S12E18 - Trilogy of Error

Dan and Jack spend a Groundhog's Day loop watching season 12's Trilogy of Error, an episode cooler than a million dead bodies where Homer loses his thumb, Lisa falls in love, and Bart rats out the mafia. Where oes Jack go to cry? How did Freet come about? What's the di-di-di-dillio, what's the di-di-deal? All that plus a cap of the WEE plot, the Keatonassiance, static nuts, and cocaine oatmeal.

S17E08 - The Italian Bob

Dan and Jack are joined by special guest Elliot Jay O'Neill (@elliotjayoneillHost of The Simpsons Index podcast) to dig deep into the Sideshow Bob mythology and discuss Season 17's The Italian Bob. How did this episode win a WGA award? What is Bob really short for? Is this the worst ending ever? What is the exception to the comedy rule of three? All that plus another series finale theory, groan-cancelling headphones, Prison Man, and parallel imports (pop pop pop.)

S27E10 - The Girl Code

Dan and Jack celebrate the end of 2016 with their third annual drunken New Year's episode, with WEE Studios regulars Geoff Wolyniec and Nick Noga. Up for review is Season 27's The Girl Code, an awkwardly feminist episode that also has Homer turning himself Greek and dancing many, many times. Do we like the noise post-classic Simpsons episodes make? What's the best original GSN game show? Who fell into the vat of acid kept inside WEE Studios? All that plus pre-show kissing, the Yawn Podcast, and our annual game of Guess The Actual Simpsons Episode Title. There'll be a very extended cut of this episode out soon so don't worry if you feel like you missed anything we recorded LIVE on Periscope. Opa!

What was this episode's TV Guide description? What should be the true spinoff to The Simpsons? Does Jack need fourth walls? All that plus fake life, The J.K. Trio, and a future perfect penis bit.

S10E21 - Monty Can't Buy Me Love

Two boring curmudgeons and shut-ins Dan and Jack waste their time and watch Season 10's Monty Can't Buy Me Love, an episode where Mr. Burns hires image consultant Homer Simpson to get people to like him and/or capture the Loch Ness Monster. What was the best minute of this episode? How is this story like a Super Mario 64 level? What are our feelings on chanting? All that, plus fart stress, Anus the Clown, and Jack's Season 27 Homer voice.

S14E21 - The Bart of War

Dan and Jack celebrate their Ninety-Ninety-Bo-Binety with season 14's "The Bart of War," an episode that is eventually about Bart and Milhouse's rival scout groups that aren't the Junior Campers. Is a giant baby the universal fix for post-classic episodes? What will the series finale really be about? How do Simpsons writers help Booster Gold? All that plus nine stories of icing, panic poops, the Dolph Lundgren Podcast, and Jack and Dan sing the National Anthem.

S17E15 - Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife

Jack and Dan take a couple of left turns and watch Season 17's "Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife," an episode penned by and starring Ricky Gervais that combines elements from Shary Bobbins, the Mel Gibson episode, Helter Shelter, and every plot threatening Homer & Marge's marriage. How many seasons can you go before you're allowed to repeat the same joke? Why are WEE buying 10,000 matches? What was "Your Neighbors' Home's" concept album? All that plus the pot calls the kettle self-indulgent, Homon, and #WheresWEEStudiosNobelPeacePrizeNobelPrizeOrPeacePrizeGiveUsthePeacePrizeToo.

S28E04 - Treehouse of Horror XXVII

It's a great milestone as WEE hit episode 88!... Also The Simpsons hit episode 600 which is nice too, I guess. Yes, Jack and Dan are live on Periscope immediately after Season 28's Treehouse of Horror XXVII, an episode rife with parodies and the lackluster return of Frank Grimes. Why is Homer being shoved into every story? Who is the fourth quintessential Simpsons archnemesis? Where is Old Dracula Fingers?  All that plus Ting Tebow, Brooklyn Blah-ger, Screamcast, a lot of child funerals, Katie & the Egg, and an extended ending with the Bus Stop gang.

S20E07 - MyPods and Boomsticks

Dan and Jack wage one too many Mac v PC battles while watching Season 20's MyPods and Boomsticks, an episode where Homer suspects his new Muslim neighbors are terrorists, and Lisa downloads too much music apparently. Are you an Apple innie or a Google outtie? What do the racist Simpsons action figures say? What will Christmas tradition be like in 1000 years? All that plus twirly light bulbs, three-quarter ass, and social justice couch potatoes.
