Worst Episode Ever (A Simpsons Podcast)

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...

It's May Officially so Dan & Jack make American humor great again and host their third Mayoween, watching Season 25's Treehouse of Horror XXIV, an episode featuring among other vignettes a particularly groophic Dr. Seuss parody.

After one hundred test shows, Dan and Jack watch Season 8's Homer Enemy aka The Frank Grimes episode and discuss in an extra long discussion whether it can be considered The Simpsons' first jump-the-shark moment. They also break down the nature of who Frank Grimes is and what he stands for both in and out of the Simpsons canon. Did The Simpsons become meta because of its age or because of the come...

Recorded LIVE on Periscope, Jack & Dan celebrate their 100th episode ever by going inside the hype and watching their most requested episode ever, Season 23's Moe Goes From Rags to Riches, a tale narrated by a talking rag that spans time, reveals Moe's yeti parentage, and might as well be static for twenty one minutes. Is there a Unified Theory of Post-Classic Simpsons? Did they have to make the F...

Odd ducks Jack & Dan record from the muck and watch Season 41's "One Fish, Apu Fish, Ned Fish, Disco Stu Fish," a strange and jarring episode written by fancy, out-of-touch Harvard graduates that feels completely improvised and wastes Anthony Edwards. They also discuss the driving dynamic of Homer & Marge and dissect season 3's perfect Spinal Tap sequence. Where does Freet's voice come from? What...

Dan and Jack, the Info Wars of Simpsons Podcasts, take away from society and cover Season 13's Sweets and Sour Marge, an Oops! All Berries episode that wastes Ben Stiller and has Marge (sort of) take on the sugar industry and fail miserably while Homer goes on an adventure with an actual, canonical vampire. Will this be our new Worst Episode Ever? What will Matt Groening's next Fox show be? How ar...

Jack and Dan cover their hedges and cover Season 28's The Great Phatsby, the first ever hour-long episode of The Simpsons that features a Burns A-plot, a Smithers B-plot, and barely any subplots for the actual Simpsons.

All that plus the WEE Body Deodorant Sarcophagus Store, the New York City Hostess Sn...

Dan and Jack spend a Groundhog's Day loop watching season 12's Trilogy of Error, an episode cooler than a million dead bodies where Homer loses his thumb, Lisa falls in love, and Bart rats out the mafia. Where oes Jack go to cry? How did Freet come about? What's the di-di-di-dillio, what's the di-di-deal? All that plus a cap of the WEE plot, the Keatonassiance, static nuts, and cocaine oatmeal.

Dan and Jack celebrate the end of 2016 with their third annual drunken New Year's episode, with WEE Studios regulars Geoff Wolyniec and Nick Noga.
