Talking Simpsons - Wild Barts Can't Be Broken With Will Sloan
Added 2019-09-25 04:34:37 +0000 UTCThis mash-up of baseball and musicals is cause for the return of Will Sloan, the cohost of podcasts The Important Cinema Club and Michael And Us! After celebrating the local sports team, Homer gets the kids a harsh curfew, and that somehow leads to lengthy parodies of Village of the Damned AND Bye Bye Birdie! Listen now for the lesson that kids never learn!

I used Copenhagen for almost a decade and can tell you that that and chewing tobacco are actually a bit more popular than smoking in rural areas. Now that it's impossible to smoke in public in most places a lot of folks have switched to Copenhagen or something similar because it isn't as obvious to others as smoking is. Personally, I liked Levi Garrett. It tastes a bit like raisins, but it's really messy. I mostly used Copenhagen pouches though, and all that being said i don't recommend anyone start smoking or chewing at all as I've recently quit nicotine for the first time in 12 years and it was really difficult.

2019-09-28 11:55:04 +0000 UTCI only know the "Bye Bye Birdie" opening because it was featured in an episode of "Mad Men" and dear god, her singing...... I'm reminded of Lina Lamont in "Singin' in the Rain"

2019-09-28 02:25:58 +0000 UTCI’m amazed you guys glazed over it, but the joke about cops shooting children is less funny in a modern context, Much like nazi jokes . This was also the first time in like 15 years that I thought about the song “Whay the Dillio” by Mest

2019-09-26 15:26:37 +0000 UTCI gotta throw in my support of minor league baseball, they're great fun and you don't feel like you're being scammed out of your money at every turn. They've got fun gimmicks and cheap drinks. The level of play isn't high but it is entertaining most of the time.

2019-09-26 10:03:18 +0000 UTCIn the process of giving us Old Jewish Man over the credits, we got the standard Simpsons closing theme theme to end this episode. As much as I love the variations each episode provides, it's kinda nice having the default every now and again.

2019-09-26 09:13:07 +0000 UTCI always understood the joke with Cyndi at the beginning as everyone went to see her instead of the game. I never thought of it as a repeat of the bleeding gums joke from earlier seasons. Also Henry, Bye Bye Birdie was supposed to get a "Live television" adaption with J-Lo, but it fell through.

2019-09-26 02:33:29 +0000 UTCI love this dumb episode so much. "Rogering the fishwife" even made it into my vocabulary fir some damn reason. And thanks for shouting out "Bob", a show my dad and I watched together and he hated because he didn't get the comic book stuff.

2019-09-26 02:25:34 +0000 UTCYou guys mentioned this episode has a handful of “did they forget they already made this joke”jokes. One I noticed was when Bart says “kids have rights” and Marge says “yes you have the right to remain silent.” That is eerily similar to the same exchange in Blood Feud, and yet it is said with such pride and laughter in this, it feels like they just came up with it all over again.

2019-09-26 00:22:57 +0000 UTCGood idea, although I feel like if that was the idea, they would've said "I knew this movie would get you kids" or something. Still a cool thought.

2019-09-26 00:22:08 +0000 UTCMy head canon has always been that the Springfield police used The Bloodening as a sting, in which they deliberately advertised the film to make it as attractive as possible to the kids so they could catch them sneaking out after curfew. Gotta spend money to make money, after all.
