S20E06 - Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words

Nerds and jerks Jack and Dan watch Season 20's "Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words", an episode where Homer breaks couples up for money, Lisa becomes a crosswords enthusiast, and the core conflict of the story doesn't start until the final three minutes. Which Bus Stop Character is an anti-vaxxer? When can obvious music cues be effective? Who's taking your food? How does our sexual crosswords bit end? All that plus Lisa the Bouvier, sad sack shit, and a sound effect made by a shoe horn? (12 letters, across).

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.

S20E14 - In the Name of the Grandfather

Dan and Jack get drunk live on Periscope for St. Patrick's Day with special guest Geoff Wolyniec while watching Season 20's In the Name of the Grandfather. The Simpsons go to Ireland in an episode that begins with a hot tub and ends with Wiggum slapstick. Will The Simpsons make an episode about former Yankee Paul O'Neill? Did Johnny Carson take kung fu with him? Is there such thing as a passive "go fuck yourself?" All that plus a lot of Column B, Irish Soda Bread & Beyond, anti-Picards, Q-Butts and the birth of a character Jack hates more than Hemus.

S20E13 - Gone Maggie Gone

Dan, Jack and returning special guest Dan Ozzi recover from deep-fried Doritos and the end of an era (for like a month or two) to watch Season 20's Gone Maggie Gone, the National Treasure meets Where's Waldo? meets Da Vinci Code meets Ratatouille meets the Apocolypse post-classic episode. Will Dan Ozzi survive the recording? Why are WEE taking on the United States Navy? Where's Podcast? There Podcast. All that plus Jack sneaks in another Stand reference, Dan's dead-on Simpsons Writers impression, Apu/Uter slashfic, sarcastic slang and all the many opposites of chicken WEE can think of.

S20E18 - Father Knows Worst

Happy Father's Day to all our WEE Dads who may or may not have ever had sex. In their honor, WEE watch Season 20's Father Knows Worst, a story about helicopter dads, brokeback jugglers and weirdly intricate scene transitions. When Homer tries to become a better father it backfires, which describes a number of better episodes as well. How many different plot threads can they cram into a first act? Can the show get so cartoony in an otherwise realistic plot? And was Charles really in charge or was he just some weird drifter? Plus, amazing mazes, Oscar Wilde, and a special appearance (or several) by dad-bod enthusiast and Inception star, Leonardo DiCaprio (aka the Fifth Manson).

S20E01 - Sex, Pies, and Idiot Scrapes

Did someone say St. Patrick's Day? Oh that was yesterday? Well, good because this episode only has about three minutes of a St. Patrick's Day parade. Yes, it's that one that Jack thought was all those other ones but it wasn't. It's season 20's Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes! Homer and Flanders become bounty hunters because reasons, while Marge works in an erotic bakery without any kind of dramatic tension at all. Sounds like a winner to us! When did Springfield get so many Irish residents? Why do they waste great guest stars with unnecessary characters? And how can there be other Jack Picones and Dan Mulhalls out there? All that, plus black and white cookie stores, intense fears of Marc Summers, and a visit from Joe Pesci. We ate Popeye's before recording this one, so you know it's going to be good. Plus, a stream of special guests waiting for a bus!

S20E09 - Lisa the Drama Queen

This week, Dan and Jack enter a world of their own creation (filled mostly with action figures) to watch Season 20's Lisa the Drama Queen. Lisa and her new BFF Juliette create the fantasy world of "Equalia" to get away from their problems in a loose parody of Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures." Sure, why not? Is there potential romantic tension between Juliette and Lisa? Is there potential romantic tension between Dan and Jack? And does anyone else remember Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire? Plus, the joys of Crazy Town, the new Mozart, and the best animated mugs.
