Springfield Googolplex: The Movie Podcast for Fans of The Simpsons

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.

Ben-Hur (1959)
When Jay Sherman showed up as a guest judge for the Springfield Film Festival, it created the perfect platform for one of the most movie parody-packed episodes of The Simpsons ever. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of “A Star Is Burns” (S6E18), Adam and Nate explore an equally epic movie—Ben-Hur (1959)—as well as The Critic, an even more movie-saturated series developed by several Simpsons alumni. Also in this episode: • Is this movie actually as Christian as it seems, or is there very little meat in this gym mat? • Which actor is more Troy McClure-ish, Charlton Heston or Stephen Boyd? • Does the chariot race that launched a thousand homages hold up today? • Are the lepers in Ben-Hur as scary as Maude Flanders thinks? Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading Next time, Nate and Adam look back on our favorite movies of the year and recap the surprises, snubs, and the Simpsons-related host of the 97th Academy Awards.  For more Simpsons movie parody content, check out SpringfieldGoogolplex.com, or follow us @simpsonsfilmpod on Instagram, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube, and Letterboxd.
