S15E15 - Co-Dependent's Day

In this WEE episode with too many beats, Dan & Jack cover a Simpsons episode with too many beats—season 15’s Co-Dependent’s Day. This much-reviled storyline features Homer framing Marge for his DUI and an entire act devoted to Cosmic Wars. WEE were this close to naming this week’s episode “A Crappy Nail in a Shitty Piece of Wood,” so you know it’s going to be a good one. Is this Homer’s lowest point ever? Do Jack & Dan record every episode upside-down? Who starred in the short-lived revival Laugh Command ’89? All this plus Dan smokes too much hashtag, Jack sings as much of Rehab as he can legally afford, Business Disney Corner and no Leonardo DiCaprio whatsoever… for now.

S15E21 – Bart-Mangled Banner

Jack and Dan look out the window at the old cemetery, then watch “Bart-Mangled Banner,” a season 15 episode that skewers post-9/11 patriotism in George W. Bush’s America. Surely mid-series “Simpsons” does political satire with deftness and subtlety, right? We discuss the show’s reliance on episode-ending musical numbers, how dark is too dark for a Moe joke, and start writing an episode called “Bart Goes Deaf at the Talent Show.” Why did we not cut out a lot of crazy nonsense about “ALF” from this episode? Does anyone else measure American history by the Harold and Kumar films? And was suspending civil liberties in a charged post-9/11 world a necessary evil to protect the American citizenship? (Why would they put a real one in with the joke ones?) Enjoy our latest “Worst Episode Ever” and see if you agree with our assessment of “Bart-Mangled Banner.”
