up from commercial to the family. We're all proud of
37:20
him. He says. This is going to make up for me being drunk
37:22
at the family. Our father daughter dance. I can't change your future because
37:25
you know he's a bad father. Well, that person, I think is
37:29
Next week we get a little montage here of them hanging up the Homer banner
37:32
and they make it so down and this elephant bit. I was like,
37:37
that was such a filler. Yeah, what's the point of it? Are
37:39
we pulling the whole cast No, it's one person. One person. That's
37:45
it. That's it. That's okay. Having said that, if that gag
37:53
had been in a Golden Age episode, I mean, it's not necessarily obvious
37:59
is a Golden Age gag? But is this something you forgive if it was
38:02
in a better episode? Man, I don't think so, because I'm usually
38:06
the one that's trying to find the positives. I don't what it was.
38:07
It was just when he goes just one person and it went for like fifteen
38:10
seconds. This this is old on nothing, even with the extended couch gag.
38:16
Yeah, it felt like there was a lot of padding and a lot
38:19
of streut. Three to five minutes of just nothing in this episode, when
38:23
you can include the couch gag and the elephant scene and things like that.
38:27
Singing in the hospital, seeing the hospital was just there was a lot of
38:29
it. Yeah, I was now singing at the hockey breaks the glass and
38:31
they break out the penalty box. Now, is that because they had fire
38:36
on their feet when they flew off? Was they meant to be a reference
38:37
to, Like, I didn't say that. So when they when they said
38:40
we're free and they break out the penalty box and there's fire on their feet.
38:44
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they're just meant to be
38:45
like demonic Placido Domingo. Is his name, Domingo Domingo. I think I
38:52
think it might be placid Pete didn't go Yeah, why not? He likes
38:54
it. I just really enjoyed when he does his He he's a note.
39:00
He's like waiting for Homer's praise, and Homer doesn't give it to him,
39:02
of course, But I just I thought he was a good sport. I
39:06
know this predates crazy stupid love, which we talked about on the movie Guys,
39:09
But I was expecting pe Dingo to sort of do a Ryan Gosling in
39:14
the changing room kind of thing where he just sort of struts aroundside confident in
39:16
masculinity, doesn't even need a towel. Yeah, and that home is a
39:20
little bit intimidated by it. Eh missed opportunity, perhaps nice, said Homer.
39:25
That was a hot one. Well, praise from Placy Doldmingo. Just
39:31
call me pe Dingle. Hey, I'll think about it. You know,
39:37
Homer, there is one thing about opera that has always bugged me. Everyone
39:40
sings instead of talking. But you made me believe I was in a magical
39:46
world. We're singing East talking danks. You know about three tenors. You're
39:52
my second favorite. Yeah wait, they forgot about that other guy? Sorry
39:57
your third. Waitma, before you go, there's a new old type.
40:01
Been working on telling me what you think? Hmm, what if you give
40:15
it a little more disflavor like the Cape Reaching for the starts kid now out
40:28
for dinner for Marge with Marge for the anniversary and Lennie and Carlberz the Entourage.
40:34
She asked him to dressed in Entourage style as well. I mean,
40:37
this was one of the biggest shows in the world at the time, so
40:39
I can understand why this would have This would have been on the ads for
40:43
sure, because oh yeah, everyone was talking about Entourage that point. What's
40:46
his name that Jeremy Piven, Harry Gold. Yeah, but Jeremy Piven played
40:50
the role like he was so perfectly suited for that role. He really was
40:52
really star making that. I mean Pivet had been maybe supporting parts. Yeah,
40:57
he was that guy. Yeah, he's good friend the John k X
41:00
and I think it appeared in a lot of Cusax movies, but I had
41:02
a few, if not starring, I think he's the star of Movilled PCU,
41:07
which is apparently a bit of a cult classic now, like a sort
41:10
of mid nineties animal house style college comedy and a few other things. But
41:15
yeah, he I think he recognized, oh, this is an opportunity for
41:19
me to really go somewhere. Brought himself some new hair because he had a
41:22
very obvious receiving hairline before that doesn't entourage worked out a little bit. He's
41:27
like, yeah, I'm going for it, and he really went for it.
41:29
But I think he sort of doug his own grave in away because now
41:31
he's just Ari Gold. Yeah. Yeah, And I think a lot of
41:34
people found it maybe difficult to separate the character from the actor. It reminds
41:39
me of kind of Tony Starkish, just without the intelligence when it comes to
41:44
science and things like that, just that arrogance but reject shop Tony Stark.
41:49
Yeah perhaps, Yeah, it's like we couldn't afford our DJ. Jeremy Pivens
41:53
is doing a pretty good job. But he's about twenty thirty percent Laura in
41:58
the charisma scale. He'd be like the TV TV I man very much.
42:02
So, yeah, look all you respect to Jeremy Piven, who I think
42:05
is a fine actor. Did a fantastic job on a Rush. Yeah yeah,
42:08
I mean that show was just made. That show was famous because of
42:12
him. I reckon. I mean he had the main stars, but like
42:15
he he made the show. Oh yeah, very much. For a while
42:17
there, it was almost like every team wanted to be Ari Gold. They
42:22
wanted to live Vicarasy through. I'm going to be a successful manager and an
42:24
agent. I'm going to be a Wall Street ball And then the Wolf of
42:28
Wall Street came in and I was like, that's going to be me,
42:30
and they had their posters on the wall. There was a guy at our
42:31
old workplace who had the poster of the guy from Wolf of Wall Street on
42:36
his wall in his office, and I was like, dude, dude,
42:37
what like he had the poster of Leo was Georgia Yeah yeah, oh okay,
42:42
yeah, but I'm like still with like quotes underneath it. And I
42:44
was like, oh no, And was this person he was like twenty two
42:49
twenty three Okay, So they were a bit naive. And I was about
42:52
to say, are they smart enough to sort of ironically just say he was
42:53
friends with the right people and he got himself an office. I think you
42:57
know what you're talking about. Next, of all times, marks off good
43:02
idea, have ned Yes, we never turn you to the home clip.
43:10
You don't want to put a clip. I want you to stop flirting with
43:15
women, No problem, sir. May I say I thoroughly enjoyed your performance,
43:21
And may I say that I'm enjoying the calm waters of your deep blue
43:24
eyes. Oh well, what that's how guys talk. You are out of
43:35
control the late nights, the evening, You've actually going your cape. M
43:42
I miss her a long time. I miss you, need you help,
43:50
BA want us to take Marge shopping. You guys, go on, We're
43:53
gonna walk home, great college walk. It's the best. I really want
44:00
to hook up with Homer. Now we both know that ain't gonna happen.
44:04
But I'm right here. The Limo rock and just sort of went. I'm
44:09
not too sure about that, but they get rescued, as I said,
44:12
from the crazy fans and us. Julia. They invited her in for coffee,
44:15
and she suggests that she gets hired as the president of Harmer's fan club
44:19
because she can keep the crazies and check Marge gree She it's a good idea.
44:22
I did like home as sort of general chit chat. You see a
44:24
part where our foot lines and I say, oh, spaghetti's and no one
44:27
really knew, and then she just takes her clothes off and threatens that,
44:30
you know, if you do say anything, I will cry raping basically,
44:34
and it's like I wouldn't be using this anymore. But you know, they
44:39
this was two thousand and seven, so everyone's wearing the clothes in here.
44:44
I like that. We come back and Julie's doing really well at her job,
44:46
taking all the bookings and whatnot, and Marge is just loving her.
44:50
There give me a little bit of montage of her trying to seduce Homer at
44:53
work, actually putting his hand on her breast and then wearing seductive leather cl
45:00
bending over in front of him. Yeah, here's the thing. You've got
45:02
my Rudolph, very very funny person, very very talented comedian. Not used
45:07
a whole lot in this episode. No, no, I mean there's not
45:09
a whole lot of dialogue. You've got a lot, You've got a fair
45:12
bit of Juelia, but a lot of it is silent. A lot of
45:14
it's visual humor, is a lot of it's visual humor, which I'm assuming
45:16
that my root Off didn't have a lot to do with that. She wasn't
45:22
like Andy Serkistar bend over here, look up a Dan. That's it,
45:28
look up a Dan. What am I saying? That you have wasted a
45:30
perfect good ma rooto Off here as get lost you waste for a mustaches coming
45:34
up as well? I thought that was a good payout for Flanders. Not
45:36
very mean, but he basically she's in bed with pretending to be Marge at
45:42
the hair on where Marge was I don't know, but he you know,
45:45
she agrees, Okay, I'm never gonna get you. Yeah, you're never
45:47
gonna have the men that you're the only man you'll ever love. So he
45:50
as so then to hire the replacement and make sure she's not crazy like you.
45:52
Then he finds a cobra in his cereal, which I've read two things,
45:55
so apparently the reference to the Jungle Book. Apparently he bangs the cobra
46:00
get something and holds it up. Yeah, I've never seen the Jungle Book
46:02
the original animated? What ar Okay? One of my favorites get Bare Necessities
46:07
with one of my favorite songs. Everyone knows the song Bare necessity. Yeah,
46:08
No, I love the Jungle Book. Kids love Jungle Book for a
46:10
while as well. Yeah, do they like the live action? Live action?
46:15
Scary for him? It's a bit scary yeah, wa too scary because
46:17
it's watch his name Midris Elba as shit can't. Yeah, fantastic, really
46:22
good performance. Think about those live action movies is though that the animals can't
46:28
emote because they're animals. So when it's animated, you can have Faster looking
46:31
scared as he's being thrown off a cliff. When are you watching the live
46:36
action linking? It's just a line going, brother, help me. It's
46:39
like it's just his mouth. Movie. There's no emotion on the face.
46:42
It's just fucking stupid. Are the never releasing a prequel? Yeah? I
46:45
have not seen the quote unquote live action Lion King. Oh don't just don't
46:51
no, oh, and don't. I've got less desire to see ma Faster.
46:53
Don't go see the Fast film people, because they need to learn that
46:58
we don't want these anymore. It's the damn shame it's been made by a
47:00
filmmaker. I really like Barry Jenkins, who's supposed to get in the bag
47:04
for this one, but I feel like that the box office for these films
47:07
doesn't necessarily come from want demand. It comes from intrigue. People go,
47:12
I just want to see what the Lion king. People want to go see
47:15
what it looks like, and everyone will take going with that ship that point.
47:17
But because the box office is big, they go bigs. Well.
47:20
I think people are cluing in because I don't know how well did the live
47:22
action Milan do? How well did the live action Little Mermaid do? Didn't
47:27
know there was live action Milan? Wow? We okay, I don't know.
47:30
It's almost like we're going, Oh, you guys don't want Star Wars
47:34
series every single month? You guys want to. It's almost like scarcity increases
47:40
demand. Oh, saturation isn't good. It's like all the lessons of economics
47:45
that we learn over the twentieth century just don't apply in the twenty first century.
47:50
What's going on? Yeah, meanwhile, we should only do like one
47:53
podcast a month exactly. Yeah, we're killing the matt but still get all
47:59
the money. Oh woo ooo ooo ooo ooo oooooo stoo stoo stoo stoopid Flanders.
48:13
Why the crescendo, My dear old friend, good like you waste of
48:16
a mustache. Ly and ugly retrospect now pretty mean unnecessary. A good burn
48:23
never goes out of style. Yeah, Wigiam then says they've got the opera
48:27
house in full lockdown to pre crash a shandily. They're ready for Homer to
48:30
attempt for them to attempt to murder Homer. Now the performance is going on.
48:35
Home is doing a great job, but Marge can't enjoy it. She's
48:36
too scared. Lisa sees nothing suspicious except she can hear someone loudly unwrapping candy,
48:40
which is made with his lamb chopping. One thing that I cannot cannot
48:45
stand is people opening up ship at the movies. When they take forever to
48:49
open it up. You think either I know you think you're trying to be
48:53
quiet, but you're taking a long time and making more noise. Just get
48:58
it done. That was that was not static. The thing, by the
49:00
way, that was me imitating me opening a chip. It's a night screening
49:04
of Kingdom of the Pla and then they reach into the packet really slowly.
49:07
I'm like, just fucking reach in and get it out. It's the one
49:10
thing I feel bad about when I get snacks at the movies because I don't
49:14
like popcorn at the movies. You've said this, I prefer potato chips.
49:17
But opening a bag and then crunge potato chips, am I ruining everybody's moving
49:22
experience? You are, am I disrupting the screening of Abigail the Child Vampire
49:28
spoiler. But I heard it was an okay film. It's fine, it's
49:32
gonna be on v ID like tomorrow. Oh, okay, fair enough.
49:37
But then notices Julia is the maestro Wigam tries to take her out, but
49:40
she makes the music get play louder. He falls down Margin, she shoots
49:45
the dart, Margin jumps in front of her. How she got down that
49:47
far so quickly, I don't know, but she holds the instrument in front
49:50
of her. French horn, frenchorn goes through. The French schorn comes back
49:52
out and hits Julia, and then they take the shot. The snipers they
49:55
all miss. I didn't mind. The guy just reaching over the top with
49:59
his gun and the Shandeley falls on top of her, which apparently the supper
50:02
bullets stopped her heart long enough for the chandily to squeezed the poison out or
50:07
something that was what they that's why she's alivesting. I'm sorry you got hurt,
50:10
but you learned an important lesson. No one comes between me and my
50:15
homide. I'll get you for this march if it's the last thing I do.
50:20
Oh, and I scheduled the cable guy to come on Wednesday between ten
50:22
and two. Oh, but Wednesday's not good for me. I know,
50:25
Marge, I know, let's go Hagleacchi or should I say Madam butterface?
50:39
But I had too. He retires from opera Why, I don't know.
50:43
He's really good, he's obviously getting paid for it. Why he would retired
50:45
doesn't make sense. The murderers now gone, Yeah, I mean just a
50:50
lines. Oh, the groupies I can't handle it or something like that.
50:54
Yeah, he's gonna do something much more. Do you think that's bit,
50:57
something much more fun to do on his back And it's painting there about Adam?
51:02
Iought was, Oh, it's not Michael Angel's David. That's a sculpture
51:05
of course. Yeah. Is it the creation of birth of Adam's creation of
51:08
Adam? I think so? Yeah? On the roof? Is that a
51:10
real thing? No? And that's the end of the episode. So definitely
51:14
a weaker episode of The Simpsons. I've been told they do get better as
51:20
the season goes on. I feel like last season started stronger and sort of
51:23
way off of it, yeah, type of. I feel like this one
51:27
hopefully is shit at the start and gets better hope. So yes, that
51:30
would that would be good. Yeah. Look, I must admit talking about
51:32
this episode with you, your unfailing positivity and general upsided this there are some
51:38
little bits of gold dust in there. What do we learn? What did
51:44
you learn from the episode of the Davis? Oh? Well, I let
51:46
who Herbert Weinstein was. I learned that there's a difference between Barbara and Betty.
51:51
There is, Yeah, the difference I don't know, but there is
51:53
a difference, but there's certainly a difference. Forward your names will be new
51:59
Name Ampionship. It's round two for season nineteen. The current leader Bond stands
52:02
at this in first position. We have Adam Moorehouse on three points, Phil
52:07
Hawkins on two, and Matt Collins on one. Take it away being awfully
52:09
familiar with Philip J. Hawkins. Just film now is it just Phil Hawkins?
52:14
Not even Philip's just Phil Hawkins? Ok? How about your way?
52:16
Eyah? One point. One point one point goes to barre prone. That
52:23
would be Philip J. Hawkins. Nice one, Phil. He's only to
52:28
be called Philip Jay Hawkins when he's in the lead. So now he's one
52:31
point puts him equal first with Adam Wolhouse at the moment, So unless he's
52:36
first, he can't be Philip j. It's just Phil Hawkins. He wined
52:38
at Philip Jame. If he goes Philip j when he's winning. Two points
52:43
two points goes to the bedding singer. That is that's a good title,
52:47
World done. That's Heath Appleby, first time on the Liddle board this season.
52:51
So if Heath Appleby is now on two points as well, Hey Dan,
52:53
no, how do you like that? Appleby? Not bad? Okay?
52:57
Three points goes too fat Man of the Opera. And this was on
53:01
twice, it was indeed, but who got there first? It would be
53:05
so Adam Wilhouse did a second, Clever Kyle. Clever Kyle got in first.
53:10
So unfortunately, Adam, you did copy somebody else's name, and you
53:13
did the second. So let's not say you copy. Let's let's just say
53:16
the great minds think a lot exactly. Yeah, so clever Carle is now
53:20
on three points, which means we have a three way type of first position
53:22
so far Adam Woolhouse, Philip Jay Hawkins and Clever Cayle muldoon. Oh see
53:28
the start of a race like this anybody unless it's and then verious, it's
53:32
going to be Philip j. I'll give you a bit of a head start.
53:37
Yeah, looks very confident. It's like sitting back there is the tortoise
53:40
in the hair, and the hair just sort of like sits back at the
53:43
star. Catch up that totters a bit later on you're sitting here the eat
53:45
this slams the teep in. All right, so yeah, and second position
53:51
heat that will be on two. Ad mccollins. No heat, that will
53:53
be on two mc collins on one point. All right, this time for
53:57
some mail bad mail bag. First question Heath appleby Well Andrew JP commented on
54:07
it. He would have been he was at the first one. Heath says,
54:09
I've recently watched both the Bob Marley and the Amy Winehouse movies and enjoy
54:14
both. What are your favorite music bier picks from the plethora released in the
54:16
last few years. Gosh, I remember watching one about Bob Dylan many years
54:21
ago. Think I'm not there, Yes, with multiple versions of Bob Dylan
54:24
because Bob Dylan, Yeah, changed supersonicad Bobby style. Yes he did.
54:30
Apparently there's a like a legit biopic of Bob Dylan currently being filmed with Timothy
54:36
Challamaye as Dylan. What about who's the voice of Bob Dylan on the on
54:40
King of the Hill? Maybe he's looking of the Hill, Bob Dylan,
54:44
but he didn't speak actual words, just spoke gibberish. I don't recall.
54:46
It was the one where that Hank's got the Hank got the Willies. It's
54:50
the one where it's the golf one and Willie Nelson's on It is that Willie
54:53
Nelson's party, you remember? I forget the Bob Dylan part. Oh yeah,
54:57
Bob Dylan's in there. Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure it was.
55:00
Who's the voice of Hank Hill? What's his name? My Judge'm pretty
55:01
sure my judge was the voice game I'll find out. Well, and Dylan's
55:05
one of those guys it's fun to make, not make fun of, but
55:07
fun to imitate. One of the reasons I got divorced. But uh,
55:15
there's a great bit in Oliver Stone's movie The Doors about the Doors where Commic
55:21
glaughlin playing ray Manzeric. That's a good movie, The Doors. It is,
55:23
it is, and uh yeah, Raymond's Eric and he's sort of talking
55:28
about Dylan and he does it. Dan's in the basement, Nick's and then
55:30
the Men and then I'm on the pavement, Doug a man the Government.
55:34
I just love doing that. I used to annoy my ex wife a little
55:37
of the time and now she's happily mawhere. She was a big fan of
55:43
Dylan. We saw him live and oh well yeah in the Beas because Dennis
55:51
Hoppe was also in that episode. It was yeah, I mean, I'm
55:53
not there was was really interesting because who played in there was like Kate Lamb
56:00
played him. He's Ledger, Christian Balech Pledger gets naked in that right.
56:04
Probably it was a wild guy Blanchet, Bail Ledger, Rich Gear, Yeah,
56:13
Ben, We're sure, the Boys of Pennington and a young actor named
56:15
Marcus Carl Franklin. He's not done much since I don't think, oh,
56:19
I don't think it's gone on to do a whole lot. He's let's have
56:21
a look Marcus Carl Franklin. Let's look up. He's wiki. He's most
56:24
known for portraying incarnation of Bob Dylan. He calls himself Woody Guthrie in the
56:29
Bob Dylan biopick. Yeah. He was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for
56:32
Best Supporting Male in that film. He's now thirty one years old. We're
56:37
fucking old, damn son. I don't know any ones you particularly like.
56:43
It was just I'm not bare was one? Yeah? The Doors was on
56:45
you brought up. Yeah. Yeah, let's not say for him, that's
56:47
that's that's not Let's not say that that's not so recent anymore, is it
56:51
that? The Doors? I mean, no, that was nineties, wasn't
56:53
it. Now, that's like nineteen ninety's. That's like thirty five years ago,
56:58
fell killing in his prime. That's the thing. I mean, I
57:00
think something I've always said about The Door is that you get a great sort
57:02
of double dose of nostalgia because it's an nineties film talking about the sixties and
57:07
seventies, and that was thirty years ago, and this is the kind of
57:10
movie that we were making in the ninety Yeah, Because I mean, you
57:14
look at recent music biopicks, and even the ones that are sort of like,
57:17
oh wow, the Head and this rock and wrong. I know you
57:21
said let's not talk about Bohemian Rhapsody, but I mean Freddy mrcury is a
57:22
guy who went after it. Not according to this movie, no terrible,
57:27
not a good one. He came out I feel like he came out of
57:30
that movie thinking that Freddy Merky was a prick. I think in that movie
57:32
he didn't come out it was more like, yeah, I'm Freddy Mercury and
57:37
gay as all hell, but really I love this goal. There was the
57:40
Elton John one, which I haven't seen either. It was fine, okay,
57:45
I thought the guy Taron Edgerton playing Elton John did a pretty good job,
57:47
but it was sort of a bit Bohemian Rhapsody. The thing of it
57:52
is, now you've got a lot of these movies, a lot of these
57:54
biopics that are being produced or executive produced by the people that they're about.
58:00
The Beatles ones are coming out, so you don't they Yeah, now where
58:01
the Paul and Ringo. I'd like to think they probably would be got a
58:05
bit of with things like that's probably better just watch the the remastered dock eyes
58:09
like watch Get Back or apparently Let It Be has been remastered and you can
58:14
Okay, there was like this great. I've never seen Let It Be,
58:16
but I've read some exchange of dialogue front where Paul says, oh, sorry
58:20
if I'm annoying you, George, and George like, you don't annoy me
58:22
at all anymore. It's just like, oh, what a burn. One
58:25
of my favorite Beatles songs is from Let It Be Naked, which is sort
58:28
of like the b sessions. I've Let It Be and it's you know my
58:30
name? Look up the number. Have you ever heard that song? I
58:32
have not. It's just them fucking about for like seven minutes. You know
58:36
my name? Look up the number? Worth it? Check it out?
58:38
Check it out this guy. But you're asking about the musical bibe Sorry who
58:42
asked this? That was from Heat that Will Be Heap. You're asking about
58:44
musical bipics that I like. This isn't recent either. This is closer than
58:47
twenty five years old. Movie called Velvet gold Mine. It's sort of about
58:51
the rise of glam rock. They didn't have the rights to any Bowie songs
58:55
or Bowie's image or anything like that. But I'm David Bowie baby, but
59:02
Jonathan Reese Myers essentially plays it David Bowie like Ewan McGregor. This is in
59:07
his pre Obi Wan phase. Yeah, just post Train Spotting plays like an
59:13
Eggy pop type. Christian Bales in it as a reporter who was very big
59:16
into the glam scene and now he's sort of following up on a bit of
59:20
a murder mystery sideburns, so you always has sideburns when he plays like that
59:24
kind of role. I think he did playing the younger version of It's a
59:28
really good movie, and it's got a fantastic glam rock soundtrack. I like
59:30
Walk the Line a lot of Johnny cash one. It's very it's pretty basic.
59:34
I still have never seen it. That's what we've got on our list
59:36
to watch Nickel and because Nicolas never seen it either. It's really good.
59:38
Unfortunately, it does that thing that gets skewered pretty well in War Card,
59:43
where you know you'll have someone saying a line that's like I'm going to turn
59:45
that into a song. I mean, you have something where Reese Witherspoon playing
59:50
June Carter Cash it's something like oh it burns, Burns burns like It's like,
59:54
what the fuck on, man? How does that hot pizza like a
1:00:01
fucking ring of fire? Oh? I shouldn't have had that freedom. By
1:00:07
the way, tune into speaking of the Hill. That gag will make a
1:00:08
lot more sense. Let's do a couple more questions Andrew JP. If you're
1:00:10
a professional singer, what the genre would you choose to perform in? You'd
1:00:14
be rap, right, you'd be hip hop if you if you had the
1:00:16
ability to do it. You mean, if I had the if I had
1:00:20
the sorry mcg d here. I think being just being a front man is
1:00:27
like the dream for me. Yeah, just having that Freddie Mercury energy.
1:00:30
You know where you got, where you got the ability to go. I
1:00:35
just have so much ability and believe in myself. I ain't you a funk.
1:00:37
I just do what I want this stage. I've always been a fan
1:00:39
of people who like they name their band after themselves, Yeah, Homer and
1:00:45
the Yeah, or the Steve Miller band. It's like, I'm Steve Miller
1:00:49
and this is the band. Motherfucker. There's a great line in that movie
1:00:53
Almost Famous, where Jason Lee is the lead singer of the band, but
1:00:59
the guitarist played by Billy kru All the chicks love him, and he's kind
1:01:01
of like the center of attention gets rid of like I'm the front man.
1:01:06
You're the lead guitarist with mystique, You're meant to just be over there and
1:01:09
be kind of Wow, that guy's kind of interesting. You shouldn't be front
1:01:13
and center. That's a movie I need to revisit. Always been one of
1:01:15
my favorites. Good movie. If I was a muso, I've always Yeah,
1:01:20
I think I said actually in the last episode of this podcast, if
1:01:22
I was a singer song writer, it would be a guy named David Gray.
1:01:24
I like that guy, rach Beasley. If you could sing one song
1:01:29
perfectly, what would it be, I'm going to go Behemian Rhapsody. I
1:01:31
feel like if you could sing Behimi in Rapsy perfectly, you'd be like,
1:01:35
everyone will love you at the party. That's requiring a lot. Yeah,
1:01:37
you've got to do what harmony is? Yeah, everything matter of Wow.
1:01:42
Just having Freddie Mercury is just Mama. Yeah, I'd love that. What
1:01:45
about you? It's not necessarily a crowd favor or anything like that. I
1:01:50
like Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley. Yeah, I think I think because it's
1:01:52
got sort of moody stuff, and you know it goes down a little bit,
1:01:55
but then you've got to be able to hit some high notes a bit
1:01:58
a little bit later on, get a bit impawer. He passed away really
1:02:00
young. Right, Oh yeah, he died. It like maybe you got
1:02:04
to pass out and drowned or something. He was swimming in the Mississippi one
1:02:07
night and just drowned. Yeah, terrible. We actually had a question last
1:02:12
week from AIRM and Andrew swan right. I said I was going to get
1:02:15
back to it, and I am right. We mentioned it before we recorded.
1:02:17
He said what would the sequel for the Simpsons movie be? And just
1:02:21
before we went to air, we went what can We went to record what
1:02:24
could it be? And guy came up with the great idea. And I
1:02:28
really liked this of a Halloween movie for the Simpsons, So I said,
1:02:31
you couldn't technically make this the Simpsons movie, like Simpsons sequel in the cinema,
1:02:37
but I think this would be a great like Disney special at Halloween time
1:02:39
or whatever. Yeah, well, a full length, a full length thing.
1:02:43
But it's almost like twenty two short films of Springfield. Twenty two short
1:02:45
films about Springfield. Sorry, but set a Halloween on Halloween night. I
1:02:50
think there'd be a lot of fun to be had with that across between a
1:02:52
Treehouse of Horror episode and a twenty two short films about Springfield episode In that
1:02:58
Yeah, the way I thought about it, Barton Milhouse are off on some
1:03:01
spooky Halloween adventure. Lisa is doing something. It was a it was a
1:03:07
joke that we couldn't think of anything that Lisa to do this. So she's
1:03:09
doing something, but we'll find something. We're gonna call it a trick or
1:03:12
Treehouse of Horror. Yeah, And Homer and Marge are at home Hannett Candy
1:03:17
and it turns into something like the Strangers or the Purge or something like that.
1:03:21
It's a bit of a home invasion thing. Well, we had the
1:03:22
home invasion with the Halloween of Horror. Remember that one, the one where
1:03:25
it's from like season twenty six or whatever. That's one of the best post
1:03:29
modern, post Golden Eerest episodes of all time where it's set on Halloween nights.
1:03:32
It's actually scary. Did you review that one with me? I think
1:03:35
so, Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did it with Mitch Morson sure where
1:03:37
that we went back and reviees it as well. But Halloween of Horrors is
1:03:38
an absolute it's amazing. It's a bad checking out, all right, we'll
1:03:42
check it out. But basically it's like, it's what's the movie where three
1:03:44
is it? Three people wearing masks coming to the house. That's the strangers,
1:03:47
the strange, that's what it's what it is. Yeah, it's a
1:03:50
parody of that spooky out and it's a scary episode as well. Yeah,
1:03:52
it's really really good Halloween of Horror. But because let's say Barton Milhouse are
1:03:57
going all over Springfield trying to get candy, you know, they run into
1:04:00
various other residents of Springfield who are having their own sort of mini spooky adventures.
1:04:05
Yep, so everybody gets a look in. And yeah, Halloween is
1:04:10
the framing device. So we too spooky films about Springfield. Yeah, pretty
1:04:13
much. So there's a great Halloween movie called Trick or Treat that I really
1:04:17
really enjoy, and I think that's a good sort of framing device. It's
1:04:20
got three stories that sort of intertwined and interconnect throughout and other little bits and
1:04:26
pieces that are happening. So I shamelessly rip that off for the idea and
1:04:30
Dando, being the big brain that he is, elaborated on it turned into
1:04:33
what could be an excellent Simpsons movie sequel. Let's do it all right?
1:04:38
Well, that would be our review of the Homer of Seville. I hope
1:04:41
