It's time for the David Mirkin Era to begin on Talking Simpsons officially, and we're kicking it off with comedian/writer Mike Lawrence! After Mike shares fun stories of working with Simpsons legend Greg Daniels, we discuss the show's deepest tribute to Citizen Kane. In this absolute classic, Burns searches for Bobo, The Ramones sing "Happy Birthday," Homer eats a lot of cheese, and too many other beloved moments to name in one description. Plus, Mike gives us insights in Homer's debut as a roast comedian and much more in this deep dive. So look out Smithers, and listen to this podcast!

As Lisa gets another makeover, we welcome back Merritt K (check out her new game, Fledgling Manor) to help us make sense of this 2003 satire! It's primarily a lengthy parody of the Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita, and we do our best to figure out which songs are being referenced. Plus, this musical episode features Michael Moore, leading us all to reflect on the politics of 2003, 2013, and today. Not to mention a history of Elvis kissing bats and theme park zombies in this melodic podcast!

Just as we did for The Simpsons Sing The Blues, we're joined by Alex Navarro from Nextlander to discuss the other novelty album from Springfield. Yes, it's time for us to cover the barely-released oddity The Yellow Album! And we're chatting about it just when it was planned to be released, between the fourth and fifth seasons. But why was it released in 1998? How was there a lost Prince song on it? Who worked on it and who held it back for six years? After a lot of research, we have answers to all that, and then we review all the songs in one epic podcast full of love and commandments!

We're covering an allegedly prophetic ep of Simpsons, and for that, we're joined once more by Stephen Sajdak, cohost of the We Hate Movies podcast! After the Osaka Flu ravages Springfield, Marge is arrested for shoplifting, and we discuss how much it might mirror the 2020 lockdown. Then we dig into the best Lionel Hutz sequence in the entire series, followed by trying to figure out all the changes in the weird third act. You won't be saying "malaise forever" after this podcast!

Together we celebrate what most call the best episode of the season, thanks to Emmy-winning acting by Hank Azaria, not to mention the stunning direction of Lauren MacMullan.
