Springfield Googolplex: The Movie Podcast for Fans of The Simpsons
Adam Schoales and Nate Storring

1 day ago
Adam and Nate are joined by film critic Norm Wilner to revisit I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its parody in “Treehouse of Horror X” (S11E4), one of the most movie parody-packed episodes of The Simpsons ever. Does Norm still agree with his pull quote on every home release of this movie that says it’s “a pure fright machine [that] scares the hell out of you”? (Did he ever?) Also in this episode: • Screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s meta impact on pop culture • Does this movie work better as a ghost movie or a whodunnit?  • Norm’s theory about the deep cut reference behind werewolf Flanders • Could the recent legasequel be an improvement on the original? Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading Next time, we’ll be nursing our Halloween hangover with a little horror hair of the dog. Simpsons writer Dan Vebber joins us to talk about his incredibly ambitious episode “Thanksgiving of Horror” (S31E8) and its parody of Alien (1979).  For more of Norm’s work, check out his podcast Someone Else’s Movie and his physical media newsletter Shiny Things.

After Hours
Adam and Nate debate the virtues of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours (1985) on its 40th anniversary. At least they can agree that “Bart Sells His Soul” (S7E4) is pretty much a perfect Simpsons episode. Also in this episode: • Uncle Moe’s Family Feedbag and the restaurants that inspired it • Is the dream logic of this movie enticing or frustrating? • The wild and wooly world of 1980s New York • Why does the Comic Book Guy want to buy a little boy’s soul? Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading Next time, Adam and Nate celebrate our 50th episode with a special look at how Simpsons parodies stack up against the canon of American film!
