Talking Simpsons

"She's taken my daughter to an erupting volcano? That's it! She's off the Christmas card list." - Marge Simpson
An old high school chum returns to Springfield, and Marge can't help but feel insecure about her own lack of worldly accomplishments. Can she reclaim her role as Lisa's female role model and save her young daughter from an agonizing, lava-based death?

We've reached the end of the month, which means it's time for another episode of our community podcast! This time around, we discuss the most recent Simpsons episodes, participate in the Ella McCay challenge, and bemoan the first major delay to hit The Simpsons Movie 2. And, as always, we read and respond to your comments and questions from the last round of episodes. It's all happening on Talk to the Audience: the podcast that promises to give you the most traumatic hose-soaking of your life!

"Mom, romance is dead. It was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off, piece by piece.'" - Lisa Simpson
In what's probably the worst episode of The Simpsons—or at least the biggest waste of time—the family recounts stories of love and loss via 16 clips and/or clip packages. Come for the jokes you've already laughed at, stay for roughly five minutes of new animation, and leave knowing this production somehow occupies valuable space in the otherwise incredibly solid season six.
