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

2 days 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.

Rear Window with Emma Badame
Bust out your telephoto lens, because this week we take a hard look at “Bart of Darkness” (S6E1) and Rear Window (1954) on its 70th anniversary. Nate and Adam are joined by That Shelf Managing Editor and Jeopardy champ Emma Badame to reminisce about baby’s first Alfred Hitchcock movie and the episode of The Simpsons that convinced us to do this podcast. Also in this episode: • The mystery references of this episode’s Hitchcockian climax • The insanely detailed set and sound design that take this movie from a “bottle episode” to a cinematic classic • Nate’s own Rear Window story and the ethics of neighborliness • Your epidermis is showing • Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading After a short break, we’ll be back on September 24, 2024, with Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) and a retrospective on Springfield’s favorite desperate salesman Ol’ Gil, starting with “Realty Bites” (S9E9).
