So It's Come To This: A Simpson's Family Podcast

It's Spoopy Season so you know what that means, it's time for another Treehouse of Horror episode. We goa all the way back to 2001 to take a look at the 12th offering which starts off with Homer getting cursed. Then it's time for a story about an AI house that goes rogue which is a lot more scary now then it was back in 2001. The final segment shows us what life would be like if the Simpsons universe combined with Harry Potter. Treehouse of Horrors are some of our favorite episodes so check this one out to see what...

This one is a a Cori pick that came solely from a single joke and turned out to be quite a fun episode that shows what happens when Bart feels neglected by Homer and finds a new father figure. Homer of course retaliates and hilarity ensues!

It's back to school time and what better way to celebrate thane taking a look at what happens when Homer is forced to to go back to school once it is found out that he is grossly underqualified for his job. Along the way we meet some nerds, a crusty old Dean, a beloved and well connected mascot and see a little slice of campus life at Springfield University. So bring out those new school supplies and join us for this absolute classic from Season 4.

We also talk about:

- A new...

In this episode Krusty embraces his faith and rekindles the relationship with his father. We were very impreseed how this episode mixed kept the classic Simpsons humor but didn't shy away from incorporating religious dogma as well. We have a much greater appreciation for this episode now then we saw it all of those years ago so give it a listen to hear our thoughts.

We also talk about:

- Sad cat content

- Podcast host threats or maybe it's just a fever dream

- Monkey Civil War...

Patrick picked one of his favorites and we asked our niece Anora to join us to get a younger perspective on this fan favorite episode.

The Super Bowl may be long past but Cori picked an episode with a football title that actually had little to do about football. Surprisingly enough it was oddly relevant to this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show. Who knew? This one takes two seemingly unrelated stories and smashes them together while making sure to get a ton of sports celebrity appearances crammed in as well, for good measure. Go give it a listen, because hey what else are you doing?

We also discuss:

- New and creative ways to greet our fellow...

After a long hiatus (stupid scheduling conflicts) we're finally back and we're bringing you this bizarrely insane offering form the Simpsons that looks at early internet culture as well as what happens to Homer when he learns too much. We didn't realize it was a parody of the television show "The Prisoner" so once we knew that we felt a little different about this one. So come along and join us on this wild ride! We also discuss:

- A Bills rant

- Absurd literary references

- The return of News and Views?<...

For this episode we went back to this classic from the golden era of the Simpsons. It's not only our 123rd episode but also the 123rd episode of The Simpsons (we swear it was a total coincidence). Santa's Little Helper becomes of father to not one, not two but 2 dozen and one greyhounds. Join us for this really fun one, we really like the vest! And don't forget our standard nonsense which includes the following:

- Cori's tired

- Shouting out all the Mikes

- Hollywood's Don Johnson and his old man strength<...

Happy Halloween everyone! For a spooky episode such as this we invited our pals and some of the biggest horror fans we know, from the Bogeyman's Closet podcast Mike Alvarez and Artist Taramarie McCoy. We decided to mix things up a bit this year and instead of covering another Treehouse of Horror we took a look at an eerie Halloween story that occurs in the daily life of our favorite family. We also discuss the following:

- A visit from Ghosty the ghost of podcasts past

- Bad Bunny future guest of...

This might be a more recent episode but don't let that discourage you because this is a really good one! Marge is having a hard time dealing with the kids growing up and oh boy can can we relate! Come along as we compare our experiences with Marge's and break down this episode that pulls at the heart strings.

Not wanting to deal with the fact that summer is coming to an end, well let us hit you with some nostalgic warm weather vibes as we take you to Kamp Krusty.

- Establishing new nicknames

- Being sustinkt

- Cori sending the show off the rails and not for the reason...

On this episode we take a look at an absolute classic that is a bit of a departure as it is a bit more dramatic than others we are used to. Miss Hoover has Lyme Disease which brings a new teacher to Springfield Elementary and one that Lisa becomes quite enamored with. While this is going on Bart takes a run at Class President. We had a blast breaking this one down and we hope that you have just as much fun listening to it!

* Please note that there was a slight audio glitch shortly after the...

In this episode we welcome our friend and artist, in every sense of the word, Joe Kent (Think So Joe) and let him pick the episode. He went with a great one from Season 23 that has Bart getting involved in the underground street graffiti scene and meeting some of the most popular artists while he's at it. This episode is chock full of chaos, callbacks and all the tomfoolery that you have come to expect from us. We think you'll be politely surprised.

We also discuss:

- Cori's hearing voices

...

On this episode we asked you the listener to help us choose and boy did you pick a great one! Homer tells the story of the meteoric rise and fall of his Barber Shop Quartet, The Be Sharps while meeting some familiar faces along the way. Thank you for all of you that participated in the poll and if we didn't choose your favorite don't worry we'll get to it.

We also discuss:

- Punctuation matters

- Resolving the Kendrick and Drake beef

- What's going on with DB Cooper

Well would you look at that? It's an all new episode featuring your favorite podcasters. Cori was inspired by seeing the recent Lady Gaga performance at Coachella, so much so that she chose this episode featuring the Mother Monster herself. Give it a listen to see what Patrick and Bryan thought and to see if Cori can take of the rose colored glasses and look at this one critically. This is a fun one and we hope you join us for the ride.

We also discuss:

Annoyed by boring and predictable Itchy & Scratchy episodes Bart and Lisa recruit Grandpa to help them get noticed for the scripts that they write. We also see Homer on a bit of a quest to earn his High School diploma once and for all. This one is a favorite but we admit that it doesn't hold up as well as we remembered. We also discuss the following:

- Problematic weeknight recordings

- Welcome new friends of the pod Glen Howerton and Bobby Lee

- Jelly beans and podcasting just don't...

On this episode we take a look at a rather disjointed offering from Season 28. Grandpa Simpson gets a hearing aid, Principal Skinner reveals a life long dream and Lisa cheats on a paper. How do all 3 of these stories merge and are they successful in doing so, well I guess you'll need to tune in to find out! We also discuss:

- One hit vs two hit wonders

- The connection...

On this episode we take you back to a long forgotten episode that the Simpson's team has been trying to remove from existence for it's questionable content and the involvement of Edward Furlong. It's hard to find but we found it and we're bringing it to you.

Edward Furlong comes to town and puts one over on the town of Springfield in an attempt for him to make it big again. Looking at the episode through a 2025 lens we can see why it only aired once (never in syndication) and is not available on Disney+. Give it...

Patrick chose this one to encourage us to take a look at one of the most divisive episodes that changed the course of The Simpsons from this point forward. When Seymour Skinner is outed as a fraud how will the Town react? We also go to bat for the episode and don't understand all the hate that is thrown it's way. We also discuss:

- Don Johnson confusion

- A plea to any and all Joshua Jacksons

- Does Beverine actually exist

- Animal abuse in television shows

...

In this giant sized episode we are fortunate enough to have not one but two comedians join us as Ron Nobles and Dan Altano help us to take a look at what happens when Krusty the Clown goes back to his roots and starts to perform stand up comedy again. They give their unique perspective on the inner workings of the stand up scene and how it has changed over the years and compare their experiences to what Krusty is going through. We also discuss:

- Listener email

- Dan and Ron's Simpson's connections

After a bit of a holiday break we're back with this episode that marked a shift in the show from this point forward. In an episode that starts centering on Homer and his buddies celebrating a sports championship, shifted to a story focused on Bart and the kids of Springfield. Come join us for a great time where we discuss:

- Opening up our Joshua Jackson search to any Jackson Joshuas or even Jockson Jashuas.

- The Simpsons being broadcast on a different night?

- Could the Simpsons be coming to Disney Theme...

Patrick chose this holiday themed episode that shows us 3 separate segments. Cori wasn't feeling well so she ducks out for a bit but ends up coming back. This episode shows the story of the First Christmas, a Grandpa World War II story and a delightful musical segment using the royalty free music of the Nutcracker. This one had us split so give it a listen to see what we thought. We also discuss:

- Sad Vanderpump Rules news

- Steve Lewis accounts on Spotify

- Jonathan Taylor Thomas in his full power

For this Cori pick we take a look at this Marge centric episode and found some much deeper meaning than when we watched it originally. How far will Marge go to be accepted in high society, well I guess you'll have to listen to find out. We also discuss:

We chose a recent episode, so recent that it originally aired only a few weeks ago. A star studded Series Finale fake out that starts as a tribute to the long running series turns into a nice little story about Bart being forced to deal with change. We really enjoyed this one, so much so that Patrick might give some more recent episodes a chance. Join us as we also discuss:-

- A "Hello Therapist" segment right off the bat

- Cori spills all the tea on her beef with Kerri Russell

...

Yes, we know it's November but we're still in a spooky mood so here is our latest Treehouse of Horror offering. We invited back our pal Mike from The Bogeyman's Closet to help us out, as we see the Simpson Family be terrorized by a mystery watcher, a fun comic book inspired romp and the the horror surrounding unpreparedness during Y2K. On a quick note we had some problems with Patrick's mic at the beginning but luckily we got it fixed about 3 minutes in.

Of course we bring you some nonsense as well...

Coming at you with another all new episode. Cori decided to choose one of the most controversial episodes that completely throws out the previous timeline of how Homer and Marge met and crams in a bunch of 90's references. Did we agree with the critics, well you're just going to have to listen to find out. We also discuss:

- A Romper Room Podcast?

- Cori attempts to appeal to the younger generation

- The death of The Simpsons Tapped Out

- Our thoughts on the new Simpsons short The Most...

The great Danny DeVito is back as Unky Herb in this wonderful episode from Season 3. While down on his luck Herb turns to his brother to help get him back on top. As we learn to get back on top all a man needs is an idea. Scratch that A man needs two things: An idea, and money to get it off the ground.

Join us we discuss why Herb returned and how Danny DeVito felt about portraying the character again. But wait that's not all, as we also discuss:

Surprise!! To celebrate our 100th Episode we wanted to do something special, so we figured it was time to tackle The Simpsons Movie. Bea is back for this one and we do things a little bit differently. Rather than our normal episode breakdowns and crazy tangents we watch the movie from start to finish and give our thoughts as we go along. We hope that you join us for the ride.

We welcome back fellow podcasters and friends Mike Alvarez from the Boogeyman's Closet and Carl Doody from The Devil's Due. We also welcome original co-host Bea back to...

For our newest episode we let loyal listener Timothy chose and what an episode it is! He went for a "newer one" from season 31 that originally aired in 2019, Marge the Lumberjill. In this one Marge discovers a new interest in Timber Sports and leaves her family behind to pursue her dream, as she travels to Portland. Don't worry the family isn't far behind and we get some great laughs at Portland's expense.

We also get in on the action as we discuss:

- Who is Cori thinking about and is it weird?<...

On this episode Cori decided to pick the episode right after the last one we did. Why did she do that you ask? Could it be that she knows and loves the episode? Maybe it's because it's a Grandpa episode? Maybe it was just pure laziness? You'll have to listen to find out.

In this episode the Simpsons travel to Ireland. Marge and the kids see all the sites while Abe and Homer start a new business. Join us as we also discuss:

- Is Dean on strike?

- Missing Gen X specific...

We recently experienced a total solar eclipse so Bryan thought it would be a good idea to tackle an episode that also dealt with this same phenomenon and chose this one at random.
