S18E12 - Little Big Girl

Grab that gristle and join Jack & Dan for Season 18's Little Big Girl, an episode where Lisa pretends to be Native American for some reason and Bart tries to marry his 15 year old pregnant girlfriend. Somehow this felt like a good episode to watch for Thanksgiving. Why is it important to swindle your loved ones? How many times can Jack wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving? And where's the Batman sex? All that plus the Mary Jane theme, gravy tubes, and what (or who) Groophic eats on Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, WEE Universe!

S22E09 - Donnie Fatso

Coming to you from the pitch black darkness of WEE Studios, Dan and Jack watch Season 22's un-Advent-ful adventure Donnie Fatso, where Homer goes into the Mafia undercover for Jon Hamm and Fat Tony dies only to gets Landfilled. What is the 3rd biggest provider of Worst Episode Ever? What is Little Ghost Girl's first name? And what are the bathrooms like on the WEE Cruise? All of that, plus neutral groans, shitty cheats and the Quantum of Hemus. (But at least it's not DiCaprio...)

S14E11 - Barting Over

Live from a noisy tarmac, Dan & Jack do the Snapchat with special guest Gabe Pulliam and watch Season 14's Barting Over, the 300th episode of The Simpsons (or is it?!) and twenty-two minutes of whimper when Bart becomes emancipated and Tony Hawk is involved somehow. Why are all the hawks in danger? Who is Dan's older fraternal twin? What is a loft? All that plus the Big Three, Pete Pull and our new hit spin-off podcast We Two Talkin' U Talkin' U2 To Me To You Two.

S27E04 - Halloween of Horror

A Halloween episode... in November?! Classic Simpsons, are we right folks? This time, Dan, Jack and the Alfred of WEE Studios, special guest Geoff Wolyniec, take advantage of the public domain and discuss Season 27's Halloween of Horror, The Simpsons' first canonical Halloween episode and an episode you all overwhelmingly suggested we watch. Why won't Jack do a Rocky Horror podcast with Dan? Are you accidentally listening to a little league game from Spokane? Is this not ancient Rome? All that plus Sideshow Mel Gibson, bad dings, natural holes, and the shocking reveal of the 13th Doctor and his faithful companion.

S23E03 - Treehouse of Horror XXII

Jack & Dan think outside the box for this spooooktacular episode and cover a Halloween episode... in October! This time, it's Season 23's Treehouse of Horror XXII, where Homer farts to talk and Maude Flanders makes sweet love to Satan. Why is "The Shinning" such a perfect Halloween vignette? Who is the mascot of Jack's production company? And what is the justification for making Jackie Mason drive all the way downtown? All that plus the surprising origin of Stinkeye, no-draft jokes, and a shocking reveal of why the bus has never come to the WEE Studios Bus Stop.

S11E17 - Bart to the Future

It's our actual one year anniversary! AND the day Jack gets a smartphone! AND it's Back to the Future day, the date Mary McFly travels to in Back to the Future II! So to celebrate Jack, Dan, and special guest (and fellow Son of Meffrey) Rob Mulhall debate what worked and did not work in Season 11's Bart to the Future, an episode which has very little to do with Back to the Future. But it is a flashforward episode where Bart is a pothead moocher, Lisa is the President and Homer & Marge search for Lincoln's gold for some reason. What is the quintessential 90s suffix? Why doesn't Marty McFly just wear a condom? Why don't we need roads? All that plus Dumbledorfs, Bleemus, and WEE fail English.

S17E12 - My Fair Laddy

From their Solid Gold Tesseract, Jack & Dan discuss season 17's My Fair Laddy, a Groundskeeper Willie episode (that's good) that's also a musical (that's bad.) They talk about the show's connection to experimental horror novel House of Leaves, musical parodies throughout the series, and the show's overuse of lampshading (and what lampshading is.) What kind of texture is Homer's blue pants? Where is Sideshow Mel from exactly? Why does DARPA need a second Internet? All that plus Jerkass Krusty, assless Homer, and classic Simpsons character Lawrence Kwincy Tierney.

S19E06 - Little Orphan Millie

Returning guest Dave Dormon joins Jack and Dan for Season 19's Little Orphan Millie, the episode where Kirk and Luann Van Houten reunite. They discuss the episode's complex character dynamics and weird side story that may or may not constitute a B-plot. Is Bart cool? Is WEE's dollars-to-megabyte ratio out of whack? What will be the store motto for Bluto's North Dakota Bathroom Tofurkey? All that plus Homer's musicality, Dan's pragmatic parenting and Coolie Cool & The Coolhouse Bunch.

S27E01 - Every Man's Dream

Now that their fifty practice episodes are out of the way, Jack & Dan start fresh with a brand new episode, the Season 27 premiere, Every Man's Dream! Homer has narcolepsy, makes sex with Lena Dunham, and nothing at all matters. Why is Dan primed to love rectums? Why is owning Hulu the company better than just having Hulu Plus? What is the ultimate point of WEE? All that plus, aging voice actors, doobers, and Dan tells Jack how Jack feels about his own parents' divorce.

S12E11 - Worst Episode Ever

It's WEE's Fitty Epivittery and to celebrate Dan & Jack watch their namesake episode, Season 12's "Worst Episode Ever," an episode that's all about Comic Book Guy. We discuss the silliness in the episode, a plot cobbled together from classic episodes, whether Comic Book Guy's arc failed, and the classic vs. post-classic stylings of Ralph Wiggum. Where will Dan put his dirty diapers? How much ketchup is unacceptable to Jack? Just how exactly will you be murdered on the WEE Cruise? All this, plus total prags, young pups, and a slew of important announcements from WEE Studios that you better listen to... or else... Thanks for fifty great episodes, WEE Universe! Looking forward to at least a few more before we start phoning it in.
