Let’s get ready for mini-golf everyone! This was a fun episode guys. Not only do we get out first story about the kids playing sports (and the pressure Homer puts on them) but we also get our first real look at the Flanders family, and how he and […]
This isn’t really a huge revelation, but I really love supervillains. And I really love the supervillains that Marvel has created. Just like they’re heroes, the supervillains of Marvel are damaged people with their own hopes and dreams, and frequently can straddle the line between villain and Anti-Hero. […]
Now here’s a weird one. A look into the strange world of professional sports mascots! Not being a sports fan (except for hockey) I never enjoyed when I would be dragged off to watch one of Denver’s several mediocre teams lose on their home fields, but as a kid, […]
Politics everybody! This episode is kind of prescient with the wonderful world of Presidential debates firing up, and it really hit home a fact that the Simpsons taught me dearly. Politics suck. I feel like the only thing that the Simpsons taught me to be cynical about more […]
Oh man. Halloween episode! I love these so much. I mentioned in my intro post that the first episode of the Simpsons I ever watched was a Halloween one, and I’ve always had a deep affection for them. I feel like it’s going to be a little hard […]

I think I’ve made it abundantly clear at this point that I’m a big fan of noir cinema. But I have to admit, I do have a bit of a blind spot regarding the genre when it doesn’t involve detectives. Anything that was a crime drama from this […]
Now this is how you do a biopic. I mentioned in my article about I’m Not There that biopics often feel too much like the same movie, because they usually try to do too much. For some reason directors think that people want to see a famous persons whole […]
Well, here we are, already in season 2! And really, I feel like this is where the show really kicks into gear. There was some great stuff in season 1, but it’s not quite there yet. The voices aren’t right, the animation is a little off, and the […]
I’ve talked before about my love for John Swartzwelder, but I really can’t say enough about the guy. His episodes of the Simpsons are pretty consistently my favorite, and as I started to get the DVD seasons and the episode guides, I slowly pieced together that all of […]
