Speaker 1: Lisa, do you want to be best friends? Gosh, this
Speaker 1: is all happening so fast.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say, so yes, so yes,
Speaker 2: I loved you. Whoa good night, Lisa, I have a
Speaker 2: best friend. You heard me say that, didn't you?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: We're still cool, all right? We are? My best friend
Speaker 2: is so cool? Four finger discount dude.
Speaker 1: Welcome to four figure discount. Why this week we're here
Speaker 1: to review a confusing episode of the Simpsons. It is
Speaker 1: not Lisa the beauty Queen. It is Lisa the drama Queen.
Speaker 2: I'm Dando and I'm guy, and much like this episode,
Speaker 2: I am confused and confusing that Lisa the drama Queen
Speaker 2: wa all over the place, and not in a good way.
Speaker 1: Well, I watched this right and we got a good
Speaker 1: ten minutes into it, and I just had in my notes,
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what I'm watching, what the point
Speaker 1: of this is. It just feels so boring. I can imagine.
Speaker 1: But what I try to do now when I do
Speaker 1: reviews is I imagine myself watching it. And also if Elliott
Speaker 1: were watching this, because it seems it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: for adults and for kids. Sure, and I'm finding more
Speaker 1: and more recently it seems to be the rise of
Speaker 1: write the show for themselves, not necessarily the kids watching
Speaker 1: the show right, And I'm thinking Elliott would find this
Speaker 1: so boring. There is just nothing here. This Juliet character
Speaker 1: has just come out of absolutely nowhere. Emily Blunt apparently
Speaker 1: did the voice, which I was very surprised by. I was, indeed,
Speaker 1: I'm just going, who is this voice? Like, what is
Speaker 1: this accent? It just is British, so she is.
Speaker 2: But this is not Emily Blunt's usual voice.
Speaker 1: No, this sounded like a Simpsons cast. Mean, we're trying
Speaker 1: to do a British accent, I thought. And I'm watching
Speaker 1: this going I can't get emotionally invested in this. And
Speaker 1: what I what I've sort of realized is I think
Speaker 1: the reason I was getting baffled and not annoyed but
Speaker 1: just confused, was that I think they rushed the story
Speaker 1: too much, and they expected you to have all this
Speaker 1: emotional investment. At least they're having a new best friend.
Speaker 1: It was happening too fast. They kept and they kept
Speaker 1: beinging up, this is happening so fast, This is happening
Speaker 1: so fast. That was their crush of saying we're rushing
Speaker 1: this story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or an alternative way of looking at that is
Speaker 2: that first rush of sort of platonic love that can
Speaker 2: almost have an aspect of romantic love to it. Ah
Speaker 2: and yeah, a feeling like, Wow, I've found someone who's
Speaker 2: very in sync with me, very sympatico. It's that stepbrother's line, Wow,
Speaker 2: did we just become best friend?
Speaker 1: Yep, well best friend's romantic friend. That first realization is
Speaker 1: very special, it certainly. I mean.
Speaker 2: One of the notes that I took about this, and
Speaker 2: it was early on, maybe around the same time that
Speaker 2: you're thinking of, and that I think sort of was
Speaker 2: the core of the episode was it's always nice when
Speaker 2: you discover someone into the same shit as you. And
Speaker 2: this I'm going way back in the time there, but
Speaker 2: particularly in the pre Enginet era, you know. I mean,
Speaker 2: one of the first things that you know, we really
Speaker 2: enjoyed about the net when it came online was like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you like Blade Runner as well. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a really sort of weird example to use because
Speaker 2: a lot of people like Blade Running, but you know,
Speaker 2: for a while, and particularly if you're in not necessarily
Speaker 2: in a big city or something like that, to discover.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, wait a minute, there are people into
Speaker 2: the same shit that I am. And but when you
Speaker 2: meet someone like that in the wild. I've told this
Speaker 2: story before about you know, one night I was out
Speaker 2: at the nightclub just talking to some dude and we
Speaker 2: started talking about movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it started talking about stuff that I thought was
Speaker 2: like fucking Ark of the Covenant. No one's ever heard
Speaker 2: of this shit. And he's like, oh no, that's a
Speaker 2: really great movie. You know what, else as good as
Speaker 2: this guy?
Speaker 1: It is really good, you know what.
Speaker 2: No, it's like that meme where the guy in the
Speaker 2: corner said nobody knows that I'm such and such and
Speaker 2: while everyone's just having a party. But yeah, we ended
Speaker 2: up talking about movies, and I was like, that's kind
Speaker 2: of what this felt like. It's like, wow, am I
Speaker 2: getting drunk not just off the booze behind the bar,
Speaker 2: but on this guy's company whose name I don't remember,
Speaker 2: who I never saw.
Speaker 1: Again, but you remember him forever? Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Remember him because just a bad feeling of like, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, you like this as well? Or wow, we're
Speaker 2: talking the same language in a room full of people
Speaker 2: who are who are not predator.
Speaker 1: It was the same as when you go on a
Speaker 1: holiday with your family and a caravan parking is a
Speaker 1: kid that you just make friends with, and you go,
Speaker 1: I know, we're never going to see each other after
Speaker 1: this trip, but you're best friends forever. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: What do they call it in.
Speaker 2: Fire club? Single serving friends? When you're next to some
Speaker 2: person on a plane and you I'm having a perfectly
Speaker 2: nice conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, that's exactly it. But this is based
Speaker 1: on a film. It is based on a film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's drawing inspiration from a film called Heavenly Creatures
Speaker 2: from I think nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: It's apparently Kate Winslet's first film.
Speaker 2: Certainly may be the first feature film, maybe not a
Speaker 2: first acting role, but also the first definitely the first
Speaker 2: film and maybe a first acting role for an actor
Speaker 2: named Melanie Lynsky, who is quite well known these days.
Speaker 2: She's on Yellow JACKETSSS.
Speaker 1: Kate When's in their feature film debut? Feature film debut.
Speaker 2: I think Kate wins would have been on a bit
Speaker 2: of English TV prior to this, but this really.
Speaker 1: Made her a star.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's written and directed by Peter Jackson of
Speaker 2: the Lord of the Lord of the Rings fame.
Speaker 1: For me though as a nineties kid, when you say
Speaker 1: Peter Jackson, it's not meanly get lord. No, no, you
Speaker 1: Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson. Is he like a big and
Speaker 1: tall like the actual director Peter Jackson.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, like like I don't know clothing, I
Speaker 2: have no idea for Peter Jackson. Yeah, I was wondering
Speaker 2: who it was, like Fletcher Giants is like quality men's tailoring, ye,
Speaker 2: or if it was like, hey for the for the
Speaker 2: slightly bigger dude, you for husky dudes.
Speaker 1: I thought Peter Jackson reminds me of kind of like
Speaker 1: a country road kind of via Peter Jackson.
Speaker 2: I'll get where you're coming from.
Speaker 1: Not not target, but also not yes fancy fancy not
Speaker 1: fancy pants. Yes, you can't get fancy pants. You can't
Speaker 1: get fancy pants anyway.
Speaker 2: But Heavenly Creatures is based on the true story about
Speaker 2: these two young women I believe in New Zealand who yeah,
Speaker 2: per formed this very tired bond. Yeah, with the best
Speaker 2: of friends, maybe even lovers, who knows.
Speaker 1: But I was wondering whether that this story was going
Speaker 1: to get interesting go down that one much is going.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking in my head, this is either going to
Speaker 1: be this Juliet is imaginary, or they're going to fall
Speaker 1: in love and LEAs gonna have her first lesbian sort
Speaker 1: of feelings. Didn't do either. It's very disappointed.
Speaker 2: It's from YSA storyline.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the Google description. Basically, it's just teenagers,
Speaker 1: Pauline and Juliet. Oh so Juliet's the same, yeah name
Speaker 1: all right, bond over a love of fantasy and literature.
Speaker 1: They conspire to kill one of the girls mothers when
Speaker 1: he tries to end the girl's intense and obsessive relationship. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now it makes sense knowing that. Yeah, still, what
Speaker 1: an odd thing to parody.
Speaker 2: It's an odd thing to parody because look, it was
Speaker 2: a well regarded movie at the time, and I think
Speaker 2: it's sort of Peter Jackson before this was Knownver is
Speaker 2: really sort of gory, splatstick horror movies.
Speaker 1: It was the Muppet one he did The Feeble Feebles
Speaker 1: and The Bad Taste, The Taste Come.
Speaker 2: Under and one either called brain Dead or Dead Alive.
Speaker 1: Dead a life great, incredibly gory.
Speaker 2: And this is kind of oh no, he can handle
Speaker 2: things in a bit more of a serious vein can
Speaker 2: work with act as well. Yeah, give him a lot
Speaker 2: of the rings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they were when they start production in
Speaker 1: those films would have been late nineties.
Speaker 2: Like ninety nine or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, eight. But he made
Speaker 2: his way. I mean this was I think Heavenly Creatures
Speaker 2: was distributed by Miramax, so I think it probably got
Speaker 2: an Oscar.
Speaker 1: For New Zealand. Film. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Biographical, good movie, yeah, yeah, but as you're saying, an
Speaker 2: odd choice to parody because it's not necessarily that well
Speaker 2: known and the storyline doesn't really lend itself to a
Speaker 2: half hour animated comedy. But that core idea, as I said,
Speaker 2: of finding someone that you're very, very in sync with
Speaker 2: and instantly becoming best brands, even though the foundation of
Speaker 2: that is kind of Yeah, this weird fantasy world that
Speaker 2: they create and bond over and we create together and
Speaker 2: bond over and almost become consumed by.
Speaker 1: It got old so fast, it really did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they couldn't find a way to resolve that.
Speaker 2: Now it will turn it into anything all that interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm watching this going, is this just the animators just
Speaker 1: trying to show off their animating skills.
Speaker 2: What a little Yeah, and otherwise it was just sort
Speaker 2: of playing their hits as well. I mean, you've got
Speaker 2: Juliette's family are a bit like the whole Jeremy's Iron thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say Allison's family. Allison. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was literally exactly what I was thinking as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I watched I saw a good theory about Allison. By
Speaker 1: the way, so Allison, right, Lisa's Rival. The episode is
Speaker 1: called Lisa's Rival. That's when I'm a writer, right, a writer. Right.
Speaker 1: So she comes home and they're playing the game, and
Speaker 1: the theory was do you think that this was a
Speaker 1: setup by that dad and Alison to fuck over Lisa?
Speaker 2: Yeah, either a test to be like, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: this is fun and games is like can you cut
Speaker 2: it in our house?
Speaker 1: Not even it? Can you cut it? They make themselves
Speaker 1: feel better. Yeah, apparently Jeremy Iron. The only real thing
Speaker 1: you can do is Jeremy's Iron. Jeremy Irons, Jeremy's Iron.
Speaker 1: They gave her a ship one deliberately just to make
Speaker 1: her feel stupid because this is like this chickens store. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this girl's gone.
Speaker 2: There's many many times and they've always.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, whenever someone's on her level, they bring it
Speaker 1: home and they bring them down.
Speaker 2: He's always going to say, all right, give me an
Speaker 2: anagram for Allgannis genuine class.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that, or Jeremy Irons, and it's always
Speaker 1: yeah nothing. I thought, that's actually a bit of a
Speaker 1: heel tend that I never really thought about. Interesting.
Speaker 2: Interesting, it's more interesting than this episode. Yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: talking about it because yeah, there's not a whole lot
Speaker 2: else in this.
Speaker 1: And but as a parody, it's as a parody, it's fine, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: but it's just pointless the traditional guy.
Speaker 2: It's fine, okay, but there's other stuff in here that's
Speaker 2: This felt like a really mean spirited episode.
Speaker 1: My notes to on going why is everyone angry? Because
Speaker 1: I feel like that for a while there and the
Speaker 1: Simpsons everyone was always angry, bitter, and they've kind of
Speaker 1: shifted a little more positive in recent times. This episode
Speaker 1: was a holdover from last season, but also the writer
Speaker 1: of this episode was Brian Kelly. He hadn't written an
Speaker 1: episode for five seasons, so maybe he was still stuck
Speaker 1: in that season fifteen mentality of Homer's a buffoon jerk
Speaker 1: wanker and everyone's angry in Springfield because Homer was just deplorable.
Speaker 1: In this felt like everyone was yeah, everyone was not
Speaker 1: everyone everyone is mean in Springfield? Why is everybody mean?
Speaker 2: I'm just recalling a sitting from a recent episode that
Speaker 2: we covered where you've got squeaky boys teen lou up
Speaker 2: your car, Governor, but he's doing in the English accident
Speaker 2: the guy will buss it, don't touch me. That's the
Speaker 2: kind of anti social attitude that I know. I kind
Speaker 2: of like in The Simpsons, where it's not people are
Speaker 2: just angry, but people are kind of like, I just
Speaker 2: want to get through my day.
Speaker 1: Man. Even like Bart's trying to help Lisa pick out
Speaker 1: something and she's berating him for it, and he points out,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to help you ask for my hop
Speaker 1: and I'm given it to you. And because that's not
Speaker 1: what you what you're yelling at me, I'm thinking, no
Speaker 1: one is nice. March is nice. Yeah, Marche has just
Speaker 1: become a punching bag. I hope it was so passionizing
Speaker 1: and rude to March here with the point where she
Speaker 1: says something in home and copies and he goes, if
Speaker 1: you say so, March. If you say so, if you
Speaker 1: said at first, that's that's fine, making it just gaslighting you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not a not a good episode.
Speaker 1: No, this wasn't this wasn't good this. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I think we were trying to accentuate the positive
Speaker 2: here and look, sorry that was.
Speaker 1: A lost cause. And just to wrap up the juliet
Speaker 1: saying oh cuckoo, I'm thinking, oh okay, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: She's gone, never gonna see her again, family moves away
Speaker 1: now never no history there, that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, right yourself, a little escape patch in
Speaker 2: there about oh my dad is on like a six
Speaker 2: month contract or whatever, so oh now time is limited,
Speaker 2: and oh we've got to embrace these moments that we
Speaker 2: have together. And that gives you justifies the intensity of
Speaker 2: this relationship. You know that it's going to be short lived,
Speaker 2: and then you're really, oh, wait a minute, well in nuts,
Speaker 2: but they're not going to be here for that long anyway,
Speaker 2: so that's all right.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Heavenly Creatures plays out, but I
Speaker 1: think there would have been more and more interesting story
Speaker 1: for this would have been that Lisa's enjoying Juliette's company
Speaker 1: and then she gets to a point where she realized
Speaker 1: meant juliet is a bit obsessed with this book. I
Speaker 1: need to get out. But then Juliette will allow her,
Speaker 1: and then she needs Marge's help to actually so, because
Speaker 1: she because there was a point where she's so rude
Speaker 1: to Marge where she goes, it's best if you don't
Speaker 1: try and be a part of my life, Mum, March,
Speaker 1: as I'm just trying to be involved in it's best
Speaker 1: if you don't, And there was there was no there
Speaker 1: was no call back to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's yeah, clearly I think that's drawing too
Speaker 2: much or drawing heavily from heavenly.
Speaker 1: Creatures in that regard. But in the Simpsons University, you
Speaker 1: can't just have Lisa be a rude to March and
Speaker 1: not have her apologized for it. It's just silliness. It
Speaker 1: needs to be Lisa saying, like, draw upon heavenly creatures,
Speaker 1: but use the Simpsons spin, you don't have to follow
Speaker 1: the same. So. I don't know how the movie plays out,
Speaker 1: but this, to me needed Marge to be the one
Speaker 1: who Lisa realizes is most important and brings her back.
Speaker 1: My favorite Did you have any favorite moments?
Speaker 2: I had like I had three, one of which was
Speaker 2: I was surprised to this couver that was Emily Blunt,
Speaker 2: who's an actor that I like. I initially thought, yeah,
Speaker 2: much like it was like, yeah, they just got a
Speaker 2: coustmember doing a weird and when I say weird, I
Speaker 2: don't mean necessarily bed. It's like, this is least seem
Speaker 2: like an odd choice.
Speaker 1: This voice. It didn't feel like an English acts. It
Speaker 1: felt like an American being an englishman. Yeah, it was so.
Speaker 2: But props to Emily Blunt for not just because she's
Speaker 2: got a lovely speaking boys. Props to her for actually
Speaker 2: sort of doing a character or doing a bit.
Speaker 1: So, hey, it's English actress Emily Blunt. Yeah she's married
Speaker 1: to John Christian. Yeah John, Yeah. Home is mostly terrible,
Speaker 1: But I did enjoy him saying at do we find
Speaker 1: Juliet's last name or the professor's last name? I can't
Speaker 1: remember anyway at their house, like where's your bathroom? I'd
Speaker 1: like to pretend to wash my hand. Do you like that?
Speaker 1: I'd like to pretend to wash my hands. That I
Speaker 1: thought that was quite I'm just watching this going, why
Speaker 1: is Homer such a fuckhead? I just watched it. I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking Homer is just despicable.
Speaker 2: It just it speaks to class insecurity and you know,
Speaker 2: oh I better be seen to be trying to do
Speaker 2: the right thing.
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of funny, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the fact that he told them I'm not going
Speaker 1: to wash my hands. I did not like this version
Speaker 1: home in this episode at.
Speaker 2: All, And quite honestly, I thought it was a very
Speaker 2: good suggestion by a Poo that the you know, I
Speaker 2: need a candy that I'm enjoyed and that I can
Speaker 2: pretend to share or something like that. Get to one
Speaker 2: why Poo was run the show? Yeah, well I have
Speaker 2: one moment here, tell me. And it was the bait
Speaker 2: and switch where they got me of the bullies arriving.
Speaker 2: I thought it was the family and I was literally
Speaker 2: typed my notes going as if Marge would know she
Speaker 2: was going to be Oh it wasn't Marge. Yeah, I'm sorry. Right,
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, you did this one right, bro Kelly, well
Speaker 2: done you. But yeah, they were the only things I liked.
Speaker 1: Next question you there Eating the Beast trivia questions. My
Speaker 1: first question for you is which track of the Pelican
Speaker 1: Brief did Julius Dad, make her play it's strength three.
Speaker 1: Researching the brief, I didn't mind that moment as boke
Speaker 1: on going. You know what I do? Enjoy me a
Speaker 1: good score, as you can.
Speaker 2: See here do Dan who knows the score?
Speaker 1: Yes, I would buy the Pelican brief score.
Speaker 2: Well you probably already know the answer to this. Then,
Speaker 2: But who composed that score?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, neme. He starts with HD right, short hours
Speaker 1: is a hang someone?
Speaker 2: No, that's the surname starts with age.
Speaker 1: Ah, no, what is it? It's James Horner. James Horner all right?
Speaker 2: Indeed, who also composed the music for Titanic? And who
Speaker 2: is no law rulers? Ah, that's a shame. James want
Speaker 2: to come up with some great scores. Yeah, one of
Speaker 2: the best things. So it certainly told this story.
Speaker 1: So did he write in a second? Did he write
Speaker 1: then my Heart will go on? Because basically it's the
Speaker 1: same music.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he did. That's a really good
Speaker 2: question and we should look it.
Speaker 1: Up, because the music of my heart We're going is
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, that's because Jane Cameron knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing speaking, and he knows what
Speaker 1: he knows what everyone is doing, speaking of movie times,
Speaker 1: because we just did we just did Golden Eye, which
Speaker 1: wasn't a sometimes a video game tie in? Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: Golden Off for the Movie Guy podcast with Malton and Davis.
Speaker 1: What is it called?
Speaker 2: Why did I type in Jake's Horner? I don't know
Speaker 2: what I'm doing?
Speaker 1: What is Jake's Horner? What does it look like? Show
Speaker 1: me your horner?
Speaker 2: I certainly will not song by James Horner and Will.
Speaker 1: Jennings, So okay, yeah it means.
Speaker 2: And then Selene came on and just put that particular Canadian.
Speaker 1: Source on it. Selen is nicholas favorite singer of all time? Well,
Speaker 1: that's her problem. She walked down the aisle to Celendion's arm.
Speaker 1: What's the one where it goes because I'm your lady,
Speaker 1: you are my man power of love, power of live. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what Nicola walked down the aisle to it. It's
Speaker 1: very sweet. Yeah, she loves this Celindion. That's a very
Speaker 1: good thing. All right. My next question for you is
Speaker 1: they took a trip to where and which is a
Speaker 1: Facebook two weeks in a row, so it's clearly the
Speaker 1: writers at the Simpsons around. Hey, it's a new thing
Speaker 1: the Facebook. We're better mention it for the kids watching
Speaker 1: the show. But it's gonna like their trip to wear
Speaker 1: Oh that's a I'll give you a clue, varmit. This
Speaker 1: guy likes to shoot Varmin. You're sementy. You're talking about
Speaker 1: your seventy Yeah of the the New Tunes cartoons. I
Speaker 1: question for you.
Speaker 2: Uh, the art teacher is reading a book or magazine
Speaker 2: about what no idea sell your junk on eBay? Okay,
Speaker 2: this is what we're all doing these days, apparently on
Speaker 2: Facebook marketplace. Oh avoid those fees.
Speaker 1: Hey, good point, Yeah, seventeen percent and everyone sells something
Speaker 1: an eBay.
Speaker 2: Thanks, okay, Facebook marketplace. See, we're just like the Simpsons, right,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Facebook. Your next question to me.
Speaker 1: How much was a shrimp cocktail? Three dollars? Five dollars?
Speaker 1: Good guess? Four nine? It's not a good guess?
Speaker 2: Was completely incorrect enough, so wrongs. Actually the rec center
Speaker 2: is named for whom.
Speaker 1: I don't know, and me, Lisa said it, what was it?
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was a joke as well, was it?
Speaker 2: That's a good question because I didn't do my research
Speaker 2: while watching it. It's Janet L. Muna's Robins. Let's look
Speaker 2: up if that's a real person and what they did?
Speaker 1: You look at the moment as you're doing that, I'm
Speaker 1: going to say that the outro was done by fall
Speaker 1: out Boy, who didn't guest star in the episode, but
Speaker 1: they did name their band after fall out Boy. Radioactive
Speaker 1: Man's assistant who Millhouse plays.
Speaker 2: I did notice that, Yeah, also written what's the point
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: Ball out Boy track? I guess they are called fallad Boy? Yes,
Speaker 1: the first The.
Speaker 2: Only thing that comes up is Lisa, the Lisa the
Speaker 2: drama queen, So I'm guessing the Janet l Munos the Robins?
Speaker 2: Is why am I putting that that? That's sass on
Speaker 2: the pronunciation of their name. They can't take offense because
Speaker 2: guess what? Don't think they're a real person?
Speaker 1: Who's real? Though? Sy Cutters, They're so real. Four figure

Speaker 1: So this is kind of historic. So started this podcast
Speaker 1: nearly ten years ago, ten years ago in May, and
Speaker 1: we started episode one Their way through Got season ten.
Speaker 1: You jumped on board season twenty, and this is the
Speaker 1: final episode of The Simpsons that features this intro. Gonna
Speaker 1: be replaced, didn't you.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, normally your timing is really good.
Speaker 2: You could have put a little more hot source on that.
Speaker 2: This is the final episode.
Speaker 1: Of this Yeah, I can see you looked a little
Speaker 1: like worried. I was like, I'm just gonna get to
Speaker 1: the point I'm not I'm not that concerned. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the the intro, the final intro of the Simpsons,
Speaker 1: and now it's going to be HD wide screens. And
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's gonna feel like a different show
Speaker 1: now because even because it's new Simpsons in regards to like,
Speaker 1: it's not golden Ear. It's more modern Simpsons season twenty,
Speaker 1: but it's still at the four to three ratio. Now
Speaker 1: it's wid screen. Now, I wonder watching it with wide
Speaker 1: screen now where it's going to feel, Oh, this is
Speaker 1: a new era of the show.
Speaker 2: New area for the Simpsons, maybe new era for four
Speaker 2: Finger discomp But it's going to be, yeah, just as
Speaker 2: good as show as it ever was, maybe even better.
Speaker 1: We're going to broadcasting in wide screen. Now we're just
Speaker 1: going to talk louder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So couch gag, not about couch gag,
Speaker 2: but also.
Speaker 1: End of an era. It is the end of an era, indeed,
Speaker 1: and beginning of a new one. They ended with the
Speaker 1: worst one ever.
Speaker 2: Every new beginning isn't some new beginning's end, as the
Speaker 2: song says.
Speaker 1: The episode kicks off with Homer dropping the kids off
Speaker 1: at the Springfield Rec Center. He says, when you're older,
Speaker 1: you realize how much you miss these fun activities. That's
Speaker 1: kind of mean to Elliot when he goes, I don't
Speaker 1: want to have to go to school. I don't want
Speaker 1: to know. I said, mate, understand, this is the best
Speaker 1: time of your life. You have no responsible He always says,
Speaker 1: I want to be an adult. I'm like, you don't, don't.
Speaker 1: I understand. When you're an adult you can do things
Speaker 1: you want to do, but when you're a kid, you
Speaker 1: have adults who do that shit for you. Just enjoy
Speaker 1: being a kid, mate. And yeah, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: shout out to Elliott. Guess what Eliot did. He got
Speaker 1: voted class captain. Oh my goodness. Yeah, out of all
Speaker 1: the kids, the one class each has a captain. His
Speaker 1: peers voted him class captain more asbestos and they said
Speaker 1: he's our man.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, yeah, the other kid was sort of like voting
Speaker 2: on more science ficient books in the library.
Speaker 1: I love the way they The teacher explained it to
Speaker 1: me too. So they got ten people or put their
Speaker 1: hand up, so we want to go for class captain.
Speaker 1: They all got the front. They all did a little speech.
Speaker 1: Elliot said, he apparently she goes, Elliott just went up
Speaker 1: there and he said, I'm going to be good as
Speaker 1: class captain because I'm kind, respectful. I'll help you guys learn.
Speaker 1: If you need anything, I will help you. And everyone
Speaker 1: else just kind of said because because they won c
Speaker 1: and then basically Ali was Elliott was a tie with
Speaker 1: somebody else. So she said, we don't got the other
Speaker 1: two on the up the front. And how do you
Speaker 1: think they decided who was going to be the class captain?
Speaker 2: I want to say I'm wrestle.
Speaker 1: No, they just said, right, who voced? Ali put your
Speaker 1: hands up and apparently like everyone will popular everyone except
Speaker 1: for like two kids put the head of for Alliot.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh that is so harsh. Great.
Speaker 2: See now now Eliot has his own baby, baby Gerald. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got a nemesis.
Speaker 1: He's got a nemesis. Yeah, I like Elliott, I get wrong,
Speaker 1: he's a good kid. Said that. Well, I said to her,
Speaker 1: you realize that's how super Villain's upborn. This kid's just
Speaker 1: going to steal in it forever. Well, then Elliot, how's
Speaker 1: his face feeling? Because he goes, oh, yeah, he proa
Speaker 1: the creaker bat. It's it's going down. No, fracture in
Speaker 1: the jaw, though it might have been frast went to
Speaker 1: get scans and whatnot. So he's he's still much better.
Speaker 1: But it's like a little hard ball. And I think
Speaker 1: it might be like they think it's melanoma or something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: That sounds serious.
Speaker 1: It does. Maybe it's not that he meta melano is
Speaker 1: skin can it's not that, even Tom that's the one, yes,
Speaker 1: big words computer bell, so he has that in his
Speaker 1: face possibly, so think it's an ultra sound on that
Speaker 1: to see if that's all right. But it's gone down,
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt the touch anymore. It's this is very good.
Speaker 2: He's back playing cricket again. This is very good news.
Speaker 2: In semi related news, Lou's daughter Audrey is house captain
Speaker 2: of the House school. So yeah, we're just associated with
Speaker 2: Well done Audrey. Yeah, well done Audrey.
Speaker 1: Well done.
Speaker 2: Bart and Lisa going off to the rec center. Yes
Speaker 2: it was a silky seguay, wasn't it was?
Speaker 1: Indeed? Yeah, Homer bails on them coming with guys doing
Speaker 1: some showering kung fu. All this is just pointless. A
Speaker 1: lot of fat shaming this episode. Yeah, this is the voice.
Speaker 1: Certainly in this first part there's always fat shaving in
Speaker 1: the Simpsons, No fat chicks. Yeah, but that was funny.
Speaker 1: This is just a guy saying that there's nothing to
Speaker 1: do with my weight. It's all about what is it?
Speaker 1: He's chi is it? It's cheap? He's chea Yes, he
Speaker 1: says on my signal, which is it a matrix reference
Speaker 1: or a rock reference? Just bring it. That looks a
Speaker 1: bit like it.
Speaker 2: Although I'm pretty sure that martial artists have been doing
Speaker 2: that since spread since martial arts.
Speaker 1: By the way, I learn to confort.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone who's watched a Hong Kong action movie over
Speaker 2: the last thirty or so years may be aware of
Speaker 2: Samo Hung, who's like a contemporary of Jackie Chan, except
Speaker 2: he's a big guy, like a big guess, a fat guy,
Speaker 2: but absolutely kickars. He was like, you know, Chris Farley's
Speaker 2: really bleetic, like he's very graceful. Samo Hung's a bit
Speaker 2: like that, but also with violence. Okay, So there you go,
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be dis in comic book John Thick,
Speaker 2: John Thick, John Thick, there you go. There what a guy.
Speaker 1: So Lisa's in art class, the teacher's not having a
Speaker 1: good time. Actually didn't mind this as well. So she's
Speaker 1: saying this orange is not that orange, just it. She's like,
Speaker 1: what is it? Lor your expectations, Lory expectations.
Speaker 2: Stop stop, Juliet, this is terrible.
Speaker 1: Your art is personal and wrong.
Speaker 2: I was painting with my heart and if you look
Speaker 2: carefully you can see that the night is Josh Groebin
Speaker 2: are young century's greatest vocalist. Oh another grob night.
Speaker 1: I didn't get all the Josh Grobn loving this either.
Speaker 1: It just went on forever.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I was expecting to see in the
Speaker 2: closing credits special guest star Josh.
Speaker 1: Rober period was not in it. I'm like, what are
Speaker 1: we doing here? Did I love Josh Grovin in Heavenly Creatures?
Speaker 2: No, Heavenly Creatures set like in the nineteen fifties or something.
Speaker 1: What is the point? I don't know? But did they
Speaker 1: sing in songs? They're doing this? I just it doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. But Lisa says, she goes, well,
Speaker 1: do you want to be a teacher? Yes? I do,
Speaker 1: and she Lisa takes over the class. Then they bail
Speaker 1: her and Juliette leave. Juliet is new in town. Her
Speaker 1: father's lecturer at the Uni.
Speaker 2: I guess so letter somewhere specializing in the works of
Speaker 2: John Grisham.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, Yeah, and then they sing some Josh Grobin
Speaker 1: which goes on forever and I've got here. This is
Speaker 1: just killing time, really just killing time, and Willie puts
Speaker 1: the broom in his ears and Wiggans put the gun
Speaker 1: in his ears and what was the point?
Speaker 2: This is killing time? And also my will to live.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Lisa is now with Bart at the Quickie Mart.
Speaker 1: So it seems she's invited Bart down to the quicker
Speaker 1: Mart to help her buy candy for the first playdate
Speaker 1: because she's not used to having playdates anymore. She doesn't
Speaker 1: really have a friend.
Speaker 2: But it feels weird that she's referring to it as
Speaker 2: a playdate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's eight. Yeah, we wouldn't really.
Speaker 2: But I think I think something that you organize yourself,
Speaker 2: you would not necessarily call a playdate.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was going to say, when I organize something,
Speaker 1: I said, you should we organize a playdate for the kids.
Speaker 1: But it's not just hey, can I come over and
Speaker 1: play it? So that's not a playdate. Yeah. Anyway, Bazaar,
Speaker 1: So thereout the Quickie Mark, Bart is offering some suggestions
Speaker 1: in Eminem and Eminem's are great, and she's shutting them down.
Speaker 1: You're an idiot with whom being cruel, who comes in
Speaker 1: with a suggestion of the Almond Joys. Finally a real suggestion.
Speaker 1: I just went, why is everyone like this? Why is everybody? Look?
Speaker 1: In this episode so far everyone has been mean? Yes,
Speaker 1: so far. Ow. She arrives at Tuition Academy, which is
Speaker 1: unfortunate scholarship free, which means she's never getting in, and
Speaker 1: Lisa does not know what to do on a playdates.
Speaker 1: It's been so long, and Juliet says, my parents have
Speaker 1: bought me a pass for the Folk Art Museum, which
Speaker 1: includes access on Wednesdays apparently okay, and likely today is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so that we have a montage with them at the
Speaker 1: Folk Art Museum, which is just again killing time. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: but one of the robot sculptures, though, I will say,
Speaker 1: look like linguomember Linguo, which was that's the one based
Speaker 1: on go right and run, Lola run, that's right? Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: the multiple being Linguo dead. Linguo is dead. Yes, But
Speaker 1: besides that, though, there was nothing else to really relate
Speaker 1: in this. It was just them having fun at a
Speaker 1: Folk Art Museum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I said, when you yeah, you find a
Speaker 2: kindred spirit who someone's in the same weird shit that
Speaker 2: you are. Or it is like no one else would
Speaker 2: ever go to the Folk Art Museum with me. This
Speaker 2: person's not just here under like I suppose it'd be
Speaker 2: a nice place to go to. But we're both enthusiastic
Speaker 2: about this. It's a great feeling. It's a fantastic feeling.
Speaker 1: But it's me when I was a kid, when I
Speaker 1: discover someone else who liked wrestling, I go, you liked
Speaker 1: wrestling too? The yeah shit. Oh but Marge is happy
Speaker 1: that Lisa has finally found a friend and she's asked
Speaker 1: her to come over and to the house and play,
Speaker 1: finally starting to act like, as the book would say,
Speaker 1: normal childhood behavior. Well last, hey, man, can you yet
Speaker 1: sleep over? Are your parents okay with that?
Speaker 2: They never met us. We could be murderers, could have
Speaker 2: been if we hadn't had kids. These all feel like
Speaker 2: lines that would go over well in the writer's room.
Speaker 2: It was like, oh, yeah, Homer would say something like that,
Speaker 2: except yeah, there's a real disconnect in like each deliver
Speaker 2: I won't say how Dan's delivered.
Speaker 1: It's the way it plays out in the scene, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But having dinner here's another moment here. So they're having
Speaker 1: dinner and she brings up how father's the foremost scholar
Speaker 1: for John Grisham books, and she says that he discovered
Speaker 1: the real villain Time to Kill was the legal system itself,
Speaker 1: the legal system itself, and then goes told you, March
Speaker 1: told you, and it just looks at him. I don't think,
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on?
Speaker 2: And then I didn't mind that all that much because
Speaker 2: it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Why would I what it's not.
Speaker 2: It's a kind of a really obvious point in a
Speaker 2: Time to Kill.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know, the.
Speaker 2: Systems kind of flawed or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it feels like the kind of thing that Homer
Speaker 1: would be sort of going.
Speaker 2: I think the real villain is the legal system. Like
Speaker 2: he's come to this incredible inside. Okay, so I've never
Speaker 2: seen a time to care or read the book. So
Speaker 2: is that meant to be the joke?
Speaker 1: Is that? Well, of course everyone knows that. Oh do
Speaker 1: you think that's what they're going for here? I've missed
Speaker 1: That's It's a real just.
Speaker 2: Kind of simple inside that Homer would take as like
Speaker 2: him being the the Reds and less in just a
Speaker 2: corruption or whatever. It's like, yeah, he would feel like
Speaker 2: the smartest person in the room pointing out something that
Speaker 2: is kind of obvious.
Speaker 1: Okay, but now they're writing tales of a Koalia And
Speaker 1: this is where for me, I thought the episode has
Speaker 1: got so boring. So it's lights out the next the
Speaker 1: next This next moment here was probably the nicest moment
Speaker 1: of the episode, the one moment in the story that
Speaker 1: really felt like I had some emotional punch where lights
Speaker 1: are out. She asked Lesa to be a best friend.
Speaker 1: Marge's listening at the door, saying say yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: She says yes, and she says to herself, I have
Speaker 1: a best friend. Juliette here shays, you heard that, mustill
Speaker 1: be best friend me? Okay, yes, and she's like, my
Speaker 1: best friend's so cool. That's a nice moment. Sure is
Speaker 1: well you where we've all had a moment in our
Speaker 1: lives where we've got a best friend and we drop
Speaker 1: our guard and reveal or something about For me growing up,
Speaker 1: it was I had two best friends I've mentioned before,
Speaker 1: Medie mockel Meade and Daniel Jones Jonesy and Media. I
Speaker 1: call them, right, and now the only two of my
Speaker 1: friends who knew that I wet the bed. I went
Speaker 1: to the bed until I was about eleven. Right, That's
Speaker 1: why I wouldn't go to school camps, wouldn't have anything
Speaker 1: of that. But knowing that I could trust them and
Speaker 1: they just didn't care, it is special to me. It's
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, that So it reminded me of that
Speaker 1: moment where I was like, ah, I want to say
Speaker 1: at their house, I'm like, I wet the bed and
Speaker 1: I'm like so, I'm like, oh, cool, you don't care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that was my moment for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, No, it's fantastic when you have someone like that.
Speaker 1: In your life. Yeah, we can reveal something and go, oh,
Speaker 1: they just they genuinely just don't give a shit. It
Speaker 1: doesn't bother them. I still want to be your friend.
Speaker 1: But it's now the morning time and Lisa is meeting
Speaker 1: her after school, margin Homer offers some advice. It was
Speaker 1: the bit I was mentioning earlier. If the dog bites,
Speaker 1: you don't make a big deal out of it. March
Speaker 1: says that. Then Homer says the same thing and then
Speaker 1: patronizes Marge for being annoyed that she didn't. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I just didn't get what it feels like. It's writing
Speaker 1: Homer into the story for the sake of h We
Speaker 1: need Homer to say something. None of the jokes land,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, he just says something silly, and he's
Speaker 1: being rude to March. For the majority of everyone's rude
Speaker 1: to March. That's the bulk of this. If he's just
Speaker 1: saying something funny for the sake of it, that's different,
Speaker 1: or saying something stupid. But when he's blittling March, everything's
Speaker 1: blittling March. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think when we used to have Homer
Speaker 2: sort of making dumbass comments, but usually that would be
Speaker 2: at his own expence, and yeah, but they were never
Speaker 2: sort of if they were directed at March, the joke
Speaker 2: was always reflected back on Home. I always made him
Speaker 2: look bad or baffoonish or whatever. Whereas this is just
Speaker 2: kind of snarking and biting for the for the sake
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pointless, pointless snark, pointless snark. Yeah, now they're writing
Speaker 1: the book at the at the are they writing the book?
Speaker 1: So now they're writing the book outside. I think it
Speaker 1: must have been after school, and they think of the Tunicorn,
Speaker 1: that's their new character they've created, and she loves her accents,
Speaker 1: so she says, you can do the audio book. And
Speaker 1: then they're playing at the more the creative figures and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Nelson mocks them and then he has a headless dart
Speaker 1: Fader and email bus Stacey wrapped up in Sullifan tape
Speaker 1: and makes him kiss, makes them kiss. Yes, So what
Speaker 1: was your favorite figure when you're a kid.
Speaker 2: Look, I had a bunch of little a little sort
Speaker 2: of cowboy figures, but I don't know, might have inherited
Speaker 2: from someone or whatever. Some Star Wars action figures I
Speaker 2: never really play. I never like with my Star Wars
Speaker 2: because I never played Star Wars. I sort of made
Speaker 2: up my own stories that would have like, I know,
Speaker 2: Marthkter or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's because I had no originality, math data something like
Speaker 1: that I had. I loved my Street Sharks, I loved
Speaker 1: my Power Rangers, and I love my wrestling figures now
Speaker 1: my thirty things.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but there was nothing like the imagination you
Speaker 2: had when you're a kid as well, but particularly you know,
Speaker 2: sort of growing up in our eras maybe sort of
Speaker 2: pre into sort of stuff. Yeah, you would take the
Speaker 2: stuff that you saw, the stuff that you read or
Speaker 2: order that, and but you would remix it in your
Speaker 2: mind and use it as a jumping off point.
Speaker 1: Which one say to Elliot because when he watches a movie,
Speaker 1: for example, he loves cars, movie movie cars, where he's
Speaker 1: got all the card toys and stuff. He tries to
Speaker 1: recreate what he sees on the TV. And I say
Speaker 1: to him, it's okay if you don't do exactly what's
Speaker 1: on the TV, just do what you want. Or he
Speaker 1: was coloring a coloring book the other day. We're waiting
Speaker 1: for Nickel to nicol and Holly get the nails done,
Speaker 1: so but to big w and we've got a coloring
Speaker 1: book and we'll sit in there coloring in whist we're
Speaker 1: waiting for for the girls to finish. And he's coloring.
Speaker 1: He has, oh, I need a blue because because there's
Speaker 1: a Sonic book. And I said it's color and green,
Speaker 1: you guys, no, but Sonics blue. And I said, he
Speaker 1: can be what color you want him to be, mate,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. And it was almost like a light
Speaker 1: bulb when off he went, sure, so I can just
Speaker 1: be creative.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's color outside the lines don't.
Speaker 1: Matter, because he used to get really frustrat when we
Speaker 1: went outside the lines and I said, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It actually doesn't matter. And now he just does what
Speaker 1: he wants to. Yet he Knuckles is the red guy,
Speaker 1: you know, Knuckles from Sonic and he showed me and
Speaker 1: it was like a pink knuckles and I was like, cool,
Speaker 1: there you go. He's like, there's no red, sort of
Speaker 1: colored pink, and I'm like, you're getting it, buddy, You're
Speaker 1: getting it. It doesn't matter. Improvised, buddy, improvised.
Speaker 2: This is why his house captain.
Speaker 1: He is classic. Classic. He's working his way out. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so the yes, the notesn't been mocking to be playing
Speaker 1: with the toys on their way to dinner. Now at Juliete's,
Speaker 1: the Simpsons family are and they said, we're going to
Speaker 1: some big words. Homer says he'll use computer bark and
Speaker 1: have doorbell nice doorbell? Is it computerized? Don't you come
Speaker 1: up with any I don't think they could have gone
Speaker 1: for the choke bit here because it's too much.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think even I think
Speaker 2: Julie's family is like, why are you smacking a kid
Speaker 2: in the back of the head with such ferocity?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's the kind of humor that
Speaker 1: the differences we need to see. I think there needs
Speaker 1: to be a difference in class. We're not smacking NICKI
Speaker 1: around your manners or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: the father's now talking outside, you know, her father says
Speaker 1: nice to the fast friends. Did we get the toilet
Speaker 1: the bathroom gave? You're saying earlier?
Speaker 2: I do like that home who normally doesn't smoke a
Speaker 2: pipe is smoking.
Speaker 1: A pipe because in Millord and whatnot. And then the
Speaker 1: father is reading from the firm over the dinner table,
Speaker 1: and he tells the girls that can we perform a
Speaker 1: medley of our favorite Josh Groban songs? And the way
Speaker 1: again with the Grovin What the hell is going on here?
Speaker 1: It's just one of the writers daughters have loved Grovin
Speaker 1: or did one of the writers love Grobin? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: weird that you would do all this and not have
Speaker 1: him on the show, isn't it? It is?
Speaker 2: Again, I get where they're going, what they're going forward
Speaker 2: this kind of thing. I mean, I'm sure. Yeah, have
Speaker 2: been times when Elliott or Holly has been like, oh
Speaker 2: can I read There might be people around they sort
Speaker 2: of want to not show off, but can I read
Speaker 2: you this poem that I wrote or something along those lines,
Speaker 2: or here's the thing that I did in school that
Speaker 2: I learned today.
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, that's really sweet. But see it's
Speaker 1: funny though, when you become a parent. I used to
Speaker 1: look at parents and they put like their kids drawings
Speaker 1: in the fridge and go, it's two squiggles, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? I appreciate and actually my everything that my
Speaker 1: kids creates, it's weird. When you're the parent, you go,
Speaker 1: I know this is nothing, but something I created, created this.
Speaker 1: It's a it's what keeps you from devouring your children?
Speaker 1: What separazas from the what was the Homer gag? Or
Speaker 1: separatezs from the weasel?
Speaker 2: Something like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows? But so there they haven't. They haven't.
Speaker 1: They're doing the medley here for Josh groblah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: He interrupts the father and Trump says we should put
Speaker 1: on the Pelican brief score track three. She says, I
Speaker 1: hate track three. I hate it. She runs off list
Speaker 1: as I'll go get her then we get the repeatd
Speaker 1: gag of Homer saying, can you tell me what this
Speaker 1: lump is on my back? So the joke being I'm
Speaker 1: not that kind of doctor. But then it's just that
Speaker 1: it was a gummy bears. This is chewing chewing it.
Speaker 1: It's just that line again, is it a pimple or
Speaker 1: a boil? It was a gummy bear, same thing repeating.
Speaker 1: The gags sometimes play that Julia sees a quality in
Speaker 1: the backyard, and here I thought the episode was going
Speaker 1: to take a turn, but no, Lissa just randomly sees
Speaker 1: equality as well, and I was like, ah, okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was the part where I twigged because I didn't
Speaker 1: know what happens in the film. Is it?
Speaker 2: Yes, they start to become pretty to their hallucination fantasies
Speaker 2: and all that. In the minute they so like I
Speaker 2: can see it, and it pops up at and know
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh yeah, they're doing They're doing Heavenly creatures. Wow,
Speaker 2: that's a.
Speaker 1: Secure that's a dip cut. So basically, here they see
Speaker 1: the tundicorn. They see I think it's a draft to
Speaker 1: puss or something. It's a it's uncomfortable just about everywhere
Speaker 1: a couple on land and on water or in water
Speaker 1: and on land, and then they have a big dance
Speaker 1: to Josh have a song again, not a whole or
Speaker 1: two this episode now there's there's lots of just absolute filler.
Speaker 1: But the girls now write in their book Marge's role playing.
Speaker 1: She comes in, she's got the cookies that are shaped
Speaker 1: like certain things whatever with dragon eggs. She's just trying
Speaker 1: to be involved with this is our thing, not yours,
Speaker 1: and I just want to be involved with the best
Speaker 1: of you don't. And I thought the fact that that
Speaker 1: wasn't call back on not good gott to drop the
Speaker 1: ball this episode. Yeah. Skinner then calls the parents and
Speaker 1: says Lisa is being unfocused, she's not really doing very
Speaker 1: well at school. That's not followed up on either.
Speaker 2: No, and even the whole gag about yeah, they're so
Speaker 2: used to this being bart yeah, that they're not really
Speaker 2: listening and they're just like, but we'll do this. It's like,
Speaker 2: why is this not funny?
Speaker 1: The best version of that was but no, sorry, habit
Speaker 1: that's the peak. But again, this is where Skinner mentions
Speaker 1: the Facebook page what and I was like, oh, you
Speaker 1: old writers in the writer's room, like in the Facebooks
Speaker 1: where I tell Lisa you can't see Juliet anymore because
Speaker 1: you're not focused at school and you're just becoming a
Speaker 1: different person. You're being mean to people. And she says, oh, disobey,
Speaker 1: And Marge's already three steps ahea because she's Bart Simpson's mother.
Speaker 1: She tries to think out the Winnow she catches her
Speaker 1: in the wash basket. Then Bart sneaks he goes, but
Speaker 1: age ten, he sneaks away. That's it. You don't see
Speaker 1: where he goes. It's just that's it.
Speaker 2: These are all ideas that just sound good on paper.
Speaker 1: I thought Bart aged ten and he jumps away like
Speaker 1: an injury outing, and I thought, how's Marge? Marge didn't
Speaker 1: get him. Shouldn't the game be that? He thinks, even
Speaker 1: though he's age, he's smarter than March and Marge is
Speaker 1: still too smart for him.
Speaker 2: He thinks, so, but I don't know, Man's I'm really
Speaker 2: just I'm flammixed by this episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just feels very pointless, very pointless. Indeed. Now
Speaker 1: Juliet meets Lisa at the school. She says, let's run
Speaker 1: away together, and I'm like, what is going on? Here.
Speaker 1: She says, I can't though, you can't go Juliette because
Speaker 1: I have to go to the un you know, because
Speaker 1: that's what Lisa does. It just Aqualia needs you. And
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, you're right, this fake thing that we've
Speaker 1: made up, yep, it needs me. Aqualia is not real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really feel like we're forced to do a
Speaker 2: lot of heavy lifting off as I was here.
Speaker 1: And if you haven't seen the source material and Heavenly creatures,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to you. I've said time
Speaker 1: and time again, the best parodies are the ones where
Speaker 1: they're enjoyable, whether you've seen the actual source material or not.
Speaker 1: This one is just fucking weird. It is so weird
Speaker 1: that Lisa has just started fantasizing me this Aqualia, and
Speaker 1: I get it, she's got a new fan and she
Speaker 1: loves it.
Speaker 2: But it's the responsibility is not on us as the
Speaker 2: viewer to go, Okay, well, I guess she's feeling this,
Speaker 2: or I guess this means that, so that it would
Speaker 2: explain that, no, it's not on you to fill in
Speaker 2: the blanks that the episode failed to do.
Speaker 1: For me. It lost me when Lisa was visualizing it
Speaker 1: all and feeling like she was actually in Aqualia. So
Speaker 1: it's just them writing the book and Lisa's going and
Speaker 1: then this happens, and they're this role playing and she's
Speaker 1: envisioning in her mind, but to actually see it in
Speaker 1: front of her and think she's in the world. I
Speaker 1: thought this is just a step too far. It's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I won't say it's too much of a departure
Speaker 2: from her traditional character, because she's an imaginative person and
Speaker 2: a creative person, but this kind of thing is out
Speaker 2: of sync with her kind of creative exactly her kind
Speaker 2: of imagination, so she need to be under the sway
Speaker 2: of someone else who has that wellspring of creativity or
Speaker 2: what her that also has this kind of charisma and
Speaker 2: the kind of charisma to draw you in and make
Speaker 2: you see Equalia. But also, Juliet is not charismatic enough
Speaker 2: for Lisa to fall under her sway. The character needed
Speaker 2: to be more sort of like, oh, my god, she's
Speaker 2: so mysterious and wild and everything like that. She's everything
Speaker 2: that I want to be.
Speaker 1: She's not.
Speaker 2: No, all due respect to Emily Blunt and whoever else
Speaker 2: created this character, but it's just like, yeah, to be oh,
Speaker 2: she's so wild and free. She's an incredible free spirit,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. Then you, oh, oh, that's because
Speaker 2: she's crazy, because a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people are a lot of crazy people are
Speaker 1: care Lisa should have realized, oh, this chick's crazy at
Speaker 1: the moment in the backyard when she's visualizing it, right,
Speaker 1: and I think it would have been a better spin.
Speaker 1: You don't have to just do heavenly creatures a bit
Speaker 1: for bit. It could have been you're doing heavily creatures.
Speaker 1: But that moment Lisa realizes, oh, wait a minute, she's
Speaker 1: actually crazy, and Marge was right. And then but this
Speaker 1: chick starts stalking her or something.
Speaker 2: I think you need to do, like a rule of
Speaker 2: threes kind of thing where you get three hallucinations. The
Speaker 2: first time is Juliard is seeing it and she's explaining
Speaker 2: it in great detail. Lisa can't see it, but she's like, oh,
Speaker 2: there's a castle over there, and there's the dragon's leg,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Juliet is child's imagination,
Speaker 2: child's imagination, and it's so vivid and in the way
Speaker 2: that Juliet explains it that Lisa's like, Wow, this person's fantastic.
Speaker 2: They're so imaginative and fun. The next time she does
Speaker 2: it again, and this time Lisa sees it, Wow, you've
Speaker 2: draw me into this world. I'm so happy to be
Speaker 2: here with you. The third time Julia does it, she
Speaker 2: does it too much, and it's like and over there
Speaker 2: is the spike where your father's head is or some
Speaker 2: shit like that. It's like, oh, wait a minute, Oh no,
Speaker 2: that's too vivid, and you were always real and you're
Speaker 2: trying to bring this into the real, like to quote
Speaker 2: the great poets, Hall notes, I can't go for that,
Speaker 2: No can do so. Yeah, I mean that's how I
Speaker 2: would certainly do that, and honestly, I think it'd be
Speaker 2: much better.
Speaker 1: I think we do a pretty good job of fixing
Speaker 1: these episodes lately.
Speaker 2: I think, just like Jimmy Saville, we'll fix it. I'll
Speaker 2: wait a minute.
Speaker 1: So this is where we get really saying humbers the
Speaker 1: one time he ran up to a land of equality,
Speaker 1: and we get him arriving at Alice Island saying that
Speaker 1: he's William Doogal You're now Grand Skipper really, and that's it.
Speaker 1: There's no joke there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I kind of like the idea of that that.
Speaker 2: I'm no fan of Willy, as everyone knows, I do
Speaker 2: like the idea, like, oh, I've come from this far
Speaker 2: away land to back in my home country. I was
Speaker 2: a doctor and he was like, we got enough doctors.
Speaker 2: He's a groundskeeper.
Speaker 1: Though. I guess this is new life.
Speaker 2: It's a good throwaway gag in my mind, at least,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: This was maybe a doctor. Why we didn't come to
Speaker 1: a land of Equality's I'm sure, well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, don't think about it that much. The
Speaker 1: girls now riding, and they arrive at Clammelot, the Rundown
Speaker 1: seafood restaurant that went downhill fast. It's just where we'll live.
Speaker 1: How did you sign this place? My family ate here
Speaker 1: last week?
Speaker 2: It really went downhill fast.
Speaker 1: But if you just believe any place can be a qualia.
Speaker 2: Oh no, clam Loots is closed.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. They clam chowter smelled like shap Yeah.

Speaker 1: Marge because Marge thinks that she's at the un she
Speaker 1: hasn't told she hasn't told the family that she's gone
Speaker 1: off to Akuali, and Martin Kle says that there's no
Speaker 1: Abajan you can to the extent, to an extent, you
Speaker 1: can't trust the word of Belgians, So I am telling
Speaker 1: the truth. Margin blames herself for Lisa running away if
Speaker 1: it's not her fault at all, and Bart suggests that
Speaker 1: they've probably just gone to some stupid castle. Marge like,
Speaker 1: I know where they've gone. And Namma has the conversation
Speaker 1: here a butt, whether she wear a tie or nice
Speaker 1: shoes and whatever?
Speaker 2: See again a joke that could possibly quote unquote work, Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't a scene, but the whole thing is like, oh well,
Speaker 2: I think I think you know Marge would need to say, oh,
Speaker 2: they're at that abandoned you remember that fancy restaurant, and
Speaker 2: that's now we're going to do I need my do
Speaker 2: I need.
Speaker 1: Wood one, Except that would ruin this moment just why
Speaker 1: they didn't do it would ruin the reveal of them
Speaker 1: not being at the actual place. We'll see.
Speaker 2: We need this is why we need to write his room.
Speaker 1: But it's right though, work it out so Marge knows
Speaker 1: where they're going. And so if you want to use
Speaker 1: that joke, you need that set up. You need a joke,
Speaker 1: A punchline needs to set up. It does. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just very much. There was like three or four moments
Speaker 1: in this episode where I'm watching this going it feels
Speaker 1: like they've gone, well, we need to end with Homer
Speaker 1: saying something funny or silly. How many? How many? How
Speaker 1: many scenes in this episode ended with Homer saying something
Speaker 1: stupid more than one. There's the one of the dinner
Speaker 1: table saying told you, Marge. There's the if you say so, Marge,
Speaker 1: There's this one. There's there was one day that started
Speaker 1: the episode as well. I can't remember what it was exactly,
Speaker 1: probably when he dropping kids off at the that wasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily that wasn't relliant. Yeah, maybe kind of, but there
Speaker 1: was one after that. But there's so many scenes just
Speaker 1: end with Homer saying something stupid.
Speaker 2: Well, for the longest time, that was kind of key
Speaker 2: to the show's success.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was also funny.
Speaker 2: Well that's true. Yeah, I know, Homo saying something that's
Speaker 2: gonna work.
Speaker 1: But we have the girls hanging out in the in
Speaker 1: the Klammelot Seaford restaurant. You think the family are arriving
Speaker 1: with the silhouettes, but it's actually the bullies, which was
Speaker 1: a nice they got me a nice review. They tie
Speaker 1: them up because they think they're gonna blow them about
Speaker 1: their stashed stolen peaches and they've seen it a bit
Speaker 1: extreme waiting out the bad haircuts as well. Yeah, lots
Speaker 1: of me in cages and stuff. You know, we come back.
Speaker 1: They been putting the cages. Juliette says, shut your eyes
Speaker 1: for a quality and this is like, can we just not?
Speaker 1: She goes, well, it's better than being here, so they
Speaker 1: do so.
Speaker 2: As she said, what was it? The real world is
Speaker 2: for people who can't imagine anything better.
Speaker 1: Yes, Kearnie is an interested in their story as they're
Speaker 1: talking about it. He's like, what's going on is they
Speaker 1: have dragons and Lisa's about to mock him to the
Speaker 1: dragons and it's like, no, no, he's got dragons chubby ball
Speaker 1: ones and he's now invested in because they're the ones
Speaker 1: that he likes.
Speaker 2: Just to rewind just for a second, I had an issue.
Speaker 2: Whether they're putting the girls in cages or tying them
Speaker 2: up or whatever, this seems a bit extreme, Like I said.
Speaker 1: That's what she said, that's true.
Speaker 2: Why not have a sort of a not a necessarily
Speaker 2: parallel storyline. But the bullies are showed up because they're
Speaker 2: playing their own kind of fantasy game or something. It's like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: you know they're doing like say, the girls have got
Speaker 2: a quality. It's a bit more sort of a romanticy
Speaker 2: kind of deal, whereas the boys are doing like a
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones, more grungey kind of shit with a
Speaker 2: castle or whatever. It's like, and they're locked it not
Speaker 2: locked in their own fantasy. But it was like, well,
Speaker 2: we've got our own fantasy game as well. We're tying
Speaker 2: you to a steak, you witches or something along those
Speaker 2: and those vision versus vision, it's vision versus vision, as
Speaker 2: opposed to just oh, we're going to tie these girls
Speaker 2: up because we stole some peaches, Like, what the fuck, man,
Speaker 2: what's the point. So this way it gives you a
Speaker 2: little bit of an out, and it also a little
Speaker 2: bit of a nice parallel synchronousity. I think that would
Speaker 2: work a whole lot better. And then Kearney gets.
Speaker 1: Turned by Nys in their vision that he jumps into
Speaker 1: their vision and joins their side. Yeah, I think that'd
Speaker 1: be better. I think that would be great.
Speaker 2: And then it's like, I better walk that back because
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be great, but better is it's
Speaker 2: a much a more effective way put it.
Speaker 1: The Jimbo and Dolph arrive with the cream for the peaches,
Speaker 1: and they grab the book, the Equality Book, and they
Speaker 1: go to burn it, and Kney helps them, and he
Speaker 1: thinks or that in the vision, it looks like he
Speaker 1: has beating them all up. In reality, he's just envisioning
Speaker 1: himself beating them up, but he's actually been beaten up himself,
Speaker 1: and Juliet and Lisa just leave him to be beaten up.
Speaker 1: Way to disregard your savior, Yes, Lisa says she doesn't
Speaker 1: want to do this anymore, don't want to go to
Speaker 1: equality anymore. And she wants to live in the real
Speaker 1: world and he said the real word is for people
Speaker 1: who can't imagine anything better. And she says goodbye, Juliette googoole.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, bitch, five minutes ago, you were invested
Speaker 1: in this.
Speaker 2: Human beings are complicated, as we know. There's it's not
Speaker 2: outside the realms of possibility that you know a couple
Speaker 2: of minutes, ten minutes, minutes earlier could be like, oh
Speaker 2: my bestie is so oh my best is crazy to
Speaker 2: make that transition, But what has really changed. They did
Speaker 2: not do enough to show how immersed in this fantasy
Speaker 2: world and this fantasy life.
Speaker 1: Juliet is because it got her in a.
Speaker 2: Detrimental effect you can have on the real world.
Speaker 1: Because it got her into danger because they went to
Speaker 1: this place and whatnot. But it's like, why don't you
Speaker 1: just do a quality at your house? Then? What? Why
Speaker 1: is she now suddenly crazy? It's like, no, you were heavy,
Speaker 1: heaven heavily. You were heavily invested in this story and
Speaker 1: this world two minutes ago, and now she's cooged because
Speaker 1: she wants them to I get it. That's to wrap
Speaker 1: up the episode, but silly parody. Weird because the two
Speaker 1: months later and they the place in New York has
Speaker 1: received the manuscript, but it's not what they're looking for.
Speaker 1: But Moxer for being rejected much as willis your letter
Speaker 1: all the way from New York and that's it, Like
Speaker 1: that's the end of it.
Speaker 2: Well, no, it's not quite because Home has written his.
Speaker 1: Own but I mean Lisa's menu, that's the end of
Speaker 1: it quite, Like, well, we did make sure that Qualia
Speaker 1: is never mentioned again, so that's it. It'll be an.
Speaker 2: I was punchline to have Juliet have written her own
Speaker 2: Equality of book and it actually becomes she becomes like.
Speaker 1: J K just about to say I can't believe that
Speaker 1: the punchline here wasn't because I thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be. Unfortunately we already have a similar story from
Speaker 1: one Juliet blah blah. Yes, And I was like, why
Speaker 1: is it was right there? Yeah? The fucking payoff was right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and have like as the author of a Juliet
Speaker 3: k Yes bowling. Yeah, he gave us nothing. There was
Speaker 3: no wrap up, no parody, It was just bar wocking.
Speaker 3: Her list is saying, well, a least you got a
Speaker 3: letter from New York. There was an actual joke there.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you give it to me?
Speaker 1: Mom?
Speaker 2: They gave us another jake and said, well, Homer said,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm running my own book based on my
Speaker 2: experiences as are dead. Except he's seeing what like someone's
Speaker 2: a hot dog and they're dancing donuts or something like that,
Speaker 2: and he just basically comes coclusion, writing his heart.
Speaker 1: Guess what, yeah it is. Yeah, you've shown that with
Speaker 1: this episode, Ryan Kelly. Is that meant to be his
Speaker 1: way of saying sorry, at least you tried. At least
Speaker 1: you tried in deed, So I'm sorry, Brian, but man,
Speaker 1: fuck you LISTA. The Drama Queen is an episode we
Speaker 1: shall not be revisiting anytime soon. Never. I haven't said revisiting, revisiting,
Speaker 1: will not be revisiting this episode. It was not good.
Speaker 2: No, but you get you know for that boy playing
Speaker 2: the Simpsons theme over the closing credits is it.
Speaker 1: Do you think they got to the end of the
Speaker 1: episode when we need to live them with something good
Speaker 1: they were thinking that instead you just get oh for it? Boy.
Speaker 1: The singer Pat Patrick stumps he does so many kids
Speaker 1: show theme songs. So he does the Spidy songs. That
Speaker 1: was all the Spidy soundtracks is another one he's done,
Speaker 1: Like he's really good.
Speaker 2: I was reading some article the other day about Mark Mothersbaugh,
Speaker 2: the front man from Devo okay, and he's done a
Speaker 2: lot of soundtracks, but there was one he did the
Speaker 2: soundtrack for some animated show or whatever, and it basically
Speaker 2: it's just like and now I own an Ailen something.
Speaker 2: He wasn't saying that, but someone was saying.
Speaker 1: Like that, John love it.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to put the extravagance, but it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he gets, you know, some exorbitant amount every time it's played,
Speaker 2: and it's played all the time.
Speaker 1: I thought your joke was going to be he wrote
Speaker 1: the soundtrack for a whippet.
Speaker 2: He was able to buy a dog, and that dog
Speaker 2: is a whibbit. I'll look it up and I'll try
Speaker 2: and put it in some show notes or something like that, but.
Speaker 1: We've never seen those notes.
Speaker 2: Of course, I always have the best of intentions, much
Speaker 2: like this episode. But guess what I was full shot?
Speaker 1: What do we learn? What did you learn it from
Speaker 1: the episode?
Speaker 2: Mister Davis that if you want to buy candy to
Speaker 2: share it. May I recommend a tasty almond joy I
Speaker 2: won't or a twist.
Speaker 1: It's only if I don't want to kiss Nickoler, because
Speaker 1: if I eat something with Owen's in it and kis Nickoler,
Speaker 1: she's in trouble. Well, that's right.
Speaker 2: What did I say yesterday about?
Speaker 1: Because what was it? We dissed Crispy Cream donuts. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. You showed me the pistachio donut from
Speaker 1: Krispy Kreme, which she's going it still looks they pour
Speaker 1: the stuff on top, because you actually watch them when
Speaker 1: they rip over that donut. It looks shit inside probably does.
Speaker 1: It looks looks thick, It doesn't look doesn't look how
Speaker 1: it doesn't delicious, But they pour their melk. They pour
Speaker 1: the melted stuff on top, so it looks all smoothing cream.
Speaker 1: That's not what you're getting when you bite into that
Speaker 1: don Oh no, probably not nola dry and yeah good
Speaker 1: Krispy Creme. Don't rate it at all, a lam a dream.
Speaker 1: I know they're ne gonna sponsor the show. I just
Speaker 1: don't rate Krispy Cremes. Let us know the listeners mailbag
Speaker 1: or four finger discount dot com dot you Chrispy Cream donuts,
Speaker 1: you rate them or not, so that next week you're
Speaker 1: gonna start a Simpson's campaign and they'll be like, who
Speaker 1: should we sponsored. I'm like, oh, no, delete delete dumb button,
Speaker 1: dumb but no, no, it's not interesting. It probably was. It's
Speaker 1: not interesting. I'm gonna leave that in absolutely zero interest.
Speaker 1: And what I was about to say, what did I learn?
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find something here. I learned that
Speaker 1: one thing, one thing the bullies were correct about is
Speaker 1: that you can't eat peaches without cream. That's I'm not
Speaker 1: a big peaches guy. Nah, it's one of those there's
Speaker 1: millions of them, millions of peaches, usually for free.
Speaker 2: It feels like one of those fruits that I should like. Hmmm,
Speaker 2: you know you look so juicy and sweet and delaightful.
Speaker 1: This is gonna sound silly, but do you have any
Speaker 1: emotional connection to a type of fruit? I have an
Speaker 1: emotional connection to nectarines because the house growing up in
Speaker 1: nor Lane had a really good nectarine tree at the
Speaker 1: front that always kicked us during the spring, and the
Speaker 1: nectarenes were massive and huge, and basically the neighborhood would
Speaker 1: come in. It was like the neighborhood's nectarine tree that'd
Speaker 1: come just put the nectarines off and just grow new ones.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It was just it was great. And
Speaker 1: we grew in a tourene tree here because I was like,
Speaker 1: I have this nostalgia for having a nectarine tree. I
Speaker 1: don't actually like eating nectarines, but I love the idea
Speaker 1: of a nectarine tree. It's like nostalgia for me.
Speaker 2: Well, I certainly don't have as emotional connection as you
Speaker 2: do that. It was a lovely story, Dan, though, because
Speaker 2: we had a little kum quote tree growing up.
Speaker 1: But excuse me, what come quartz?
Speaker 2: Oh local fruit that excludes in your mouth.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of those either, But I think
Speaker 1: the way you.
Speaker 2: Would the sky is like, oh, you know, comes the season,
Speaker 2: and yeah, the tree is just bursting with these lovely
