Comedian, writer, producer, actor and hot-bed-loving Nina Oyama joins us this week to review 'Scenes From The Class Struggle In Springfield', the first episode credited to a female writer/director combo and THE Marge episode of the "golden era".
We cover the struggles of not only Marge, but also the Simpsons family and members of the Springfield Country Club, as well as what makes Marge's transition into insanity so believable (and relatable), Homer discovering his newfound golfing skills, the lack of Bart and why it worked and more.
We also discuss Nina's earliest Simpsons memories, the struggles of sketch comedy in Australia, terrible first impressions, her favourite take-out, the benefits of online shopping and more.
