Speaker 1: Four Finger Discount Ude.
0:17
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome to a special episode of four Finger Discount.
0:20
Speaker 2: This is actually the first episode fourth a discat we're
0:22
Speaker 2: recording in twenty twenty five. You'll notice there's no guy here,
0:25
Speaker 2: but I'm joined by my other bearded friend. It is
0:28
Speaker 2: Alia Jay O'Neil from the Simpsons Index kind of podcast.
0:31
Speaker 2: You still doing that podcast? Hey? Doing man? Hey?
0:33
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm still doing it for a little while longer,
0:36
Speaker 1: at least, we're about to catch up with the show.
0:38
Speaker 1: We've reviewed seven hundred and twenty episodes now and just
0:42
Speaker 1: we're we're finishing off the last of it before the
0:44
Speaker 1: next season comes along and we've got a whole new
0:46
Speaker 1: batch of stuff to record.
0:47
Speaker 2: Yes, but you said you're doing a new show now,
0:49
Speaker 2: so let's plug that quickly before we get into today's thing,
0:52
Speaker 2: which is the best Simpsons and worst vacation episodes. But
0:55
Speaker 2: you said you've started a new one. Is it for
0:56
Speaker 2: Patreon or is it going to be a new show
0:58
Speaker 2: that anyone can listen to on Spotify wherever.
1:00
Speaker 1: It's kind of both, so it's out on the free feeds,
1:03
Speaker 1: you know. If we're talking vacations. One of the ways
1:05
Speaker 1: I like to spend a vacation is you know, just
1:08
Speaker 1: sitting back and getting some time in with movies, catching
1:11
Speaker 1: up with all the films that I've been meaning to watch.
1:14
Speaker 1: And yeah, the premise of this new podcast is called
1:17
Speaker 1: Starring Springfield, So we are reviewing the movies that star
1:21
Speaker 1: the cast of the Simpsons, and it's been a really
1:24
Speaker 1: fun experiment. Just this criteria means we just get such
1:27
Speaker 1: a weird, interesting array of films. And yeah, it's not
1:31
Speaker 1: just animated films, because you know the Simpsons core cast,
1:34
Speaker 1: they're actors as well. So we're getting, you know, from
1:38
Speaker 1: cinematic classics like this is Spinal Tap starring Harry Shearer,
1:43
Speaker 1: to weird obscured, damn near forgotten films like nineteen ninety
1:49
Speaker 1: two's Toys.
1:50
Speaker 2: Can I throw one out there? You have you done
1:52
Speaker 2: this one yet? Because I just realized. I didn't realize
1:54
Speaker 2: Harry Shier was in it until the kids started watching yesterday,
1:56
Speaker 2: because this is a beloved film from when I was
1:58
Speaker 2: a kid. But it is Little Giant from nineteen ninety four,
2:02
Speaker 2: I believe, with Rick Moranis and Ed O'Neill as two
2:06
Speaker 2: brothers rival football coaches in a local town competing to
2:09
Speaker 2: be the dominant team in the small town in America.
2:11
Speaker 2: It's got Harry Shehiert as the commentator in it. You
2:13
Speaker 2: have you done this film yet? No, Little Giants. It
2:16
Speaker 2: is delightful.
2:18
Speaker 1: No, I've just pulled up the wiki of it. I'm
2:21
Speaker 1: not a big sports fan, but oh my gosh, I
2:23
Speaker 1: love a sports movie.
2:24
Speaker 2: You know. It's the Mighty Ducks in Peewee football, is
2:26
Speaker 2: what it is.
2:27
Speaker 1: Ah, you've sold me. Yeah, I'm looking. Yeah, kids' sports film.
2:31
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a whole lot of fun. Yeah, so
2:34
Speaker 1: we get the movie suggested from our Patreon page. Our
2:37
Speaker 1: wonderful heroes over there suggest the movie. So yeah, I
2:40
Speaker 1: really hope someone suggest gets on and suggests Little Giants,
2:44
Speaker 1: because yeah, this looks like fun. I might just watch
2:46
Speaker 1: this in my own Watch it, mate, just watch it.
2:48
Speaker 1: I'll give you access to I don't think it's not
2:49
Speaker 1: any streaming service. I don't think it is, but I've
2:52
Speaker 1: got I've got my PLEXI I'll give you access to
2:54
Speaker 1: my plex.
2:54
Speaker 2: You can watch it on there, because it's fantastic.
2:56
Speaker 1: Man, we come into that a lot because there's a
2:58
Speaker 1: lot of obscure films and like movies that are damn
3:01
Speaker 1: near close to becoming lost media, like we're about to
3:04
Speaker 1: review The Christmas Path with an obscure Maggie Rosewell movie
3:08
Speaker 1: that stars a child Shylah Boff And recently also we
3:13
Speaker 1: reviewed the Aristocrats documentary, which was surprisingly hard to find
3:18
Speaker 1: despite being a Gillette pen documentary which stars both Hank
3:22
Speaker 1: Azaria and Harry Sheer giving their tellings of the famous
3:25
Speaker 1: Aristocrats joke.
3:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go. Yeah, when I spoke to Hank,
3:29
Speaker 2: he was just saying how we had it on the
3:31
Speaker 2: tuned in Jim Comings podcast a few weeks ago, and
3:34
Speaker 2: he was saying, how still to this day he has
3:36
Speaker 2: no self confidence when it comes to his acting. He
3:38
Speaker 2: just almost like loathes his performances, so which is quite incredible.
3:42
Speaker 1: Wild because out of a lot of the movies, like
3:45
Speaker 1: Hankazaria comes up a lot because he has put in
3:48
Speaker 1: a lot with you know, in terms of doing projects
3:50
Speaker 1: outside of the Simpsons and Friends.
3:52
Speaker 2: Was a big one. Yeah, that's right.
3:55
Speaker 1: And yeah, also recently on starring Springfield, we watched Night
3:58
Speaker 1: of the Museum Too, Night Out the Museum Too rather
4:02
Speaker 1: where he's playing the Egyptian guy, a guy that's come
4:06
Speaker 1: back from the past.
4:07
Speaker 2: Great films two great films man.
4:09
Speaker 1: He's just eating a big old Ham sandwich in that movie,
4:11
Speaker 1: and it's a delight to see. It's weird to hear
4:14
Speaker 1: that he has any lack of confidence, because that role
4:18
Speaker 1: and that character is all confidence.
4:20
Speaker 2: He's so good in it. Well, he essentially said to
4:23
Speaker 2: us that he after every film he's finished, he always
4:25
Speaker 2: comes out of it thinking he's ruined it for everybody else.
4:28
Speaker 2: He can't watch his performances. I don't know whether it
4:30
Speaker 2: was us looking for us to go, nah, you're great, hand,
4:33
Speaker 2: you're the bed. But but Hank was absolutely delight to
4:38
Speaker 2: talk to. You can find out on our tunim of
4:39
Speaker 2: Jim Cummings feed as well speak or co host with
4:43
Speaker 2: with Disney Voice acting legend Jim Cummings and his steps
4:46
Speaker 2: on Chris, who is the son of Tilk from Stargate.
4:49
Speaker 1: I made a mini guest appearance on that podcast.
4:53
Speaker 2: Was it when we had Bill fab Who who was
4:55
Speaker 2: on when you walked in? I'm not sure. I just
4:57
Speaker 2: saw that.
4:58
Speaker 1: I was like, I came in to the podcast too
5:01
Speaker 1: early and who were doing that other podcast? And I
5:03
Speaker 1: left as quickly as I could. Yeah, prantically try to
5:07
Speaker 1: find the at lead conversation.
5:09
Speaker 2: But exaid to me, who was that guy? A good time?
5:16
Speaker 2: Just go oh hey, what's going on here? Podcast? But
5:19
Speaker 2: we're here today because I figured, you know, it's still
5:21
Speaker 2: people are still in somewhat vacation mode. Most people have
5:23
Speaker 2: gone back to work. I'm lucky enough, fortunate enough not
5:25
Speaker 2: have to go to a workplace. I'll work from home.
5:27
Speaker 2: But I'm still in somewhat vacation mode because I think
5:30
Speaker 2: once the kids go back to school, I'll feel like
5:32
Speaker 2: I'm properly back at work again, because when the kids
5:34
Speaker 2: always here, it's just it's hard to get anything done.
5:35
Speaker 2: What I happened getting done, I was getting the studio emrange.
5:37
Speaker 2: Maybe see if youre watching the video here. I've got
5:39
Speaker 2: my old school TV haven't got turned on, but I've
5:42
Speaker 2: got their all my consoles set up, so I've got
5:44
Speaker 2: the PlayStation one, PlayStation two, s nests, Nest this with
5:47
Speaker 2: the Zappa gun, got sixty four also not ready to go.
5:50
Speaker 2: I've got my Simpsons VHS tape, so got my old DVDs.
5:53
Speaker 2: It's just it's delightful, but we're doing here today, Simpsons.
5:57
Speaker 2: The best and worst of the vacation episodes focus more
6:00
Speaker 2: so on the best ones essentially what I said, pull
6:03
Speaker 2: the curtain back a bit. I said to Elliott, you
6:05
Speaker 2: sent me a list of ones you want to talk about,
6:06
Speaker 2: and I'll add all subtract and the list you sent
6:08
Speaker 2: through is pretty much spot on. Now, what defines a
6:11
Speaker 2: vacation episode. I was originally thinking maybe it's just whenever
6:14
Speaker 2: they leave Springfield, and in that note, you could talk
6:16
Speaker 2: about Lemon of Troy, you could talk about dance and home,
6:19
Speaker 2: you can talk about anything when they're leaving Springfield. But
6:22
Speaker 2: I think that's not a vacation episode. Of vacation episodes
6:24
Speaker 2: when they're genuinely going on a holiday to get away
6:27
Speaker 2: from Springfield, not for work or anything like that. So
6:29
Speaker 2: that takes those ones out of it. But the list
6:31
Speaker 2: you've sent through is pretty spot on. I'm just reading
6:34
Speaker 2: through here again. There's some new ones here, some new
6:36
Speaker 2: episodes that I haven't seen before. And the reason I
6:40
Speaker 2: haven't sent it because what I do is with the
6:43
Speaker 2: of the season twenty now with the podcast, I don't
6:46
Speaker 2: want to get too far ahead. I like to try
6:47
Speaker 2: and stay in the season twenty vibe that mode. So
6:51
Speaker 2: we're reviewing each episode as if it's essentially watching it
6:53
Speaker 2: as an ad on TV. Does that make any sense?
6:55
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
6:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, our thing on the Simpsons Index, you know, we
6:59
Speaker 1: were comparing three episodes at a time, one from each decade.
7:02
Speaker 1: We were taking a kind of random watch approach, and
7:07
Speaker 1: that has its benefits and its drawbacks. But yeah, for
7:11
Speaker 1: you to do it chronologically, I understand not wanting to
7:14
Speaker 1: read ahead and get ahead of the class, so to speak,
7:17
Speaker 1: because you know, it keeps you in that one mode.
7:19
Speaker 1: The way we do it, it means we kind of
7:21
Speaker 1: forget about eras and the moods of the time of
7:24
Speaker 1: the thing that we're in.
7:25
Speaker 2: I have found that the closer we get to the
7:27
Speaker 2: later episodes through in season twenty now, the more we
7:30
Speaker 2: find our soundes. Going do do a classic one this week? Well?
7:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the benefit of doing three at a
7:37
Speaker 1: time and going a twenties, teens and then a classic era,
7:42
Speaker 1: because we'd always get like the recalibration of a classic era,
7:45
Speaker 1: because say what you bill about the new era, but
7:47
Speaker 1: it's certainly different to classic Simpsons. So just being able
7:52
Speaker 1: to go back and go, oh, okay, this is what
7:53
Speaker 1: the show was when it was at its most popular
7:55
Speaker 1: and firing on all cylinders and things and yeah, at
7:59
Speaker 1: the moment when we've only got new ones to review, Yeah,
8:01
Speaker 1: I have to just go back in my own time
8:03
Speaker 1: and you know, Chuck on a classic one, just to
8:06
Speaker 1: recenter myself.
8:08
Speaker 2: I just find the reason I didn't want to sort
8:10
Speaker 2: of compare ones, because I find once you start comparing eras,
8:13
Speaker 2: that's when you start really nitpicking things. And I found
8:16
Speaker 2: with doing it the way we do it nothing against
8:19
Speaker 2: the way you've done it. Obviously, it's been a huge
8:20
Speaker 2: success the way we're doing it. Just say, season nineteen,
8:23
Speaker 2: we just finished it. I don't think season nineteen our
8:25
Speaker 2: reviews were anywhere near as negative as they probably would
8:29
Speaker 2: have been had we been comparing it at the same
8:31
Speaker 2: time with a golden ear one, because I like to
8:33
Speaker 2: try and, as I said, review these episodes as if
8:35
Speaker 2: we are watching it in real time when the show
8:37
Speaker 2: originally aired. What was the mindset of a Simpsons fan
8:40
Speaker 2: when season nineteen was on, and watching those ones back
8:45
Speaker 2: to back to back, they don't seem as bad. I
8:47
Speaker 2: guess they sort of just deflate and bring down your
8:50
Speaker 2: expectations to the point where you go, ah, it's fine,
8:52
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, so, but yeah, I actually quite enjoyed
8:56
Speaker 2: season nineteen. I thought there's probably maybe two or three
8:58
Speaker 2: episodes that just were any good. However, the last episode
9:01
Speaker 2: I believe we reviewed on the feed here a flashback
9:03
Speaker 2: one with Homer and Marge where they nearly cheated on
9:06
Speaker 2: each other. Oh, the Dangerous Curves. Dangerous Curves. That is
9:09
Speaker 2: the worst episode of the Simpsons. We have reviewed it
9:11
Speaker 2: to date.
9:12
Speaker 1: It is horrific, even we didn't give it full fail marks.
9:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll listen to that podcast of yours and
9:18
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I remember that one that wasn't good.
9:22
Speaker 2: It's just it infuriated me. I don't get angry very
9:26
Speaker 2: often at the Simpsons, but that one just so.
9:29
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of a vacation episode, isn't it is?
9:32
Speaker 1: Its three at once because they're going to that holiday house.
9:35
Speaker 2: True. Yeah, that can go on the worst list. Yeah,
9:39
Speaker 2: let's talk about some of the best. Now. The first
9:41
Speaker 2: one you got on the list here is one of
9:43
Speaker 2: the earliest episodes of the Simpsons. I think it's episode
9:46
Speaker 2: seven or six, I want to say the show. I
9:49
Speaker 2: think it's somewhere close to there. It's the Call of
9:52
Speaker 2: the Simpsons. Now, this is one, dare I say one
9:55
Speaker 2: of the more iconic episodes, specifically because they always shared
9:58
Speaker 2: the clip of Homer and Bart with the rabbit trap
10:01
Speaker 2: in all the Kip shows, So I think people remember
10:03
Speaker 2: it for that. But the Call of the Simpsons, What
10:06
Speaker 2: made you put that on the list for best vacation episodes?
10:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, there's certainly in the years been a bit
10:12
Speaker 1: of mixed opinions on season one. A lot of people
10:15
Speaker 1: will talk about what the classic era of the show
10:18
Speaker 1: truly is, what seasons are the classics, and one I
10:21
Speaker 1: think unfairly gets left out of the conversation a lot
10:24
Speaker 1: of the time. And it's episodes like this that have
10:27
Speaker 1: this incredible ambition for what this show could be. And
10:32
Speaker 1: I think they're really going out on a limb in
10:35
Speaker 1: this one, you know, a tree limb. They're trying to
10:37
Speaker 1: catch a rabbit, so to speak, and they're really trying
10:40
Speaker 1: hard with a show that's very new, very untested, and
10:44
Speaker 1: could possibly just get canceled after one season. I think
10:46
Speaker 1: it's quite a bold move to put the Simpson family
10:50
Speaker 1: in this situation in the first place. And yeah, of
10:53
Speaker 1: course some season one stuff it looks a little goofy
10:56
Speaker 1: in hindsight, and there's some more flat moments but the
11:00
Speaker 1: whole thing of Homer getting mistaken.
11:02
Speaker 2: Is Bigfoot will always amuse me.
11:04
Speaker 1: And I think the progression of that and Maggie and
11:07
Speaker 1: the Bears, I think this story has got a lot
11:10
Speaker 1: of that early subversion of the Simpsons that works very well.
11:14
Speaker 1: And yeah, it is kind of a subversion of the
11:16
Speaker 1: whole family getting an RV and taking a vacation because
11:20
Speaker 1: it's just it's not going right from the start, is it.
11:23
Speaker 2: Dad thinks he knows what's going on, but he has
11:25
Speaker 2: no idea.
11:25
Speaker 1: Oh, the experienced Woodsman very relatable.
11:28
Speaker 2: I think this episode for me, if I went back
11:30
Speaker 2: and rewatch it now, would be a lot more relatable
11:32
Speaker 2: as someone who has two small kids, because I am
11:34
Speaker 2: now Homer, I'm not going Dad, you don't know what
11:37
Speaker 2: you're doing. Remember memories of my dad. My dad wasn't
11:39
Speaker 2: experienced woosman, so he always knew it was going on.
11:41
Speaker 2: You just you said, my dad, into the outback and
11:43
Speaker 2: you'll find a way to five, you know what I mean.
11:44
Speaker 2: He's just one of those people. I kin'd even put
11:46
Speaker 2: an nail into a wall. So I like to think
11:49
Speaker 2: that if I bought an RV, this would be me.
11:50
Speaker 2: I go yep, let's go camping, kids, and I'd get lost.
11:53
Speaker 2: I would know what I'm doing, but throughout the episode
11:56
Speaker 2: I'd like to try and sort of threat being lost,
12:00
Speaker 2: portray that I don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
12:02
Speaker 2: But clearly is a Homer saying I've murdered us all
12:05
Speaker 2: is somebody says I've murdered us all Yeah, that's it. Yeah,
12:10
Speaker 2: that's right. I remember this episode more so. I think
12:14
Speaker 2: it's one of the more cartoony episodes of the first season,
12:17
Speaker 2: not visually, just from a story perspective, and I think
12:20
Speaker 2: maybe that's why it felt like it was one of
12:22
Speaker 2: the more merchandised episodes of the early era. I remember
12:26
Speaker 2: you had Hungry Jack's figures. Yeah, there was a range
12:30
Speaker 2: of cups you could get of the Call of the Simpsons.
12:33
Speaker 2: It was almost like everyone remembered the one where they
12:35
Speaker 2: went camping. It seemed to stand out because maybe because
12:38
Speaker 2: it wasn't in Springfield one where they went camping. I
12:40
Speaker 2: think it's a different visual, so they're a on their
12:42
Speaker 2: camping gear. It's fun to look at that kind of
12:44
Speaker 2: thing as well. So I think from a story perspective,
12:47
Speaker 2: you brought up the fact that Homer gets confused as Bigfoot.
12:50
Speaker 2: I remember when I reviewed it, I liked the fact
12:53
Speaker 2: that he was confused as Bigfoot in the first place.
12:55
Speaker 2: I thought it was a bit wacky that, Okay, we've
12:57
Speaker 2: taken him to a lab and they still kind of
12:58
Speaker 2: establish it this as a man. You know, it's like
13:01
Speaker 2: these these profession these professional scientists going, I think it
13:03
Speaker 2: is a man. It's like it's just a guy covered
13:05
Speaker 2: in mud. It's a human being. We can just do
13:09
Speaker 2: a DNA test. People. That is silly, But that is
13:13
Speaker 2: just very Season one Simpsons. Like you said, it's a
13:15
Speaker 2: show that hadn't quite figured out what it wanted to
13:17
Speaker 2: be yet. Are we a wacky cartoon? Are we set
13:20
Speaker 2: in reality? And this one really blurred the lines between
13:23
Speaker 2: them both, but it did it in a way that
13:24
Speaker 2: was still fun. Yeah.
13:25
Speaker 1: The subversion with Marge and Lisa being quite competent taking
13:29
Speaker 1: care of themselves in the woods.
13:30
Speaker 2: As well, it's a good point too, particularly early nineties,
13:33
Speaker 2: just you know, it's the woman and the daughter who
13:35
Speaker 2: know what they're doing. You know, that's very dare I
13:37
Speaker 2: say progressive? And that was that it came out in
13:39
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety Yeah, and you.
13:41
Speaker 1: Know, with the whole media storm. It's a very silly premise,
13:44
Speaker 1: but I think it just does this commentary on media
13:48
Speaker 1: spin as well. So yeah, it uses a very idea
13:51
Speaker 1: to you know, make jokes about something that's very real
13:54
Speaker 1: in our society.
13:54
Speaker 2: That you still tracks today.
13:56
Speaker 1: So yeah, there is a timeless quality to this episodisode
14:00
Speaker 1: that even a lot of season one episodes don't date
14:04
Speaker 1: as well, you know, on my not as good list
14:07
Speaker 1: of the vacant well it's not really a vacation episode
14:10
Speaker 1: but Grapes of Wrath where Bart goes to France.
14:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not one. I love returning to a good ending,
14:16
Speaker 2: though I really liked the end.
14:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's a fun end and an unexpected thing,
14:21
Speaker 1: but yeah, the journey to get there are part's just
14:23
Speaker 1: so miserable.
14:23
Speaker 2: The whole it is so cruel. Yeah, well that's one
14:27
Speaker 2: of the more iconic reviews we did back in the
14:29
Speaker 2: early days when it first started, because we couldn't wake
14:32
Speaker 2: out the frog aspect, like what we are they saying
14:34
Speaker 2: frogs for? And then we had all these barrage people
14:37
Speaker 2: saying because they're French, you fool, and I was like, oh, yeah,
14:42
Speaker 2: you can't go back and edit that out now.
14:43
Speaker 1: Oh now.
14:46
Speaker 2: It's on the internet forever. Yes, it is. Indeed, yes,
14:48
Speaker 2: back in twenty fifteen when that first came out. We're
14:50
Speaker 2: closing them our tenth anniversary here four years ago. Well done.
14:55
Speaker 2: Ten years and we've only missed I Reckon two or
14:57
Speaker 2: three weeks. Every week for ten years, there's been an
15:00
Speaker 2: episode getting out there. It's pretty cool, good stuff.
15:02
Speaker 1: I've missed a whole lot more than that I want.
15:05
Speaker 2: To talk about. I'm skipping down your list. I'm not
15:06
Speaker 2: going to do this in particular order. But it's one
15:08
Speaker 2: that I have always loved, and I think I love
15:11
Speaker 2: it more of the older I get, because again, as
15:13
Speaker 2: we said, I now washed the Simpsons through the eyes
15:15
Speaker 2: of Homer as a poster bart. Yeah, but I love
15:17
Speaker 2: this one as a kid, and I have memories of
15:19
Speaker 2: it because it was one of the ones. You know,
15:21
Speaker 2: one used to record The Simpsons off Channel ten here
15:22
Speaker 2: in Australia we record off TV anyway. You're listening around
15:25
Speaker 2: the world BBC in or this ITV whoever it wasn't
15:27
Speaker 2: in the in the UK and Fox in the States.
15:30
Speaker 2: You recorded your favorite episodes. You cut the ad zeh
15:32
Speaker 2: bla blah blah and you had your tape that was
15:33
Speaker 2: always your favorite one of those, So this one has
15:36
Speaker 2: more of my favorite episodes than others, So you always
15:38
Speaker 2: had to put that one on. And I remember there
15:40
Speaker 2: was a tape that I had that had bart on
15:42
Speaker 2: the Road right near the very beginning, and I just
15:45
Speaker 2: always have fond memories I reckon. I watched this one
15:47
Speaker 2: so many more times than others because I put the
15:49
Speaker 2: Simpsons on before bed and just had the Simpsons casually
15:52
Speaker 2: on in playing in my ears as I slept. Essentially
15:55
Speaker 2: just had had the tape playing. And I remember because
15:58
Speaker 2: bart in the Road was near the beginning of the tape,
16:00
Speaker 2: it was always one that I would still be awake
16:02
Speaker 2: when it was on. So bart On the Road was
16:03
Speaker 2: always one of my favorite episodes as a kid. I
16:05
Speaker 2: always thought it was a lot of fun. It's not
16:07
Speaker 2: necessarily a vacation, but I guess it's a vacation. It's
16:10
Speaker 2: more of just a road trip. It's a road trip,
16:13
Speaker 2: isn't it. I guess you can cause a vacation, but
16:15
Speaker 2: I think it's.
16:15
Speaker 1: To be a couple of things because it's a spring
16:17
Speaker 1: break episode and it's very core, and you know, you
16:20
Speaker 1: get to see the two stories of the two kids,
16:23
Speaker 1: how they get to spend their spring breaks, and it's
16:26
Speaker 1: back to this. You know, Simpsons is a poorer family.
16:29
Speaker 1: You know, this is what they could afford to do
16:32
Speaker 1: with Lisa and yeah with but getting on the road
16:35
Speaker 1: and the road trip. Yeah, very wacky and wouldn't that
16:37
Speaker 1: be expensive? But they justified in story. They get Martin
16:41
Speaker 1: Prince involved into their little gang there, and it's got
16:45
Speaker 1: this other thing with the groups of kids where Nelson
16:48
Speaker 1: is their friend in summer. And I've heard them talk
16:51
Speaker 1: about this on commentaries. You know, fans will go, oh,
16:53
Speaker 1: why is Nelson hanging out with Button Millhouse?
16:55
Speaker 2: That makes no sense.
16:56
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, because in school time he has to
16:58
Speaker 1: be the bully and present this front. But in summer
17:01
Speaker 1: time everyone might be off doing their own thing, and
17:04
Speaker 1: who's got no one else to hang out.
17:05
Speaker 2: We've got no friends? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly because the
17:08
Speaker 2: bullies are all older than Nelson, aren't they.
17:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're assumingly in sixth or seventh grade or something,
17:14
Speaker 1: but also might be in their thirties.
17:16
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that's true, Kelney. In the earlier seasons, though
17:20
Speaker 2: it was the Three Bullies, Nelson wasn't part of the
17:22
Speaker 2: group originally was he I think it's the tell tale
17:24
Speaker 2: head where we meet the bullies for the first time. Yeah,
17:27
Speaker 2: well we meet those three they damn to do things.
17:29
Speaker 2: So they're the older kids who are the bullies, and
17:31
Speaker 2: but trying to impress the older kids. Nelson was the
17:33
Speaker 2: bully in his class. I guess they just merged that.
17:37
Speaker 2: They just decided letter on the track E. They're all bullies.
17:39
Speaker 2: They can orders hang out together. Yeah, that's it.
17:41
Speaker 1: With Nelson hanging out with this group, that just makes
17:43
Speaker 1: such a great dynamic forsome that, yeah, makes this road
17:47
Speaker 1: trip all the more compelling. And then you know, with
17:50
Speaker 1: Lisa trying to have a vacation at her dad's work
17:53
Speaker 1: and Homer and her make their own fun by the end,
17:56
Speaker 1: and I love that.
17:58
Speaker 2: It's so good that story, isn't it. This is the
17:59
Speaker 2: verse of Homer that you just don't get in the
18:01
Speaker 2: teen episodes of the show, where it's just daddy daughter
18:05
Speaker 2: time and he's just he feels so real. It's just
18:07
Speaker 2: so what can we do? We can just wear these
18:09
Speaker 2: suits and roll around the chairs like that's what that's real,
18:11
Speaker 2: that's what you would do.
18:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And I'm sure you know you having kids
18:17
Speaker 1: know this more than anyone. It's just having solo time
18:21
Speaker 1: with each individual kid is so important to develop your
18:24
Speaker 1: own rapport and own back and forth and interest and
18:27
Speaker 1: things that you know are just for you, guys. And
18:30
Speaker 1: seeing this develop with Homer and Lisa, who have had
18:33
Speaker 1: such a strange relationship over the years, that's a good point,
18:37
Speaker 1: and that it comes to a heartwarming point where Homer
18:39
Speaker 1: has listened, he has learned things.
18:41
Speaker 2: About her older My god, how good is that bit.
18:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pat's a little head, and yeah, she confides in
18:47
Speaker 1: him when she needs to help Bart and it just
18:50
Speaker 1: makes up such this interesting dynamic. And then yeah, when
18:53
Speaker 1: they're sitting around the table digesting at the end, it's
18:56
Speaker 1: just it sells that moment so hard, especially with margin
18:59
Speaker 1: on the wise of just looking on with that spiel.
19:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and but not realizing that home is aware as well. Yeah,
19:05
Speaker 2: so good.
19:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's real fastical stuff. I love when Simpsons do
19:10
Speaker 1: that kind of Right.
19:10
Speaker 2: Now, let's three out a newer one. I have no
19:13
Speaker 2: idea what this episode is. You're gonna have to give
19:15
Speaker 2: us a quick little brief. Don't do a full run
19:18
Speaker 2: now because I haven't watched it yet. But just yeah.
19:20
Speaker 2: I mean it's spoils fun. It's called I've never this
19:24
Speaker 2: saw what was called whether it's the description of the episode,
19:26
Speaker 2: A totally fun thing that Bart will never do again?
19:28
Speaker 2: Is that the name of the episode? Yeah?
19:31
Speaker 1: So I did actually revisit this one in prep for
19:34
Speaker 1: this podcast because I put a couple of newer ones
19:37
Speaker 1: here that I remember liking.
19:38
Speaker 2: What season, where can we find this one?
19:41
Speaker 1: I think this was season twenty three, maybe maybe twenty four.
19:46
Speaker 2: Do it now?
19:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, do again, the nineteenth episode of season twenty.
19:51
Speaker 2: Three, twenty three.
19:53
Speaker 1: So this is what gets answered, you know, because the
19:57
Speaker 1: Simpsons have been all around the world at this stage.
19:59
Speaker 1: By season twenty three, they've hit every continent. And this was,
20:02
Speaker 1: I believe a response to the question when a Simpson's
20:05
Speaker 1: going to go to Antarctica. They've been to every other
20:07
Speaker 1: continent by now, when's Antarctica happening?
20:10
Speaker 2: Didn't they go there for? They went to Alaska for
20:13
Speaker 2: the movie. That's right, Yes, yes.
20:15
Speaker 1: And so it takes a roundabout way of getting there.
20:18
Speaker 1: So it's basically Butt's feeling really unsatisfied with live, feeling
20:23
Speaker 1: like nothing's going anywhere, there's nothing to look forward to.
20:26
Speaker 1: Ten Yeah, and also by this point he's won an oscar,
20:31
Speaker 1: but we'll get to that. Ah, I think I'm spoiling
20:37
Speaker 1: a season twenty two episode anyway.
20:39
Speaker 2: Anyway, if you're a fan of everything we do here

Speaker 1: So the Simpsons family find out about this cruise and
21:12
Speaker 1: they go on a crew And have you ever been
21:14
Speaker 1: on a cruise?
21:15
Speaker 2: A cruise? No, I've been on a charter boat and
21:18
Speaker 2: it was the most horrific experience of my life. I
21:22
Speaker 2: always tell the story of we were going I believe
21:24
Speaker 2: it was Tasmania. So we're going around to Wineglass Bay.
21:27
Speaker 2: I think that's Tasmania, right, one Glass Bay. Anyway, I'm
21:29
Speaker 2: not sure. It's called wine Glass Bay because they used
21:31
Speaker 2: to murder whales there and the it's shaped like a
21:34
Speaker 2: wine glass and it would fill up red with blood
21:36
Speaker 2: and it's Wineglass Bay. Horrific story anyway, so they were yeah,
21:40
Speaker 2: so we went, we're going near it's like a tourist location,
21:42
Speaker 2: not because of that, but because it's a nice beach
21:44
Speaker 2: and whatnot. And then still murdered whales there that was
21:47
Speaker 2: a long time ago, or dolphins whatever it was. And
21:50
Speaker 2: the boat it was so chopping in the water. And
21:52
Speaker 2: I'm no good with motion. I get motion sickness. You know,
21:54
Speaker 2: I can't I have to be facing forward on a train.
21:57
Speaker 2: I can't even do that. I can't read things in
21:58
Speaker 2: a car. I'm just I get motion sickness. And this
22:01
Speaker 2: was the choppiest thing ever. Remember at one point he
22:04
Speaker 2: goes all right, ladies and gentlemen, I think advice. We
22:06
Speaker 2: sit down, and if we had seat belts, I tead
22:08
Speaker 2: to put them on. I was like, oh shit, oh god.
22:11
Speaker 2: And I remember looking at the front and the boat
22:14
Speaker 2: went up for a bit, stayed there for a while
22:16
Speaker 2: and came down and I was just down the back
22:21
Speaker 2: with Nicholas's dad, Keith they gas. They were handing out
22:23
Speaker 2: these paper bags and it would have been I know,
22:25
Speaker 2: twenty of us in the back just vomiting straight for
22:27
Speaker 2: like half an hour. So that's my experience of being
22:30
Speaker 2: on a boat. So I've been told cruises are much
22:32
Speaker 2: better than that. And my parents recently went on the
22:34
Speaker 2: cruise and they loved it, and the kids want to
22:35
Speaker 2: go on a cruise now. So we've been looking at
22:37
Speaker 2: Disney cruises. I have not dared look at the prices
22:39
Speaker 2: of a Disney cruise yet, but they do look fun. Yeah.
22:42
Speaker 1: Well that was the one recent cruise I did. I
22:45
Speaker 1: did the Disney cruise at the end of twenty twenty three.
22:48
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. All the food was paid for,
22:51
Speaker 1: so that was okay. But then drinks were extra, and
22:54
Speaker 1: they knew they were we were Australians, so I think
22:56
Speaker 1: they chucked up the price a bit, like.
22:58
Speaker 2: Cause you're not buy it, because I think my parents
23:01
Speaker 2: bought an extra thing where you get like ten free
23:03
Speaker 2: drinks a day if you pay the extra bitter whatever.
23:05
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Mostly my brother organized that. Why
23:08
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. Anyway, you had a good time, you
23:10
Speaker 1: got to hang out with Spider Man. Yeah, you got
23:11
Speaker 1: to autograph. Yeah, it was wonderful. You know, they you know,
23:15
Speaker 1: equal stuff for adults and kids to do as well.
23:18
Speaker 1: I was always worried with doing a cruise, especially at
23:20
Speaker 1: Disney Cruise. Is there any gonna be anything for me.
23:22
Speaker 2: To do there?
23:23
Speaker 1: But there was so much and like they're running trivia
23:26
Speaker 1: all the time, and that was a whole lot of
23:29
Speaker 1: fun and like yeah, games of late night parties and
23:31
Speaker 1: stuff for adults, and heaps of bars and tequila and
23:35
Speaker 1: cognac tastings and yeah, we really blackjack.
23:40
Speaker 2: That's on the Bender boat. Yeah.
23:42
Speaker 1: But yeah, So they go on this cruise and they're
23:45
Speaker 1: having that much fun as well. But the cruise has
23:47
Speaker 1: to come to an end, and so but decides to
23:51
Speaker 1: make the holiday go even longer. So this might be
23:54
Speaker 1: an episode that people are not still not ready to
23:56
Speaker 1: watch as well, because part of the early parts of
23:59
Speaker 1: the pandemic was cruise ships were super spreader events.
24:02
Speaker 2: And all that moved on from that pandemic never happened.
24:06
Speaker 2: We're in the post COVID world now. Apologies to everybody
24:08
Speaker 2: who was genuinely affected by the pandemic. That was a joke.
24:11
Speaker 2: I am well aware the pandemic happened, and I'm aware
24:14
Speaker 2: it's horrific, and I'm glad that we have somehow able
24:16
Speaker 2: to move forward slightly.
24:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a rough couple of years there though,
24:20
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I understand why this episode people might
24:22
Speaker 1: not be ready for it, because, yeah, the premise then
24:25
Speaker 1: is Bar gets this DVD of a B grade movie
24:28
Speaker 1: that whether the pandemic breaks out, and he feeds it
24:32
Speaker 1: into the main monitor speaker system of the cruise ship.
24:37
Speaker 1: Yeah it's this actor, but he's selling it as this
24:39
Speaker 1: army general is warning the cruise ship did not come
24:41
Speaker 1: to land because a pandemic is broken up.
24:43
Speaker 2: It's War of the worlds. Yeah, oh yeah, there we go.
24:46
Speaker 2: That wasn't a boat that was just awesome. Wells on
24:48
Speaker 2: the radio saying there's aliens coming. Yeah, that's it.
24:52
Speaker 1: And yeah, then Bart pause chocolate fudge or something on
24:54
Speaker 1: the control deck to then jam the systems as well,
24:57
Speaker 1: so they can't communicate back with land. So yeah, then
25:00
Speaker 1: the cruise keeps going long, but you know, they're running
25:03
Speaker 1: out of food, the boat's getting gross, and you know,
25:07
Speaker 1: the pool's disgusting now, but still having the time of
25:09
Speaker 1: his life.
25:09
Speaker 2: No one else is.
25:11
Speaker 1: But they eventually find out it was Bart's fault, and
25:13
Speaker 1: then they kick the family out at the nearest country,
25:15
Speaker 1: which it turns out to be Antarctica.
25:17
Speaker 2: Oh so that's just the setup premise. Yeah.
25:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, The Simpsons go to Antarctica comprises of about a
25:22
Speaker 1: minute of the last part of the episode.
25:25
Speaker 2: Oh so that I actually go to Antartica to the
25:27
Speaker 2: very end, Yeah, ah, okay, but it's just so they
25:29
Speaker 2: can get out of the way saying we have been
25:30
Speaker 2: to Antartica.
25:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that's part of the response of
25:33
Speaker 1: this is why they haven't done a Simpsons go to
25:35
Speaker 1: Antarctic because there's not much there.
25:37
Speaker 2: Didn't every one say the Simpsons are going to Antartica
25:40
Speaker 2: next year? Is Antartigo or he says that maybe Delaware
25:44
Speaker 2: or what.
25:44
Speaker 1: I feel like they've done that joke as well, and
25:46
Speaker 1: I still feel like Delaware is the funniest possible geography
25:49
Speaker 1: place name you could possibly pick.
25:51
Speaker 2: For this is where comes into to play.
25:53
Speaker 1: I know, I was just talking with a friend the
25:56
Speaker 1: other day, how annoying it is. We don't have Frinkiak
25:58
Speaker 1: for more shows.
26:00
Speaker 2: By the way, he's blaming on Lisa. Season thirteen been
26:03
Speaker 2: everywhere except Antarctica. The Simpsons are going to Antarctica next
26:06
Speaker 2: year was actually ten years later.
26:09
Speaker 1: Oh blame it on the Lisa. Okay, that one would
26:11
Speaker 1: have made it onto my not so great list.
26:14
Speaker 2: That's the Brazil one, right. Yeah, I've never really minded that,
26:17
Speaker 2: but you know what that is. I think it's just
26:19
Speaker 2: a nostalgia things I remember watching when it was on,
26:22
Speaker 2: and I was still a fan that Simpsons at that
26:23
Speaker 2: point in time. But I going back and revisiting it,
26:27
Speaker 2: it's a bit wacky, but I remember not minding Homer
26:31
Speaker 2: with the people holding him hostage.
26:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Stockholm syndrome of it is very very funny,
26:37
Speaker 1: and in fact that book and saves the cigarette that
26:40
Speaker 1: he got burned with.
26:41
Speaker 2: That's all very endearing and stuff. And it's just the
26:44
Speaker 2: little boy and there's the woman with the tassels and whatnot. Yeah. Yeah, anyway,
26:48
Speaker 2: so that the episode sounds good. So that episode from
26:50
Speaker 2: season twenty three, episode nineteen, it is a totally fun
26:53
Speaker 2: thing that but will never do again. I'm going to
26:55
Speaker 2: check it out when we get to it. Let's go
26:59
Speaker 2: to a more classic one. I was gonna put this
27:01
Speaker 2: on my list as well. I wasn't sure, but this
27:04
Speaker 2: was a vacation one or not. I guess it is
27:05
Speaker 2: because they said we're going there. It's the city of
27:07
Speaker 2: New York versus Homer Simpson. Yeah. This is one of
27:10
Speaker 2: those ones that I think everyone thinks came a lot
27:13
Speaker 2: earlier in the show's run than what it actually did.
27:15
Speaker 2: It was the premiere of season nine, and people always
27:19
Speaker 2: season one to nine is the best one. But I
27:21
Speaker 2: just feel like this episode here just feels mid gold
27:23
Speaker 2: near it. It just feels like a season seven ish kind
27:25
Speaker 2: of episode, don't you think. But just the overall story
27:28
Speaker 2: is just I still to this day quote Homer going
27:31
Speaker 2: almost I love that visual. Obviously, it's the episode that
27:36
Speaker 2: still has the World Trade Centers in it. So I
27:38
Speaker 2: don't know whether they actually replay this episode anymore, and
27:41
Speaker 2: if there was a while where they weren't airing this
27:42
Speaker 2: one and reruns. Reruns still a thing Australia for the
27:47
Speaker 2: Simpsons anyway, they're only on Disney. Plus, it's got that
27:49
Speaker 2: innocence to it where the World Trade Centers are still there.
27:51
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when I watch Home Alone Too
27:52
Speaker 2: and he goes to the top of the World Trade
27:54
Speaker 2: Center and I go, oh, yeah, we can't forget that
27:56
Speaker 2: they existed. I prefer to still include this stuff, and
27:59
Speaker 2: it's thought that they should be rerunning these episodes with
28:01
Speaker 2: the World Trade Centers. Don't try and edit them out,
28:03
Speaker 2: because that's doing a disservice to the people who worked there,
28:06
Speaker 2: the people who passed away in the tragic events. Remind
28:09
Speaker 2: people these things were here. They're not here anymore, but
28:10
Speaker 2: they were part of our history. So I always have
28:14
Speaker 2: that little ah whenever I see home at the World
28:16
Speaker 2: Trade Centers as well.
28:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole cigarettes in movies thing where we want
28:22
Speaker 1: to move past it and having them so prominent, but
28:25
Speaker 1: also we don't want to go back and erase it
28:27
Speaker 1: from the old movies because there's some like iconic moments
28:30
Speaker 1: and you know, certainly with New York as well, it's
28:33
Speaker 1: part of the never forget, you know, keep it in
28:35
Speaker 1: the skyline and it doesn't it lead to some unfortunate
28:38
Speaker 1: things like Yeah, in this episode, when Bart's holding up
28:41
Speaker 1: the bust voucher thing and it says nine dollars and
28:44
Speaker 1: it has the World Trade Center right next to it,
28:45
Speaker 1: and a.
28:46
Speaker 2: Lot of the odds.
28:48
Speaker 1: What are the well, I mean, they predict everything. So
28:51
Speaker 1: they had their crystal ball out when they were reviewing
28:53
Speaker 1: of writing that one.
28:54
Speaker 2: That's on of those ones where you look at it
28:55
Speaker 2: and go a shit.
28:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, also on the Starring Springfield, we
29:02
Speaker 1: reviewed the nineteen ninety three Super Mario Brothers.
29:04
Speaker 2: Movie which Luigi Luigi.
29:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, which this one stretches our definition of starring on
29:11
Speaker 1: Starring Springfield because Dan Castell get Dan Castellnetta does the
29:16
Speaker 1: opening narration of that movie and that's it. That's how
29:18
Speaker 1: Simpson's guy for that movie.
29:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:21
Speaker 1: But in the climax of that movie, part of it
29:24
Speaker 1: is King Cooper destroying or phasing out the World Trade
29:28
Speaker 1: Center to another dimension or something like that. Yeah, part
29:33
Speaker 1: of these things that change in hindsight.
29:36
Speaker 2: Now I have the Super Mario three Deluxe box set
29:38
Speaker 2: from our friends at four fig discount from um brother Entertainment.
29:41
Speaker 2: They really just kick ass, like brick of a box
29:43
Speaker 2: set for the Super Mario's ninety three film Awesome.
29:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a fun review. That is such a
29:50
Speaker 1: wild and weird movie and like no wonder Nintendo got
29:53
Speaker 1: turned off from working with movie studios for many years after.
29:57
Speaker 2: Let's go to Itchy and Scratchy Land cat' mouse right,
30:00
Speaker 2: So this is always in the list of most iconic
30:04
Speaker 2: Simpsons episodes of all time. It's just there are so
30:07
Speaker 2: many jokes in this episode. It's hard to sort of
30:09
Speaker 2: keep up, isn't it. It feels like it almost feels like
30:11
Speaker 2: a Conan O'Brien episode, don't you think, Yeah.
30:14
Speaker 1: This is a John swartzworld.
30:15
Speaker 2: It definitely feels like a Swartzwater O'Brien. Yeah.
30:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, just talking about subverting the tropes. And the
30:24
Speaker 1: family goes to a vacation theme park or whatever. And
30:28
Speaker 1: I feel like, especially when you look at like Sitcom's
30:32
Speaker 1: like Modern Family, for instance, when they go to Disneyland.
30:35
Speaker 1: I love the show, but that one is just so
30:38
Speaker 1: obviously a paid tie in sponsorship where they can't have
30:42
Speaker 1: fun at the theme park's expense. And you know, because
30:45
Speaker 1: this one, you know, they're not trying to please anyone.
30:47
Speaker 1: There's no real Lichy and Scratchy Land, and they can
30:50
Speaker 1: have all these jokes which comment on the theme park
30:53
Speaker 1: experience and and yeah, have this subversive thing of the
30:57
Speaker 1: Sitcom family not having a great time and it turns
31:00
Speaker 1: into a bloody West World reference.
31:03
Speaker 2: Yes, it's oh good, But there's there's so many iconic
31:08
Speaker 2: quotes from this one. So yeah, the one that I
31:11
Speaker 2: still again another quote that I used every time I
31:14
Speaker 2: park my car. Remember we're in the ITCHI lot. Do
31:17
Speaker 2: you say it as well? I say nearly every time. Yeah,
31:21
Speaker 2: I remember I put this episode on for the kids,
31:23
Speaker 2: and I kind of regret it because it's very very
31:25
Speaker 2: violent towards the end with the blood and whatnot. But
31:28
Speaker 2: I always said when the women leave the car, and
31:29
Speaker 2: when the kids watched that went, ah, that's what you say.
31:32
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, but remember it, like we've got
31:36
Speaker 2: that possible yep, possibly go wrong? And what was the
31:40
Speaker 2: dry call?
31:40
Speaker 1: Wit like that I could be an action hero, Yes,
31:43
Speaker 1: and I hope was saying that the end bar just
31:45
Speaker 1: cuts him off.
31:46
Speaker 2: Yes. Bought the bought license.
31:48
Speaker 1: Plate and still something to this day, like, I'm sure
31:52
Speaker 1: you've been to one of the Simpsons World theme parks.
31:55
Speaker 2: I was about to say, yeah, yeah, so.
31:56
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the same for you,
31:58
Speaker 1: But they don't have the boat license plate.
31:59
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird.
32:00
Speaker 1: They have your name on things, but it's Quickie mark
32:02
Speaker 1: name tags. And the bought one was it was empty,
32:07
Speaker 1: it was gone. And we went up and asked do
32:09
Speaker 1: you have any of those bought ones? And they like,
32:11
Speaker 1: actually have a big giant bag full of them. It's
32:13
Speaker 1: just as a joke in the park, they keep them empty. Yeah,
32:17
Speaker 1: which I think is great, excellent because you have to
32:22
Speaker 1: genuinely ask for a bought one if you want one,
32:24
Speaker 1: it's just.
32:24
Speaker 2: Just because you look at it. So many people would
32:26
Speaker 2: be too scared to ask, thinking, oh, I'm gonna be
32:28
Speaker 2: that person. They're gonna make fun of me. They think think, oh, yeah,
32:30
Speaker 2: i've knowd that one before. No, they want you to
32:32
Speaker 2: say it yeah and yeah.
32:34
Speaker 1: For so many people, like they've got to be pissed
32:36
Speaker 1: finding that out after because they're like, oh, yeah, of
32:37
Speaker 1: course that one sold out fair enough, because I've got one.
32:41
Speaker 1: It's part of the gag. It's oh good.
32:43
Speaker 2: The problem is I got a it wasn't a license plate.
32:45
Speaker 2: It was a key chain. Oh yeah, and it was
32:48
Speaker 2: It's like Barton Krustock riding the ride, the Simpsons ride.
32:51
Speaker 2: So I've got a bought key chain and a bought
32:53
Speaker 2: license plate. So I'm kind of disappointed about that. I
32:55
Speaker 2: did hear that they're going to be removing the Simpsons World.
32:59
Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, well, it's a Disney property now.
33:01
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe the light the contract's finished, I'm not
33:04
Speaker 2: too sure. But because Universal has just expanded huge, open
33:07
Speaker 2: up a whole new park in Florida. It opens up
33:10
Speaker 2: this year. Actually yeah, it's University. Got a Universal Monsters
33:14
Speaker 2: area now is how training drag a? Nintendo World's opening up,
33:17
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's going to be just expanding. I guess
33:19
Speaker 2: the Simpsons ride's making way, which is sad because there
33:21
Speaker 2: needs to be a springfield somewhere. But I guess I
33:23
Speaker 2: need to just put it at Disneyland.
33:24
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, you'd hope, so maybe controversial opinion. I don't
33:28
Speaker 1: like the Simpsons ride.
33:30
Speaker 2: I thought it was, I.
33:32
Speaker 1: Don't know, just one of these three D ride experiences
33:35
Speaker 1: that's always the same thing. Oh we're on the ride up,
33:38
Speaker 1: things are going wrong and then it's just a bombardment
33:42
Speaker 1: of Simpson's references and I'm just in this thing that's
33:45
Speaker 1: shaking and I'm like, I want to get up.
33:48
Speaker 2: Well, we went through a phase about ten to fifteen
33:50
Speaker 2: years ago where everything is like, oh my god, it's
33:52
Speaker 2: like a virtual reality ride. I hate them, As I said,
33:55
Speaker 2: I get motion sick, so I despise those rides right,
33:58
Speaker 2: And I remember when I went on there, the girl
34:01
Speaker 2: at the line said, does anyone get motion sickness, and
34:03
Speaker 2: I said, yes, she goes, make sure you sit up
34:05
Speaker 2: the front. I was like, okay, So I did. And
34:07
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed the ride, you know, because it's one
34:09
Speaker 2: of those ones where it's like you in like a
34:11
Speaker 2: sphere almost, and it's sort of all the way around,
34:13
Speaker 2: like a full one a eighty kind of yeah, and
34:15
Speaker 2: just felt very immersive. The next time I went on it,
34:18
Speaker 2: I got put at the back and I was like, oh,
34:19
Speaker 2: I'll be fine now. The reason they say that because
34:21
Speaker 2: when you're on the back row, the way the ride
34:24
Speaker 2: is built, it's like a roller coaster ride. To get
34:27
Speaker 2: the walls on the side, you can't see the whole thing.
34:29
Speaker 2: You can't see the sides, so when things are suddenly
34:31
Speaker 2: banging into you and you can't see it coming you,
34:34
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you just jerking into the left
34:35
Speaker 2: and jerking to the right. And I felt so sick
34:38
Speaker 2: after going on the Simpsons ride the second time. It
34:40
Speaker 2: looks such a bad taste in my mouth. But you're right, though,
34:42
Speaker 2: we needed like a Simpsons roller coaster or something like that,
34:45
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, not just a virtual reality
34:47
Speaker 2: or I get itcau. It's an animated cartoon. You kind
34:49
Speaker 2: of have to do that. I get why they did it,
34:51
Speaker 2: particularly when they did it as well. There's so many
34:53
Speaker 2: of those rides coming out, but I think we need
34:55
Speaker 2: to sort of just get back to Can we not
34:56
Speaker 2: just get on a ride and be taken for a
34:59
Speaker 2: few thrills and just get off the ride. We don't
35:01
Speaker 2: have to sort of sit in this watch this screen.
35:03
Speaker 2: I want to get away. Look, we spend so much
35:05
Speaker 2: of our lives in front of a screen. I want
35:06
Speaker 2: to go to a thing butuck and get away from
35:08
Speaker 2: the screens. Yeah.
35:09
Speaker 1: Well, I think Simpson's World. I think the Simpson's Ride
35:12
Speaker 1: for me was at least the least interesting part. It's
35:15
Speaker 1: just it was so cool, like how they built out
35:17
Speaker 1: Springfield and all the different restaurants with all the catered
35:21
Speaker 1: food to the characters and all that.
35:24
Speaker 2: But did you go to Hollywood or did you go
35:25
Speaker 2: to Orlando? I've been to both.
35:28
Speaker 1: I've definitely been to Florida. I might have been to California,
35:31
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
35:32
Speaker 2: Florida doesn't have the strip like Hollywood does. Hollywood has
35:36
Speaker 2: like you're walking down the Aztec Theater. It's got everything.
35:38
Speaker 2: It's it's like you're walking down the streets of Springfield
35:41
Speaker 2: where Flora doesn't have that. It's just got various sort
35:43
Speaker 2: of it's got the Quickie Mart, and it's got most tavern.
35:45
Speaker 2: But in Hollywood, it actually feels like you're walking through
35:49
Speaker 2: a street of Springfield. Yeah.
35:51
Speaker 1: I can't quite remember, because yeah, those holidays pretty close together,
35:56
Speaker 1: and they kind of elements of Florida and California kind
35:59
Speaker 1: of blur in my memory now. But yeah, still a
36:01
Speaker 1: hot vacation spot. It seems like a timed experience now,
36:05
Speaker 1: so if you can get to it, yeah, definitely get
36:07
Speaker 1: to a Simpson's World or yeah.
36:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Itching scratchy Land great, just because, as you said,
36:12
Speaker 2: they were able to take the Mickey out of It's
36:14
Speaker 2: taken me out of Disneyland. You know. That's that's what
36:16
Speaker 2: they're targetting here, because they even have euro Itching scratchy Land,
36:20
Speaker 2: which is Disneyland Paris, which is We got there and
36:23
Speaker 2: I was like, that was my first experience of going
36:24
Speaker 2: to a Disneyland. I got there, I went this is Disneyland.
36:27
Speaker 2: Yeah what is this now?
36:31
Speaker 1: Even I recently went to Japan and I had a
36:34
Speaker 1: similar experience. It's like, oh, these are the elements they
36:36
Speaker 1: choose to focus on because they have the rights to
36:39
Speaker 1: it all, but it's not governed by Disney or anything.
36:41
Speaker 1: They're allowed to just do their own thing with it.
36:44
Speaker 1: And so there's things like they still have Splash Mountain,
36:47
Speaker 1: and they still have Jungle Cruise with that bit in it.
36:50
Speaker 2: Don't They have the Jaws right as well, still.
36:53
Speaker 1: That universal they have a whole Amityville section that's on.
36:57
Speaker 2: A go there, because that's one of my I hate
37:00
Speaker 2: the fact that that Jaws was gone by the time
37:02
Speaker 2: I got to Florida. The voicing. Ah, I mean, it
37:04
Speaker 2: looks it looks like a basic ride, but it's just
37:06
Speaker 2: fucking cool man, it's the Jaws ride. Yeah.
37:09
Speaker 1: Oh the Jaws ride at Japan was so fun because yeah,
37:12
Speaker 1: usually in those because basically the ride is you're on
37:15
Speaker 1: a boat that goes it does a little circuit, but
37:19
Speaker 1: things go wrong and you know your tour guide is
37:21
Speaker 1: having to fight off a shark. But when you're going
37:24
Speaker 1: through one of these in an English speaking park, a
37:27
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff is telegraphed. Because our tour guide
37:29
Speaker 1: was speaking Japanese. For me and my girlfriend, there was
37:32
Speaker 1: like a genuine sense of fear. We didn't know what
37:36
Speaker 1: was happening, and when the sharks would come out of
37:40
Speaker 1: the water, genuine.
37:41
Speaker 2: Scares from us. That's amazing.
37:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much fun, and yeah, just bring it back
37:47
Speaker 1: to Witchy and Scratchy Land as well. Yeah, we are
37:49
Speaker 1: way more fun in the line for the Simpsons ride
37:51
Speaker 1: because yeah, that were showing clips from Michie and Scratchy Land.
37:54
Speaker 1: We were like, do they want to be setting up
37:56
Speaker 1: this expectation while we're in their park? You know, chic
38:00
Speaker 1: it's pretty horribly wrong in Itch and Scratchy Land. But no,
38:03
Speaker 1: that was great. They had clips from the show when
38:04
Speaker 1: they're vacation episodes playing while you're in the line, and
38:07
Speaker 1: they have specifically made content for the Simpsons world, which
38:11
Speaker 1: is pretty funny as well. Yeah, we had a great time.
38:13
Speaker 2: Yes, now an episode that this is from about season twelve,
38:17
Speaker 2: I want to say, maybe a little bit later you've
38:19
Speaker 2: got on the list. Here is how I spent my
38:20
Speaker 2: Stromer vacation. I'm glad you threw this one out there
38:22
Speaker 2: because I was going to include it as well. I've
38:24
Speaker 2: always loved this. I particularly think this is one where
38:27
Speaker 2: I feel like they just did an amazing job of
38:29
Speaker 2: incorporating guest stars playing themselves because sometimes I say in
38:34
Speaker 2: the podcast that I prefer it when a guest star
38:37
Speaker 2: plays somebody who's not themselves, because how often do you find,
38:40
Speaker 2: now you've reviewed these episodes season nineteen or it's just
38:43
Speaker 2: a teen year, they go, hey, it's Britney Spears. Hey,
38:46
Speaker 2: we're telling you who it is, as it to say, hey,
38:49
Speaker 2: look who we have this week. When in the early
38:51
Speaker 2: episode doing in Springfield, yeah where a lot of the
38:53
Speaker 2: early episodes they would have a guest star and they'd
38:55
Speaker 2: play a character like Meryl Street plays Jessica love Joy.
39:02
Speaker 2: You have Dustin Hoffman playing mister name, mister mister Bergstrom,
39:06
Speaker 2: that's from mister Bergstrom. So and he didn't even have
39:08
Speaker 2: uses your name in the credits. What was it, samitic
39:10
Speaker 2: I think he used that, Yeah, But so I like
39:13
Speaker 2: it when they use the guest sometimes it works, but
39:15
Speaker 2: I prefer when I use the guest stars as a character.
39:17
Speaker 2: This one here though, when you've got the Rolling Stones
39:20
Speaker 2: and Lenny Kravitz and Tom Penny whatnot, you don't have
39:22
Speaker 2: them play somebody else. They're the Rolling Stones, you know
39:25
Speaker 2: what I mean? You have to And I thought having
39:27
Speaker 2: them at a rock camp sometimes they can feel shoehorned
39:30
Speaker 2: in the guest appearance, but this one felt like it
39:32
Speaker 2: just worked for me, just seeing all the men of
39:35
Speaker 2: Springfield getting to just really their youth again and feel
39:38
Speaker 2: like rock stars. Even it's just a camp, but I
39:40
Speaker 2: just really really enjoyed it. And just Jagger's dynamic with
39:43
Speaker 2: Dan as Homer, I thought was really funny throughout.
39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, just Jagger and Keith Richards as the camp leaders, Yeah,
39:49
Speaker 1: so wonderful. Like the other four are kind of a
39:52
Speaker 1: bit more superfluous and kindly get to or three lines
39:55
Speaker 1: for the whole episode, but there's such welcome additions to
39:58
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And Yeah, really builds out this world,
40:01
Speaker 1: which is kind of a thing. I don't know if
40:04
Speaker 1: you know the musician Kip Winger, but he was an
40:07
Speaker 1: eighties rock and roll star of the band Winger, and
40:11
Speaker 1: he runs these sort of camps or day events and
40:13
Speaker 1: things like that. Yeah, good midlife blokes a taste of
40:19
Speaker 1: what it's like living the rock star life.
40:21
Speaker 2: It's like a comic con for men who don't like
40:23
Speaker 2: nerd shit. It's for men who liked eighties haird metal.
40:25
Speaker 2: It's like this is their version of a comic con.
40:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly for me as a big rock and
40:30
Speaker 1: roll fan. You know, I'm a bass player, and yeah,
40:32
Speaker 1: this is my type of music. Sort of seeing this
40:35
Speaker 1: as I'm like a teenager and getting into these sort
40:38
Speaker 1: of bands.
40:38
Speaker 2: This was just so cool.
40:40
Speaker 1: This is my world's colliding, and I'm having a lot
40:42
Speaker 1: of fun with it. Yeah, I know, going back to it,
40:44
Speaker 1: and it's such a goofy episode, but it is so
40:47
Speaker 1: persistently fun throughout it is. Yeah, it even defies expectations where, yeah,
40:53
Speaker 1: it starts out with Homer again very off the time,
40:55
Speaker 1: being on a taxi cab confessional show and instead of
40:59
Speaker 1: it into where the family hates Homer and resents him story,
41:02
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you need a break.
41:04
Speaker 2: Guy, because you know what, because he didn't know he
41:07
Speaker 2: was being filmed then, and I think that would have
41:09
Speaker 2: made them come across really poorly if they judged him
41:13
Speaker 2: for being open in a moment where he didn't realize
41:16
Speaker 2: you he was being seen.
41:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just one of these moments where that first
41:21
Speaker 1: act fuck you, the you know, absolute left turn on
41:23
Speaker 1: the story really works because it gives the episode such
41:28
Speaker 1: momentum and drive to from scene to scene to scene.
41:32
Speaker 1: And yeah, even though the final rock concert. Thing gets
41:35
Speaker 1: very wacky with the band chasing around Homer on a
41:38
Speaker 1: fire shooting devil Head.
41:40
Speaker 2: You have earned that moment. By the end, you have
41:42
Speaker 2: exactly right. And I'm glad you brought that about the
41:45
Speaker 2: intro as well, because and what you think about the more,
41:46
Speaker 2: I really actually appreciate it, because it's okay to be
41:50
Speaker 2: unhappy with things. It doesn't mean you dislike your life.
41:52
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you dislike your family. But you know,
41:55
Speaker 2: everyone has grievances. Everyone has sometimes they just need to
41:57
Speaker 2: vent things, get things off their chest. Homer got that moment,
42:00
Speaker 2: and as he said, I'm really glad that they didn't
42:02
Speaker 2: hold him accountable for having emotions and having feelings about things.
42:05
Speaker 2: He's allowed to feel things, you know.
42:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, fully, And I'm just realizing, you know, you can
42:10
Speaker 1: build a playlist out of this as well. Homer not
42:12
Speaker 1: wanting this vacation to end, but not wanting the other
42:15
Speaker 1: vacation to end.
42:16
Speaker 2: It's almost like they have a template. Yeah, if you're

42:52
Speaker 1: from everybody got to fix the window sills, Winter's Coming.
42:56
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've seen the extras as
42:58
Speaker 1: well with the interviews of the rock stars, it's just
43:02
Speaker 1: this really funny moment where they're interviewing Jagger and they're
43:04
Speaker 1: like asking him, oh, so did you always want to
43:06
Speaker 1: be on The Simpsons And he goes, Oh, not really,
43:09
Speaker 1: It's just it got offered to me and my kids
43:11
Speaker 1: said I had to do it, so I did it.
43:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always liked the scene, and I wish they
43:16
Speaker 2: did more of this because one of those ones that's
43:18
Speaker 2: memorable for me because you see them doing the acting
43:20
Speaker 2: in the studio and the credits, right, They needed to
43:23
Speaker 2: do that more often. Yeah, show us or at least
43:27
Speaker 2: make that footage available because they must have. They must
43:30
Speaker 2: have filmed all the guest stars being on the show.
43:32
Speaker 2: I mean, why would they not, and even just the
43:35
Speaker 2: cast recording the show. To me, even to this day,
43:37
Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty five, The Simpsons arguably the most iconic
43:40
Speaker 2: TV show of all time. There's no good, real deep
43:44
Speaker 2: dive documentary about the show, and it astounds me. I
43:48
Speaker 2: feel like they could do a Netflix no ten part
43:51
Speaker 2: series on this show, or Disney Plus ten part series
43:54
Speaker 2: on the show, really showing home video footage showing how
43:58
Speaker 2: the show came to be, really show the nitty and goody.
44:01
Speaker 2: It's almost like The Simpsons because people aren't as well
44:06
Speaker 2: as well received as it used to be the show. Obviously,
44:08
Speaker 2: people are always saying, oh, it's no good blah blah blah.
44:10
Speaker 2: It's almost like they forgot that people. How much people
44:13
Speaker 2: cared in the nineties about this show. How Disney plus
44:16
Speaker 2: I've not put together something yet is beyond me. I'm
44:18
Speaker 2: sure they will at some point. But have you always
44:21
Speaker 2: wanted to see the cast acting the show? Because sometimes
44:23
Speaker 2: you see little clips here and there on news snippets
44:27
Speaker 2: or whatever, like a five minute little doco. Things that
44:30
Speaker 2: you put on in between episodes and whatnot, and you
44:32
Speaker 2: see Harry Sheer acting out as Smithers and Burns and whatnot,
44:34
Speaker 2: and you think, I want to see this. I want
44:36
Speaker 2: to see more of this. Why hasn't isn't it been released?
44:39
Speaker 2: Because it must be out there. I know they always
44:40
Speaker 2: bring up that there's two hours of audio of edited
44:43
Speaker 2: at audio of our books as Hank Scorpio at least
44:46
Speaker 2: that shit, Why is that not out? Why is that
44:48
Speaker 2: not available? To me? It astounds me.
44:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's I mean there's a lot on the
44:52
Speaker 1: DVD's fortunately, and you know over at our Patreon we're
44:55
Speaker 1: reviewing the DVD extras and there's so much cool stuff
44:59
Speaker 1: that even they could have expanded more on them. I
45:01
Speaker 1: think it is in in Season thirteen box set as well.
45:04
Speaker 1: They have this feature on our clawson who's scoring the
45:07
Speaker 1: music and stuff like that, And that was this ten
45:09
Speaker 1: minute thing that we're like, this could be an hour.
45:11
Speaker 1: That was so fascinating, and yeah, Disney, I'll want to
45:15
Speaker 1: do a documentary or two on the properties that they own,
45:18
Speaker 1: like the Marvel and Star Wars movies have lots of
45:22
Speaker 1: making obvious on that. So it was actually very helpful
45:24
Speaker 1: recently because we reviewed Star Wars episode for a new
45:28
Speaker 1: hope because it has Harry Shearer in it. I don't
45:31
Speaker 1: know if you knew that. No, he is not even credited.
45:35
Speaker 1: It's additional voices. He is actually the guard standing opposite
45:40
Speaker 1: Darth Vader when Darth Vader says a sense of presence,
45:43
Speaker 1: a presence I've not felt since. Yeah, he's talking to
45:47
Speaker 1: a guard that's been a adr voice replaced by Harry Shearer.
45:51
Speaker 2: Woll See. We had on Jim Show a guy called
45:53
Speaker 2: Terry McGovern who voiced launch Pad and mcquack. I think
45:56
Speaker 2: his name is. Who is the awesome partner of Duckwin
45:59
Speaker 2: duck right, and he was He's also the guy missusdoubt fire.
46:04
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you know missus doubt fire. Right. Here's the
46:07
Speaker 2: guy at the start who fires Robin. Oh, yes, he's
46:11
Speaker 2: that guy there, right, But he just suddenly just like
46:15
Speaker 2: dropped in the podcast like it was no big deal.
46:16
Speaker 2: And I think he actually thought it was a big deal.
46:18
Speaker 2: Just sort of I've moved on. He's the guy that
46:19
Speaker 2: says we don't need to see your identification. He's that
46:23
Speaker 2: stormtrooper and I'm like, what what? And he's like, yeah, yeah,
46:27
Speaker 2: they just they I didn't know what I was recording.
46:29
Speaker 2: I was just, you know, given this bit of dialogue
46:30
Speaker 2: and said, he goes, I'm the voice of the Stormtroopers.
46:33
Speaker 2: I'm like, you are not. And it turns out Terry
46:36
Speaker 2: McGovern is the voice of the fucking Stormtroopers.
46:40
Speaker 1: Crazy is that?
46:41
Speaker 2: He goes, I was just recording this audio for just
46:43
Speaker 2: you know, this this new sci fi movie and what
46:45
Speaker 2: it was, and then just that was it. And I've
46:47
Speaker 2: got no, I guess, no, no royalties for it because
46:49
Speaker 2: it was just a one and done gig. Here's the
46:51
Speaker 2: voice of the fucking Stormtroopers and he gets no royalties
46:53
Speaker 2: for it. Isn't that insane?
46:55
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think the we're gonna be like discovering
46:58
Speaker 1: this a lot because a lot of these voice actors
47:01
Speaker 1: back then it wasn't as round upon to take non
47:04
Speaker 1: union gigs, you know. And I'm sure that's what it
47:06
Speaker 1: would have been the case for Harry Shearer. He probably
47:09
Speaker 1: just got paid a one time fee to read some
47:10
Speaker 1: stuff for this movie.
47:11
Speaker 2: Probably won't be anything. He's probably read.
47:14
Speaker 1: Stuff for hundreds of movies that never went anywhere or
47:17
Speaker 1: did anything or invaded the culture and the way that
47:20
Speaker 1: Star Wars has and yeah, we just get these fascinating
47:24
Speaker 1: discoveries many years later.
47:28
Speaker 2: Again, there's a couple episodes on this list here right,
47:30
Speaker 2: that are really and it's ones that people probably sitting
47:33
Speaker 2: home going it's the vacation episode. Why we're not talking
47:36
Speaker 2: about this one? And the other one is you from Australia?
47:38
Speaker 2: Why are you talking about this one? Yeah? The thing
47:41
Speaker 2: is though it's school holidays a moment, I've got the
47:43
Speaker 2: kids here, So I think this needs to be a
47:44
Speaker 2: two partter. Would you be okay for this to be
47:46
Speaker 2: a two parter? Yeah, yeah, let's do it. So there's
47:49
Speaker 2: episodes here that we're going to touch in Part two
47:51
Speaker 2: has been part one of the best and worst vacation episodes.
47:54
Speaker 2: But of course, as you may have known from the
47:56
Speaker 2: hints that A dropped, there's a couple of more notable
47:58
Speaker 2: ones are gonna getting the list. Plus there's a lot
48:00
Speaker 2: here of ones that I'm not quite sure about, plus
48:02
Speaker 2: some other favorites of course, But there's something that I'm
48:04
Speaker 2: really interested. What am I do is I might actually
48:06
Speaker 2: just watch these ones so I can actually give my
48:08
Speaker 2: proper thoughts on it, because you've given me sent this listen,
48:10
Speaker 2: I've gone there's a lot more here that I haven't
48:12
Speaker 2: seen than I have. So I'm going to revisit these
48:15
Speaker 2: and we'll come back for part two and we'll dive
48:17
Speaker 2: into them. What do you think sounds great?
48:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give a little tease for Bart versus Australia.
48:23
Speaker 2: Rode Above's Australia Summer of four foot two is gonna
48:28
Speaker 2: be another one. Homo Poloza were throwing the list as well,
48:30
Speaker 2: getting into Homo Paluzer. But let us know in the comments.
48:32
Speaker 2: What are some of your favorite Simpsons vacation episodes that
48:35
Speaker 2: we haven't included in this one in particular, And if
48:38
Speaker 2: there's ones from like later years as well that we
48:40
Speaker 2: should probably revis Well, you've seen them all. I haven't
48:42
