S12E14 - New Kids on the Blecch

Jack and Dan take their first WEElite (or is it WEE-lite?) listener suggestion of the summer and watch Season 12's New Kids on the Blecch, a super-liminal episode where Bart joins a boy band that is secretly recruiting Springfield into the Navy. Who else could have played L.T. Smash? Why can we retire the podcast now? What boy band was being played at Abu Ghraib? Why Italian? All that plus the Backstory Boys, generic penis references, and the actual first DC Extended Universe movie.

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.

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.

S12E17 - Simpson Safari

The Simpsons go to Africa this week while Jack & Dan stay put in WEE Studios with returning special guest Nick Noga. Season 12’s Simpson Safari, one of our most requested episodes (even Mike Reiss hates it) has a bag-boy strike (they happen!) twist and tweak itself into monkey and diamond-related hijinks with many of Africa’s famous landmarks and tragic quagmires used for comic fodder. Will Nick point out WEE’s flawed ranking system and ever-increasing disconnect with actual Simpsons commentary? Does John Swartzwelder save the episode with a strong first act? Can Jack effectively capture the typical episode-summarizing blurb Dan usually writes for each new podcast, or will he succumb to his natural tendency to use too many clauses and run-on sentences until everyone has finally given up on whatever he was trying to say? All this, plus Amazon’s Cat Drones, the Laugh Command Lunch Box, Jack’s frozen bread and Blood Diamond’s very own Leonardo DiCaprio.

S12E05 - Homer Vs. Dignity

What better way to break in the new year than panda-on-man sexual assault? Yes, WEE've sobered up since New Years, and are ready for Season 12's "Homer Vs. Dignity," one of our most requested episodes. Homer needs money, Mr. Burns hires him as his "prank monkey," and nothing is resolved in an episode that just kind of ends. Maybe we do need another drink... We debate the existence/goodness of Lindsay Naegle, illuminate the weird sexual undercurrent in the episode, and discuss Mr. Burns' misunderstanding of what a prank is. When did Moe become so creepy? Why does no one in Springfield mourn the great hobo genocide? And why is a Simpsons podcast in 2015 talking about hit 80s sitcom "Empty Nest?" All that, plus, Jack forgets the planets, Dan nerds out about Spider-Man, and much, much more. (And if anyone from Marvel is out there, we are available to write that "Spider-Man/Vulture: The Empty Nest" limited series...)
