Talk to the Audience?!? - June 2020
Added 2020-07-01 04:01:01 +0000 UTC
June has come and gone, so it's time once again for another Talking Simpsons community podcast! This month, we celebrate the fifth anniversary of Talking Simpsons and cover a ton of news from the Simpsonsverse, including the recent initiative to no longer have white actors voice non-white characters, the Simpsons' 700th episode table read, some very impressive fan projects, and more. And, as always, we respond to your questions and comments from our most recent episodes. So sit back and relax and get ready for yet another groin-grabbingly-good podcast!
Im only here to request all dogs go to heaven be up for a vote for movie of the month :)

1. No one is going to substantively respond to you if you use chode language, 2. How long have you listened to this show for? They have never hidden their views, and their views have always been very progressive.

2) All non-white characters should ALL be played by non-white actors. This is a problem I have because it sounds less like diversity and more like segregation. So are you telling me that Phil LaMarr should stop voicing as Samurai Jack because he's black instead of Asian? Should they hire an asian actor, even though he may not suit the voice? Before this Hari Kondabolu and Jenny Slate nonsense, people didn't have a problem with voice acting because they are VOICE ACTORS!!!! hence you can't see who is voicing the characters. There are many talented voice actors who voiced characters that are not their own race, like the black woman who voiced Penny from Inspector Gadget, and many others. You guys talk about animated shows and you should know better but instead you guys always virtue signal and I am just sick of it!!

I have to disagree with you guys on two things: 1) Defunding the police- Just because their are some bad apples in the bunch that means we have to throw out the whole barrel right!? Or if there is cockroaches in your house, the only solution is to burn the whole house down, sounds like a great idea right!? No? You see where I'm going with this? Just because there are bad cops in North America (or the world for that matter), doesn't mean that every cop should be punished by defunding them!! A better solution is to have better screenings and proper training. Even when the cops are properly trained and licensed, have them take screenings and training checks at least every month or every week to make sure they don't go out of line.

Congratulations on 5 great years. I dont know if I'm the only one but, I really enjoy relistening to older episodes and hearing just how much has changed in a few short years. Also I dont know if its possible but I would love for Nina to guest on more pods. Here's to another 5 years and many more.

Thanks for reading my comments three times! Those last few episodes had a lot to talk about. I bet Bob/Henry may enjoy The Croods just because I know they've spoken strongly against daddy issues narratives and The Croods is all about a dad who has to deal with the fact he is wrong.

Speaking of ADHD I feel more comfortable saying this now, because in between the episode going up and this talk to the audience, I finally got approved for my medical mj card. MMJ is highly HIGHLY effective for adults (possibly younger, due to the development of the endocannabinoid system, I would be wary of using it in adolescents) with ADHD, especially people like me who suffer from chronic anxiety attacks. If you live in a medical state and find your ADD/ADHD to be highly debilitating as an adult, I highly recommend at least talking it over with your doctor. Even in a recreational state, because its nice to have an indicator saying, for an employer, I have a legitimate disability and this is the treatment my doctor prescribes. That said if you read this particular comment on air, lets leave my last name out of it lol.

Also checking in from Philly, that was awesome. I really hope they going to use that money to more or less get everyone in the city out on bail that they can. I gave them to them right at the beginning and then like 5 days later we saw they were turning people to other places.

the only reason I see WB still not consolidating their services is to continue to get as much money for the services. DCU is about 79/annually, Boomerang 39/annually, and max is 15/monthly....why have people only pay 15/month for all three of those, when they can charge for each, and rotate the other two services' content into Max as a sample to entice enrollment in the other services. They did just recently offer DCU members 4.99/month Max sub though. Still totally sucks since I'd rather pay for one service over 3.

I wanted to mention that in Philadelphia the bail fund got so many donations that they had to redirect people who want to donate to other nonprofits.
I also hope for Bob and Nina's reunion! As somebody who now just reunited with their boyfriend when it was safe enough, I can totally relate to this quarantined related separation.

I am VERY PLEASED to hear that you'll be doing Avatar the Last Airbender episode in the coming months! A few months back I watched it all the way through for the first time, mostly during a fairly lonely/frustrating time in my life (PRE-QUARANTINE, even, so 2020 has been... something) and it really, really lived up to the hype I'd seen over it, both from the internet, and close friends IRL.

I'd also like to note that the continued great work you guys have been doing with the multiple podcasts has been super helpful during quarantine as I finished doing my MA and am now settling into having nothing to do at all since there's barely even jobs to apply to and as an extrovert I'm slowly drifting into insanity BUT THE DESCENT HAS BEEN SLOWED by shows like TS and WAC, so cheers to you guys, and I hope Bob & Nina can be reunited soon.
