Well, here we are already, the end of the first season. The first hurdle has been passed, 25 to go! Oh man, I didn’t think this through. Let’s dive on in folks! So the family is sitting at breakfast, listening to the radio, which is something the Simpsons […]
Classic episode guys. Let’s dive right in! So right off the bat, there’s a pretty great chalkboard gag. “They are laughing at me, not with me.” Jesus that’s harsh. What a messed up thing to make a kid write about himself. The episode proper starts with the kids […]
So back when I was a kid in the awkward year that the first season was the only DVD set I had, and I would watch these episodes over and over, for some reason this one was my favorite. I’m not sure why now, since I’ve found I […]
One of my favorite literary genres (and cinematic and comic book at that) is hardboiled noir. I absolutely love private eyes. From the classic works of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Mickey Spillane to the more contemporary versions like Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policeman’s Union or James Ellroy’s […]

I’m usually not very worried about spoilers on this site. The whole schtick of most of my articles is that I just ramble about the plot of something giving random thoughts and feelings along the way. I think spoilers are generally kind of a dumb concept. If you […]
For being one of the highest profile series that Marvel puts out, I’ve never been a huge Avengers reader. I enjoyed Jonathan Hickman’s crazy run, and have made my way through pretty much all of Brian Michael Bendis’ work on the team, but besides that, the Avengers […]
Back in May, like most geeks, I was super excited about seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now, I’m going to write about that movie, and its various strength and shortcomings, but I kind of want to watch it again before I do that, so I’ll probably wait until […]
Dang. This is a heavy episode. I don’t remember it hitting so hard as a kid. I assume that would have something to do with the fact that I haven’t seen this episode since I’ve been married. Well, let’s talk about marital infidelity everyone! The episode starts with […]
